  • Patent number: 8553723
    Abstract: According to a first aspect, the invention proposes a method for processing a transport stream (TS) received as an input transport stream in a processing device (SDR), the transport stream comprising a plurality of elementary streams (ES), each elementary stream (ES) being a set of transport stream packets having the same Packet IDentifier (PID), at least one of these elementary streams being time-sliced so as to be sent in bursts, timing information indicating within a burst the time to the beginning of the next burst, characterized in that it comprises the steps of: applying a filtering operation to the input transport stream so as to filter out from the input transport stream part or all of one or more time-sliced elementary streams; modifying the bursts scheduling of the input transport stream so as to generate a DVB-H compliant output transport stream from the filtered input transport stream.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5996017
    Abstract: A method for information exchange in the customer/server mode between stations connected by a communication network is described. An emulated server (SEM) is provided at at least certain stations. The emulated server is appropriate for dialog according to a communication protocol to process requests for consulting resource files at a coupler between a station and the network. An interception mechanism (INT) is used to intercept the requests for consulting the resource files by redirecting them to the local emulated server. The emulated server is used either as a cache memory to reduce traffic or as a switch to mitigate and remedy a breakdown of the server.
