Abstract
A method for managing access, by a reading device, to a televised content item. The method includes: obtaining, for the same content item, a set of multicast broadcast channels associated with temporally spaced respective broadcast times. A request to access the content item made by the reading device includes selecting a multicast broadcast channel chosen from the set.
Claims12
A managing method for managing access, by a reader, to televised content, wherein the method is implemented by the reader and comprises:
- obtaining, for given content, a set of multicast distribution channels associated with respective distribution times that are temporally spaced apart;
- and
- making a content access request including selecting a multicast distribution channel chosen from said set.
An entity for managing access to televised content, wherein the entity comprises:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon which when executed by the at least one processor configure the entity to implement a method for managing access, by a reader, to televised content, the method comprising:
- obtaining, for given content, a set of multicast distribution channels associated with respective distribution times that are temporally spaced apart;
- and
- selecting a multicast distribution channel chosen from said set following a content access request.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a computer program stored thereon comprising code instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement a method for managing access, by a reader, to televised content, wherein the method comprises:
- obtaining, for given content, a set of multicast distribution channels associated with respective distribution times that are temporally spaced apart;
- and
- making a content access request including selecting a multicast distribution channel chosen from said set.
A method for managing distribution of content having a scheduled distribution time, wherein the method comprises:
- creating, for given content, a set of multicast distribution channels associated with respective distribution times that are temporally spaced apart;
- receiving a datum representative of a distribution time chosen from said set;
- and
- transmitting the content via the channel associated with the chosen distribution time.
An entity for managing distribution of content having a scheduled distribution time, wherein the entity comprises:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon which when executed by the at least one processor configure the entity to implement a method comprising:
- creating, for given content, a set of multicast distribution channels associated with respective distribution times that are temporally spaced apart;
- receiving a datum representative of a distribution time chosen from said set;
- and
- transmitting the content via the channel associated with the chosen distribution time.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a computer program stored thereon comprising code instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement a method for managing distribution of content having a scheduled distribution time, wherein the method comprises:
- creating, for given content, a set of multicast distribution channels associated with respective distribution times that are temporally spaced apart;
- receiving a datum representative of a distribution time chosen from said set;
- and
- transmitting the content via the channel associated with the chosen distribution time.
