Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer usable program product for transmitting intercepted VOIP data are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A VOIP call is intercepted in response to a lawful request for intercept by a law enforcement agency. VOIP data associated with the intercepted VOIP call is encrypted. The encryption may use a virtual private network an encryption using a key of a specific length, bit stuffing, or other encryption methods. The encrypted VOIP data is transmitted to the law enforcement agency using a public data network either during the VOIP call or after the VOIP call. The intercept request may be made during the VOIP call, or before the VOIP call. Furthermore, the VOIP data of the VOIP call may be stored before transmitting to the law enforcement agency, and archived based on archiving rules. The request for the intercept may be queued for processing according to queuing rules.

Abstract: A system and method for delivering video content over a network in communication with a subscriber having an associated electronic device is disclosed. A network server is provided and is configured to transmit a plurality of multicast streams of video content over the network. A scheduled start time for the transmission of a first stream of the multicast streams is assigned. A request for the video content is received at a first time, which is after said scheduled start time and the request is the first request for the video content received by the network server after the scheduled start time. The first stream is transmitted over the network only after the request.

Abstract: A system and method for enabling television watchers to “channel surf” faster and reduce the amount of bandwidth used over a network to communicate television channels to end-users. Electronic programming guide information and images associated therewith may be communicated to an end-user. An image associated with a video program may be displayed on an electronic display (e.g., television) in response to an end-user selecting a channel prior to video programming being displayed. By displaying an image prior to the video programming, the end-user may determine whether he or she wants to watch the video program prior to the video programming being displayed, which improves the speed of “channel surfing.” Because end-users can view the image when selecting a channel, a network can be configured to distribute the channels that are currently being watched rather than distributing many on a continuous basis, thereby preserving bandwidth.

Abstract: A method for providing multiple uses of printer coversheets comprises providing a printer having a dedicated coversheet tray, a document sheet tray, and a scanning device, and receiving a print command from a user with an associated username. The method includes drawing a coversheet from the dedicated coversheet tray to be positioned adjacent the printed file, the coversheet having a plurality of predetermined username positions and a corresponding plurality of predetermined barcode positions. The method further includes performing a barcode scan of the coversheet, determining at which username position to print the username based on the results of the barcode scan, and printing the username at the next-available username position. The method also includes printing a barcode on the coversheet at the one of the barcode positions which corresponds to the username position at which the username is printed.
