H04N 7/16
H04N 7/173

US Classification:

725 25, 725116, 725 82

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method includes determining, at a set-top box device, positioning data associated with a location of the set-top box device. The computer-implemented method includes determining whether the set-top box device is authorized to receive media content at the location. The computer-implemented method also includes receiving the media content via a wireless transmission from a residential gateway when the set-top box device is authorized to receive the media content at the location.

International Classification:

G06F 7/04

US Classification:

340 582

Abstract:

A remote control device is operated by receiving biometric information from a user, authenticating an identity of the user based on the received biometric information, and facilitating user operation of a device in accordance with a functionality profile associated with the user's identity, the functionality profile specifying at least one of a restriction and a permission affecting operation of the device.

AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P. - Reno NV

International Classification:

H04L 12/56

US Classification:

370392

Abstract:

A method of redirecting traffic on a network includes receiving a subscriber request to use a parental control service, assigning to the subscriber's access device an Internet protocol (IP) address from a block of addresses reserved for the service, receiving a transaction, determining that the transaction is from an address in the block, and redirecting the transaction to a parental control device on the network. A network-based parental control system includes an access device for an account that uses a parental control service, a dynamic host configuration protocol server that assigns to the access device an IP address from a block of addresses reserved for the parental control service, a parental control policy device, and a router that receives a transaction from the access device, determines that the transaction is from an address in the block, and redirects the transaction to the parental control policy device.

G06F 15/173
G06F 21/20

US Classification:

726 7, 709230, 709223

Abstract:

Example systems and methods to route network communications for network-based services are disclosed. An example method includes receiving network communications; determining if at least one of a source address or a destination address of the received network communications is associated with a customer to receive a network-based service; forwarding the network communications to a policy enforcement point if the at least one of the source address or the destination address is associated with the customer; determining if the forwarded network communications violates a policy selectively associated with the customer; and forwarding the network communications from the policy enforcement point to the destination address if the network communications is not in violation of the policy.

Jason Matthew Godfrey - Volcano CA, US

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
H04W 12/08
H04L 12/947

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus to process network communications are disclosed. Example methods include determining, at a first edge router of an access network, if at least one of a source address or a destination address of a network communication is associated with a customer to receive a network-based service and forwarding the network communication from the first edge router to network equipment within the access network for routing to the destination address when the at least one of the source address or the destination address is not associated with the customer who is to receive the network-based service. Further methods include forwarding the network communication from the first edge router to a policy enforcement point within the access network when the at least one of the source address or the destination address is associated with the customer to receive the network-based service.
