Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method are disclosed for managing networks. Devices in a neighborhood may communicate with a termination server (TS) at a local office. The devices may also communicate locally with one another using a second, localized network. As an alternative to obtaining network communication and initialization data from the TS, the devices may consult with devices on the local network to determine if such devices have the initialization data available for use. Through the local network, the devices may also share tuning resources with one another, so that neighboring devices may use each others' resources to render or record additional content when their own resources are otherwise unavailable.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A network management method, comprising: receiving, by a first device, a request to record an individual program; determining, by the first device, that tuning resources of the first device are available for a first portion of the individual program and unavailable for a second portion of the individual program; sending, from the first device to one or more other devices, a request to temporarily use a tuning resource of the one or more other devic…
