Title: Method and apparatus for secure transfer of previously broadcasted content
Inventor: VAN STAM WIJNAND
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2005-11-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for secure transfer of previously broadcasted content enables the secure transfer of previously broadcasted content between DVRs on a computer network: A DVR user is presented with a user interface for requesting the previously broadcasted content. The service provider vatidates the request by inspecting data associated with the user to determine if the user should be allowed to retrieve the previonsly broadcasted content . The service provider indentifies one or more DVRs on a computer network that currently have the previously broadcasted content and filters them according to a number of factors, including bandwidth, to create a pool of DVRs.The service provider initiates the transfer by either requesting each DVR in the pool to begin transfering the previously broadcasted content to the requesting DVR, or by directly requesting the DVR to retrieve the content from the pool of DVRs.

Title: Device transfer of a server stored data based on item id and determined nature of intended destination
Inventor: WISEBOURT SHAUL S
IPC: H04L29/02
Filed: 2007-06-19
Abstract: There is provided a method and system for communicating data items about a communication network. An original data item for communicating to a destination device is cached to a network data store in association with unique ID (UID) generated to identify the original data item. The UID is then sent as a prox y for the original data item to the destination device. The original data item may be processed (e.g. in response to a type of the destination device) to create a processed data item and the processed data item sent in place of the origina l data item. The processed data item may also be cached in association with the UID , for example, for reuse to eliminate duplicate processing. The destination device is adapted to return the UID when further communicating the original data item thereby to reduce communication of the original data item about the communication network.
