  • Patent number: 8046495
    Abstract: The Content Transform Proxy (CTP) service is an advanced Web proxy service, the basic function of which is to modify incoming HTTP requests having a server-side destination and/or outgoing HTTP responses. The CTP service is implemented by the CTP program, which resides on a host in a data communications network between an end user (the Web client) and a content server that the client is attempting to access. The HTTP request and/or an HTTP response is modified by making an HTTP request on the client side using a client web browser, processing the HTTP request on the server side using outgoing proxy rules, passing on the processed HTTP transaction to the server-side destination, returning the results of the processed HTTP request from the server-side destination, processing the HTTP response on the server side using incoming proxy rules, and returning the processed HTTP response to the client web browser on the client side.

  • Publication number: 20070044133
    Abstract: A broadband broadcasting system and method that leverages existing commercial-off-the-shelf technologies and service providers to deliver video streaming content to viewers worldwide. First an event is acquired or captured by a digital media broadcast service provider (DMBSP) as “raw” content that is transmitted to an ingest and operations center. The content can be edited prior to ingestion. The ingest and operations center encodes the content for subsequent distribution through a content delivery network, according to the infrastructure of the target network that will ultimately be used to reach end-viewers. Access to the encoded content is available to end-viewers, access is made available to computer-based end-viewers through an interactive and secure portal. The display presented to end viewers is divided into separate frames for main content (the event) and collateral content.
