Abstract: A device may receive multiple versions of content from one or more data streams associated with a content provider. The content may include audio content and/or video content. The one or more data streams may include digital rights management (DRM) protection. The device may cause the multiple versions of the content to be stored via a data structure. The data structure may be organized based on contextual information associated with the multiple versions of the content. The multiple versions of the content may be stored with the DRM protection. The device may receive a request for the content. The device may determine a particular version of the content, of the multiple versions of the content, based on the request for the content and at a determined location of the content. The device may provide the particular version of the content for playback of the audio content and/or the video content.

Abstract: A user device receives a video-on-demand (VOD) selection from a user and determines that current network streaming conditions are not adequate to provide high-quality VOD content. The user device presents an option, to the user, to delay presentation of the VOD content and receives a selection to delay presentation. Based on the selection to delay, the user device obtains the VOD content from a content delivery system and obtains encryption keys for the VOD content from a license server. In a manner transparent to the content delivery system, the user device stores the VOD content and encryption keys to create stored VOD content and stored encryption keys. The user device notifies the user that the VOD content is available to view and presents the stored VOD content using the stored encryption keys. The user device deletes the stored content and stored encryption keys per a VOD viewing policy.

Abstract: A user device may receive an identifier without prior provisioning from a server. The server may be configured to: receive, from a user device a first identifier, a first value of a second identifier, and an instruction to register the first value with the first identifier; register the first value with the first identifier based on determining that the second identifier is available for registration; receive request for subscription to receive a notification when a second user device registers with the first identifier; provide, to the user device, a list of unavailable or available second values of the second identifiers; receive, from the user device, a second instruction to register one of the available second values with the first identifier and with the user device; and receive, from the user device, a third instruction including an instruction to unregister the first value with the first identifier.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for registering similar subscriber devices in a communication network. A unique Private Identity (PRID) is generated for several user devices associated together under one user account for service through the communication network. The PRID includes a group indicator identifying the PRID's association with a group of devices subject to a common service profile, a Public Identity (PUID) string of characters that uniquely identifies the one user account, and a device identifier uniquely assigned to identify the respective device within the group under the one user account. One common PRID is generated for identifying the common service profile with respect to all of the devices of the group under the one user account. The common PRID includes the group indicator, the PUID, and a wildcard in a field of the predetermined format for a device identifier.

Abstract: Mobile telephone-based peer-to-peer sharing is disclosed. One method includes storing a content in a first mobile telephone and allowing a second mobile telephone to obtain the content from the first mobile telephone.

Abstract: A communication session support infrastructure comprises a networked packet based connection unit or gateway. The gateway includes a packet data interfacing unit for converting between protocols used by a plurality of current connecting devices in a session and a packet-based protocol so that different kinds of communication devices can connect to the session although internal session management is carried out using IP type protocols. The connection unit includes a one-to-many packet routing unit which receives packets through the interfacing unit from one of the current connecting devices in a session and routes the packets back to the interfacing unit for forwarding to each of the other current connecting devices in the session.

Abstract: A system and method for selecting a delivery mechanism for a message. A sender of a message creates a priority table of delivery devices tailored for each contact or recipient of the message. The sender configures each priority table according to a specific strategy for message delivery. Strategy A is used to send all messages to a specific recipient using a particular delivery device. Strategy B is used to send messages to a recipient based upon the time of day and day of week. Strategy C is used to send messages to a recipient based upon a prioritized list of delivery devices. Strategy D is used to send messages to a recipient in the same was as strategy C, except strategy D first tries to send a message to the same device successfully used to deliver a previous message to the recipient.
