    摘要： A server resource provides notification to subscribers in a respective network environment that the content is available for retrieval at a particular bit rate (e.g., a promotional bit rate) or particular level of quality (e.g., promotional level of quality) amongst multiple levels of quality for a limited duration of time. For example, an especially high level of quality (or bit rate) of the content may be available only for the limited duration of time. After making the especially high level of quality of content available for retrieval during a promotional period, the content may be subsequently available for retrieval only at lower levels of quality. Accordingly, one or more configurations as discussed herein include changing the ability to access content encoded at different levels of quality over time.

    摘要： Methods and apparatus for providing alternate content in a network, such as in the instance where content is restricted. In one embodiment, a server within the network assigns a location identifier to a plurality of client devices and associates the identifier to a location value. The location value is used to register a certain set of the client devices to a given service area. The server in one variant creates one or more lists associating the client devices to location values, and location values to primary and alternate content. The information is published and accessible to other network components. The server receives a request for content from the client device and either references the list or communicates with another server to determine appropriate content to send. Based on the determination, the server transmits the appropriate content to the requesting device.

    摘要翻译： 在网络中提供备用内容的方法和装置，例如在内容被限制的情况下。 在一个实施例中，网络内的服务器将位置标识符分配给多个客户端设备，并将该标识符与位置值相关联。 位置值用于将某一组客户端设备注册到给定的服务区域。 一个变体中的服务器创建一个或多个将客户端设备与位置值相关联的列表，以及将位置值与主要和替代内容相关联。 信息被发布并可被其他网络组件访问。 服务器从客户端设备收到对内容的请求，并且引用列表或与其他服务器进行通信，以确定要发送的适当内容。 基于该确定，服务器将适当的内容发送到请求设备。
