20140236708 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR A PREDICTIVE ADVERTISING ENGINE - Methods and apparatus for a predictive advertising engine may determine a user's likelihood to purchase an advertised item. Methods and apparatus for a predictive advertising engine may retrieve data associated with an advertisement, a content, and a user. The retrieved data may be enhanced, segmented, and sent to predictive modeling software. The predictive modeling software may calculate a score indicating the user's likelihood to purchase the advertised item. The scores may be stored in a first database. The first database may be referenced by the predictive advertising engine to determine which advertisement to deliver to the user. The predictive advertising engine may present a commercial to the user upon user selection of the advertisement, may present a questionnaire to the user upon the user viewing the commercial or selecting the advertisement, and may record the user's answers and interactions to further refine the predictive model. | 08-21-2014 |

20100287582 | AUTO DISCOVERY AND AUTO PROVISIONING OF SET TOP BOXES - A system and method for the automatic discovery and provisioning of a video set top box within an IPTV network is provided. When first connected to a residential gateway, the set top box requests the address information of the residential gateway. The set top box then sends a request to a video operations and support server (VOSS) with the identifying information for the set top box and the residential gateway. Once the VOSS determines that the residential gateway is authorized for video service, the VOSS associates the residential gateway with the set top box. The VOSS then communicates the authorization to a middleware server, which downloads client software and encryption keys to the set top box, enabling the set top box to request and receive video content. The set top box may be reconnected to any port on the residential gateway and receive video service without being re-provisioned. | 11-11-2010 |
20100325672 | IN-HOME DISTRIBUTION RESIDENTIAL GATEWAY AND/OR SET TOP BOX - A multimedia residential gateway device for providing video services to multiple televisions within a home. The device receives incoming video content from a DSL, DOCSIS, or Ethernet data stream and outputs selected content to individual televisions, with the content for each television being transmitted over an ATSC or NTSC channel associated with each television. This eliminates the need for multiple set top boxes in a high-definition offering. Radio frequency handheld remotes for each television are provided which communicate directly with the gateway device. The device may also be provided as a multi-television set top box, wherein the device receives Ethernet data streams from a customer's existing residential gateway. | 12-23-2010 |
