    摘要: A content selector switch selects, based on a received request for content from a particular remote control device, a multicast network on which to provide the requested particular content. Each multicast network channel of the plurality of multicast network channels is mapped to a respective video channel and each remote control device in the facility (e.g., hotel) is mapped to a respective video channel that the TV controlled by the remote control device stays tuned to. The content selector switch performs the selection by identifying which remote control device in the facility sent the request and selecting the multicast network channel that is mapped to the RF video channel the identified remote control device is mapped to. The content selector switch then provides the specific content on the selected multicast network channel to a multicast-to-channel output device that provides the content on the RF video channel for the TV tuned to that RF video channel to display.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for distributing content over a local area network (LAN) between a first device within the LAN and a second device within the LAN. A first device multicasts a LAN-specific content beacon over the LAN. The LAN-specific content beacon includes an identifier uniquely identifying the first device. A second device sends a response to the LAN-specific content beacon requesting secondary content to be integrated into a display of the second device. The first device generates the secondary content based on profile information associated with the second device and unicasts the secondary content to the second device for integration into primly content being generated for display at the second device.

    摘要: A content management resource transmits a received digital data stream in a respective network data channel to one or more subscribers. The content management resource receives an emergency notification control signal, which indicates occurrence of an emergency message. In response to receiving the emergency notification control signal, the content management resource transmits the emergency message in the digital data channel to the one or more subscribers in lieu of transmitting the received digital data stream of content in the data channel to the one or more subscriber. Thus, a subscriber can tune to a particular channel to play back selected content and be apprised, via receipt of the message over the particular channel, of a corresponding condition such as an emergency.
