  • Patent number: 11892548
    Abstract: A pay television satellite broadcast includes validation data that can be used to validate authenticity of live global positioning system (GPS) data. The validation data may be included within entitlement messages and encrypted for security and selective reception by authorized receivers. A navigation system may compute checksums of received live GPS data and compare with the validation data for a match. A decision about whether or not to use the live GPS data may be taken based on whether or not the computed checksums match the validation data received via the pay television satellite broadcast signals.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11039189
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the domain of control of access to audiovisual content transmitted to a receiver, in particular control based on the localization of the receiver. This invention proposes a method of control of access to content transmitted to a receiver, said receiver being part of an access geographic control system comprising verification means and security means, the method comprising the following steps: acquisition of a current localization by a portable device, transfer of the current localization to the verification means, extraction, in a memory of the verification means, of a localization data set defining at least one area, verification, by the verification means, that the current localization is included in said area, and if so, transmission of an authorization message for the reception of the audiovisual content to the security means relative to the receiver.
