METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BROADCAST MESSAGE DISCRIMINATION
First Claim
1. A method for broadcast message discrimination, the method including:
- a) forming a first version of a broadcast message with first encoding associated with a first recipient group and a second version of the broadcast message with second encoding associated with a second recipient group;
b) transmitting the first and second versions of the broadcast message over a coverage area;
c) receiving the first and second versions of the broadcast message at a first receiving device selectively associated with the first recipient group and at a second receiving device selectively associated with the second recipient group; and
d) delivering the first version of the broadcast message via the first receiving device and the second version of the broadcast message via the second receiving device.

Abstract
A method for broadcast message discrimination may include: a) forming a first version of a broadcast message with first encoding associated with a first recipient group and a second version of the broadcast message with second encoding associated with a second recipient group, b) transmitting the first and second versions of the broadcast message over a coverage area, c) receiving the first and second versions of the broadcast message at a first receiving device selectively associated with the first recipient group and at a second receiving device selectively associated with the second recipient group, and d) delivering the first version of the broadcast message via the first receiving device and the second version of the broadcast message via the second receiving device. A communication system for broadcast message discrimination may include a communication network, a first receiving device, and a second receiving device.

8. An apparatus for broadcast message discrimination, including:
-
a communication network to form multiple versions of a broadcast message with version encoding associating each message version with a corresponding recipient group and to transmit the multiple versions of the broadcast message over a coverage area; a first receiving device in operative communication with the communication network to receive the multiple versions of the broadcast message, wherein the first receiving device is selectively associated with one of at least a first recipient group and a second recipient group to deliver the corresponding message version; and a second receiving device in operative communication with the communication network to receive the multiple versions of the broadcast message, wherein the second receiving device is selectively associated with one of at least the first recipient group and the second recipient group to deliver the corresponding message version. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for broadcast message discrimination, the method including:
-
a) forming a first version of an emergency broadcast message with first geographic encoding associated with a first recipient group and a second version of the emergency broadcast message with second geographic encoding associated with a second recipient group; b) transmitting the first and second versions of the emergency broadcast message from a geostationary satellite over a coverage area, wherein the first geographic encoding and first recipient group are associated with a first portion of the coverage area and the second geographic encoding and second recipient group are associated with a second portion of the coverage area; c) receiving the first and second versions of the emergency broadcast message at a mobile satellite television within the first portion of the coverage area, wherein the mobile satellite television is selectively associated with the first recipient group; d) receiving the first and second versions of the emergency broadcast message at a stationary satellite television within the second portion of the coverage area, wherein the stationary satellite television is selectively associated with the second recipient group; and e) delivering the first version of the emergency broadcast message via the mobile satellite television and the second version of the broadcast message via the stationary satellite television. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
