Examples provided herein are directed to a computing device and media playback system sharing access to a media service corresponding to a media application installed on the computing device. In one example, a media playback system may be configured to (i) receive from the computing device an authorization code that corresponds to a media application installed on the computing device that is authorized to access media from a media service, (ii) transmit to the media service an authorization request with the authorization code, (iii) receive from the media service an authorization token that facilitates obtaining media from the media service, and (iv) transmit to the media service a request for media for playback by the media playback system, where the request for media includes the authorization token.

The present invention allows the combination and adaptation of a broadcast data reception system with a Conditional Access System which may be embedded in the receiving device, such as a television, or can be provided as a module which is connected to the receiving device and which allows service provider controlled, typically cloud based, interactivity via the same CAS with different Multi Channel video programming distributors (MVPD) service providers.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for real-time enablement of over-the-top media service applications. An embodiment operates by receiving a device identifier from a customer device including a disabled third-party over-the-top (OTT) application, determining a verification status of the customer device based on the device identifier, determining a customer identifier associated with the customer device, and determining an entitlement status based on the customer identifier. The embodiment further operates by assigning a vendor-issued identifier to the customer identifier, generating a third-party token based on the verification status and the entitlement status, and sending the third-party token to the customer device and a third-party service associated with the disabled third-party OTT application. In some embodiments, the customer device and the third-party service may perform a handshake using the third-party token to enable the disabled OTT third-party application on the customer device.

Disclosed are a method of performing video call and a display device. The display device includes: a camera; a display, configured to present a window for a counterpart and/or a local window; and a processor, configured to: receive a push message sent from a server, wherein the push message is sent after the server receives a video call request sent from the mobile terminal; automatically establish a call process, and control the display to present the window for the counterpart and not to present the local window in response to the push message when the mobile terminal is authorized by the display device; and reject the video call request in response to the push message when the mobile terminal is not authorized by the display device.

A method for providing a broadcast service is provided. The method includes transmitting a user datagram protocol (UDP)/internet protocol (IP) packet including a first message, the first message containing information about a message to be signed and transmitted, and transmitting a moving picture experts group (MPEG) media transport protocol (MMTP) packet including a second message, the second message containing information about the broadcast service and information indicating whether the information about the broadcast service is signed. The first message includes an identifier of a key used to verify a signature of the message to be transmitted and signed and an identifier of a hash algorithm used to calculate a hash value of the message to be transmitted and signed.

A method, apparatus, article of manufacture, and a memory structure for securely providing data for use by a hardware device of a receiver. The method utilizes a product provisioning key (PPV) held secure from other entities that can be unlocked and used with a secret value securely and unchangeably stored in the hardware device.

Described herein are systems and methods for hardware enforcement of hardware functionality in a television receiver. An activation message containing an activation code for a specific hardware component within the television receiver can be transmitted from a television service provider system to a television receiver having an associated smart card. The smart card can decrypt the activation message, security check the activation message, confirm the activation message is intended for the television receiver, encrypt the activation message with a local key, and transmit the activation message to a security processor on the television receiver. The security processor can decrypt the activation message, security check the activation message to ensure it is from the smart card and has not been tampered with, and enable the hardware component within the television receiver based on the activation code within the activation message.

An embodiment of the invention provides a method for a secure connected digital media platform where a request is received to create a secure partition for accessing a content provider in a digital media device. A security code is received from the content provider. A hypervisor is invoked at the digital media device, where at least part of the hypervisor is comprised of a hardware circuit. The hypervisor compares the received security code with a key value that is burned into a memory unit at the hardware circuit to determine if the security code is from an authorized content provider. If the content provider is determined to be authorized, a secure partition is created at the digital media device. The creation of the secure partition includes creating a memory partition that corresponds to the secure partition in a non-volatile memory at the digital media device.

A system for securely providing streaming media content on-demand may include a plurality of receiving devices in which each receiving device may request the same or different streaming media content (e.g., stored at a content storage system of a content delivery network) on-demand using VOD or other available on-demand services and/or applications associated with, in communication with or running on the respective receiving devices. In response, the content storage system of the content delivery network will encrypt the requested content uniquely for each received request (e.g., according to an encryption key that is unique for each or virtually each request) and deliver the encrypted requested content to the appropriate respective receiving device of the receiving devices. The respective receiving devices will then each decrypt the streaming content as it is being received according to the corresponding decryption key communicated from a respective individual secure remote to the respective receiving device.
