Description

通过利用电话公司网络实现异地播放的网际协议电视远程接入
技术领域
本发明主要地涉及网际协议电视(IPTV)分发,并且具体地涉及通过利用电话公司网络实现异地播放的网际协议电视远程接入。
背景技术
目前,用户可以从用户的住宅以外的公共地点或者酒店房间中的宽带位置远程访问在该用户的住宅处预订的网际协议电视(IPTV)服务。这一异地播放(place shifting)或者TV无处不在(TV anywhere)的概念类似于由当今可用的数字录像机(DVR)或者盒式录像机(VCR)提供的时间转变功能。然而,由于带宽限制,信号的视频质量较低。
目前,设备可以使用户能够通过利用连接因特网的膝上型计算机或者个人计算机(PC)从远程位置观看他的起居室电视节目安排。这些设备经由因特网将来自用户的分线盒、卫星接收器或者DVR的电视信号向PC异地播放。无论用户去往何处,低视频质量的TV都将伴随左右。由于用于现有解决方案的上行信道和编码器的带宽通常限于256Kbps,所以现有解决方案提供的视频质量较低。
因此,需要一种用于允许利用电话公司网络向用户提供高质量IPTV信号的异地播放的方法、计算机可读介质和系统。
发明内容
本发明利用电话网络将高质量的信号发送到远程PC或者膝上型计算机。远程PC中的数字权利管理(DRM)系统将与网络和家用机顶盒通信,以在内容可以传输到远程PC或者在远程PC上播放之前确认远程PC的身份。
将在确认宽带网络中连接的远程PC的身份之后将视频流传输到远程PC。对于视频点播(VOD)电影,系统将能够在远程PC中缓存电影的一部分以使系统更鲁棒和更不容易受传输问题影响。膝上型计算机也可以通过存储可以链接到PVR设备的各种电影或者节目的短片段来作为分布式网络个人录像机(PVR)进行工作,以改善在视频容量受约束的远程视频播放器或者膝上型计算机中可用的节目安排的响应时间和多样性。
可以通过使电话网络能够将更高质量的视频信号传输到远程PC来实现在远程位置处的高质量视频接收。与在当前系统中可用的不足1Mpbs带宽和较低质量相比,可以实现数Mbps的传输带宽。对于常规感兴趣的节目短片段的本地存储可以改善远程设备中的响应时间和节目安排多样性以及选择。
在本发明的一个实施例中,一种用于通过利用电话公司网络实现异地播放的网际协议电视远程接入的方法包括:确认支持网际协议的远程设备的身份;基于确认的身份来管理去往支持网际协议的远程设备的数据流的速率;并且利用宽带网络将数据流传输到支持网际协议的远程设备。该方法也可以包括:感测支持网际协议的设备的最佳分辨率,其中根据感测的最佳分辨率来管理速率;将感测的最佳分辨率发送到宽带网络;并且在支持网际协议的远程设备中缓存数据流。其中对支持网际协议的远程设备的身份的确认利用数字权利管理协议,并且其中对支持网际协议的远程设备的身份的确认由宽带网络执行。另外,该方法可以包括:将验证查询从支持网际协议的远程设备传输到宽带网络;将支持网际协议的远程设备的用户偏好集发送到宽带网络;并且在支持网际协议的远程设备中存储用户偏好集。
在本发明的另一实施例中,一种计算机可读介质包括用于以下操作的指令:在机顶盒从支持网际协议的远程设备接收验证查询;确认支持网际协议的远程设备的身份;基于确认的身份来管理去往支持网际协议的远程设备的数据流的速率;并且利用宽带网络将数据流从机顶盒传输到支持网际协议的远程设备。该计算机可读介质可以包括用于以下操作的指令:在支持网际协议的远程设备中缓存数据流;将用户偏好集从机顶盒发送到支持网际协议的远程设备;将用户偏好集从机顶盒发送到宽带网络;在支持网际协议的远程设备中存储用户偏好集;并且在宽带网络中存储用户偏好集。
在又一实施例中,一种用于通过利用电话公司网络实现异地播放的网际协议电视远程接入的系统包括:接收数据流的存储器;以及用通信方式耦合到存储器的处理器,其中处理器:将验证查询从支持网际协议的远程设备发送到机顶盒;在支持网际协议的远程设备处利用宽带网络从机顶盒接收数据流;基于验证查询来管理去往支持网际协议的远程设备的数据流的速率;并且在支持网际协议的远程设备中缓存数据流。该系统的处理器可以在支持网际协议的远程设备处从机顶盒接收用户偏好集并且在支持网际协议的远程设备中存储用户偏好集,其中宽带网络是电话公司网络。
