DCAS HEADEND SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING ERROR OF SECURE MICRO CLIENT SOFTWARE
First Claim
1. A Downloadable Conditional Access System (DCAS) headend system, comprising:
- an Authentication Proxy (AP) server to authenticate a terminal;
a DCAS Provisioning Server (DPS) to store and process policy information regarding a transmission of a Secure Micro (SM) Client Software; and
an Integrated Personalization System (IPS) server to store the SM Client Software, and to transmit the SM Client Software to the terminal when the terminal is authenticated by the AP server,wherein the AP server receives result information regarding a reception and an installation of the SM Client Software from the terminal, and transmits the result information to the DPS and the IPS server, andwherein the DPS changes policy information related to an error associated with the SM Client Software among the policy information, when the received result information contains error information regarding the error and when a number of terminals that transmit the error information exceeds a reference value.

Abstract
A Downloadable Conditional Access System (DCAS) headend system and method for processing an error of Secure Micro (SM) Client Software are provided to prevent further transmission of SM Client Software where an error occurred, and to prevent unnecessary traffic due to repeat reinstallation of SM Client Software between an Authentication Proxy (AP) server and a terminal, by changing policy information regarding a transmission of SM Client Software associated with error information, when a number of terminals that transmit the error information exceeds a reference value as a result of analyzing result information regarding a reception and an installation of the SM Client Software received from a terminal corresponding to a DCAS headend system.

9. A DCAS headend system, comprising:
-
a transmitter to transmit SM Client Software to a terminal; a receiver to receive error information regarding an error from the terminal, when the error is associated with the SM Client Software; and a processor to change policy information regarding a transmission of the SM Client Software associated with the error, when a number of terminals that transmit the error information exceeds a reference value, wherein the transmitter stops the transmission of the SM Client Software associated with the error, when the number of terminals that transmit the error information exceeds the reference value. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A DPS of a DCAS headend system, the DPS comprising:
-
a first database to store information regarding SM Client Software, the SM Client Software being transmitted to a terminal; a second database to receive result information regarding a reception and an installation of the SM Client Software from the terminal, and to store the received result information; a third database to store policy information regarding a transmission of the SM Client Software; a determiner; and a processor, wherein the second database extracts error information regarding an error associated with the SM Client Software from the result information, wherein the determiner receives the error information from the second database, and when a number of terminals that transmit the error information exceeds a reference value, extracts the information regarding the SM Client Software associated with the error information from the first database and transmits the extracted information to the processor, and wherein the processor changes policy information related to the error associated with the SM Client Software among the policy information stored in the third database, based on the information received from the determiner. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A method of removing an error in a DCAS headend system, the method comprising:
-
transmitting SM Client Software to a terminal, when the terminal is authenticated by an AP server; receiving, by the AP server, result information regarding a reception and an installation of the SM Client Software from the terminal, and transmitting the result information to a DPS and an IPS server; and changing policy information regarding a transmission of the SM Client Software associated with an error, when the result information received by the DPS contains error information regarding the error and when a number of terminals that transmit the error information exceeds a reference value. - View Dependent Claims (18)
