Mobile streaming processing system for video and audio content

摘要

A system for delivering satellite signals to a plurality of display platforms. A system in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention comprises a first transmission system for delivering the satellite signals to a first display platform via at least one satellite, and a second transmission system, coupled to the first transmission system, for delivering at least a portion of the satellite signals to at least one second display platform, the first transmission system and the second transmission system transmitting in a substantially simultaneous manner, wherein the second transmission system transmits a data stream formatted for compatibility with the at least one second display platform.

主权项

1. A system for delivering satellite signals to a plurality of display platforms, comprising:
(a) a first transmission system for delivering the satellite signals to a first display platform via at least one satellite, wherein:
(i) the first display platform comprises an integrated receiver-decoder (IRD);(ii) the IRD is associated with a subscriber;(iii) the IRD has access rights that determine whether the subscriber is authorized to access content in the satellite signals; and(iv) the first transmission system delivers the satellite signals to the IRD in a first format compatible with the IRD; and (b) a second transmission system, coupled to the first transmission system, for delivering at least a portion of the satellite signals to at least one second display platform, wherein:
(i) the second transmission system transmits the portion of the satellite signals in a second format compatible with the at least one second display platform, wherein the first format is different from the second format, and wherein the first transmission system is different from the second transmission system;(ii) a first second display platform is a mobile device; and(iii) authorization to access the portion of the satellite signals in the second format on the mobile device is tied to the access rights for the IRD, wherein such access rights comprise blackout rules based on a geographical location of the IRD and a number of devices accessing a subscriber account.
