Embodiment Construction

[0039] according to figure 1 With the illustrated embodiment of the multimedia receiver 30, the viewer may decide during playback of a selected VOD resource to switch to a broadcast channel that provides DVB-type media content in a unidirectional manner via the broadcast channel input 1, for example via satellite , terrestrial broadcast transmitter, cable, data content received in the form of a data stream provided by a wired or wireless network performing streaming using multicast or unicast such as IP (Internet Protocol).

[0040] The broadcast channel input 1 may be different from the VOD resource input 2 whereby the VOD resource is received by the receiving device 10 via the conditional access module 20 . Channel switching is often referred to as zapping. In the receiving device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the concept of station hopping may include stopping the injection of VOD resources and switching to a channel for receiving another media c...

Abstract

A multimedia receiver and a method for managing switching reception of a first media content stream to a second media content stream. The multimedia receiver comprises a receiving device associated with a conditional access module and a media player configured to playback content from the first media content stream or the second media content stream. The receiving device is configured to receive a user command during playback of the first media content stream and to forward the user command to the conditional access module, the user command comprising at least one parameter defining reception of the second media content stream. The conditional access module is configured to update, following reception of the user command, at least one descriptor in an information table associated with the first media content stream. The receiving device detects the information table update, generates an updated information table based on the at least one descriptor and forwards the updated information table to the conditional access module. The reception of the first media content stream is stopped and reception is switched to the second media content stream defined by the at least one parameter of the user command.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the reception and playback of on-demand delivery or broadcast media content from a headend or cloud. In particular, a method and a multimedia receiver for managing switching from receiving a first media content stream to receiving a second media content stream are disclosed. Background technique [0002] Televisions, set-top boxes, personal computers, tablet computers, etc. are known devices on which media content can be received, and in some cases played back or presented. In the field of over-the-top transport (OTT) content delivery, video, audio, and other media content may be delivered to media recipients over, for example, the Internet. [0003] The prior art includes systems comprising a television for receiving broadcast content, the television having an OTT device connected thereto, which can be used to receive, possibly wirelessly, video-on-demand (VOD) from, for example, Internet cloud services ( V...
