SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING SERVER SIDE PUSH MECHANISMS FOR INTERNET PROTOCOL TELEVISION (IPTV) UPDATES

Systems and methods provide for transmitting updates in an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) environment towards a client. The method includes: maintaining the updates in a data hierarchy of updates; receiving a first message identifying a client; retrieving information associated with the client; determining which updates are relevant to the client by matching the information associated with the client to the data hierarchy of updates; and transmitting a second message toward the client with information associated with the determined updates.
