Method for recording content, encrypted with control words (CW) in module of receiving device/decoder (STB), connected to protection module (SC), wherein aforementioned control words (CW) in the same manner as privileges, required for access to aforementioned content, are transferred by means of control messages (ECM, EMM), where aforementioned control messages are encrypted by means of system keys (TK, RK), and aforementioned system keys are used jointly by a set of modules of receiving devices/decoders (STB), includes following stages: encrypted content is saved together with control messages (ECM, EMM) in memory device; system keys (TK, RK) are encrypted locally by means of a predetermined local key (S1), located in protection module (SC); system keys (SK) are saved in memory device in encrypted form after their encryption with aforementioned local key (S1).

Method for integrating reference identifiers of tv-anytime content

Method for integrating reference identifiers of tv-anytime content

In accordance to the invention, during creation a stream of sound/video information, multiplexing is used for video information component, sound information component, and at least one reference identifier of content, where reference identifier of content is connected to video information component and sound information component in MPEG transmission stream. Also, device is described for realization of aforementioned method for transmitting and receiving a stream of sound/video information, containing TV-Anytime CRID.

Digital content distribution system

Digital content distribution system

Method is provided for generation of digital data with cryptographic protection, encoding content and composed into messages. Encoding of at least a part of the message is performed and encoded messages are provided in form of output signal in format, allowing the interface of server service to compose a message in form of at least one packet, including at least one header and useful load, where at least one header includes information, which allows the service interface in the client to assemble each message for decoding application using useful load of packets. Each message is divided onto the first and at least one additional section of the message. At least one of the message sections is encoded in such a way that it may be decoded independently from other message sections. Assembly of encrypted message is performed by addition of resynchronization marker, separating the message section from adjacent message section and including precise information about synchronization, at least for additional sections of the message.

System and method for identification of web-camera

System and method for identification of web-camera

System uses web-camera, client computer and server web-site. In web-camera, authentication password and video-communication application are stored. Server web-site has authentication module for identification of web-camera and a functional module. After the client computer installs video application, provided by web-camera, web-camera may connect to server web-site through client computer. Server web-site authenticates possible usage of web-camera by checking authentication password. After passage of authentication web-camera may receive services provided by functional module.

Method for efficient recording of object carousels

Method for efficient recording of object carousels

Data transmission system contains transmitter 10 and, at least, one receiver 14, configured for receiving signals, transmitted by transmitter. Data file objects and catalogue objects, creating the carousel, are transmitted with periodical repeating in predetermined groups of file and catalogue objects, made into appropriate modules in the transmitter, according to MPEG-2 DSM-CC protocols. Each module is transmitted as a whole, and receiver is composed in such a way, that it is possible to record received objects of file data and catalogue objects with predetermined variant of grouping on the level of elementary streams and the level of modules.
