摘要： Apparatus and methods for enhanced tuner efficiency, wherein tuner resources function to permit multiple content streams to be demultiplexed and thus made available for subsequent display. In one embodiment, Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) comprises a resource manager on which a guide application is run to control the tuning of an available tuner resource. This approach obviate reliance on OCAP or other proprietary vendor architecture applications. In another variant, the CPE is adapted to receive RF source data from a wideband tuner, or multiple tuners. The CPE may also be utilized in conjunction with other system configurations designed to enforce a security or other policies within a premises network. The CPE may also employ ‘look ahead’ capabilities to anticipate a QAM stream content before it is received.
摘要翻译：用于增强调谐器效率的装置和方法，其中调谐器资源用于允许多个内容流被解复用，从而使其可用于随后的显示。在一个实施例中，客户驻地设备（CPE）包括资源管理器，在其上运行引导应用以控制可用调谐器资源的调谐。这种方法避免依赖于OCAP或其他专有供应商架构应用程序。在另一变型中，CPE适于从宽带调谐器或多个调谐器接收RF源数据。 CPE还可以与设计用于在房屋网络内实施安全性或其他策略的其他系统配置一起使用。在接收到QAM流内容之前，CPE还可以采用“前瞻性”功能来预测QAM流内容。

摘要： Apparatus and methods for enabling protected premises networking capabilities. In one embodiment, a white list of devices authorized to access a premises network and a black list of device not authorized to access a premises network are utilized. The black and white lists may be stored at a database in communication with an authorization manager or may be stored at the manager itself. When a client device is connected to a premise, the manager determines, based on the premises and/or device identity, whether the device is entitled to access. The authorization manager makes this determination based on whether the device is on the white or black list. If the device is on neither list, the manager may add the device to the white list upon appropriate verification. The manager may also facilitate removal of a device from the white list to the black list upon request or automatically.

摘要： Apparatus and methods for premises gateway functions that integrate or unify functions typically distributed across multiple devices within a content-based network. In one embodiment, the out-of-band (OOB) signaling functionality normally provided in each of a set-top-box (STB) and digital video recorder (DVR) are unified into a common OOB (e.g., DOCSIS) capable premises gateway device, thereby obviating OOB tuners and related components from each device. In another variant, the premises gateway is adapted for all-IP operation, such as for use with IP-based computers and IP set-top boxes, etc. Fully unified variants are also disclosed, wherein the DVR and/or STB functions are physically integrated within the premises gateway.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for content, media and data delivery and access between devices of a premises and one or more portable media devices. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a media bridge between a portable media device (PMD) and a user's home network and/or home devices (e.g., set-top boxes, DVRs, etc.)). The apparatus is adapted to convert content stored on a PMD to a format capable of being rendered on a home device which may then store or playback the content. Control of the presentation is also provided by the bridging apparatus. The apparatus may also be adapted to transfer content from the home device to the PMD for storage or playback. In another embodiment, the apparatus may function within a home network having a trusted domain to provide content between a plurality devices on the network (and in the domain) and the PMD.

摘要： A DVR controller in network communication with a digital video recorder receives an instruction from a user directing the digital video recorder to perform a function among a set of available functions. The set of available functions comprises a record function operative to cause the digital video recorder to record content and store that content on the digital video recorder, and a playback function operative to cause the digital video recorder to play back content stored on the digital video recorder. Subsequently, at least in part in response to the instructions from the user, the DVR controller issues a command to the digital video recorder to perform the function. The digital video recorder is operative to present content on a presentation device controlled by the user. The DVR controller, in turn, is remotely disposed from the digital video recorder in a facility of a content provider.
摘要翻译：与数字视频记录器进行网络通信的DVR控制器接收来自用户的指令，指示数字录像机在一组可用功能中执行功能。该组可用功能包括一个记录功能，可操作以使数字录像机记录内容并将该内容存储在数字视频录像机上，以及播放功能，该播放功能可使数字录像机播放存储在数字录像机上的内容。随后，至少部分地响应于来自用户的指令，DVR控制器向数字录像机发出命令以执行该功能。数字视频记录器可操作以在由用户控制的呈现设备上呈现内容。 DVR控制器又在内容提供商的设施中从数字录像机远程处理。
