Publication number: 20110110642Abstract: A storage device 500 includes an input 405 for receiving a digital video stream complying with a predetermined video encoding standard via a digital video communication system. The stream includes a sequence of digital video frames, a sequence of program clock reference stamps (PCR) and a sequence of video presentation time stamps (PTS). A time-base modifier 510 replaces the PTS's by respective modified video presentation time stamps (M-PTS) based on a constant predetermined frame time between successive presentation time stamps and replaces the PCR's by respective modified program clock reference stamps (M-PCR) by scaling the PCR's using a scaling factor that depends on a ratio of an expected time between a video presentation time stamp j and a preceding video presentation time stamp j-n and an actual time between the video presentation time stamp j and the preceding video presentation time stamp j-n, where j?n>0. The expected time is n times the predetermined frame time.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2011Publication date: May 12, 2011Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Eduard Willem Salomons, Albert Maria Arnold Rijckaert

Publication number: 20090022477Abstract: A method and device for making pre-scheduled recordings of broadcasted content in a recording device, comprising receiving (step S2) a scheduled recording request with a privacy setting from an authenticated user, determining (step S3) that said requested scheduled recording conflicts with a previously scheduled recording, communicating (step S5) a request to a remote receiver to record content according to the scheduled recording that is found to be in conflict with previously scheduled recordings, receiving (step S6) said recorded content from said remote receiver, storing said recorded content, and controlling access to the stored content based on said privacy setting. According to the invention, a network of recording devices are used to avoid conflicts. Instead of dealing with increased security and privacy of recording schedules when a conflict arises on a device, the present invention aims at making more recording resources available, thus reducing the risk for a conflict.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2007Publication date: January 22, 2009Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N,V,Inventors: Milan Petkovic, Hong Li, Albert Maria Arnold Rijckaert

Publication number: 20080260351Abstract: An apparatus for recording a signal having a signal content, where the apparatus comprises a receiver for receiving the signal, a processor configured to determine rights to the signal content received with the received signal, and a recorder for recording the received signal and a signal representing the determined rights to the signal content, wherein the processor is configured to give, to right holders, individual rights to the content respecting the determined rights to the content. A user who receives the signal can give individual rights to right holders respecting the rights to the content. The given rights comprise full rights and restricted rights such as owner rights corresponding to the rights to the content received with the received signal, and user rights that allow the right holder to use, such as view, the signal content. Use of the individual rights requires a corresponding individual key.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2006Publication date: October 23, 2008Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS, N.V.Inventors: Hong Li, Albert Maria Arnold Rijckaert, Milan Petkovic

Publication number: 20080167994Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device of enabling inheritance of a digital content item. There is provided a method and a device by which inheritance of a digital content item is enabled by means of acquiring an inheritance license for an encrypted digital content item. The inheritance license specifies operations that are allowed to be performed on the content item after the death of its proprietor. Further, a death certificate of the proprietor of the encrypted content item is accessed, wherein authorization is given to perform at least a subset of the operations specified in the inheritance license on the encrypted content item.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2006Publication date: July 10, 2008Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS, N.V.Inventors: Hong Li, Milan Petkovic, Eric Wilhelmus Josephus Moors, Albert Maria Arnold Rijckaert, Roland Peter Jan Mathijs Manders
