  • Video on demand and pay per view systems are well-known in the art. Typically, these systems provide for enabling viewers to request a particular movie title and serving the movie from a video server or the like.

  • the '582 patent further suggests that the described server may be targeted to initially support 1600 users with later systems providing support for 10,000 users per video server.
  • the '582 patent states that supporting thousands of users with their diverse movie interests will require storage of hundreds, if not thousands of titles. Thus, total storage capacity of the proposed video servers will be relatively large — at least approaching the terabyte range.
  • the viewer selects a movie for viewing, commits to payment for the movie, and the movie content is then delivered to the viewer.
  • This general approach of obtaining authorization for payment before delivery of the movie is used whether the content is delivered from a video server over a network or whether the content is delivered in a more manual approach by the viewer going to the video store, selecting a video, paying for it, and bringing it home for viewing.
  • Even the so-called DIVXTM disk required payment at a retail outlet for the disk before it was brought home to be played.
