GENERATING VIDEO ON DEMAND (VOD) USING NETWORK DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDING (NDVR) - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240040196 titled 'GENERATING VIDEO ON DEMAND (VOD) USING NETWORK DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDING (NDVR)

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed embodiments relate to generating Video on Demand (VOD) using Network Digital Video Recording (NDVR). The method involves receiving a VOD request for generating a VOD package of a video broadcast prior to its broadcast. Electronic Program Guide (EPG) metadata related to the video broadcast is retrieved. A DVR request is sent to an NDVR system to record the video broadcast. A video recording of the broadcast is obtained from the NDVR system. A VOD package is generated, including the video recording and VOD metadata, and sent to a VOD system for distribution.

  • The method involves generating VOD packages of video broadcasts before they are aired.
  • EPG metadata related to the video broadcast is retrieved to assist in generating the VOD package.
  • A DVR request is sent to an NDVR system to record the video broadcast.
  • The video recording of the broadcast is obtained from the NDVR system.
  • The VOD package is generated, including the video recording and VOD metadata.
  • The VOD package is sent to a VOD system for distribution.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Enhancing user experience by providing VOD packages of video broadcasts before they are aired.
  • Allowing users to access and watch recorded video broadcasts at their convenience.
  • Enabling broadcasters to generate VOD packages for promotional purposes or to monetize their content.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Users can watch video broadcasts on demand, eliminating the need to be present during the broadcast.
  • Broadcasters can generate additional revenue by offering VOD packages of their content.
  • Users can easily access and watch recorded video broadcasts without the need for physical recording devices.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved flexibility and convenience for users to watch video broadcasts.
  • Increased revenue opportunities for broadcasters through VOD packages.
  • Efficient utilization of NDVR systems to record and generate VOD packages.
