  • Method to control the access to conditional access audio/video content
    Patent number: 8336106
    Abstract: The present invention aims at solving the financial revenue loss due to the presence of digital video recorders that allow skipping the commercial breaks.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 6, 2008
    Date of Patent: December 18, 2012
    Assignee: Nagravision S.A.
    Inventors: Corinne Le Buhan, Holger Ippach, Laura Fullton, Ivan Verbesselt
  • Network status reporting method and a communications network
    Patent number: 7508765
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a network status reporting method, for reporting in a communications network a network status to a data source with an adaptive transmission rate. The data sink reports the network status to the data source in order to enable the data source to adapt the transmission rate based on the network status. The communications network further contains at least one intermediate network node, and a data sink. Only the data sink reports to the data source on a status of the communications network in its neighborhood, and no intermediate network node reports to the data source on said network status of the communications network.

  • Signalling between ATM and local area networks
    Publication number: 20040179530
    Abstract: A method is described for setting up or releasing a connection between a first terminal connected to a local area network and a second terminal connected to an ATM network, both networks being intercoupled by means of a network termination apparatus. The signalling functionality is performed within a predetermined terminal connected to the local area network in stead of within the network termination apparatus, which merely converts and transfers the ATM signalling protocol messages into LAN messages for delivery to the predetermined terminal and vice-versa. The invention also relates to such a predetermined terminal, a network termination apparatus and a terminal to be connected to a local area network, for performing the above described methods and some variants.
