Abstract: In response to an instruction to duplicate audio-video data recorded on a recording medium, duplication history information and unduplicated audio-video data that is indicated by the duplication history information are transmitted. Upon receipt of an instruction to generate duplication history information, an apparatus configured to record onto the recording medium, duplication history information indicating that the transmitted audio-video data has been duplicated, generates history information indicating that the audio-video data recorded on the recording medium has been duplicated.

Abstract: A network system includes a terminal apparatus, a recording apparatus, and a network. The recording apparatus includes a record-scheduling-state storing section that stores data of a record scheduling state of a program and a record-scheduling-state providing section that transmits the data of the record scheduling state stored in the record-scheduling-state storing section through the network.

Abstract: When recording image data inputted from a plurality of data ports and a clock port, for a data port at which the data value has not changed over a predetermined time period, the data value at that data port and a data item which indicates that this data value has continued unchanged are recorded. Furthermore, time instant information is recorded for such a data port at which the data value has ceased to change. Moreover, the value of the transfer rate of the clock signal is recorded. By doing this, the transfer rate is substantially enhanced, and it is possible to anticipate effective utilization of the storage capacity due to elimination of the recording of useless image data.

Abstract: A system and method for providing caller ID in a multi-region cable network. Caller identifying (CID) information of an incoming VoIP call is provided to a digital telephone subscriber through a video termination device (VTD) using a path that is different from the path by which the VoIP call packets are delivered to the digital telephone subscriber. The telephone number of a digital telephone subscriber is associated with the IP address and/or MAC address of the subscriber's VTD. The called number of the incoming VoIP call is used to select the VTD to which the CID information is delivered. A message is then sent through an out-of-band channel to the digital telephone subscriber's VTD comprising the CID information for display on video display equipment. Alternatively, the VTD is DOCSIS-compliant and a message is addressed to the VTD using the IP address of the VTD DOCSIS modem.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling a digital video recorder on a cable network. Signaling associated with the answering or initiation of a digital telephone call by a digital telephone subscriber is used to issue commands to a digital video recorder (DVR). A signal is generated by an MTA when the telephone is enters an “off-hook” state and sent to the DVR to initiate recording of a program being viewed by the called party. When the phone goes “on-hook”, the called party resumes watching the program from exactly where it was interrupted. The MTA may be connected directly to the VTD/DVR and the telephone state is determined by the DVR from information provided by the MTA. Alternatively, a soft switch monitors signaling from the MTA indicative of the state of the called telephone. A telephone state message comprising the telephone state information is then sent over an out-of-band channel/path to a DVR client within the VTD. The DVR client uses the telephone state information to control a DVR.

Abstract: A PC-based system for monitoring and storing representative images from video cameras may be utilized for security or other monitoring applications. Camera inputs from digital or analog sources are individually and independently digitized and displayed at a first set of image sizes, sampling rates, and frame rates, and may be stored in digital form on various recording media at a second set of image sizes, sampling rates, and frame rates, and these two sets of sizes and rates may or may not be identical. Provisions are included for adding detection or alarm systems which will automatically alter image size, sampling rate and/or frame rate of an individual input source, or activate other physical responses. In addition to security system monitoring, further applications of the invention are disclosed for process monitoring in manufacturing environments and also for applications in videoconferencing.
