Methods and systems described herein can allow for a service provider, such as an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to provide Web pages to users' Web browsers at periodic intervals. The content can include graphics, text, audio and video clips. In contrast to the traditional banner or pop-up advertisements available today, the methods and systems can allow content Web pages to be displayed on users' Web browsers without the user requesting specific Web sites. The ISPs can become distributors of advertising content, potentially gaining new revenue streams.

Methods and systems for providing web pages to web browsers

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing bandwidth-on-demand telecommunications services over next-generation optical transport networks (NG-OTN). One embodiment of a system providing bandwidth-on-demand services includes a next-generation optical transport network (NG-OTN) having an intelligent control plane (ICP) and new-generation synchronous optical network (NG-SONET) capabilities. A next-generation operation support subsystem (NG-OSS) is communicatively coupled to the NG-OTN. The NG-OTN and the NG-OSS are configured to provide the bandwidth-on-demand services.

Bandwidth-on-demand systems and methods

A wireless application server may receive, from a wireless device, information identifying an application residing on a network device in a home network. The wireless application server may further cause a connection to be established to the application and transfer traffic between the application and the wireless device.

Remote access to a customer home network

A system for and method of system for performing residential gateway diagnostics and corrective actions is presented. In one exemplary embodiment, the method may comprise running one or more diagnostic tests on a residential gateway using a module of the residential gateway, storing a diagnostic test result, analyzing the diagnostic test result, and performing one or more corrective actions in response to the diagnostic test result.

System for and method of performing residential gateway diagnostics and corrective actions

An approach is provided for monitoring location of a user of a mobile device. A notification triggering event based on location of a mobile device is detected. Notification information is generated in response to the detection of the notification triggering event. The notification information to a video processor (e.g., set-top box) that is configured to transmit the notification information to a display.

Method and system for monitoring a mobile device over a video network

Systems and methods are provided for enhanced television services such as an interactive audio programming guide for a television. Users may use an input device, such as a remote control, to select display objects displayed on an output device, such as a television, as part of an interactive programming guide. An IPG module on a network terminal, such as a set top box, may determine whether the display object requires an audio representation. If an audio representation is required, the set top box may transmit an audio representation of the display object to the television to be played for the user.

System and methods for voicing text in an interactive programming guide

A device receives an activation inform message associated with a local area network (LAN) device, and verifies the LAN device and a gateway device associated with the LAN device based on an Internet protocol (IP) address included in the activation inform message. The device also performs a set parameter value (SPV) operation to add a new connection request port forwarding entry in the gateway device when the LAN device and the gateway device are verified, and sends a connection request operation, to be forwarded by the gateway device to the LAN device, based on the new connection request port forwarding entry.
