A device and a method for implementing an efficient delivery of signaling data required for reception and reproduction of a content are provided. A receiver stores and holds, in a storage unit, a signaling template as a template for generating a signaling instance required for a content reception process and a content reproduction process. A transmitter transmits, to the receiver, difference information as data to be applied to the signaling template and used for generating a signaling instance. The receiver generates the signaling instance by applying the difference information received from the transmitter to the signaling template, and receives and reproduces a content with reference to the generated signaling instance.

Methods and systems are disclosed for delivering electrical signals from a cable network to a telecommunications network. The electrical signals are received from a community antenna television network and communicated via the telecommunications network. The telecommunications network may then communicate those electrical signals to end-users and to customers. Because the electrical signals may include video, music, data, and other cable content, this cable content is communicated along the telecommunications network and, thus, distributed to an end user.

A method of processing an interactive service and an apparatus thereof are disclosed. The present invention includes sending a discovery message to a second screen application running in a second device, wherein the discovery message advertises second screen support services that the first device can provide, receiving a request for descriptions of the second screen support services from the second screen application, sending a response with the descriptions to the second screen application, providing a HTTP proxy server using a HTTP proxy server service allowing the second device to access files that are received by the first device in a broadcast stream, wherein the HTTP proxy server service is one of the second screen support services, receiving the files from the broadcast stream and delivering the files to the second device via the HTTP proxy server.

Disclosed are a method and a device for providing a hypertext markup language (HTML)-based program guide service, and a recording medium therefor. The method for providing a hypertext markup language (HTML)-based program guide service in a broadcast providing device, according to the present invention, comprises the steps of: outputting a start page according to a program guide service start request of a user, wherein a container included in a resource for the start page generates a first key handler for processing a key event of the user; and outputting one or more menu pages for menu navigation according to a request of the user, wherein the start page and each of the one or more menu pages have different resource addresses, and a life cycle of the one or more menu pages is managed by the first key handler.

Methods, apparatus, systems and machine readable medium for variable video production, distribution and presentation are disclosed. An example system to generate a variable video includes a data center storing a plurality of media assets and a composer communicatively coupled to the data center over a network. The composer is to identify a first order of a first subset of the plurality of media assets for inclusion into a first variable video for a first viewer. The example system also includes a player communicatively coupled to the composer and the data center over the network. The player is to receive the first order, download the first subset of media assets, and present the first variable video.

A method and system for providing video content on a data network connected device having a display and a device display controller including a player. The method comprises the steps of a data network connected device, accesses a reference file including a plurality of player control parameter values and linking data for one or more content sources. Play control commands are provided to the player based on the play control parameter values. Content data is acquired by the player from one or more content sources via the data network using the linking data, and the content acquired from each source played on the display in accordance with the player control commands. The reference file may be a pre-existing reference file or a reference file created in response to a request to play the video content data. A reference file compiler is provided for generating the reference file.

An approach for creating a clickable link within a presentation during a live collaborative web meeting is provided. The approach identifies one or more uniform resource locators within the presentation. The approach retrieves metadata for each of the one or more uniform resource locators within the presentation. The approach presents the metadata for each of the one or more uniform resource locators with a corresponding image from the presentation. The approach creates the clickable link for each of the one or more uniform resource locators with the corresponding image.
