A method is proposed of provisioning connectivity service data for a device when the device attaches to a telecommunications network. The connectivity service data comprises information required to enable connectivity between the device and at least one further device of the network. Dynamic data relating to the device is obtained as part of one of the device attaching to the telecommunications network and a previous attachment of the device to the network. The dynamic data is of a type that may change from one such attachment to another such attachment of the same device. The connectivity service data is then selected based on the obtained dynamic data. It is then arranged for the selected connectivity service data to be provisioned to the device.

Provided are an apparatus and a method for processing conditional access system (CAS)-based content. A method of operating a broadcast receiving apparatus includes: receiving a broadcast stream that includes content encrypted based on a CAS; extracting, from the received broadcast stream, CAS information for decrypting the encrypted content; receiving an entitlement control message (ECM) having a preset format based on the CAS information generated in a different format for each broadcasting business operator; and displaying the content decrypted based on the ECM.

Methods and systems of managing user uploaded content are shown and disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving uploaded content from a first user device, and storing the received content in storage associated with a network-based digital video recorder (nDVR). The method additionally includes receiving a request for playback of the stored content from a set top box or a second user device, and delivering the stored content to the set top box or the second user device. The method further includes delivering an emergency notification with the stored content to the set top box or the second user device.

The present invention relates to a signal processing device and an image display device including same. The signal processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a streaming data processing unit for receiving streaming data, generating list information including information related to a plurality of first unit of data, on the basis of the received streaming data, and outputting the generated list information; and a decoder for receiving the list information and decoding the plurality of data of the first unit, on the basis of the list information, wherein the streaming data processing unit outputs data decoded by the decoder. Accordingly, the number of inter process communications can be reduced during signal processing of streaming data.

Methods and systems are described for setting up, in one embodiment, a generic streaming media device as a set-top box for a multichannel content provider that provides a content delivery service. The set up process can be performed automatically and as background operations while a user manually sets up the device, in foreground operations, for use with an online streaming media store or source of content. The set up process can use a device token that was previously associated with the multichannel content provider for use with the device during the set up process. The device token can be stored by the developer of the device and sent by the developer to the multichannel content provider during a set up process of the device; the device token can be opaque to the developer but provides information used by the multichannel content provider to set up the device as a set top box.

The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for controlling play of a TV set, a control terminal and a storage medium, and discloses that a fire safety escape route is played on the TV set when a user stays at a hotel for the first time and information of related service scenes of the hotel is shown at the same time, thereby improving the safety awareness of the user, enabling the user to conveniently use the related service of the hotel and bringing convenience to the user.

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for live streaming. The method includes: collecting, by a first terminal, live streaming audio data and first live streaming image data in a live streaming process; sending, by the first terminal, the live streaming audio data and the first live streaming image data to a server, and sending, by the first terminal, a first device identifier of the first terminal to the server; sending, by the first terminal, the live streaming audio data to a second terminal; collecting, by the second terminal, second live streaming image data; and sending, by the second terminal, the second live streaming image data and the live streaming audio data to the server, and sending, by the second terminal, a second device identifier of the second terminal to the server.

Provided is a method of registering a code set of a control target device using a set top box, the method including receiving a manual setting start request message, which is a message requesting a start of manual setting, from the set top box; selecting one of at least two manufacturers displayed on the control target device and providing information on the selected manufacturer to the set top box; providing a total index corresponding to the selected manufacturer requested by the set top box to the set top box; checking whether the control target device is remotely controlled by transmitting a control code constituting a code set corresponding to an index displayed on the control target device to the control target device; and registering the code set as a code set for remotely controlling the control target device when the control target device is remotely controlled.

A method and apparatus for creation, distribution, assembly and verification of media, including one embodiment, media is transmitted to a receiver where the receiver assembles the media into programming. In another embodiment, media is transmitted to the receiver from a plurality of sources. In a further embodiment, a source of media performs a tagging operation to associate sets of tags with elements of the stream of media. In various embodiments, different combinations of look-and-feel, content and other tags are associated with the media stream. In an additional embodiment, tagging of the media stream is performed at the receiver. A user at the receiver may also provide data about the user to the receiver. In yet another embodiment, the receiver uses the tags to assemble the media into a program. In still further embodiments of the invention, various Royalty Only Aggregate Revenues or “ROAR” models and apparatus are disclosed.

Provided are an apparatus and a method for processing conditional access system (CAS)-based content. A method of operating a broadcast receiving apparatus includes: receiving a broadcast stream that includes content encrypted based on a CAS; extracting, from the received broadcast stream, CAS information for decrypting the encrypted content; receiving an entitlement control message (ECM) having a preset format based on the CAS information generated in a different format for each broadcasting business operator; and displaying the content decrypted based on the ECM.
