Publication number: 20150095967Abstract: A method for playing back a program which includes one or more interactive applications. A program which is stored, either in the form of a data stream or as a set of files is played back from a storage device. When playback is started, applications which are detected are launched. Applications are detected in the playback of pushed content when they become available in the playback stream. Applications are detected in the playback of pulled content by comparing the validity ranges of the applications to a current playback index. When special playback modes are used, signals which affect the lifecycle of an application are detected and corresponding signals are generated to maintain the proper state of the application. During these special playback modes, these various notification signals may be conveyed to applications which are configured to operate during these modes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2014Publication date: April 2, 2015Inventors: Ludovic Pierre, Vincent Dureau, Alain Delpuch

Publication number: 20140372804Abstract: A system and method for remote maintenance of user units allows efficient diagnosis of failures in a reduced time. Each user unit transmits to a management server, via a network, state data related to hardware and software parameters associated to an operating mode of the user unit. The method includes: storing state data in a user unit memory, monitoring state data stored in the memory, and detecting at least one datum of a state indicating an operational failure of the user unit. When a failure is detected, state data corresponding to current states of the user unit at the moment of the failure and state data corresponding to states stored during a predetermined period before the failure are extracted and transmitted to the management server which determines a statistic correlation coefficient between the values of each state of a user unit and the values of states of other user units.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2014Publication date: December 18, 2014Inventor: Alain DELPUCH

Publication number: 20140259181Abstract: A physical device, the possession of which may provide access to digital media content in a fashion similar to the possession of a DVD providing access to the media content stored thereupon on a suitable DVD player. The possession of the physical device grants access to digital content stored on a remote server using a suitable device such as e.g., a set-top box or media player having Internet connectivity. The physical device provides for convenient and possibly anonymous access to content stored on a remote server and has certain advantages over known techniques for storing rights to access the content.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2014Publication date: September 11, 2014Applicant: NAGRAVISIONS S.A.Inventors: Bertrand WENDLING, Henri KUDELSKI, Pierre SARDA, Alain DELPUCH

Patent number: 8763026Abstract: The present invention concerns a system (10) and a process for authenticating a PIN code of a user in an interactive information system in order to run an application. It comprises input means (15) for PIN code entry, security manager means (13) for comparing the PIN code of the user upon a request for user authentication from the application, with a registered PIN code, and giving authorization to run said application if the PIN code of the user matches with the registered PIN code, and display means (17) for displaying any graphics including a PIN entry field. The request for user authentication is provided on the display means via the Pin entry field with the look and feel of said application. The system further comprises emitting means for entering crypted digits, the security manager means (13) being arranged to give authorization to run the application after full entry of said crypted digits and if the PIN code of the user is identical to the registered PIN code.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2011Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: OpenTV, Inc.Inventor: Alain Delpuch

Patent number: 8201208Abstract: A broadcaster generates programming content and a carousel containing chunks of data defining one or more interactive applications. The programming content and carousel are received by a local gateway which distributes the carousel and content to receivers at end-users via a distribution network. A carousel proxy in the local gateway receives the inbound carousel from the broadcaster and modifies it to produce an outbound carousel suited for the distribution network, receivers, and/or end-users. The modifications performed by the carousel proxy include filtering chunks and/or data within the chunks from the inbound carousel and transforming data within the chunks to customize the interactive applications for the distribution network, receivers, and/or end-users. The carousel proxy also caches chunks in a cache of a local data store. The carousel proxy uses the cached chunks to send the outbound carousel at a rate optimized for the bandwidth available on the distribution network.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2003Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: OpenTV, Inc.Inventors: Alain Delpuch, Bryan Gebhardt, Houman Azarm, Steven Berriatua
