Abstract: Authenticating devices utilizing Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to facilitate exchange of authentication information or other data to permit or otherwise enable access to services requiring authentication credentials, certificates, tokens or other information. The authentication may utilize Digital Transmission Content Protection (DTCP) certificates, Diffie-Hellman (DH) parameters or other information available to the authenticating devices, optionally without requiring device requesting authentication to obtain an X.509 certificate.

Abstract: Service discovery and other operations related to enabling devices to announce, discover or otherwise control their services and/or the services offered or available from other devices is contemplated. The service discovery may facilitate service discovery for services sourced from devices inside and outside of a network and/or from devices having incompatible messaging capabilities.

Abstract: Administration of sessions, such as but not necessarily user interface (UI) and media sessions, is contemplated. The session administration may include transferring and/or sharing a session from one client to another without requiring an application required to process the transferred/shared session to be operational when receiving an action used to initialize session administration.

Abstract: Providing emergency alert system (EAS) alerts to IP-based devices inside and outside a home is contemplated. The EAS alerts may be provided through television signals for output on one or more televisions and simultaneously to Internet-Protocol (IP)-based devices such as tablets, game consoles, cellular phones, mobile computer, IP-STBs, televisions with IP connectivity or non-television dependent devices.

Abstract: The system for remote configuration of QoS parameters enables a service provider to remotely configure the Quality of Service parameters for each application or service offered by networked devices connected to a LAN. This is accomplished by a service provider creating and maintaining a reference repository of the Quality of Service information for each of the subscriber devices that are connected to the Local Area Network. When an application or service initiates its operation, it passes information about itself to a service provider managed server which provides the subscriber device with necessary configuration information, which may include a network address and other configuration parameters. The service provider's server identifies Quality of Service parameters for various applications or services on the subscriber device and communicates association of service identifiers with Quality of Service parameters to the subscriber device.
