Definitions
- Each of the client personal computers 16 includes software that interfaces to the network operations center 13 and the content providers 1 1.
- the software is used to browse the Internet 12. send requests for data, control data download sessions, schedule delivery of data, and download streaming audio, video and data to the client personal computers 16in real time, for example.
- Fig. 3 illustrates ad-hoc service channel management implemented in the ad-hoc file delivery service 30 provided by the present invention.
- Fig. 3 shows multiple conditional access (CA) channels 41 serving the service queue 33.
- the service queue 33 detects that a file 52 has arrived that requires ⁇ 2 hour ad-hoc delivery. This is considered a first priority and is placed at the bottom of a Priority 1 queue 34 ( ⁇ 2 hour ad-hoc delivery) as shown in Fig. 3. If no other Priority 1 files 52 are ahead of it, the service queue 33 looks for an available channel 41. If one is available, a multicast session 42 is opened on that channel 41 and the file 52 is broadcast using a multicast server 27 and a broadcast queue 36.
- CA conditional access
- each site subscribing to the ad-hoc delivery service 30 is entitled to receive ad-hoc conditional access services.
- the CyberStar announcement stream announces the multicast stream address that is used by the channel 41 , and together with a CyberStarTM catalog that functions to describe the schedule, recipient list, services, and entitlements for an individual site, the client can filter the data destined for that site.
- FIG. 4 shows the data flow associated with the ad-hoc delivery service 30.
- Fig. 4 illustrates the detailed processes used in the ad-hoc delivery service 30. These processes include a receive file process 51 , a process file process 53. a process queue process 58, a broadcast files process 59, a monitor queue process 56, and a process queue status requests process 55.
- the receive file process 51 detects the receipt of a file 52 in a content provider's directory 31. Upon reading the file management information contained in the file 52, the file 52 is placed into the appropriate folder and an alarm or alert is sent to the process file process 53.
