Abstract:
A method of provisioning entitlement including: receiving within a headend and at a policy management module first conditions and rules for content from a service provider or a third party device; and generating, for a point of presence (POP) device of a customer, a policy for entitlement and usage of content (merged policy). The generating of the merged policy includes: merging conditions and rules of policies including the first conditions and rules to generate the merged policy based on a predetermined hierarchy of the policies. Rules and conditions of the merged policy are multi-dimensional to include customer, POP device, and provider dimensions; and generating a configuration file including conditions or condition based parameters. The method further includes: presenting an offer for the content to the customer via the POP device; receiving an acceptance of the offer from the POP device; and enforcing the merged policy according to the configuration file.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of provisioning multi-dimensional rule based entitlement, the method comprising:\n storing, within a headend, a plurality of conditions and rules for content; merging at least some of the plurality of conditions and rules to generate a plurality of policies for entitlement and usage of content for a customer device based on a predetermined hierarchy of the plurality of policies, wherein rules and conditions of the policy for entitlement and usage of content are multi-dimensional to include a customer dimension, a customer device dimension, and a provider dimension; generating, within the headend, a configuration file including the plurality of conditions or condition based parameters for the policies for entitlement and usage; updating the configuration file in response to a change in the conditions or rules; communicating an offer for the content from the headend to the customer device; communicating an acceptance signal indicating acceptance of the offer from the customer device to the headend; receiving the acceptance signal at the headend from the customer device; enforcing, at the headend, the policies for entitlement and usage of content according to the configuration file by determining whether the rules and conditions of the policies for entitlement by the customer and customer device have been met; and thereafter, based on enforcing, enabling access to content.
