Abstract
A receiver includes a first interface to receive content, a second interface to be coupled to a device, and a processor to determine whether the device is a compliant device and to prevent decryption of at least a portion of the content received through the first interface when the device is determined to be a non-compliant device.
Claims30
An apparatus comprising:
- a first interface to receive content;
- a second interface to be coupled to a device;
- and
- a processor to determine whether the device is a compliant device and to prevent decryption of at least a portion of the content received through the first interface when the device is determined to be a non-compliant device.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving content through a first interface;
- detecting coupling of a device to a second interface;
- determining the device to be a non-compliant device;
- and
- preventing decryption of at least a portion of the content received through the first interface when the device is determined to be said non-compliant device, wherein the first and second interfaces are included within a same receiver.
2 more elements
A device comprising:
- first logic to receive a first signal on content to be received from a first interface;
- second logic to receive a second signal indicative of a coupling of an external device to a second interface;
- and
- third logic coupled between the first interface and the second interface, wherein the third logic is to determine whether the external device is a non-compliant device after receipt of at least the second signal and to prevent decryption of at least a portion of the content when the device is determined to be a non-compliant device.
1 more element
A computer-readable medium storing a program for controlling a receiver, the program comprising:
- first code to determine that a device to be coupled the receiver is a non-compliant device;
- second code to prevent decryption of at least a portion of the content received through an interface when the device is determined to be a non-compliant device.
