  • Patent number: 8707378
    Abstract: A method performed by a video provisioning system may include receiving metadata associated with a video asset; storing the metadata in a catalog of video assets available through the video provisioning system; publishing information from the stored metadata to a first device associated with a video assets store front for set top boxes; and publishing information from the stored metadata to a second device associated with a video assets store front for devices other than set top boxes. A method may further include registering a user device with a user profile; identifying a media manager application for the user device that is configured to play video assets available via the video provisioning system on the user device; providing the media manager application to the user device; and synchronizing settings associated with the media manager application with settings associated with another user device registered with the user profile.

  • Patent number: 8627432
    Abstract: A method, performed by a video provisioning system, may include receiving a request for a first digital rights management (DRM) token, associated with a video asset purchased via the video provisioning system, from a browser application associated with a user device and providing the first DRM token to the browser application. The method may further include receiving a license authorization request to issue a DRM license for the video asset, where the license authorization request is received from a license server, where the DRM license is to be used by the user device to decrypt the video asset, and where the license authorization request includes a second DRM token; determining whether the second DRM token matches the first DRM token; and authorizing the license server to issue the DRM license for the video asset, when the second DRM token matches the first DRM token.

The video provisioning system may process the video asset to allow the video asset to be provided to a set top box and another device that is a different type of device than the set top box. The video provisioning system may further provide the video asset to the set top box and the other device.
