Systems and methods of assembling an elementary stream from an encapsulated multimedia transport stream are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method is performed in a digital home communication terminal (DHCT). This method comprises the steps of: receiving a layer- packet through a binding to a network interface driver; applying at least one filter to the received packet to determine whether the received packet contains one or more multimedia transport packets meeting criteria associated with the filter; and for each multimedia transport packet meeting the applied filter criteria, copying the respective multimedia transport packet to an elementary stream buffer.

A network gateway function that is provided at a coaxial tap of a hybrid-fiber coaxial broadband network that feeds a customer location. A Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) modem may be embedded in the tap wherein the DOCSIS protocol is terminated. A network functionality such as firewall and network address translation is provided at a network termination point that may use Multimedia over Coax (MoCA) or other similar technology using an existing coaxial cable drop to a customer location that effectively extends a home network to the tap.

A communications terminal for receiving digital data services at a location remote from a transmitter comprises a service controller, a bus system, a random access memory and a non-volatile memory. The non-volatile memory preferably comprises FLASH memory. Data is first loaded into random access memory, preferably SRAM and there checked for errors and error-corrected. The data is preferably loaded in blocks into FLASH memory in a predetermined manner to further secure the service data and to permit the use of byte-wide memories accessed as word-wide memories. A service back-up memory is further connected to the bus for storing service data during suspension of play of a service. The service back-up memory preferably comprises a FLASH memory card having its own basic input output service (BIOS) control. A method of storing back-up service data in a home communications terminal comprises the steps of storing current service data in a first FLASH non-volatile memory and storing previous service data in a state in which play of the service is suspended is a second FLASH non-volatile memory, the service back-up memory described above.

An improved virtual memory computer system comprising a main processing unit for executing application and operating system software without virtual memory code and independently of virtual memory operation. A dedicated second processing unit is provided for maintaining a memory map, which translates addresses in the main processing unit address space into physical memory addressess of a primary memory. A network interface allows pages or segments of data from a secondary memory connected to a communications network to be transferred into the primary memory in a manner transparent to the operation of the main processing unit. A direct memory access (DMA) circuit transfer the header portion of a network-transferred page of data into a separate auxiliary addressable memory for storage of network overhead information, while the useful data portions of the page are stored directly in locations in the primary addressable memory. A requested page of data is then placed directly in a desired location in primary memory without the need for moving or retransferring the data within the primary memory to strip off network header information after a DMA transfer. The system is responsive to detect and correct a page fault condition prior to execution of the main processing unit instruction which generated the page fault, which obviates reexecution of instructions or correction of instruction execution results by the main processing unit.

A communications system for the delivery of digital data programs to a remote location includes a transmitter for transmitting a signal having the digital data programs and a communications terminal located at the remote location. The communications terminal includes a control circuit including authorizing circuitry responsive to authorization data for authorizing the communications terminal to access authorized ones of the digital data programs in one of a first and a second authorization mode. For example, automatic authorization modes for game play may comprise an arcade mode and a rental mode, simulating manual access methods i. e. paying for play at a video arcade or for rental of games from a video game store. Moreover, new games may be accessed without charge by the game player if authorized according to a free service authorization map. Furthermore, parents may limits game play to children prior to a particular time of day such as bed-time or to a maximum playtime limit according to a secret downloadbale password known only to the parents.
