| 20140020017 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT OF SECONDARY CONTENT VIEWING - Methods and apparatus for selectively enforcing required insertion or viewing of secondary content, such as advertisements or promotions, in a content distribution network. In one embodiment, the network is a managed network (e.g., cable television, satellite, or the like), and the method includes identifying secondary content with a particular attribute or property (e.g., an advertisement that a user has watched before), and selectively enabling one or more “trick mode” functions relating to that secondary content. In one implementation, audio codes or watermarks are inserted into the secondary content and detected when the content is accessed or rendered; if the detected content matches a database or listing of previously played content for that user or premises, the trick mode functionality (e.g., FF or “skip”) is enabled, thereby allowing the user to bypass the content. | 01-16-2014 |
| 20140020034 | MULTI-FORMAT DISTRIBUTION OF CONTENT - A content delivery resource in a cable network receives a request for specified content.

| 20150215424 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR CONTENT ACCESS, RETRIEVAL, AND DELIVERY IN A CONTENT DISTRIBUTION NETWORK - Methods and apparatus for retrieving and delivering content in a network. In one embodiment, unique data codes representative of content are generated by a network entity. The data codes are distributed to viewers either via a physical medium or on a display of similar content. The user device requests the content from the network by reading the data code. The requested content is delivered directly to the requesting device or provided to another device identified by the requesting device or user. In another alternative, the unique data code may be representative of the user or subscriber himself. This type of data code may be generated by the network or the device, and enables the user to access content he is entitled to via another device or terminal by delivery of information contained in the data code (or the code itself) to the network. | 07-30-2015 |
