Abstract: A system and method for effectuating fast channel change in an adaptive streaming environment. A plurality of adjacent channels may be predicted relative to a current streaming channel engaged by a client device. Upon prioritizing the adjacent channels, the client device may be configured to pre-fetch metadata and initialization information for a subset of the prioritized adjacent channels based on bandwidth conditions, video player buffer status, etc. When a channel is changed, the client device is operative to use the pre-fetched data to quickly obtain encoded media content at a select bitrate for rendering.

Abstract: Antenna package structures are provided to implement wireless communications packages. For example, an antenna package includes multilayer package substrate, a planar antenna array, antenna feed lines, and resistive transmission lines. The planar antenna array includes an array of active antenna elements and dummy antenna elements surrounding the array of active antenna elements. Each active antenna element is coupled to a corresponding one of the antenna feed lines, and each dummy antenna element is coupled to a corresponding one of the resistive transmission lines. Each resistive transmission line extends through the multilayer package substrate and is terminated in a same metallization layer of the multilayer package substrate.

Abstract: A method and a user device are disclosed for securing streaming content decryption. The method includes receiving at the user device a manifest for requested content, the manifest providing a Content Encryption Key (CEK) that is encrypted using a first public Key Encryption Key (KEK), a corresponding first private KEK being stored in secure storage on the user device; decrypting, inside a secure processing zone on the user device, the CEK using the first private KEK to create a decrypted content key; decrypting, inside the secure processing zone, requested content using the decrypted content key to form decrypted content; and providing the decrypted content to a decoder on the mobile user device.

Abstract: Presented is a television and methods for decrypting digital data, which is encrypted using one of a plurality of different encryption techniques. A television can receive a digital content stream from a service provider. The digital stream includes the digital content, a decryption module, and metadata. A television can further extract the decryption module as instructed by the metadata from the digital content stream. A television can further decrypt the digital content with the extracted decryption module and a decryption key.

Abstract: A method of controlling delivery of video programs from video distribution equipment to video receiver devices includes receiving messages at the video distribution equipment from a mobile terminal operated by a user. The messages contain user defined identifiers that are associated with equipment identifiers of different ones of the video receiver devices. The user defined identifiers are stored associated with the equipment identifiers in a subscriber account. Delivery of video programs from the video distribution equipment to the video receiver devices is controlled in response to commands received from the mobile terminal which request delivery of identified video programs to identified ones of the user defined identifiers. Related video distribution equipment and mobile terminals are disclosed.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for controlling data usage at a customer premises. A gateway configured as a single point of entry receives all data entering the premises. A DataCap Management Unit monitors all data usage by client devices within the premises and uses either a linear regression model or a historical usage alpha-generation method to analyze data usage patterns at the premises and to predict future data usage at the premises for a current billing cycle. The DataCap Management Unit dynamically adjusts a premises bandwidth cap throughout the current billing cycle, using the predicted future data usage as an input, to smoothly keep actual total data usage for the current billing cycle from exceeding a data cap before the current billing cycle ends.

Abstract: A client device for media playback includes a user-installable media client application which implements the client-side of a digital rights management (DRM) system. The client device employs secure boot and verifies the user-installed application. The application is hardened against reverse engineering, and it utilizes a special API provided by the client device to tie into the secure boot, bridging the gap between the secure boot and the client-side of the DRM system contained within the application.

Abstract: A complexity-driven adaptive quality scheme for managing segment delivery and bandwidth allocation in an ABR network. Segments for downloading to a requesting ABR client may be selected based on encoding complexity data associated therewith, wherein a virtual segmenter may operate to represent the media segments in a memory using associated pointers. In a bandwidth management configuration using a WFQ scheduling mechanism, delivery weights may be modified based on the complexity data.

Abstract: A system and method for effectuating channel changes in a multicast adaptive bitrate (MABR) streaming network using a dedicated bandwidth pipe for burst transmitting a requested channel's data. A video management agent is configured to stitch burst-transmitted data with the regular channel stream during the channel change to generate a hybrid stream, which is multicast streamed toward the requesting device. Once the data from the regular channel stream is properly joined, burst transmission ceases and the bandwidth consumed for sending burst-transmitted data is released.
