The system and methods described herein provided storyline summaries of missed content to users timed to reduce interruptions of content. A summary application detects missed content, that comprises a plurality of storylines. The summary application also identifies a storyline of current content being generated for presentation and retrieves a storyline-specific summary of a portion of the missed content comprising the current storyline. The summary application then generates, for presentation, the retrieved storyline-specific summary.

Systems and methods for transmission of data streams

Systems and methods for real-time transmission of data streams are disclosed. A controller receives data representing selected stream parameters from a browser residing on a computing device. The controller transmits the received data to a video transmitting device. A transcoder receives a first data stream generated according to the selected stream parameters from the video transmitting device. The transcoder generates a second data stream from the first data stream, the second data stream formatted for browser display; and then transmits the second data stream to the browser. A user may remotely control the video transmitting device using the browser. A user may view data streams from multiple video transmitting devices using the browser.

METHOD OF MANAGING THE RIGHT OF ACCESS TO A DIGITAL CONTENT
20170264932 · 2017-09-14 ·

The invention relates to a method of managing access by a transfer device (CL1&CL3) to a content stored on a content server (SCNT), a transfer device being associated with an identifier, the method being characterized in that it comprises a prior stage including a device (MOB1) requesting authorization to access the content, the authorization request being accompanied by at least one identifier of a transfer device (CL1&CL3) that is authorized to access the content, followed by a step of making available access data (TK/SGN(TK)) for accessing the content, the access data including said at least one identifier (CL1&CL3), and a step of accessing the content, including: i. a step of the transfer device (CL1) obtaining access data; ii. the transfer device requesting access to the content, the request including the access data and the identifier of the transfer device originating the request; and iii. the transfer device receiving the content if the identifier of the transfer device (CL1) originating the transmission corresponds to an identifier authorized to access the content.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RETRIEVING SEGMENTED MEDIA GUIDANCE DATA
20220046314 · 2022-02-10 ·

Systems and methods are presented for reducing network traffic when retrieving media guidance data. For example, a media guidance application receives a first user selection to display a group of media asset identifiers (e.g., video-on-demand listings) and retrieves detailed information from a remote server relating to the media asset identifiers to display to a user. The media guidance application then may receive a user selection to display a second group of media asset identifiers (e.g., purchased media assets). If any of the media asset identifiers are common to both groups, then the media guidance application already obtained the detailed information and the detailed information does not need to be retransmitted in order to be displayed. Thus, the media guidance application only retrieves detailed information for media asset identifiers unique to the second group of media asset identifiers (e.g., they are only on the purchased media asset list).

Method for Broadcast Service Signaling

Systems, methods, and devices enable a receiver device to determine completeness of low level signaling (LLS) tables received via broadcast transmissions. In various embodiments, broadcast service signaling may include determining whether a received LLS table is a directory table identifying each of a complete set of LLS tables, parsing the directory table, determining whether the directory table is confirmed based at least in part on a digital signature in the directory table, determining whether a complete set of LLS tables is received based at least in part on the identification of each of the complete set of LLS tables in the directory table, and determining available services based at least in part on the complete set of LLS tables before an expiration a repetition time period after receiving the directory table.
