Multi-user personalized digital multimedia distribution methods and systems
InactiveUS20050183120A1Communication securityTelevision system detailsColor television detailsPersonalizationNetwork termination
A media distribution technique employs a multi-user server positioned at the terminal end of a broadcast media network. The server receives broadcast media signals and selectively captures a portion of the signals for live personalized media streaming and / or storage for later personalized media streaming and / or download over a local distribution network to a collection of user receivers. Request / control streams sent from the receivers to the server control real-time personalization of the media streams such as trick-play functions and channel selection. Buffering and data storage segmentation techniques are used to provide highly responsive personal video recorder-like functionality to the multiple end users.

Method and apparatus providing prepaid billing for network services using explicit service authorization in an access server
ActiveUS7720960B2Complete banking machinesAccounting/billing servicesNetwork terminationTraffic capacity
A method is disclosed for authorizing a prepaid network service in a data network. A network end station issues a request for a prepaid network service. At a network node, such as a router serving as a gateway for selecting services, a determination is made about whether a user associated with the end station is authorized to access the prepaid network service. Network traffic from the end station is forwarded to a service provider only when the user is authorized to use the prepaid network service. Specific embodiments provide message flows among a mobile station, gateway support node, router, and authentication server that support providing prepaid services in a packet-switched network for mobile communication. In certain embodiments, a connection is held open for an end station while a prepaid quota value is refreshed at a portal, thereby reducing overhead and precluding the need to repeat user logon steps. Further, unused quota amounts can be returned to the authentication server for use in association with multiple concurrent connections of the same device.

System and method for transmission-line termination by signal cancellation, and applications thereof
InactiveUS6937056B2Effective segmentationInput/output impedence modificationReliability increasing modificationsElectric power transmissionNetwork termination
An active terminating device (30) for an electrical transmission line with optional line-receiving and line-driving capabilities. The basic device is a two-terminal unit, denoted as a Signal Canceling Unit (SCU), which sensesthe signal available at its terminals (34a, 34b), and applies negative feedback in order to cancel and absorb the signal. When applied to the end of a transmission line (15a, 15b) as part of wired communication network, the SCU functions as a terminator. When connected in the middle of such wired transmission line, the SCU splits the transmission line into two separate and isolated segments. In such a configuration, the SCU can be used to isolate a portion of a network from signal degradation due to noise or bridge-tap. Furthermore, the two isolated segments may each employ independent communications, such that no interference exists between the segments. In another embodiment, line receiver functionality is integrated into the SCU, designated as a Signal Canceling and Receiving Unit (SCRU) (90). The SCRU can perform all the SCU functions, and also serves as a line receiver in the communication network. In yet another embodiment, line driver functionality is integrated into the SCRU, designated as a Signal Canceling, Receiving and Transmitting Unit (SCRTU) (120). The SCRTU can perform all the SCRU functions, and also serves as a line driver in the communication network. Upon connecting multiple SCRTU's to a continuous transmission line, terminated independent point-to-point communication segments are formed.
