Publication number: 20230388608Abstract: A session management involves registering at least one IPTV application in a registration table so that the registration table includes at least a respective identifier of the IPTV applications. The IPTV applications are invokable at a set top box and can be so-called embedded applications and/or browser-based applications. An event requiring the invocation of an IPTV application at the set top box is detected and triggers a look-up in the registration table. The registration table is thus used as source to indicate those IPTV applications that are potentially available and can be launched at the set top box. One of the registered applications is launched for the purpose of handling the detected event.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Mats CEDERVALL, Jan Erik LINDQUIST, Andrew MALLINSON

Patent number: 9674266Abstract: A method includes monitoring a bandwidth currently available for streaming of a segment file pertaining to the selected content asset from a server to the client. A selected content asset is registered by receiving a user-originating request identifying the selected content asset. An adequate segment quality level to be requested is selected based on the currently available bandwidth. A segment to be requested is adaptively selected contingent upon the local availability or quality level of file segments. The segment is requested from the content providing server in the specified adaptively selected adequate segment quality level. The requested segment is received in a current segment quality level corresponding to the adaptively selected adequate quality level, stored locally associated with information regarding its quality level. Received file segments pertaining to the content file are rendered in a manner as specified by a received manifest file pertaining to the content file.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2011Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Ola Andersson, Jan Erik Lindquist

Patent number: 9319731Abstract: Methods and apparatuses in a user equipment (300) and a control server (302) for enabling resumption of a paused media information stream sent in a live broadcast (3:1) of a TV program. When a user has paused (3:2) the broadcasted media in formation stream, the user equipment sends to the control server a request message (3:4) comprising an indicator of the time of pause. The control server then calculates (3:5) an offset value indicating a pause point in the media information stream where the pause occurred, based on the received indicator. The control server sends an answer message (3:6) comprising a file location address of a recorded version of the TV program and the calculated offset value, to the user equipment. The user equipment can then resume the media information stream (3:7, 3:8) from said pause point based on the received file location address and offset value. Thereby, any gap or jump in the resumed TV program due to inaccurate offset can be minimized or avoided.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2011Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventor: Jan Erik Lindquist

Patent number: 9118683Abstract: Methods and arrangements for presenting a received Instant Message comprising an IPTV Notification, e.g. a Program Reminder, and differentiating the IM comprising the IPTV Notification from other Instant Messages received from other users. The differentiation is achieved by the SCF-node (3) (Service Control Function), e.g. an IAP (IPTV Application Platform), including an IARI (IPTV Application Reference Identifier) in an Instant Message comprising an IPTV Notification. The IARI identifies an IPTV Application of the SCF (Service Control Function), and indicates to a UE (1) at the receiving side that the Instant Message comprises IPTV information for presenting an IPTV Notification.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2010Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventor: Jan Erik Lindquist

Publication number: 20150026711Abstract: Accordingly, there is provided a client device for receiving video content from a server, the client device comprising a processor. The processor is arranged to determine if a particular clip has been played. If it is determined that the client has played the particular clip, the processor is arranged to increase the quality of a video content that is played. By determining if a particular clip has been played before increasing the quality of video content that is played, a user of the client device is encouraged to watch the particular clip before watching the video content.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2012Publication date: January 22, 2015Applicant: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L M ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Ola Andersson, Jan Erik Lindquist
