Patent

CA 2655935

A method and apparatus for providing a private broadcast channel service, e.g., a virtual closed circuit television service, on packet networks such as Service over Internet Protocol (SoIP) networks are disclosed. For example, a customer subscribes to the private broadcast channel service for a group having a plurality of confirmed members who have confirmed their desire to participate. The network service provider enables one or more of the group members to upload media content to the service provider's network. The service provider then broadcasts the uploaded media content to all the confirmed members such that each confirmed member may view the media content by simply tuning to the appropriate channel assigned for the private broadcast channel service.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour fournir un service de chaînes de diffusion privé, p. ex. un service de télévision virtuelle en circuit fermé, sur des réseaux à commutation par paquets tels que des réseaux de services sur IP (SoIP). Par exemple, un client s'abonne au service de chaînes de diffusion privé pour un groupe dont une pluralité de membres confirmés ont confirmé leur volonté de participer. Le fournisseur de services de réseau permet à un ou plusieurs des membres du groupe de télécharger des contenus multimédias vers le réseau du fournisseur de services. Le fournisseur de services diffuse ensuite les contenus multimédias téléchargés pour tous les membres confirmés de sorte que chaque membre confirmé puisse visualiser lesdits contenus multimédias en réglant simplement le canal approprié affecté au service de chaînes de diffusion privé.
