  • Patent number: 10009948
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present disclosure is a method for implementing automatic binding of a first and second terminal, the first and second terminal pre-install an identical application, and the method includes: the second terminal generates a first identifier including the application information, and sends the first identifier to the second terminal; the second terminal generates a second identifier including the application information, and generates a third identifier to a cloud end server to perform backup and binding, so that the first and second terminal can perform interaction. The present disclosure also provides a system for implementing automatic binding of the first and second terminal. The present disclosure enables the first terminal to interact with the exclusively corresponding second terminal based on the application of an identical network platform.

  • Patent number: 7934234
    Abstract: In a digital television system, a receiver/decoder (or “set-top-box”) can download one or more of several applications which can be run by the receiver/decoder to provide interactivity with the user. The applications include: an Internet browser application which uses a PSTN connection to make Internet requests and the television signal path to receive Internet responses; a shopping application operable in an “impulse” mode and a “catalogue” mode; a banking application; a quiz application which runs in synchronization with a quiz television programme; a magazine browser application; and a weather or traffic application.

  • Patent number: 6857077
    Abstract: In order to restrict data access in a receiver/decoder, a plurality of sets of access rights are assigned to the data, each set of access rights being assigned to at least one party. The data, the sets of access rights and an identifier for each party are stored in a memory of the receiver/decoder. The identifier of a party requesting access to the data is compared with the or each identifier stored in the memory, and the party provided with the set of access rights assigned thereto in the memory of the receiver/decoder.

  • Patent number: 6360195
    Abstract: A digital television satellite or cable system broadcasts to receiver/decoders which also receive control information (control programs, i.e. applications) to allow such tasks as reviewing television programme listings, setting up home banking interactions, and answering quiz questions connected with programmes being transmitted. The invention provides a method of developing such control programs on a workstation 4013. The workstation is coupled to a receiver/decoder-type unit 2021 which substantially duplicates the receiver/decoder with a television set 2023 coupled thereto. Control programs are developed including control statements responsive to signals from the workstation and test statements which return signals to the workstation. The program is passed to the receiver/decoder-type unit, and a synthetic broadcast digital television signal is generated (at 4045) and fed to the receiver/decoder-type unit.
