Abstract: In some embodiments, a method detects an issue with broadcast tuning parameters for broadcast channels being broadcast by a broadcast system. A message is received including a set of switched digital video tuning parameters for switched digital video channels from a switched digital video system where the broadcast tuning parameters are included in the message. The method retrieves at least a portion of the broadcast tuning parameters that are received via the switched digital video system and uses the at least a portion of the broadcast tuning parameters received in the message to request a broadcast channel from the broadcast system.

Abstract: A multi-modal portal system provides an authorization prior to establishing a visual interface connection between a support user or caller and a client user or receiving party. Once the caller is authorized, the caller is permitted to drop-in such that a visual interface connection is established with the receiving party. The authorization can be based on a profile configuration that indicates whether the caller has the credentials required for the visual interface. The authorization can require that a notification be sent to a trusted user or primary contact or the caller can be associated with a profile configuration that allows for a pre-authorization without requiring the notification. Also, a schedule associated with the profile configuration can ensure a video notification of one or more scheduling parameters to the client user as well as the receipt of a video response from the client user.

Abstract: An enhanced network environment is provided by provisioning a device to utilize the 6 GHz frequency band. The device requires provisioning so as not to interfere with legacy systems. The provisioning includes obtaining exterior multiple fixed power measurements to obtain a virtualized location and a virtualized power level. The elevation is then modified based on an actual height from ground level of the device. The location of the device and a virtualized equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) can then be sent to an automated frequency controller (AFC) resource to obtain an EIRP mask that can be used to provision the device so that the device can operate in the 6 GHz frequency band without causing interference with any other systems. Once provisioned, the device can be registered with the AFC resource.

Abstract: An electronic device for processing real-time-streaming-protocol (RTSP) packets in a network to provide enhanced video-on-demand (VOD) services is provided. The electronic device includes a user interface, a non-transitory memory configured to store instructions including an application layer gateway (ALG) module and network service software, and a hardware processor. The hardware processor is configured to execute the instructions to store a list of mac-bridge clients that includes a MAC address and a MAC mask corresponding to each mac-bridge client, and determine whether at least one of the source and destination MAC address of a received RTSP packet is on the list. When at least one of the source and destination MAC address is on the list, the RTSP packet is processed using the network service software and a next RTSP packet is received; otherwise, the received RTSP packet is processed using the ALG module.

Abstract: A method for modifying a video stream for display includes receiving a request to display a video stream in a display mode that facilitates viewing by visually impaired viewers. An unmodified region of interest (ROI) is identified in a current video frame of the video stream. A location of the unmodified ROI is tracked in each of the subsequent video frames. The unmodified ROI is magnified by a prescribed amount in at least some of the video frames in which the unmodified ROI is being tracked to produce a magnified ROI. For each of the video frames in which the unmodified ROI is being tracked and magnified, the magnified ROI is combined with at least a portion of the video frame in which the ROI is located to thereby produce a modified video stream.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable recording media for a user account secure with a single sign on (SSO) password hidden authentication. Receiving credential information (CI) and generating the SSO password through at least one client device (CD). Encrypting the SSO password. Storing the SSO password in the CD and an electronic device (ED). Transmit the SSO password and encrypted SSO password to a cloud services platform (CSP), where the CSP stores both. Storing the SSO password in a cloud server (CS). Accessing the user account, if SSO password is unavailable, through the CSP transmitting a one time passcode to a user email, the CD setting a temporary password transferred to the CSP. The CSP confirming a match and transmitting the encrypted SSO password to the CD, the CD decrypting the encrypted SSO password and resetting the temporary password to the SSO password.

Abstract: The customer premises equipment apparatus includes a communication component, a determining component and a filtering component. The communication component pulls a first chunk of headend guide data from a headend guide data provider using HTTP streaming. The first chunk of headend guide data contains a plurality of frames, some of which may be filler frames. The determining component determines whether at least one of the frames within the first chunk of headend guide data includes filler frames. The filtering component removes the frames that correspond to filler frames.
