Inventor: ROGER ALAN VINTON
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2016-07-22
Abstract: A method for remote administration and management of a terminal 101a-101c (e.g. smart TV) in a multimedia system, the method comprising receiving, at a remote management apparatus 103, a unique identification from the terminal, selecting, at the remote apparatus, a terminal operation parameter relating to the unique identification, using the terminal operation parameter to generate a profile for the terminal configured to enable or disable one or more terminal applications and/or functions, and transmitting the generated profile to the terminal. The unique identification relates to a terminal user login configured to govern the functionality of the terminal for a particular user. In this way the system is able to provide different terminal functionality for different users. The remote apparatus may override functions and/or applications executing on the terminal, or may disable the terminal by transmitting a command. The terminal may be disabled at a predetermined time. The remote apparatus may transmit data to the terminal, the data being for output/broadcast at the terminal at a predetermined time, or in response to a trigger signal. The terminal may transmit metric data to the remote apparatus representing one or more usage parameters.
