摘要： Flexible systems and methods are disclosed that may be used for provisioning, configuring, and controlling a host embodied in a cable set top box or other digital device attached to a digital communication network, such as cable distribution network. An enhanced services system maintains various host files for various types of hosts that a cable subscriber may purchase and connect to the cable network. The Enhanced Services Server interacts with the host using the host files. The host files may be downloaded from the host manufacturer into a database that distributes the modules as required to the various enhanced services systems. The host may be purchased by the cable subscriber and provisioning may be initiated by the retailer at the time of purchase using a provisioning network interacting with the appropriate cable system serving the subscriber. This abstract is not intended to limit or construe the scope of the claims.

摘要： In a system (200) for managing and selecting a service (240.sub.A, 240.sub.B, sub.C 240.sub.N) to fulfill a request, a client application (210.sub.1, 210.sub.2, 210.sub.3 210.sub.n) can issue a message to execute a function. A service proxy (220) can receive the message from the client application and identify one of a plurality of services (240.sub.A, 240.sub.B, 240.sub.C 240.sub.N) to execute the function in accordance with one or more rules. Upon identifying the service to execute the function in accordance with the rules, the service proxy can send a message to the identified service to execute the function. Alternatively, the service proxy can send the identity of the identified service to the client application. The client application can then send the message to execute the function to the identified service upon receiving the identity of the identified service from the service proxy.

摘要： An asset provider (10) can identify a segment of a broadcast stream to be extracted at a distribution endpoint and formatted for on demand viewing by cable subscribers (20). An asset provider (10) can use a start time code and a stop time code to identify the start and end of the segment in the broadcast stream. The asset provider (10) can also insert tags into the broadcast stream identifying a segment to be extracted at the distribution endpoint. Upon receiving the broadcast stream, the distribution endpoint can then extract the segment identified by either the start and stop time codes or the tags.

摘要： In a system (100) for scheduling the distribution of digital assets by multiple asset providers (10) to multiple receivers (20), an asset provider can send a request to a scheduler (30) to schedule the distribution of an asset to one or more receivers (20). The scheduler (30) determines whether the distribution of the asset can be scheduled based upon the availability of the asset provider's resources to distribute the asset and the availability of the receivers' resources to receive the assets. If the resources are not available, the scheduler (30) can attempt to reschedule the distribution of other assets to accommodate the request.
摘要翻译：在用于将多个资产提供者（10）的数字资产分配到多个接收器（20）的系统（100）中，资产提供者可以向调度器（30）发送一个请求，以将资产的分配调度到一个或更多的接收器（20）。调度器（30）基于资产提供者的资源的分配资产的可用性和接收者的资源的可用性来确定资产的分配是否可以被调度。如果资源不可用，则调度器（30）可以尝试重新安排其他资产的分配以适应请求。

摘要： In a system (100) for managing and updating metadata associated with an asset, an asset provider (5) can associate the asset with metadata. The asset provider (5) can send an asset bundle comprising the metadata and the asset to the distribution endpoints via a satellite (40). In the event the asset provider (5) modifies or updates the metadata associated with the asset, the asset provider (5) can identify which distribution endpoints are to receive the updated metadata. After identifying which distribution endpoints are to receive the updated metadata, the asset provider (5) can send the updated metadata without manual intervention to each of these distribution endpoints. Alternatively, the metadata may be stored by a metadata administrator (60, 80), and the metadata may be sent to distribution endpoints upon the metadata administrator (60,80) receiving a request for the metadata from the distribution endpoints.

摘要： An asset provider (10) can identify a segment of a broadcast stream to be extracted at a distribution endpoint and formatted for on demand viewing by cable subscribers (20). An asset provider (10) can use a start time code and a stop time code to identify the start and end of the segment in the broadcast stream. The asset provider (10) can also insert tags into the broadcast stream identifying a segment to be extracted at the distribution endpoint. Upon receiving the broadcast stream, the distribution endpoint can then extract the segment identified by either the start and stop time codes or the tags.
