Title: Automated link variant determination and protocol configuration for customer premises equipment and other network devices
Inventor: BAKER ALBERT D
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2001-01-29
Abstract: An autosensor or other communication system processing device determines which of a number of available link variants is required for a particular communication link that couples customer premises equipment (CPE) or another type of device to a network. The autosensor examines responses to messages sent over the link in order to determine one or more link variants associated therewith. The CPE or other device may then be automatically configured to support the determined link variant(s), e.g., by activation of an appropriate protocol entity in the CPE or other device. For example, CPE may be coupled to a network via an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) virtual circuit (VC) established over a digital subscriber line (DSL). In such an arrangement, multiple protocols may be encapsulated within the ATM cells, with each of the multiple protocols corresponding to a link variant. The CPE in this case may correspond to an ADSL termination unit-receive (ATU-R) device, or other type of gateway. The autosensor performs a series of tests to determine the link variant(s) for the VC, and the CPE or another network device which communicates with the CPE is then adjusted accordingly.

Title: System and method for eliminating redundant listings in an electronic program guide
Inventor: SCHOAFF PETER CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H04H20/00
Filed: 2000-03-01
Abstract: A system and method for providing merged electronic program guides with redundant listings removed. The television system receives EPG data of television programs broadcast by a plurality of program signal sources. Such signal sources may include OTA broadcast, cable, satellite, and the like.  Either the television system or a merging system separate from the television system receives EPG data including program scheduling information of television programs telecast from the various signal sources. The system further receives channel mapping information for each of the signal sources.  The channel mapping information relates television channels to television stations carried by the signal sources. The system creates a merged channel map based on the channel mapping information with any duplicate television station listings removed. Each television channel is associated with a unique channel identifier. Duplicate television station listings are therefore identified by identifying duplicate channel identifiers. Duplicate television station listings may be eliminated based on a priority associated with the various signal sources, or based on the signal quality of the various sources.
