Patent

CA 2233576

A method and system is provided for receiving sets of program requests from a plurality of subscriber locations and delivering programs that match or closely match the selected programming preferences or content requests. A processor at a cable headend registers the selected programming preferences for a given programming period and applies optimization techniques in an effort to have the communications equipment multicast each preference, rather than pointcast, in order to reduce the operating costs of the service provider.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système pour recevoir une série de demandes de programme depuis une pluralité d'emplacements d'abonnés et fournir des programmes qui correspondent ou se rapprochent étroitement des préférences de programmation ou des demandes de contenu choisies. Un processeur à l'extrémité tête de réseau du câble enregistre les préférences de programmation choisies pour une période de programmation donnée et applique des techniques d'optimisation pour que l'équipement de communication effectue une diffusion simultanée plutôt qu'individuelle, afin de réduire les coûts de fonctionnement du serveur.
