US 2019/0356954 A1 · CONTENT ONBOARDING AND CUSTOM CHANNEL LINEUP PROVISIONING

Abstract

A device can receive configuration information associated with a set of channels to be provided as part of an Internet protocol television (IPTV) service. The device can receive information associated with a set of channel categories after receiving the configuration information associated with the set of channels. The device can receive information associated with a set of channel lineups after receiving the information associated with the set of channel categories. The device can receive information associated with a user device that is associated with the IPTV service. The device can generate, based on the information associated with the user device and the channel configuration information, a custom channel lineup using the information associated with the set of channel lineups. The device can provide, to the user device, the custom channel lineup to permit the user device to provide, for display, information associated with the custom channel lineup.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

receiving, by a device, configuration information associated with a set of channels associated with an Internet protocol television (IPTV) service,
the configuration information identifying whether a user device, associated with the IPTV service, is eligible for one or more of the set of channels;
determining, by the device, whether the user device is connected to an in-home network or an out-of-home network;
determining, by the device based on whether the user device is connected to the in-home network or the out-of-home network, a probability of a user, associated with the user device, being interested in a particular channel of the set of channels;
generating, by the device based on the configuration information associated with the set of channels, and whether the user device is connected to the in-home network or the out-of-home network, a custom channel lineup,
the custom channel lineup selectively including the particular channel based on whether the probability satisfies a threshold;
and
providing, by the device and to the user device, information associated with the custom channel lineup.

5 more elements

A device, comprising:

one or more memories;
and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
receive configuration information associated with a set of channels associated with an Internet protocol television (IPTV) service,
the configuration information identifying whether a user device, associated with the IPTV service, is eligible for one or more of the set of channels;
determine whether the user device is connected to an in-home network or an out-of-home network;
determine a probability of a user, associated with the user device, being interested in a particular channel of the set of channels;
generate and whether the user device is connected to the in-home network or the out-of-home network, a custom channel lineup,
the custom channel lineup selectively including the particular channel based on whether the probability satisfies a threshold;
and
provide, to the user device, information associated with the custom channel lineup.

8 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
receive configuration information associated with a set of channels associated with an Internet protocol television (IPTV) service,
the configuration information identifying whether a user device, associated with the IPTV service, is eligible for one or more of the set of channels;
determine whether the user device is connected to an in-home network or an out-of-home network;
determine a probability of a user, associated with the user device, being interested in a particular channel of the set of channels;
generate and whether the user device is connected to the in-home network or the out-of-home network, a custom channel lineup,
the custom channel lineup selectively including the particular channel based on whether the probability satisfies a threshold;
and
provide, to the user device, information associated with the custom channel lineup.
