System and Method for Implementing Location-Based Content Restrictions in a Mobile Video Broadcast Environment

摘要

A system and method for implementing location-based content restrictions in a mobile video broadcast is provided. The invention utilizes DVB-H KSMs to transmit the restrictions and thereby enables the restrictions to be enforced by the mobile terminal receiving a broadcast video signal. This need for enforcement is determined as a function of the received KSMs and the physical location of the receiving terminal (as sensed using one or more accepted navigation technologies (e.g., Global Positioning System (“GPS”) technology, Assisted GPS (“AGPS”) technology, etc.).
