20080219242 | Method for Charging for a Communication Link Routed Via a Packet-Switched Communication Network - Disclosed is a method for charging for a communication link established from a first communication terminal (A) to a target communication terminal (B) via a packet-switched communication by transmitting message packets, the target communication terminal (B) featuring forwarding to at least one additional communication device (C). The inventive method comprises the following steps: —the first communication terminal (A) sends a signaling message ( | 09-11-2008 |
20090041433 | METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR STORING AND PLAYING BACK TV PROGRAMMES - The invention relates to a method and arrangement ( | 02-12-2009 |
20090222866 | Devices and/or Methods for Switching Between Program Sources - Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a method comprising: determining a second program corresponding to a received first program; recognizing an interruption of the first program; based on a time of the interruption, specifying a time of continuation of the second program; and transmitting the second program to an output unit at the time of continuation. | 09-03-2009 |
20090297129 | Apparatus and Method for Recording Programs and for Replaying them with a Time Offset - Certain exemplary embodiments relate to a device and/or an associated method in which a recorded television or radio program can be played back from a recording of said program without additional programs, such as commercial breaks. A current program can be resumed once the recording has been played back. Processed program segments can be retrieved while repeated segments can be tuned out during playback. The current program can be resumed more quickly if processed program segments are retrieved during playback. | 12-03-2009 |
20090300697 | Method and Arrangement for Storing and Playing Back TV Programmes - The invention relates to a method and a PVR server for storing and playing back TV programmes, in particular to an improved method for operating a network PVR and to an improved PVR server ( | 12-03-2009 |
20100011390 | Method and Configuration for Storing and Playing Back TV Transmissions - An improved method and configuration for operating a network containing a personal video recorder server having measures for receiving several digitally encoded TV channels, for feeding several terminals and for recording storable TV programs. The terminals have measures for selecting storable TV programs and measures for transmitting the choice to the PVR server. The configuration contains a first database in which the index of TV programs stored by the PVR in response to the selection produced by the terminal is recorded. The first database controls authorization or refusal to play back the stored programs on the terminal. A second database stores, for the first terminal, the other terminals authorized to play back the TV programs selected by the user of the first terminal or all TV programs associated therewith by the first data base index. Terminals that are not contained in the second database are not authorized. | 01-14-2010 |
20100023976 | Method and Configuration for Storing and Playing Back TV Transmissions - A method and a configuration for storing and playing back TV transmissions, in particular an improved method and configuration for operating a network PVR, include a PVR server for receiving digitally encoded TV channels. Terminals select TV transmissions to be stored and transmit the selection to the PVR server. The PVR server records the TV transmissions to be stored, wherein a small part of data items to be stored during recording is transmitted to the memory of the selecting terminal and a main part of the data items to be stored is recorded in a mass storage device coupled to the PVR server. The parts of the recording stored in the memory of the selecting terminal and in the mass storage device are combined in such a way that they can be played back through the use of the selecting terminal, either by the selecting terminal or by the PVR server. | 01-28-2010 |
20100046913 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR STORING AND PLAYING BACK TV PROGRAMMES - The invention relates to a method and arrangement for storing and playing back TV programmes, in particular to an improved method and arrangement ( | 02-25-2010 |
20100195988 | Method and Configuration for Storing and Playing Back TV Programs - A method and configuration allows storing and playing back TV programs, in particular an improved method and configuration for operating a network PVR. The novel configuration for storing and playing back TV programs includes a PVR server capable of receiving several digitally encoded TV channels, of feeding several terminals, and of recording storable TV programs. The terminals are provided with means for selecting storable TV programs and means for transmitting the choice to the PVR server. The inventive configuration also comprises means for detecting particular contents (for example, advertising) associated with received TV programs and means for identifying said contents in the recordings of said TV programs. Said identifications can be used for preventing said particular content jump during playing back the TV programs recorded on the terminal and for substituting the particular contents by updated particular contents. | 08-05-2010 |
