- the illustrated chart is for example purposes only. The user may activate an intelligent card using the same, some, or different processes without departing from the scope of this disclosure.
- FIG. 9 is a flow chart illustrating an example method 900 for automatically bootstrapping an intelligent card in response to at least insertion into a host device.
- an intelligent card may execute one or more authentication procedures prior to activation. Many of the steps in this flowchart may take place simultaneously and/or in different orders as shown.
- System 100 may use methods with additional steps, fewer steps, and/or different steps, so long as the methods remain appropriate.
- Method 900 begins at step 902 where insertion into a host device is detected.
- the service card 104 may detect insertion into the mobile device 106 . If authentication is not required for any aspect of the intelligent card at decisional step 904 , then execution ends. If authentication is required for at least one aspect, then execution proceeds to decisional step 906 . If communication with the host device includes one or more errors, then, at step 908 , a failure is indicated to the user. In the example, the service card 104 may present an indication of a communication error to the user using the GUI 116 . If a communication error is not detected at decisional step 906 , then execution proceeds to decisional step 910 . In some implementations, the intelligent card uploads an SD driver to the host device.
- the intelligent card only requires physical authentication, then execution proceeds to decisional step 912 . If the network authentication flag is not set to on, then, at step 914 , the antenna is turned on and the intelligent card is updated with host-device signature. As for the example, the service card 104 may activate the antenna for wireless transactions and update local memory with the host-device signature. If the network authentication flag is turned on at decisional step 912 , then, at step 916 , the intelligent card transmits a request for the network ID to the host device. Next, at step 918 , the intelligent card retrieves a locally-stored network ID. If the stored network ID and the request network ID match at decisional step 920 , then the card is activated at step 914 . If the two network ID's do not match, then the antenna is deactivated at step 922 .
- step 910 if the authentication is not only physical authentication, then execution proceeds to decisional step 924 . If the authentication process includes device authentication, then, at step 926 , the intelligent card transmits a request for a network ID to the host device. At step 928 , the intelligent card retrieves a locally stored device signatures. If the intelligent card does not include at least one device signature, then execution proceeds to decisional step 934 . If the intelligent card includes one or more device signatures, then execution proceeds to decisional step 932 . If one of the device signatures matches the request network ID, then execution proceeds to decisional step 934 . If the signatures and the request network ID do not match, then execution proceeds to step 922 for deactivation. If user authentication is not included in the authentication process, then execution proceeds to decisional step 912 for physical authentication. If user authentication is included at decisional step 934 , then execution proceeds to step 938 .
- step 936 if the authentication process does not include device authentication, then execution proceeds to decisional step 936 . If user authentication is not included in the process, then, at step 922 , the intelligent card is turned off. If user authentication is included, then, at step 938 , the intelligent card request a user id and password from the user using the host device. While the user authentication is described with respect to entering a user id and password through the mobile host device, the user may be authenticated using other information such as a simple PIN and/or biometric information (e.g., fingerprint). Again returning to the example, the service card 104 may present a request for the user to enter a user-id and password through the GUI 116 .
- biometric information e.g., fingerprint
- the intelligent card sends the entered information to the service provider using the cellular network or the broadcast network. If at the account information is validated by the service provider at decisional step 942 , then execution proceeds to decisional step 912 for physical authentication. If the account information is not validated at decisional step 942 , then execution proceeds to decisional step 944 . If the number of attempts have not exceeded a specified threshold, then execution returns to step 938 . If the number of attempts has exceed to the threshold, then the antenna is deactivated at step 922 . In the example, if the event that the service card 104 fails to authorize the device, network and/or user, the service card 104 may wirelessly transmit an indication to the associated service provider using the cellular radio technology of the mobile host device 106 . In this case, the illustrated method 900 may be implemented as a fraud control process to substantially prevent unauthorized use of the service card 104 .

- the service card 104 may wireless transmit an activation request to the service GUI 116 using the cellular radio technology of the mobile host device 106 .
- decisional step 1008 If card activation is not included, then execution ends. If card activation is included, then execution proceeds to decisional step 1010 .
- an activation code is not included, then at step 1012 , one or more preprogrammed questions are presented to the user using the GUI of the host device.
- the service card 104 may identify locally stored questions and present the questions to the user using the GUI 116 of the mobile host device 106 .
- locally-stored answers to the programmed questions are identified.
- decisional step 1010 if an activation code is included, then execution proceeds to decisional step 1016 . If the activation code is manually entered by the user, then at step 1018 , a request for the activation code is presented to the user through the GUI of the mobile host device.
- the service card 104 may present a request for an activation code such as a string of characters to the user through the GUI 116 of the mobile host device 106 . If the activation code is not manually entered by the user, then at step 1020 , the service card wirelessly transmits a request for the activation code using the cellular radio technology of the host device. In the broadcast example, the service card 104 may transmit a request to the service provider using the cellular core network 108 . In either case, the locally-stored activation code is identified at step 1022 . If the locally stored information matches the provided information at decisional step 1024 , then at step 1026 , the service card is activated. For example, the service card 104 may activate in response to at least a user entering a matching activation code through the GUI 116 . If the provided information does not match the locally stored information, then execution ends.

The side surfaces and a rear surface form an opening that receives at least a portion of a consumer device. A first portion of at least one of the surfaces includes a connector for connecting to a port of the consumer device. The circuit connects the physical interface to the connector. The broadcast service card connects to the physical interface and receives broadcasted content independent of the consumer device.
Description
- This application claims priority under 35 USC §119(e) to U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 60/971,813, filed on Sep. 12, 2007, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- This invention relates to network communications and, more particularly, to receiving broadcast signals using covers for mobile devices.
- Portable electronic devices and tokens have become an integrated part of the regular day to day user experience. There is a wide variety of common portable and handheld devices that users have in their possession including communication, business and entertaining devices such as cell phones, music players, digital cameras, smart cards, memory token and variety of possible combinations of the aforementioned devices and tokens. All of these devices share the commonality that consumer are accustomed to carrying them with them most of the time and to most places. This is true across the various demographics and age groups regardless of the level of the sophistication of the consumer, their age group, their technical level or background.
- These common handheld devices offer options for expandable memory. Micro Secure Digital (microSD) is the popular interface across high-end cellphones while SD and MultiMediaCard (MMC) interfaces are also available in limited models. MicroSD is the least common denominator supported by the majority of these devices and tokens (in terms of size). In addition, adaptors are available to convert a MicroSD into MiniSD, SD, MMC and USB Although most popular MP3 player (iPOD) offer's a proprietary interface, competing designs do offer standard interfaces. Digital cameras offer mostly SD and MMC while extreme Digital (xD) is another option. Micro and Mini versions of these interfaces are also available in several models. Mini-USB is increasingly available across cellphones, digital cameras and MP3 players for synchronization with laptops.
- Various content providers and service providers are developing digital broadcast networks that will be able to provide TV like viewing channels on mobile devices. Several new mobile handset models are also being developed that embed a miniature broadcast receiver that can receive these digital broadcast signals and use a media player software to offer channel viewing to the consumer. In order to secure access and provide access to premium content like movies, subscription based pay-TV content and music albums, the service provider uses a specially designed conditional access system (CAS) which is able to verify the user's subscription and unscramble premium content before rendering it for viewing.
- Such capability can be added to the PC, by adding a hardware transceiver that can be added to the PC using peripheral interfaces such as USB, PCMCIA, PCIA or mini-PCI (and others). To control access, the conditional access system is implemented in the same hardware and comprises of a smart card that securely stores the user's identity and his subscription privileges. In addition, the service provider provides an Electronic Service Guide that the user can use to select the channels that he wishes to view. This software is typically installed on the PC together with the access driver for the hardware. In some options, the default channel guide provided by the operating system of the PC (such as Windows Vista/MacOS etc.) can be used.
- There are other consumer devices such as smartphones, MP3 players, game players and portable video players that may make use of broadcast content connection for useful applications. Since the hardware for the broadcast receiver and the conditional access system is specialized and requires a dedicated processor to receive and unscramble content, many of these devices may not be upgraded with an embedded broadcast reception capability. In addition, these devices also lack PCMCIA or USB type expansion slots where broadcast receiver and CAS hardware could be inserted. These devices also typically lack the slot for a hardware security token such as a smart card in order to provide secure access to a fee based premium TV content. These devices also need memory for the users to record content captured through these devices. The need for such memory is growing at a rapid rate.
- The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for receiving broadcast signals using intelligent covers. In some implementations, a cover for a consumer device includes side surfaces, a rear surface, a physical interface, a circuit, and a broadcast service card. The side surfaces and a rear surface form an opening that receives at least a portion of a consumer device. A first portion of at least one of the surfaces includes a connector for connecting to a port of the consumer device. The circuit connects the physical interface to the connector. The broadcast service card connects to the physical interface and receives broadcasted content independent of the consumer device.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating anexample system 100 for augmenting a mobile device, for example an iPhone, with additional external devices using a cover for the mobile device. For example, thesystem 100 may add an external microSecureDigital (microSD) slot to a mobile host device, for example an iPhone, using a flexible cover that encloses at least a portion of the mobile device and connects to a port of the mobile device. Aside from microSD, thesystem 100 may add an external memory device to a mobile device using other interfaces such as, for example, MultiMediaCard (MMC), SD, miniSD, Firewire, and/or others. By adding external devices (e.g., memory, transaction cards), thesystem 100 may upgrade a mobile device that does not include expansion slots with additional external devices while substantially maintaining the dimensions of the device. For example, the cover may increase the dimensions of the by 5 percent or less. In other words, the cover may add a device slots to a mobile device while substantially maintaining original attributes such as speaker outputs, network signal strength, headphone jacks, battery charging, docking ports, and others. In some implementations, thesystem 100 may update mobile devices with external memory devices, transaction cards, and/or other devices. For example, the intelligent card may wirelessly execute transactions with different enterprises using a single intelligent card and independent of a mobile host device. In other words, a single intelligent card included with the cover may execute a payment transaction with a financial institution, an access control transaction with a enterprise network, a ticket purchase transaction with a transit authority and/or an identity validation transaction with a government agency. In such implementations, each of the transactions can securely identify a user and user privileges with respect to the services being received from the different enterprises. In doing so, the cover including the intelligent card may operate as a logical wallet. In some of these implementations, the cover may include a circuit that converts signals between a form compatible with an external memory device (e.g., microSD) and a form compatible with the mobile device (e.g., USB). In addition, thesystem 100 may include an intelligent card integrated into an the cover such that removable may at least partially damage the cover. - At a high level, the
system 100 includes acover 102, anexternal device 104, amobile device 106 and anetwork 108. Thecover 102 including aslot 110 for connecting to theexternal device 104, aconnector 112 for connecting to themobile device 106, and acircuit 114 for communicably connecting theslot 110, anantenna 115 for boosting transmission and reception of RF signals, and theconnector 112. Thecover 102 may update themobile device 106 with anexternal device 104. In addition, thecover 102 encloses at least a portion of themobile device 106. In the case of enclosing a portion of themobile device 106, thecover 102 may include other aspects that expose ports of themobile device 106 for connecting with external peripherals such that thecover 102 does not substantially interfere with such connections. In other words, thecover 102 may either include ports substantially aligned with ports of themobile device 106 or provide openings that allow substantially unrestricted access to the original ports of the device 106 (seeFIG. 2C ). Themobile device 106 may be communicable coupled to thenetwork 108. Themobile device 106 includes a Graphical User Interface (GUI) 116 for presenting information to and/or receiving information from users. - The
cover 102 can include any software, hardware, and/or firmware configured to update themobile device 106 with one or more external devices slots. For example, thecover 102 may include a microSD slot and a physical interface for connecting to a port of the mobile device. In this example, thecover 102 may connect the microSD slot to themobile device 106 using the physical interface. In some implementations, thecover 102 may include one or more of the following: one or more slots for external devices (e.g., memory, wireless transaction cards); one or more connectors that connect to themobile device 106; one or more circuits for connecting the one or more slots to the one or more connectors; a conversion module that converts signals between different formats; a biometric reader that determines biometric information of a user of themobile device 106; and/or other elements. In some implementations, thecover 102 may be formed of a flexible material such as, for example, silicone rubber, a soft neoprene, and/or other material. The opening formed by thecover 102 may be substantially be the same as or less than the dimensions of themobile device 106. In the case of the opening dimensions being less, thecover 102 may be slightly flexible to stretch over themobile device 106. Thecover 102 may substantially maintain attributes of themobile device 106, such as dimensions, accessibility to peripherals as provided by the device, charging, battery life, signal strength, access to display and all other input devices, connectivity to the wireless network if any, interface capability to a PC if any and any other features provided by the device. In maintaining the attributes, the added functionality may not degrade the device performance in any manner such that certification by regulatory authorities (e.g., FCC) and warranty by the issuer of thedevice 106 is compromised. - In the illustrated implementation, the
cover 102 includes theslot 110, theconnector 112 and thecircuit 114. Theslot 110 may comprise an MMC, miniMMC, microMMC, SD, miniSD, microSD, and/or other slots. Theslot 110 may including an opening such that theexternal device 104 may be inserted after themobile device 106 is inserted into thecover 102. In some implementations, theslot 110 may be formed in the rear surface such thatcover 102 is removed or at least portion moved away from the surface of themobile device 106 to insert theexternal device 104. In some implementations, theslot 110 and theexternal device 104 are integrated into thecover 102, and in this case, theexternal device 104 may not be removable without damaging thecover 102. Theconnector 112 includes at least a portion that connects to a port of themobile device 106. Theconnector 112 may include a USB, iDock, microUSB, Firewire, Serial, and/or other connectors offered by themobile device 106. In some implementations, theconnector 112 may include a first interface for connecting to themobile device 106 and a second interface for connecting with external devices. The second interface may be substantially similar in dimensions and interface capabilities as the original connector of themobile device 106. In these instances, theconnector 112 may pass one or more signals from external devices to themobile device 106 without, for example, interfering with the connecting to theexternal device 104. For example, theconnector 112 may include a second interface that connects with the power supply of themobile device 106 and passes the signal to themobile device 106 for charging. Thecircuit 114 can include any software, hardware, and firmware for communicably connecting theslot 110 with theconnector 112. For example, thecircuit 114 may include one or more wired connections between theslot 110 and theconnector 112. In addition, thecircuit 114 may also include a booster antenna that may enhance the signal reception capability of themobile device 106 and/or the signal reception capability of any wireless transaction cards inserted into the slot 110 (seeFIG. 2A ). In some implementations, thecircuit 114 may execute one or more of the following: pass signals between theslot 110 and theconnector 112; translated or otherwise convert signals between forms compatible with theexternal device 104 and forms compatible with themobile device 106; detect biometric information of a user of themobile device 106; manage access to theexternal device 104 based, at least in part, on detected biometric information; enhance signal reception of the host device via an integrated booster antenna; enhance signal reception of a wireless transaction card inserted into the slot; provide access to software and system on the device inserted into the slot for an application residing on the mobile device; and/or other processes. - The
external device 104 can include any software, hardware, and/or firmware configured to update themobile device 106 with one or more features and/or functions. For example, theexternal device 104 may include solid-state memory (e.g., flash, EEPROM) for storing information received, for example, from themobile device 106. Theexternal device 104 may update themobile device 106 with, for example, external memory, a wireless transaction card, a broadcast receiver, a broadband transceiver, and/or other elements. In regards to memory, theexternal device 104 may be a Flash or memory package, which is non-volatile memory that may be electrically erased and reprogrammed. Theexternal device 104 may be a memory card, USB Flash drives, and/or other memory device. For example, theexternal device 104 may include Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) that is erased and programmed in blocks. In regards to memory cards, theexternal device 104 may be MMC, microMMC, miniMMC, SD, microSD, miniSD, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, xD-Picture Card, Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), and/or other memory card. In some implementations, theexternal device 104 may include a memory capacity between 1 MB and 1 TB. Alternatively or in addition, theexternal device 104 may be a transaction card as discussed with respect toFIGS. 5 to 14 . In these implementations, theexternal card 104 may wirelessly execute transactions with, for example, a point of sale device. In some implementations, theexternal card 104 is integrated/embedded into thecover 102. Theexternal card 104 may store user credentials for a credit card, a debit card, a prepaid card, a gift card, a checking account, and/or other user accounts. In addition, the intelligent card may also store user credentials for other applications such as loyalty (points for purchase), airline (access to clubs, check-in), state (driving license), memberships (clubs) and/or others where user credentials are used to identify user so that goods and/or services can be provided. By storing multiple user credentials in a singleexternal card 104, thesystem 100 may execute transactions with different institutions without requiring multiple instruments, as discussed in more detail with respect toFIGS. 5-14 . - The
mobile device 106 comprises an electronic device operable to interface with thecover 102 using one or more ports. For example, themobile device 106 may have an iDock port that connects with thecover 102. As used in this disclosure, themobile device 106 is intended to encompass cellular phones (e.g., iPhone), data phones, pagers, portable computers, SIP phones, smart phones, personal data assistants (PDAs), digital cameras, MP3 players, camcorders, one or more processors within these or other devices, or any other suitable processing devices capable of communicating information with thecover 102 through one or more ports and may not have otherwise have a slot forexternal card 104 could be directly plugged in. The one or more ports may include, for example, a USB port, an iDock port, a FireWire port, a serial port and/or any other interface port provided by the mobile device for connectivity with peripherals, and/or other ports. In some implementations, themobile devices 106 may be based on broadcast radio technology. For example, themobile device 106 may be a PDA operable to wirelessly connect with an external or unsecured network. In another example, themobile device 106 may comprise a digital multimedia player that includes an input device, such as a keypad, a jog wheel, a jog dial, touch screen, or other device that can accept information or allows selection of user interface elements, and an output device that conveys information associated with thesystem 100, including digital data, visual information, orGUI 116. - The
GUI 116 comprises a graphical user interface operable to allow the user of themobile device 106 to interface with at least a portion of thesystem 100 for any suitable purpose, such as executing transactions and/or and presenting transaction history. Generally, theGUI 116 provides the particular user with an efficient and user-friendly presentation of data provided by or communicated within thesystem 100 and/or also an efficient and user-friendly means for the user to self-manage settings and access services offered by an institution. TheGUI 116 may comprise a plurality of customizable frames or views having interactive fields, pull-down lists, and/or buttons operated by the user. The term graphical user interface may be used in the singular or in the plural to describe one or more graphical user interfaces and each of the displays of a particular graphical user interface. TheGUI 116 can include any graphical user interface, such as a generic web browser or touch screen, that processes information in thesystem 100 and presents the results to the user. -
Network 108 facilitates wireless or wired communication between institutions and any other local or remote computer, such as themobile device 106.Network 108 may be all or a portion of an enterprise or secured network. While illustrated as single network,network 108 may be a continuous network logically divided into various sub-nets or virtual networks without departing from the scope of this disclosure, so long as at least a portion ofnetwork 108 may facilitate communications with themobile device 106. In some implementations,network 108 encompasses any internal or external network, networks, sub-network, or combination thereof operable to facilitate communications between various computing components insystem 100.Network 108 may communicate, for example, Internet Protocol (IP) packets, Frame Relay frames, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) cells, voice, video, data, and other suitable information between network addresses.Network 108 may include one or more local area networks (LANs), radio access networks (RANs), metropolitan area networks (MANs), wide area networks (WANs), all or a portion of the global computer network known as the Internet, and/or any other communication system or systems at one or more locations. -
FIGS. 2A to 2C illustrate cross-sectional views of thecover 102 ofFIG. 1 . In particular, the views illustrate the components of thecover 102 that at least augment themobile device 106 with thecard 104. InFIG. 2A , thecover 102 includes a port-to-card converter module 202 (e.g., USB-to-microSD), areader 204, and anantenna 206. Theconverter module 202 can include any software, hardware, and/or firmware that converts between card-processable signals and signals compatible with themobile device 106. In the illustrated example, theconverter module 202 converts between SD signals and USB signals. Thereader 204 can include any software, hardware, and/or firmware that verifies or otherwise determines user information such as biometric information. In the illustrated example, thereader 204 determines fingerprints of a user and may verify whether the user has access to thecard 104. In addition, thereader 204 may pass the biometric information to an application on the mobile device 106 (through theconverter 202 and/or the connector) for, for example, to securely verify the identity of the device holder. Themobile host device 106 may include biometric identity verification for applications such as mobile banking. In some implementations, an application can use thebiometric reader 204 to first register the user's biometric identity on first use and thereafter match the biometric identity of the device holder with the registered biometric identity. The secure storage of the biometric identity for the user may be provided by the removablesecure card 104 or could be located on a special secure memory embedded in the cover. For example, when theuser changes devices 106, the identity footprint may be erased from the initial device (if he removes thecover 102 and the card 104). In addition, another application running on the CPU of thecover 102 may also use the biometric data to secure access to certain features and/or services. Theantenna 206 may wirelessly transmit and receive RF signals associated with thecard 104. In the transaction-card implementations, theantenna 206 may extend the transaction range of thecard 104 for wirelessly executing transactions.FIG. 2B is another illustration of a cross-sectional view of thecover 102. In this view, aconnector 208 of themobile device 106 is illustrated. For example, theconnector 208 may be an iDock connector of an iPhone having 30 pins.FIG. 2C is yet another cross sectional view of thecover 102. In this view, thecover 102 includes the openings 214A and 214B for speakers included with themobile device 106 and acavity 212 for connecting a power supply to theconnector 112 and theconnector 208. In this case, themobile device 106 may be charged using theconnector 208 without removing thecover 102. -
FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrate different implementations of theslot 110. InFIG. 3A , theslot 110 may be formed in thecover 102 such that acard 104 may be inserted and removed without lifting or otherwise removing at least a portion of thecover 102. InFIG. 3B , theslot 110 is formed on the inside of thecover 102 such that the cover is at least partially lifted or otherwise removed to insert and remove thecard 104. -
FIG. 4 illustrates some implementations of theconvert module 202 that converts between USB and SD signals. As illustrated, theconverter module 202 may receive a plurality of inputs associated with thecard 104 and convert the signals to a form compatible with theconnector 208 of themobile device 106. In some implementations, theconverter module 202 may convert, for example, between data formats. In some implementations, theconverter module 202 may pass inputs to corresponding outputs such as for VDD and GND. -
FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating anexample service system 500 for receiving broadcast signals using an intelligent card. For example, thesystem 500 may include a SecureDigital (SD) card that receives broadcast signals (e.g., terrestial digital video broadcast) and presents content through a mobile host device based, at least in part, on the received broadcast signals. Broadcast signals may include terrestrial and/or satellite signals that encode images, audio, video, and/or other content. For example, the broadcast signals may be Digital Video Broadcasting—Handheld (DVB-H), DVB-H2, Digital Video Broadcasting—Satellite services to Handhelds (DVB-SH), Forward Link Only (FLO), Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB), Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS), satellite radio, and/or others. Aside from SD, thesystem 500 may include other interfaces that connect an intelligent card to the host device such as, for example, MultiMediaCard (MMC), miniSD, microSD, Universal Serial Bus (USB), Apple iDock, Firewire, and/or others. An intelligent card may be a device configured to insert into or otherwise attach to a mobile host device and access or otherwise receiving broadcast signals (e.g., e.g., satellite radio) independent of the mobile host device. In some implementations, the intelligent card may be shaped as a microSD card, miniSD card, or microSD card including, for example, notches, raised portions and/or other features. In some implementations, thesystem 500 may modify, translate, or otherwise convert received broadcast signals to a form processable by or otherwise native to themobile host device 106. In converting the signal protocols, thesystem 500 may present media content otherwise foreign to themobile device 106. Foreign, as used herein, means any component, object, value, variable, content and/or data and/or data schema that is not directly processable, accessible, receivable or otherwise capable of communicating with themobile devices 106. In some implementations, the conversion of the foreign content to compatible forms may be transparent to the user of themobile device 106. By providing an intelligent card, thesystem 500 may access foreign content without either requiring additional hardware, software, and/or firmware in the mobile host device. - At a high level, the
system 500 includes themobile devices 106 a and 102 b and the content provider 504 coupled to thenetwork 108. Themobile device 106 includes aGUI 116 for providing presenting content and aservice card 104 for independently converting foreign content to forms compatible with themobile device 106. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may selectively switch antenna on and off in response to an event such as a selection of a graphical element using theGUI 116. Thenetwork 108 includes acontent distribution stations service cards 110. - Each
mobile device 106 comprises an electronic device operable to interface with theservice card 104. For example, themobile device 106 may receive and transmit wireless and/or wireless communication with thesystem 500. As used in this disclosure, themobile devices 106 are intended to encompass cellular phones, data phones, pagers, portable computers, SIP phones, smart phones, personal data assistants (PDAs), digital cameras, MP3 players, camcorders, video player, game player, one or more processors within these or other devices, or any other suitable processing devices capable of communicating information with theservice card 104. In some implementations, themobile devices 106 may be based on a cellular radio technology. For example, themobile device 106 may be a PDA operable to wirelessly connect with an external or unsecured network. In another example, themobile device 106 may comprise a smartphone that includes an input device, such as a keypad, touch screen, mouse, or other device that can accept information, and an output device that conveys information associated with a transaction with the provider 504, including digital data, visual information, orGUI 116. - The
GUI 116 comprises a graphical user interface operable to allow the user of themobile device 106 to interface with at least a portion of thesystem 500 for any suitable purpose, such as viewing content channels and/or displaying the Electronic Service Guide (ESG). Generally, theGUI 116 provides the particular user with an efficient and user-friendly presentation of data provided by or communicated within thesystem 500 and/or also an efficient and user-friendly means for the user to self-manage settings and access channels offered by the content provider 504. TheGUI 116 may comprise a plurality of customizable frames or views having interactive fields, pull-down lists, and/or buttons operated by the user. The term graphical user interface may be used in the singular or in the plural to describe one or more graphical user interfaces and each of the displays of a particular graphical user interface. TheGUI 116 can include any graphical user interface, such as a generic media player or touch screen, that processes information in thesystem 500 and presents the results to the user. - The
service card 104 can include any software, hardware, and/or firmware configured to receive broadcast signals from thedistribution stations 112. For example, theservice card 104 may receive content broadcasted by the content provider 504 and translate, map or otherwise convert the received content to forms viewable with themobile device 106. In some implementations, theservice card 104 can present received content through theGUI 116. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may include one or more chipsets that execute an operating system and security processes to receive broadcast signals independent of themobile host device 106. In doing so, themobile device 106 may not require additional hardware, software, and/or firmware to present foreign content such as digital TV, IP-TV, satellite radio, satellite TV, and/or other broadcast services. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may execute one or more of the following: wirelessly receive signals broadcasted by thedistribution stations 112; determine subscription levels of thecard 104 based, at least in part, on locally-stored user information; descramble content available to the user in accordance with the subscription levels; translate between broadcast protocols (e.g., DVB, FLO, MBMS, DMB) and protocols compatible with theservice card 104; translate between service-card protocols and protocols compatible withmobile device 106; present broadcasted content for viewing through theGUI 116; execute applications locally stored in theservice card 104; selectively switch the antenna on and off based, at least in part, on one or more events; authenticate user based, at least in part, on information locally stored in theservice card 104; present the Electronic Service Guide application for the user through theGUI 116 for selection of available channels; present menu options for managing recordable content and configuring options for the personal video recorder application viaGUI 116; present the personal video recorder application for viewing of recorded content viaGUI 116; and/or others. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may receive a broadcast signal in response to at least a user selecting a graphical element in theGUI 116. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may selectively switch the antenna between an on and off state in response to one or more events (e.g., user request, completion of broadcast, change of host device, change of network connection of the host device, change of location). Theservice card 104 may include a communication module with a protocol translation module, antenna tuning circuit, power circuit and a miniature antenna tuned to receive broadcast signals. - In some implementations, the
service card 104 may initiate receiving to a broadcast signal in response to at least a user selecting a graphical element in theGUI 116. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may selectively switch the antenna between an on and off state in response to one or more events. The one or more events may include a user request, completion of broadcasted content, insertion ofcard 104 in a different mobile device, location change, timer events, detection of incorrect user ID and password entered by the user, message received from the content provider 504 using a broadcast/cellular signal, and/or others. For example, theservice card 104 may receive one or more commands to switch the antenna off from the distribution station 512 or from the broadcast/cellular core network. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may request user identification such as a PIN, a user ID and password combination, biometric signature, and/or others. - In regards to translating between protocols, the
service card 104 may process information in, for example, ISO 7816, a stand security protocol, and/or others. In this case, theservice card 104 may translate between a broadcast protocol and the service-card protocol. Broadcast protocols may include DVB, DMB, FLO and/or MBMS. In some implementations, ISO 7816 commands may be encapsulated within interface commands used to transmit data between themobile host device 106 and thecard 104. In addition, theservice card 104 may interface themobile device 106 through a physical interface such as MicroSD, Mini-SD SD, MMC, miniMMC, microMMC, USB, miniUSB, microUSB, firewire, Apple iDock, and/or others. In regard to security processes, theservice card 104 may implement one or more Conditional Access Systems (VideoGuard, Irdeto Access, Nagravision, Conax, Viaccess and Mediaguard (a.k.a. SECA)). The CAS may use encryption algorithms to descramble or otherwise decrypt broadcast signals to determine encoded content. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may execute private key (symmetric algorithms) such as Data Encryption Standard (DES), Triple DES (TDES) and/or others or public key (asymmetric algorithms) such as RSA, elliptic curves, and/or others to implement the chosen CAS system compliant with the service provider. For example, theservice card 104 may include one or more encryption keys such as public-private keys. In addition, theservice card 104 may include memory (e.g., Flash, EEPROM) including a secured token accessible by the content providers 504 to store access rights of the user. Theservice card 104 may also store user data, applications, offline Webpages, and/or other information. For example, theservice card 104 may include a secure token that identifies content that the user subscribes to or can otherwise access. In addition, theservice card 104 may execute or otherwise include digital rights management technology to substantially prevent illegal copying, storing or distributing or other violations of digital rights. - The
service card 104 may present content (e.g., audio, video) to the user using theGUI 116. In response to initiating foreign-content access, theservice card 104 may automatically present an offline Web page through theGUI 116. In some implementations, the offline Web page can be associated with a content provider 504. In some implementations, theservice card 104 can be backward compatible and operate as a mass storage device. For example, if the wireless interface of theservice card 104 is not available or deactivated, theservice card 104 may operate as a mass storage device enabling users to access data stored in the memory component (e.g., Flash). In some implementations, theservice card 104 can execute a set of initialization commands in response to at least insertion into themobile device 106. These initialization commands may include determining device related information for the mobile device 106 (e.g., device ID, device capabilities), determining user relating information (e.g., user ID and password), incrementing counters, setting flags and activating/deactivating functions according to pre-existing rules and/or algorithms. - In some implementations, the
service card 104 may automatically execute one or more fraud control processes. For example, theservice card 104 may identify an operational change and automatically deactivate thecard 104. Theservice card 104 may execute two fraud control processes: (1) determine a violation of one or more rules; and (2) automatically execute one or more actions in response to at least the violation. In regards to rules, theservice card 104 may locally store rules associated with updates to operational aspects of theservice card 104. For example, theservice card 104 may store a rule indicating a change inmobile host device 106 is an operational violation. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may store rules based, at least in part, on updates to one or more of the following: device ID; subscription period; registration information; CAS parameters; and/or other aspects. In response to one or more events matching or otherwise violating rules, theservice card 104 may execute one or more processes to substantially prevent access to broadcasted content. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may execute a command based, at least in part, on an event type. For example, theservice card 104 may re-execute an activation process in response to at least a specified event type. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may execute a command to disconnect theGUI 116 from theservice card 104. Theservice card 104 may present a disconnection notification through theGUI 116 prior to executing the command. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may provide options for the user to configure a rule table (PVR rule table) related to the personal video recorder application. This may allow the user to specify rules according to which content is automatically recorded by the service card. - In regards to accessing broadcasted services, the interface between the
service card 104 and the station 512 may be DVB-H, DMB, MBMS, or FLO for Mobile-TV and Sirius/XM for Satellite Radio or other digital Mobile-TV and/or satellite broadcast interfaces. Based on the PVR Rule Table, theservice card 104 may receive content from the broadcast content provider 504 and store the content in real-time to the memory. The content player of themobile device 106 may then access the stored content using, for example, a media player and access to theGUI 116. The antenna mode of theservice card 104 may be set to physical authentication only because theservice card 104 may use themobile device 106 to present video and/or audio. The secure element of theservice card 104 may operate as set-top box (CAS token). In this implementation, the secure element my operate in two different roles as illustrated in Table 1 below. -
TABLE 1 DVB-H/MediaFLO or other Mobile-TV XM/Sirius or other Satellite Radio Broadcast Broadcast Digital TV transmissions are generally scrambled to This is a simpler case where the satellite radio allow content providers and content providers to content providers may offer service to users who offer pay-per-use and tiered subscription services to have purchased a particular subscription plan. Only the end users. In order to perform this capability, protection applicable here-in is hence the service there are two types of protection that may be protection which would be implemented by the implemented: secure element. The secure element will store an a) Service Protection: In this case, subscription active subscription for the end-user which will related access rights are stored on a secure token enable the plug-in to securely receive transmission (such as the smart card in Cable or Satellite Set-top and produce output boxes). As and when a user purchases a premium channel/package or pay-per-use event, access right to the same is downloaded to this secure token. The algorithms and method of protection are generally provider dependent and in generally referred to as the CAS (Conditional Access System). The secure element in the plug-in, being a secure token, will host the CAS algorithm compliant with the content provider and the access keys management that are managed dynamically depending on the content subscribed to by the end-user b) Content Protection: In this case, the content download contains digital rights management technology wherein it cannot be illegally copied, stored or distributed. If required by the content provider, the secure element will implement the required DRM scheme of the content provider such that the content downloaded or viewed is used by the end-user according to the restrictions imposed by the content provider
The table is for illustration purposes only. The activation of theservice card 104 may include some, all, or different aspects of the chart. - In some implementations, the user may acquire the
service card 104 when subscribing to a content provider's broadcast content service. The activation process may depend on whether themobile device 106 includes an interface such as a screen, a keyboard and internet access. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may be activated online or offline. Online activation may occur when thedevice 106 includes an interface such as screen, keyboard and wireless internet access (Cellphone, laptop or Wireless PDA), offline activation may occur when adevice 106 does not include internet capability or doesn't have a screen/keyboard (MP3/4 players). These two activation processes are illustrated below in Table 2. -
TABLE 2 Online Activation Offline Activation When the device has internet access and has a In this case, the user may cradle his device to the PC screen/keyboard, it is assumed to have an internet that has an internet access and launch the included browser and capable of browsing to any URL. In activation software. This software will take the user this case, when the plug-in inserts, it performs the to the content provider's landing page to perform plug-in bootstrap and authentication process. Once the registration and activation process. successful, the device is able to take the user to a landing page on a browser where the user can perform the registration and activation process.
The table is for illustration purposes only. The activation of theservice card 104 may include some, all, or different aspects of the chart. - In some implementations, the
service card 104 may operate as a personal video recorded (PVR). For example, theservice card 104 may include GBs of flash memory that may store multimedia content. Theservice card 104 may include a microcontroller sufficiently strong to operate a recording process while streaming the content to the content player on themobile device 106 at the same time. Theservice card 104 may include an application residing on a protected area of the memory that would run a PVR and an Electronic Service Guide (ESG) application to enable a user to review the content program and select the programs recording. The DVR and ESG application may enable playing back the recorded content from the memory. In comparison, theservice card 104 may include a stronger microcontroller that has an internal clock (e.g., an ARM series processor). Theservice card 104 may include a special form factor that allows the SD interface to connect to a SD to USB adaptor for laptop use. In some implementations, theservice card 104 includes a secure element OS to enable the functionality described above. Theservice card 104 may implement a CAS algorithm based on content provider's specification. The secure element OS may structure data in the secure element to enable storage of subscription data for the end user. The microcontroller OS may be capable of personalizing the secure element by loading/updating user subscription parameters. In addition, the microcontroller OS may be capable of presenting theservice card 104 as SD mass storage to themobile device 106. In addition to operating the memory, secure element, the broadcast receiver chipset and the antenna availability, the microcontroller OS may implement a very fast content writing function on the memory in real-time, receive the ESG in real-time from thebroadcast content provider 204, and interact with the host device's content player to display the content. The secure element may operate as the CAS and subscription storage token because of cryptographic capabilities. The device application section may be used to store provider specific applications that operate from this segment of the memory or are installed on themobile device 106 from this segment of the memory. - In some implementations, the
service card 104 may include broadcast applications and WAN connectivity. In this case, the user may perform payment to a third party by connecting over the internet and/or performing peer-to-peer payment by connecting to another user with the same functionality. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may include broadcast applications and broadcast reception capabilities. In this case, the user may purchase content in real-time and pay for merchandise advertised over the broadcast content in real-time. - The
content distribution network 108 facilitates wireless or wired communication between the content providers 504 and any other local or remote computer. Thedistribution network 108 may be all or a portion of an enterprise or secured network. While illustrated as single network, thedistribution network 108 may be a continuous network logically divided into various sub-nets or virtual networks without departing from the scope of this disclosure, so long as at least a portion ofdistribution network 108 may facilitate communications of transaction information between the content providers 504. In some implementations, thedistribution network 108 encompasses any internal or external network, networks, sub-network, or combination thereof operable to facilitate communications between various computing components insystem 500.Network 108 may communicate, for example, Internet Protocol (IP) packets, Frame Relay frames, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) cells, voice, video, data, and other suitable information between network addresses.Network 108 may include one or more local area networks (LANs), radio access networks (RANs), metropolitan area networks (MANs), wide area networks (WANs), all or a portion of the global computer network known as the Internet, and/or any other communication system or systems at one or more locations. In some implementations, thedistribution network 108 include the content providers 504 a-c. - Content providers 504 a-c comprises an electronic device (e.g., computing device) operable to broadcast content. In some implementation, the content providers 504 can provide broadcast signals that encodes content displayable by the
service card 104. The content providers 504 may transmit one or more of the following: serial programs (e.g., television series), movies, news, opinions, education content, training, sports events, Web pages; advanced blogging sites, travel-related content, food and/or cooking content; entertainment; topical movies and/or videos (e.g., surfing, sailing, racing, extreme sports, etc.); political content (e.g., campaigning); adult content; court and/or trail programming; local-government content (e.g., C-SPAN); local programming (e.g., Wayne's World); performing arts (e.g., theater, concerts, music videos, etc.); virtual shopping malls; satellite radio content (audio only channels); and/or other content. The provided content may be in any suitable format such as MPEG, streaming, MP3, realtime, WMV, and/or others. In the illustrated implementation, the content providers 504 includes a conditional access module 124 for authenticating a user and associated privileges prior to providing access to services. For example, the CAS module 124 may transmit a request for information associated with the user such as subscriber ID, receiver ID, PIN, username and password, and/or other information. Based, at least in part, on information associated with the user information, the CAS module 124 may determine available services, content, level of services, and/or other aspects of the requested foreign service. - In some implementations, the
service card 104 may operate in accordance with one or more of the following modes: active receiver; self train; killed; memory; inactive; and/or other modes. Theservice card 104 may operate active-receiver mode to present theservice card 104 as a broadcast receiver. In this mode, theservice card 104 may execute applications access broadcast services through thebroadcast network 108. After the antenna of theservice card 104 is activated in this mode, thenetwork 108 may detect the presence of theservice card 104. In this implementation, themobile device 106 may not require additional software to access the services. - In regards to the self-train mode, the
service card 104 may receive personalization information from another receiver. In some implementations, the self-train mode can be activated by a special action (e.g., a needle point press to a small switch, entry of an administrative password via the GUI 116). In response to at least activating this mode, theservice card 104 may be configured to receive personalization data over, for example, the short range wireless interface from another peer service card or a wired connection with the home broadcast receiver. Personalization data received in this mode may include encrypted information that is stored in secured memory of theservice card 104. In some implementations, theservice card 104 in this mode may receive the information through a wireless interface of a transmitter and/or others. Theservice card 104 may then synthesize the information that corresponds to the user account and personalize an internal security module that includes, for example, service applications for accessing services from theGUI 116 and associated user credentials. The self-train mode may be used to re-personalize theservice card 104 in the field. In some implementations, all previous data can be deleted if the self-train mode is activated. The self-train mode may be a peer-to-peer personalization mode where thecard 104 may receive personalization information from anotherservice card 104. This mode may represent an additional personalization mode as compared with factory, store and/or Over-The-Air (OTA) personalization scenarios which may be server to client personalization scenarios. In some implementations, the self-train mode may be a peer-to-peer personalization mode where theservice card 104 receives personalization information from another service card. Since twoservice cards 110 are used in this mode, this mode may be different from a server-to-client personalization scenario as with a factory, store, and OTA personalization. - In regards to the inactive mode, the
service card 104 may temporarily deactivate the wireless interface. In some implementations, the inactive mode can be activated through the physical interface with themobile device 106 such as a SD interface. In response to at least the activation of the inactive mode, theservice card 104 may temporarily behave as only a mass-memory card. In some implementations, thecard 104 may also enter this state when the reset needle point is pressed. In this mode, theservice card 104 may preserve locally-stored information including user information. In this mode, theservice card 104 may execute the activation process and if successful may return to the active mode. The content provider 504 may use this mode to temporarily prevent usage in response to at least identifying at least potentially fraudulent activity. - In regards to the killed mode, the
service card 104 may permanently deactivate the wireless interface. In some implementations, the killed mode is activated through the physical interface with themobile device 106 such as a SD interface. In response to at least the activation of the killed mode, theservice card 104 may permanently behaves as a mass memory stick. In the event that the reset needle point is pressed, theservice card 104 may, in some implementations, not be made to enter any other modes. In addition, theservice card 104 may delete user information in memory in response to at least this mode being activated. In some implementations, the providers 504 may use this mode to delete data from aservice card 104 that is physically lost but still connected to thebroadcast network 108. - In regards to the memory mode, the
service card 104 may operate as a mass memory stick such that the memory is accessible through conventional methods. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may automatically activate this mode in response to at least being removed from the host device, inserted into a non-authorized host device, and/or other events. Theservice card 104 may be switched to active mode from the memory mode by, for example, inserting thecard 104 into an authorized device or may be switched from this mode into the self-train mode to re-personalize the device for a new host device or a new user account. In some implementations, the memory mode may operate substantially same as the inactive mode. - In some implementations, the
service card 104 may be re-personalized/updated such as using software device management process and/or a hardware reset. For example, the user may want to re-personalize theservice card 104 to change host devices, to have multiple host devices, and/or other reasons. In regards to the software device management, the user may need to cradle the new host device with theservice card 104 inserted to launch the software device management application. In some implementations, the software management application can be an application directly installed on a client, integrated as a plug-in to a normal synchronization application such as ActiveSync, available via a browser plug-in running on the plug-in provider's website, and/or other sources. The user may log into the application and verify their identity, and in response to verification, the application may allow access to a devices section in the device management application. The device management application may read theservice card 104 and display the MAC addresses, signatures of the devices that he has inserted his plug-in to, and/or other device specific information. Themobile device 106 may be marked as active and the host device may be shown as disallowed or inactive. The application may enable the user to update the status of the new host device, and in response to at least the selection, the device management application may install the signature on the new host device and mark update the status as allowable in secure memory of theservice card 104. The user may be able to also update the status of themobile device 106 to disallowed. Otherwise, both devices may be active and theservice card 104 may be switched between the two devices. In regards to the hardware reset process, the use may use the reset needle point press on thephysical service card 104 to activate the self-train mode. In this mode, the user data may be deleted and have to be reloaded. When theservice card 104 is inserted into the new host device, the provisioning process may begin as discussed above. - In some aspects of operation, the content provider 504 may transmit information to the
mobile host device 106 using theservice card 104 in response to at least an event. The information may include, for example, service information (e.g., access history), scripts, applications, Web pages, and/or other information associated with the content provider 504. The event may include completing access to a service, determining aservice card 104 is outside the operating range of abroadcast network 108, receiving a request from a user of the mobile host device, and/or others. For example, the content provider 504 may identify amobile host device 106 associated with acard 104 that accessed a service and transmit service information to theservice card 104 using the broadcast orcellular core network 108. In addition or alternatively, the content provider 504 may request information from themobile host device 106, theservice card 104 and/or the user using the broadcast orcellular core network 108. For example, the content provider 504 may transmit a request to update the Electronic Service Guide to thecard 104 through the broadcast orcellular core network 108. -
FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating anexample service card 104 in accordance with some implementations of the present disclosure. In general, theservice card 104 may independently receive broadcast signals to present through theGUI 116 of themobile host device 106. Theservice card 104 is for illustration purposes only and may include some, all, or different elements without departing from the scope of the disclosure. - As illustrated, the
service card 104 includes anantenna 602, an Antenna Control Function (ACF)module 604, abroadcast receiver 606, a set-top module 608, aCPU 610 andmemory 612. Theantenna 602 receives wireless broadcast signals such as satellite radio and/or TV. In some implementations, theACF module 604 can selectively switch theantenna 602 between an active state and an inactive state in response to at least an event. A switching event may include a user selection through theGUI 116. In some implementations, the switching event may be based, at least in part, on operational aspects of themobile host device 106 such as completion of presentation of multimedia. In addition, theACF module 604 may dynamically adjust the impedance of theantenna 602 to tune the receive frequency. TheACF module 604 may selectively switch theantenna 602 on and off in response to at least a command from theCPU 610. In some implementations, theantenna 602 can be connected through a logic gate to allow for code from theCPU 610 to turn theantenna 602 on and off through theACF module 604. - The
receiver 606 can include any software, hardware, and/or firmware configured to receive broadcast signals using theantenna 602. For example, thereceiver 606 may convert broadcast signals to set top module processable signals. In some implementations, thereceiver 606 may translate a broadcast protocol to a security protocol. For example, thereceiver 606 may translate to ISO 7816, a stand security protocol, and/or others. Broadcast signals may include DVB, DMB, FLO and/or MBMS. In some implementations, ISO 7816 commands may be encapsulated within interface commands used to transmit data between themobile host device 106 and thecard 104. - The set-
top module 608 can include any software, hardware, and/or firmware configured to unscramble broadcast signals to a form displayable through theGUI 110. For example, the set-top module 608 may launch the CAS application to unscramble the broadcast signal to determine encoded content and decrypt the encoded content to a presentable form (e.g., MPEG 4). In some implementations, the set-top module 608 may authenticate one or more aspects of the mobile host device, user, and/orcard 104. In some implementations, the set-top module 608 may authenticate a user by verifying a physical connection with a user using user information such as user ID and password, biometric information (e.g., fingerprint), a PIN entered by the user, a x.509 type certificate that is unique to the user and stored on thehost device 110, and/or other processes. For example, the set-top module 608 may compare user information provided through theGUI 116 with user information stored in thelocal memory 612. Alternatively or in addition, the set-top module 608 may authenticate themobile host device 106 by comparing a device signature with a locally-stored certificate. In some implementations, the user can select a user-id and password or PIN or certificate at provisioning time. If this case, theCPU 610 may instantiate a software plug-in on the host device. For example, a software plug-in may request the user for his user-id and password or PIN in real time, read a user certificate installed on the device (e.g., x.509), and/or others. The operation of the software plug-in may be customized by the provider. Regardless, the returned user data may be compared with user data stored in thememory 612. In case of a successful match, theACF module 604 may activate theantenna 602. In case of an unsuccessful match of a certificate and/or user information, thecard 104 is deactivated. In case of unsuccessful user ID and password match, the user may be requested to repeat user-id and password attempts until a successful match or the number of attempts exceeds a threshold. The card provider may customize the attempt threshold. - In some implementations, the set-
top module 608 may implement one or more Conditional Access Systems with accompanying encryption algorithms to decode broadcast signals. For example, the set-top module 608 may include or otherwise identify a one or more keys for decoding broadcast content. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may execute private key (symmetric algorithms) such as Data Encryption Standard (DES), Triple DES (TDES) and/or others or public key (asymmetric algorithms) such as RSA, elliptic curves, and/or others. For example, theservice card 104 may include one or more encryption keys such as public-private keys. In connection with decoding signals, the CAS in the set-top module 608 may identify a subscription profile identifying content available to the user. For example, the CAS in the set-top module 608 may determine one or more broadcast channels available to the user and decode one of the available broadcast channels for presenting through the GUI. The settop box 608 may present the Electronic Service Guide to the user through the GUI. The Electronic Service Guide may not only present the choice of channels available to the user but may also make available a detailed listing of programming content available on each channel. The Electronic Service Guide may also interface to the Personal Video Recorder application in the card and provide options to the user to set up timers to record certain programs. The Electronic Service Guide may also be periodically updated by the service provider through the set top box. - The
CPU 610 can include any software, hardware, and/or firmware that manages operational aspects of thecard 104 independent of themobile host device 106. For example, theCPU 610 may include a runtime environment for executing broadcast applications for accessing foreign content encoded in broadcast signals. In some implementations, theCPU 610 may execute one or more of the following: interfacing themobile host device 106 such as translating between protocols; determining operational aspects of themobile host device 106; transmitting commands to themobile host device 106 to substantially control one or more hardware components (e.g.,GUI 116, memory); identifying events associated with activating and deactivating theantenna 602; executing broadcast applications that present foreign content from theGUI 116; executing media protocol conversion to adapt the content according to the capabilities of the media player accessible through the GUI, execute the PVR application to record content on the flash memory of the card, provide access to stored content on the flash memory, manage the set top box using ISO 7816 interface, mange the broadcast chipset using a high-speed IP interface, manage the memory using a standard memory controller interface; and/or others. In some implementations, theCPU 610 may transmit to theACF module 604 switching commands in response to an event such as a user request, completion of a transaction, and/or others. In some implementations, theCPU 610 may switch theantenna 602 between active and inactivate mode using theACF module 604 based, at least in part, on a personalization parameter defined by, for example, a user, distributor (e.g., content provider), and/or others. For example, theCPU 610 may activate theantenna 602 when theservice card 104 is physically connected to a host device and when a handshake with the host device is successfully executed. In some implementations, theCPU 610 may automatically deactivate theantenna 602 when theservice card 104 is removed from the host device. In regards to the handshaking process, theCPU 610 may execute one or more authentication processes prior to activating theservice card 104 and/orantenna 602 as illustrated inFIG. 11 . For example, theCPU 610 may execute a physical authentication, a device authentication, and/or a user authentication. For example, theCPU 610 may activate theantenna 602 in response to at least detecting a connection to the physical interface with the host device (e.g., SD interface) and successful installation of the device driver for mass memory access (e.g., SD device driver) on the host device. In some implementations, device authentication may include physical authentication in addition to a signature comparison of a device signature stored inmemory 612 that was created during first-use (provisioning) to a run-time signature calculated using, for example, a unique parameter of thehost device 106. In the event no host device signature exists in thememory 612, theCPU 610 may bind with the firstcompatible host device 106 that thecard 104 is inserted into. Acompatible host device 106 may be a device that can successfully accomplish physical authentication successfully. If a host-device signature is present in thememory 612, theCPU 610 may compare the stored signature with the real-time signature of thecurrent host device 106. If the signatures match, theCPU 610 may proceed to complete the bootstrap operation. If the signatures do not match,host device 106 may be rejected, bootstrap is aborted and thecard 104 may be returned to the mode it was before being inserted into the device. - The
memory 612 may include a secure and non-secured section. In this implementation, thesecure memory 612 may store one or more user credentials that are not accessible by the user. In addition, thememory 612 may store offline Web pages, applications, service history, and/or other data. In some implementations, thememory 612 may include Flash memory from 64 MB to 32 GB. In addition, thememory 612 may be partitioned into user memory and device application memory. Thememory 612 may store signatures of allowed host devices and/or antenna modes. In some implementations, thememory 612 may include secure portions designed to be accessible only by the content provider. -
FIG. 7 illustrates is a block diagram illustrating anexample CPU 610 ofFIG. 6 in accordance with some implementations of the present disclosure. In general, theCPU 610 includes personalized modules that receive foreign content independent of themobile device 106. The illustratedCPU 610 is for example purposes only, and theCPU 610 may include some, all or different modules without departing from the scope of this disclosure. - In some implementations, the
service card 104 can include ahost controller 702, a real-time framework 704, abroadcast application 706, a real-time OS 708, a highspeed IP interface 710, amemory controller 712, and asecurity module driver 714. In some implementations, thehost controller 702 includes an interface layer, an API/UI layer, a Web server, and/or other elements associated with themobile host device 106. Thehost controller 702 includes interfaces to the host device, i.e., physical connection. In regards to the physical interface, thehost controller 702 may physically interface themobile device 106 using an SD protocol such as MicroSD, Mini-SD or SD (full-size). In some implementations, the physical interface may include a converter/adapter to convert between two different protocols based, at least in part, on themobile device 106. In some implementations, themobile device 106 may communicate using protocols such as USB, MMC, Firewire, iPhone proprietary interface, and/or others. In addition, thehost controller 702 may include any software, hardware, and/or firmware that operates as an API between themobile device 106 and theservice card 104. Prior to accessing services, theservice card 104 may automatically install drivers in themobile device 106 in response to at least insertion. For example, theservice card 104 may automatically install a microSD device driver in thedevice 106 to enable theservice card 104 to interface themobile device 106. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may install an enhanced device driver such as a Mass Memory with Radio (MMR) API. In this implementation, the interface can drive a class of plug-ins that contain mass memory as well as a radio interface. The MMR API may execute one or more of the following: connect/disconnect to/from the MMR controller (Microcontroller in the plug-in); transfer data using MM protocol (e.g., SD, MMC, XD, USB, Firewire); send encrypted data to the MMR controller; receive Acknowledgement of Success or Error; received status word indicating description of error; turn radio on/off; send instruction to theservice card 104 to turn the antenna on with specifying the mode of operation (e.g., sending mode, listening mode); transmit data such as send instruction to controller to transmit data via the radio; listen for data such as send instruction to controller to listen for data; read data such as send instruction to controller to send the data received by the listening radio; and/or others. In some implementations, MMR can be compliant with TCP/IP. In some implementations, API encapsulated ISO 7816 commands may be processed by the security module in addition to other commands. - In some implementations,
host controller 702 can operate in accordance with the two processes: (1) theservice card 104 as the master and themobile device 106 as the slave; and (2) the card UT as the master. In the first process, thehost controller 702 may pass one or more commands to themobile device 106 in response to, for example, insertion of theservice card 104 into a slot in themobile device 106, a request from theGUI 116, and/or other events. In some implementations, thehost controller 702 can request themobile device 106 to execute one or more of following functions: Get User Input; Get Signature; Display Data; Send Data; Receive Data; and/or others. The Get User Input command may present a request through theGUI 116 for data from the user. In some implementations, the Get User Input may present a request for multiple data inputs. The data inputs may be any suitable format such as numeric, alphanumeric, and/or other strings of characters. The Get Signature command may request themobile device 106 to return identification data such as, for example, a phone number, a device ID like an IMEI code or a MAC address, a network code, a subscription ID like the SIM card number, a connection status, location information, Wi-Fi beacons, GPS data, and/or other device specific information. The Display Data command may present a dialog to the user through theGUI 116. In some implementations, the dialog can disappear after a period of time, a user selection, and/or other event. The Send Data command may request themobile device 106 to transmit packet data using its own connection to the external world (e.g., SMS, cellular, Wi-Fi). The Receive Data command may request themobile device 106 to open a connection channel with certain parameters and identify data received through the connection. In some implementations, the command can request themobile device 106 to forward any data (e.g., SMS) satisfying certain criteria to be forwarded to theservice card 104. - In regards to the UT as master, the
host controller 702 may execute one or more of the following commands: security module Command/Response; Activate/Deactivate; Flash Memory Read/Write; Send Data with or without encryption; Receive Data with or without decryption; URL Get Data/URL Post Data; and/or others. The security module commands may relate to security functions provided by the card and are directed towards the security module within the service card 104 (e.g., standard ISO 7816 command, proprietary commands). In some implementations, the commands may include encryption, authentication, provisioning of data, creation of security domains, update of security domain, update of user credentials after verification of key, and/or others. In some implementations, the commands may include non security related smart card commands such as, for example, read service history commands. The read service guide command may perform a read of the Electronic Service Guide data stored in thememory 612 of theservice card 104. In some implementations, certain flags or areas of thememory 612 may be written to after security verification. The Activate/Deactivate command may activate or deactivate certain functions of theservice card 104. The Flash Memory Read/Write command may execute a read/write operation on a specified area of thememory 612. The Read command may be used by the Media Player to receive the streaming content selected by the user for viewing. The Send Data with or without encryption command may instruct themobile device 106 to transmit data using a wireless connection. In addition, the data may be encrypted by theservice card 104 prior to transmission using, for example, keys and encryption capability stored within the set-top module 608. The Receive Data with or without decryption command may instruct theservice card 104 to switch to listening mode to receive data from its wireless connection with thebroadcast network 108. In some implementations, data decryption can be requested by the security module using, for example, keys and decryption algorithms available on the security module, i.e., on-board decryption. The URL Get Data/URL Post Data command may instruct thehost controller 702 to return pages as per offline get or post instructions using, for example, offline URLs. - In some implementations, the
host controller 702 may assign or otherwise associate URL style addressing to certain files stored in the memory 612 (e.g., flash) of theservice card 104. In some implementations, thehost controller 702 can locate a file using the URL and returns the file to theGUI 116 using standard HTTP, HTTPS style transfer. In some implementations, the definition of the files can be formatted using standard HTML, XHTML, WML and/or XML style languages. The file may include links that point to additional offline storage locations in thememory 612 and/or Internet sites that themobile device 106 may access. In some implementations, thehost controller 702 may support security protocols such as SSL. Thehost controller 702 may transfer an application inmemory 612 to themobile device 106 for installation and execution. Thehost controller 702 may request the capabilities of the browser on thedevice 106 using, for example, the browser user agent profile, in order to customize the offline Web page according to the supported capabilities of the device and the browser, such as, for example, supported markup language, screen size, resolution, colors and such. - As part of the Real time OS, the real-
time framework 704 may execute one or more functions based, at least in part, on one or more periods of time. For example, the real-time framework 704 may enable an internal clock available on theCPU 610 to provide timestamps in response to at least requested events. The real-time framework 704 may allow certain tasks to be pre-scheduled such that the tasks are executed in response to at least certain time and/or event based triggers. This aspect is used by the Real Time OS to generate triggers to launch the Personal Video Recorder application, Set top box and the broadcast chipset to begin reception and recording of the content if the user set timer for content recording has been met. In some implementations, the real-time framework 704 may allow theCPU 610 to insert delays in certain transactions. In some implementation, a part of WAP standards called WTAI (Wireless Telephoney Application Interface) can be implemented to allow offline browser pages on thecard 104 to make use of functions offered by themobile device 106. - The
broadcast application 706 can include any software, hardware, and/or firmware that receive broadcast content. For example, thebroadcast application 706 may receive a request for content through the GUI and receive the associated broadcast signal in response to at least the request. In some implementations, thebroadcast application 706 may execute one or more of the following: transmit properties of theservice card 104; to the broadcast Content Distribution System; download the Electronic Service Guide data from the Broadcast Content Distribution System; tune the antenna to the right frequency based, at least in part, on selection made by the user via the Electronic Service Guide viewed on the GUI; receive the broadcasted content based, at least in part, on the subscription information; transmit user profile and authentication data to the content distribution system, receive instructions and data to update the Electronic Service Guide, receive request from the CPU to begin or end the broadcast reception; and/or other processes. In these case, thebroadcast application 710 may present media through theGUI 116 that is otherwise not accessible by themobile host device 106, i.e., foreign content. - The real-
time OS 708 may execute or otherwise include one or more of the following: real-time framework 704; a host process that implements the physical interface between the service-card CPU and themobile device 106; an interface that implements the physical interface between the service-card CPU and the security module; a memory-management process that implements the ISO 7816 physical interface between the service-card CPU and thememory 612; an application-layer process that implements the API and UT capabilities; theACF module 604; power management; and/or others. In some implementations, the real-time OS 708 may manage the physical interface between the service-card CPU and thememory 612 that includes memory segmentation to allow certain memory areas to be restricted access and/or data buffers/pipes. In some implementations, theCPU 610 may include aseparate memory controller 712 for managing thelocal memory 612. In some implementations, the real-time OS 708 may include a microcontroller OS configured to personalizing the set-top module 608 such as by, for example, converting raw data (account number, subscription information, user profile, receiver ID, CAS parameters) into secure encrypted information. In addition, the microcontroller OS may present thecard 104 as a microSD mass storage to thehost device 106. The microcontroller OS may partition thememory 612 into a user section and a protected device application section. In this example, the device application section may be used to store provider specific applications that either operate from this segment of the memory or are installed on thehost device 106 from this segment of the memory. - The high speed IP interface 318 may provide the hardware protocol implementation and/or drivers for digital streaming content corresponding to the broadcasting signals received by the broadcast receiver. For example, the through this high speed IP interface, the CPU may receive non-encrypted or non-scrambled digital streaming content associated with free or off-air or non-premium channels. In this case, this streaming content is directly made available to the media player of the host device after appropriate media protocol translation if required. For example, through this high speed IP interface, the CPU may receive encrypted or scrambled digital content associated with premium or subscription channels. In this case, the content is first sent to the set-top box for decoding and unscrambling and then forwarded to the media player after any appropriate media translation.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram 800 of personalization of a intelligent card (e.g., the service card 104). In particular, the intelligent card may be personalized prior to being issued to a user, i.e., pre-issuance, or after being issued to a user, i.e., post-issuance. In regards to pre-issuance, intelligent cards may be personalized in mass batches at, for example, a factory. In this example, each intelligent card may be loaded with user credentials, security framework, applications, offline Web pages, and/or other data. In some implementations, a intelligent card may be personalized individually at, for example, an electronics retailer branch. In this case, a intelligent card may be individually loaded with data associated with a user after, for example, purchasing the card. As for post issuance, the intelligent card may be personalized wirelessly. For example, theservice card 104 may be personalized through a cellular connection established using themobile device 106. In some implementations, an intelligent card may be personalized by synchronizing with a computer such as client. Theservice card 104 may receive from an enterprise at least associated with theservice GUI 116 that personalization data prior to activation including user credentials, broadcast applications, personal video recorder applications and at least one of operational flags, rule table or user interface. The personalization data present in the card may be updated after activation using at least one of the following methods: wireless or over the air messages containing special and secure update instructions; internet or client application running on a PC connected to theservice card 104 via the host device or a card reader; internet application wirelessly connecting to theservice card 104 via the host mobile device or user interface application of theservice card 104 itself, and/or other methods. - In some implementations, provisioning of the intelligent card can be based, at least in part, on the distribution entity (e.g., service provider, wireless operator, user). For example, the intelligent card may be distributed by a service provider such as a content provider (for example, DirecTV). In the service provider implementation, the intelligent card can be pre-provisioned with user accounts. In this case, the intelligent card may be activated in response to at least initial insertion into a host device. The antenna mode may be set to physical authentication only by default. In some examples, the user may self-select a user-id/password or PIN authentication to prevent unauthorized use or through a PC cradle and plug-in management software if the host device does not have a screen and keyboard. In the wireless-operator implementation, the intelligent card may require device authentication before activation. In some examples, the user may provision service data (e.g., subscriber profile) using one of several methods. In addition, the user may add user authentication. In the user-provided implementation, the user may acquire the intelligent card from, for example, a retail store or other channels like OEM host device manufacturers. In this case, the user may activate the card in a plurality of different devices with provider selected provisioning.
- In regards to activation, the intelligent card may be configured in memory mode when user acquires the card from, for example a content provider, a wireless operator, a third-party provider, and/or others. Activation of the card may include the following two levels: 1) physically, specifying antenna availability under a specific set of circumstances desired by the provider; and b) logically, at the service provider signifying activation of the broadcast application carried on the card. In some implementations, activation may be based, at least in part on device distributor, antenna availability selection, and/or type of host device as illustrated in Table 2 below.

The illustrated chart is for example purposes only. The user may activate an intelligent card using the same, some, or different processes without departing from the scope of this disclosure. -
FIG. 9 is a flow chart illustrating anexample method 900 for automatically bootstrapping an intelligent card in response to at least insertion into a host device. In general, an intelligent card may execute one or more authentication procedures prior to activation. Many of the steps in this flowchart may take place simultaneously and/or in different orders as shown.System 100 may use methods with additional steps, fewer steps, and/or different steps, so long as the methods remain appropriate. -
Method 900 begins atstep 902 where insertion into a host device is detected. For example, theservice card 104 may detect insertion into themobile device 106. If authentication is not required for any aspect of the intelligent card atdecisional step 904, then execution ends. If authentication is required for at least one aspect, then execution proceeds todecisional step 906. If communication with the host device includes one or more errors, then, atstep 908, a failure is indicated to the user. In the example, theservice card 104 may present an indication of a communication error to the user using theGUI 116. If a communication error is not detected atdecisional step 906, then execution proceeds todecisional step 910. In some implementations, the intelligent card uploads an SD driver to the host device. If the intelligent card only requires physical authentication, then execution proceeds todecisional step 912. If the network authentication flag is not set to on, then, atstep 914, the antenna is turned on and the intelligent card is updated with host-device signature. As for the example, theservice card 104 may activate the antenna for wireless transactions and update local memory with the host-device signature. If the network authentication flag is turned on atdecisional step 912, then, at step 916, the intelligent card transmits a request for the network ID to the host device. Next, atstep 918, the intelligent card retrieves a locally-stored network ID. If the stored network ID and the request network ID match atdecisional step 920, then the card is activated atstep 914. If the two network ID's do not match, then the antenna is deactivated atstep 922. - Returning to
decisional step 910, if the authentication is not only physical authentication, then execution proceeds todecisional step 924. If the authentication process includes device authentication, then, atstep 926, the intelligent card transmits a request for a network ID to the host device. Atstep 928, the intelligent card retrieves a locally stored device signatures. If the intelligent card does not include at least one device signature, then execution proceeds todecisional step 934. If the intelligent card includes one or more device signatures, then execution proceeds todecisional step 932. If one of the device signatures matches the request network ID, then execution proceeds todecisional step 934. If the signatures and the request network ID do not match, then execution proceeds to step 922 for deactivation. If user authentication is not included in the authentication process, then execution proceeds todecisional step 912 for physical authentication. If user authentication is included atdecisional step 934, then execution proceeds to step 938. - Returning to
decisional step 924, if the authentication process does not include device authentication, then execution proceeds todecisional step 936. If user authentication is not included in the process, then, atstep 922, the intelligent card is turned off. If user authentication is included, then, atstep 938, the intelligent card request a user id and password from the user using the host device. While the user authentication is described with respect to entering a user id and password through the mobile host device, the user may be authenticated using other information such as a simple PIN and/or biometric information (e.g., fingerprint). Again returning to the example, theservice card 104 may present a request for the user to enter a user-id and password through theGUI 116. Atstep 940, the intelligent card sends the entered information to the service provider using the cellular network or the broadcast network. If at the account information is validated by the service provider atdecisional step 942, then execution proceeds todecisional step 912 for physical authentication. If the account information is not validated atdecisional step 942, then execution proceeds todecisional step 944. If the number of attempts have not exceeded a specified threshold, then execution returns to step 938. If the number of attempts has exceed to the threshold, then the antenna is deactivated atstep 922. In the example, if the event that theservice card 104 fails to authorize the device, network and/or user, theservice card 104 may wirelessly transmit an indication to the associated service provider using the cellular radio technology of themobile host device 106. In this case, the illustratedmethod 900 may be implemented as a fraud control process to substantially prevent unauthorized use of theservice card 104. -
FIG. 1000 is a flow chart illustrating anexample method 1000 for activating a wireless transaction system including an intelligent card. In general, an intelligent card may execute one or more activation processes in response to, for example, a selection from a user. Many of the steps in this flowchart may take place simultaneously and/or in different orders as shown.System 500 may use methods with additional steps, fewer steps, and/or different steps, so long as the methods remain appropriate. -
Method 1000 begins atstep 1002 where a request to activate a service card is received. For example, the user may select a graphical element displayed through theGUI 116 of amobile host device 106 inFIG. 1 . If an account activation is included atdecisional step 1004, then atstep 1006, a request to activate the associated user account is wirelessly transmitted to service provider using broadcast radio technology of the host device. For example, theservice card 104 may wireless transmit an activation request to theservice GUI 116 using the cellular radio technology of themobile host device 106. If an account activation is not included, then execution proceeds todecisional step 1008. If card activation is not included, then execution ends. If card activation is included, then execution proceeds todecisional step 1010. If an activation code is not included, then atstep 1012, one or more preprogrammed questions are presented to the user using the GUI of the host device. Returning to the initial example, theservice card 104 may identify locally stored questions and present the questions to the user using theGUI 116 of themobile host device 106. Atstep 1014, locally-stored answers to the programmed questions are identified. Returning todecisional step 1010, if an activation code is included, then execution proceeds todecisional step 1016. If the activation code is manually entered by the user, then atstep 1018, a request for the activation code is presented to the user through the GUI of the mobile host device. In the initial example, theservice card 104 may present a request for an activation code such as a string of characters to the user through theGUI 116 of themobile host device 106. If the activation code is not manually entered by the user, then atstep 1020, the service card wirelessly transmits a request for the activation code using the cellular radio technology of the host device. In the broadcast example, theservice card 104 may transmit a request to the service provider using thecellular core network 108. In either case, the locally-stored activation code is identified atstep 1022. If the locally stored information matches the provided information atdecisional step 1024, then atstep 1026, the service card is activated. For example, theservice card 104 may activate in response to at least a user entering a matching activation code through theGUI 116. If the provided information does not match the locally stored information, then execution ends. -
FIGS. 11A-C is anexample call flow 1100 in accordance with some implementations of the present disclosure. As illustrated, theflow 1100 includes anetwork 1102, ahost device 1104, anintelligent card 1106, and abroadcast network 1108. Thehost device 1104 is configured to communicate with thenetwork 1102 and includes a slot for insertion of theintelligent card 1106. Theintelligent card 1106 is configured to transmit commands to and receive data from auser interface application 1110 executed by thehost device 1110 and execute access foreign services independent of thehost device 1110. Thecard 1106 includes aCPU 1112 for accessing services and a wireless chipset 1114 for communicating with thebroadcast network 1108. TheCPU 1112 executes a host controller/API interface 1116 configured to transmits commands in a form compatible with thehost device 1104 and convert data from thehost device 1104 to a form compatible with theCPU 1112. - As illustrated, the
flow 1100 may includemultiple sessions 1120 between thehost device 1104 and thecard 1106 and between thecard 1106 and thebroadcast network 1108. Thesession 1120 a illustrates a session managed by thecard 1106 using the network capabilities of thehost device 1110. In this example, thecard 1106 transmits data for transmission through a network connected to thehost device 1104, and after receiving the data, thehost device 1104 transmits the data to the network 802. In response to receiving data from thenetwork 1102, thehost device 1104 may automatically transmit the received data to thecard 1106. In some implementations, thecard 1106 may transmit a request for a device signature to thehost device 1104 as illustrated insession 1120 b. For example, thecard 1106 may request the device signature during a bootstrapping process. Thesession 1120 c illustrates that a user may submit commands to thecard 1106 through the interface of thehost device 1104. For example, the user may request that the card display the user's transaction history through the interface of thehost device 1104. - In some implementations, the
card 1106 may receive a command to activate or deactivate the antenna through thehost device 1104 as illustrated insession 1120 d. For example, a service provider may identify irregular transactions and transmit a command through thenetwork 1102 to deactivate thecard 1106. Thecard 1106 may authorize a user by requesting a user-id and password using thehost device 1104. As illustrated insession 1120 e, the user may submit a user-id and password to thecard 1106 using the interface of thehost device 1104, and in response to an evaluation of the submitted user-id and password, thecard 1106 may present through thehost device 1104 an indication that the user verification is successful or has failed. In some implementations, a user and/or service provider may request a transaction history of thecard 1106 as illustrated insession 1120 f. For example, a service provider may transmit a request for the transaction history through thenetwork 1102 connected to thehost device 1104, and in response to at last in the request, thecard 1106 may transmit the transaction history to the service provider using thenetwork 1102 connected to thehost device 1104. In some implementations, the user may present offline Web pages stored in thecard 1106 as illustrated insession 1120. For example, thecard 1106 may receive a request to present an offline Web page from the user using thehost device 1104 and present the offline page using the URL in the request. In some implementations, content data stored in the memory of thecard 1106 or available via live reception of streaming content may be presented through, for example, thehost device 1104 as illustrated insession 1120 h. For example, the user may request specific information associated with the Electronic Service Guide and thecard 1106 may retrieve the data and present the data to the user using thehost device 1104. In addition, the user may write data to the memory in thecard 1106 as illustrated insession 1120 i. For example, the user may setup timers for the Personal Video Recorder application on thecard 1106 and thecard 1106 may indicate the success and failure of the timer setup - In regards to session between the
card 1106 and the terminal, theflow 1100 illustrates thepersonalization session 1120 k and the transaction session 1120 l. In regards to personalization, a service provider may personalize acard 1106 with user credentials, user applications, Web pages, and/or other information as illustrated insession 1120 k. For example, thebroadcast network 1108 may transmit a provisioning request to thecard 1106 including associated data. Theprotocol translation 1118 may translate the personalization request to a form compatible with thecard 1106. In response to at least the request, theCPU 1112 transmit an indication whether the personalization was a success or not using theprotocol translation 1118. Prior to the a broadcast session beginning live reception, thebroadcast network 1108 may submit a subscription verification challenge to thecard 1106 as illustrated in session 1120 l. In this case, thecard 1106 may identify a receiver signature of thereceiver 1118, present associated data to the user through thehost device 1104, and transmit the signature to thebroadcast network 1108 using theprotocol translation 1118. -
FIG. 12 is a flow chart illustrating anexample method 1200 for managing the Electronic Service Guide application. In general, an intelligent card may receive ESG data from the broadcast network and display it to the user in response to at least an event. Many of the steps in this flowchart may take place simultaneously and/or in different orders as shown. -
Method 1200 begins atstep 1202 where ESG data currently stored is identified. For example, theservice card 104 may receive ESG data from the broadcast network or the cellular network such as channel lineup, program listing, program information and program ratings. Atstep 1204, previously downloaded ESG content is identified. In the example, theservice card 104 may identify content previously downloaded from the content provider to the local memory in thecard 104. In some implementations, theservice card 104 may identify one or more aspects of memory such as file names, file sizes, dates, and/or other aspects. If the previously-downloaded content matches the current content atdecisional step 1206, then execution ends. If the previously-downloaded content does not match the current content, then, atstep 1208, at least a portion of the locally-stored content is automatically updated in the local memory. As for the example, theservice card 104 may only download content identified as new content or content that was previously not downloaded. In downloading the content, theservice card 104 may substantially updates local-stored ESG content according to the latest available ESG from the service provider -
FIG. 13 is a flow chart illustrating anexample method 1300 for managing the Personal Video Recorder application. In general, an intelligent card may automatically receive data from the broadcast network and record it to the memory (if space is available) in response to at least an event (timer). Many of the steps in this flowchart may take place simultaneously and/or in different orders as shown. -
Method 1300 begins atstep 1302 where a timer event triggers the beginning of broadcast reception. For example, theservice card 104 may automatically tune the antenna to the channel corresponding to the program that the user has setup to record as associated with the timer. Atstep 1304, available memory space is identified. In the example, theservice card 104 may identify free local memory in thecard 104. If the available memory is below a certain threshold (configured by the service provider) atdecisional step 1306, then execution ends. If available memory is above a certain threshold, then, atstep 1308, broadcast reception is started and content is automatically recorded in the local memory in a newly created program data file. After a specified size of program data is recorded, available memory is checked again and the process is repeated by appending to the program data file until either the program ends or the available memory falls below the threshold. Once the program ends, the program data file is finalized and given a unique identifier so that it can be accessed for viewing. - A number of embodiments of the invention have been described.
