The present disclosure relates generally to communication systems having a primary service provider and a partner service provider, and more particularly, to a method and system for securely communicating searching content at a primary service provider through a partner service.
The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art.
Communication systems such as pay or subscription communication systems include a primary service provider and a user receiver device such as a set top box or integrated receiver decoder. The user device is typically provided with authorization to communicate with the primary service provider and receive services therefrom. One example of such a system is a satellite television system such as DIRECTV®. Conditional access is provided at the user device in the form of a card that allows the user device to receive and process signals from the primary service provider.
Allowing other service providers to interact with and provide different services that supplement the primary service, may be desirable. However, security must be maintained between the device and the partner service and the primary provider.
While interaction between primary and partner providers may take place, providing access to content for the primary service provider is important. The primary service provider may continually be adding new content and thus allowing users to access such content is important.
The present disclosure allows the security to be maintained between a primary provider and the partner provider so that searching of content listings at a primary service provider may be performed through the partner provider. The content searched may be linear content, non-linear content or both linear and non-linear content. For clients of the primary provider, the searching may be performed in a customized manner by allowing subscribed services and local content to be searched.
In one aspect of the invention, a method includes generating a search request for search data at a user device, communicating the search request to a partner service provider, communicating the search request from the partner service provider to a primary service provider, generating search results data at the primary service provider, communicating search results data to the user device, and displaying the search results on a display device associated with the user device.
In another aspect of the invention, a system includes a user device, a partner service provider in communication with the user device, and a primary service provider in communication with the partner service provider. The user device generates a search request for search data at the user device and communicates the search request to a partner service provider. The partner service provider communicates the search request to a primary service provider. The primary service provider generates search results data and communicates search results data to the user device. The user device displays the search results on a display device associated with the user device.

In step 200, after the user enters the various information into the setup web page, the information is communicated from the partner service provider, and, in particular, the setup web page to the setup web service 32B. The information may be communicated through the network 40 of
In step 202, the account/billing web service 30 may receive the information at the primary service provider 14 through the network 40. The various information such as the internal identifier or account identifier may be provided to the account/billing service 30. The process may be first started by validating or authenticating the site identifier provided by the partner service provider. Thereafter, the internal account or ID may be authenticated.
In step 204, once the site identifier and the internal or account identifier are authenticated, a status signal is communicated to the setup web service 32B. The status may include a non-authenticated status.
If the status is positive, meaning the authentication has taken place, an encrypted token or eToken may be generated at the setup web service 32B in step 206. The eToken may be formed using various combinations of identifiers but may include a site identifier, a site user identifier, and a DIRECTV® internal identifier or account identifier. The eToken may also have an expiration date and/or time specified therein. The expiration date may have a current date time in which the eToken was formed and an elapsed time through which the eToken is valid. The elapsed time may be in seconds that are counted from the current time when the eToken is formed. Thus, the lifespan of the eToken is set forth. In subsequent authentication requests, if the expiration time is still valid, authentication may not be necessary. The eToken may be returned without modification if the eToken is still valid. If the expiration time has expired, re-authentication may be required and a new token may be generated with an updated expiration date and time.
In step 210, the partner service provider may also be used to obtain various data from the data web service 36 of the primary service provider 14. The partner service provider will thus not have individual customer or user information associated therewith. Therefore, the site identifier may be provided and dummy values or no values at all for the specific user information described above may be communicated to the setup web service 32B. If the site ID is a valid site ID as determined in the setup web service 32B, an eToken is generated using the site ID and dummy values if needed in step 212.
After the eTokens have been returned in steps 206 and 212, the web service or web application 82 in
In step 216, the information such as the site ID, the site user ID and the eToken may be communicated to the eToken web service 32A at the primary service provider 14. Authentication may decrypt the eToken and ensure that the site ID and the site user ID correspond with the site ID and the site user ID of the eToken. Authentication will be further described below. In step 218, the eToken and internal or account identifier may be returned once the authentication takes place in step 216. The return signal may return back to the web service 36. The web service 36 may then generate a web service response in step 220. The web service response may include an updated eToken if the eToken was expired and data from the web service 36.

In step 520, if the expiration time is greater than the current date and time, step 524 is performed. In step 524, if the expiration time is less than or equal to the current date and time, step 526 is performed. Step 526 authenticates the eToken internal identifier. If the eToken internal identifier is not valid in step 528, an error message is returned in step 530.
If the eToken internal ID is valid, step 532 updates the eToken expiration time. In step 534, the updated eToken is returned and the internal ID is communicated to the web service. In step 536, a web service response is generated.
In step 538, the updated eToken is communicated to the partner service provider 80.

In step 912, a plurality of clips is communicated to an intermediate web provider. The clips may be provided to the intermediate web provider in response to a query from the intermediate web provider if more current clips are available. The clips may also automatically be provided to the intermediate web provider.
In step 914, an identifier from a user network device is communicated to the intermediate web provider. The user network device may communicate various identifier-type information including an account number or other type of login and/or password. In step 916, the user device is authenticated. The user device may be authenticated at the intermediate web provider, or the identifier data may be communicated to the primary service provider. In step 916, the networks device is authenticated. In step 918, the service options to receive the content may be determined. For football clips, for example, the user may be required to subscribe to a Sunday football package. Both the authenticating and the verifying may take place either at the intermediate web provider or at the primary service provider. Both the authentication and verification may take place at the same time.
In step 920, if the user network device is not verified or authenticated, step 922 ends the process. In step 920, if the user network device has been verified and authenticated, step 924 communicates a content list to the user network device from the intermediate web provider. The content list may include a list of a number of the most recent NFL clips, in carrying forward with the example set forth above. For example, a list of five may be provided.

In a field search, various fields may be selected. Boolean searching may take place using “AND” or “OR”, Operations using “AND” means the search string has to appear in all specific fields and an operation “OR” means the search string needs only appear in one of the specific fields to make the records be selected as a search result. The fields may include but are not limited to the program title, the episode title, the program description, the program category, the program credits and the channel short name. As will be mentioned below, various other types of ranges may also be provided.
In step 1114, the content type may also be specified in a search. The content type may be three different types that include a linear content type, a non-linear content type and a combined content type. The combined content type includes both linear and non-linear data. If the client or user specifies linear data, then only linear data will be searched. Likewise, if non-linear data is searched, both will be searched. If a specific type is not specified, then both linear and non-linear may be searched.
In step 1116, a time range may also be specified. The time range may correspond to a time range of air time for a field of search. This may be an optional input for linear data since non-linear data does not have a specific air time. Both the time range and content type may be specified in the search request.
In step 1118, the sorting order may also be provided as part of the search request. The sorting order may be specified to match a score or an air time. The higher the score on the list, the higher the rank. If programs have the same score, then they may be sorted in ascending order by air time.
Indexing the search results may also have indexing options that are processed by the search engine against various indexed fields such as program title, episode title, program description, program category, program credits, and channel shortening. Various boost factors may be adjusted using the program guide search system's XML configuration files. In one example, the program title may have the maximum boost compared to the rest of the indexed fields.
In step 1120, it is determined whether the client (which is a client of the partner service provider), has a primary provider service account. If the user is not a customer of the primary service provider, generic search results may be provided in step 1122.
Referring back to step 1120, if the client does have a provider account, customized results based upon the user's subscribed services and/or zip code or both may be provided in step 1124.
