METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISTRIBUTING CONTENT TO A USER DEVICE THROUGH A SATELLITE NETWORK AND A BROADBAND NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- storing a plurality of content files in a content repository associated with a content distribution system;
assigning a satellite category or a broadband category to each of the plurality of content files;
in response to the satellite category, communicating the content to a transport processing system, communicating the content to a satellite from the transport processing system, communicating the content to a user device through the satellite; and
in response to the broadband category, communicating the content to a content delivery network, communicating the content to a terrestrial communication network from the content delivery network and communicating content to the user device through the terrestrial communication network.

Abstract
A communication system 100 includes a content repository 274 storing a plurality of content files associated with the content distribution system. A transport processing system 250 communicating with the content distribution system, a terrestrial communication network 132, and a content delivery network 280 communicating with the content distribution system 260 and the terrestrial network. The content distribution system assigns a satellite category or a broadband category to each of the plurality of content files in response to the satellite category. The content distribution system communicates the content to the transport processing system. The transport processing system communicates the content through a satellite from the transport processing system to a user device. The content distribution system, in response to the broadband category, communicates the content to the content delivery network. The content delivery network communicates the content through a terrestrial communication network to the user device.
