Provided is an adaptive broadcasting service providing apparatus using UED information including biographic information and terminal information. The apparatus can provide a targeting function for selecting AV program, package or components of the package based on a user consumption environment and preference by defining biographic information and terminal information for describing characteristic information for personal biographic information and terminal information, and adding the biographic information and terminal information to the UED information. The apparatus includes: a contents providing unit for publishing and providing the broadcasting contents and metadata including the UED information to the user terminal; and a contents searching unit for providing contents identification information upon a search and selection signal from the user terminal, wherein the UED information describes a consumption environment of the contents and includes: biographic information for describing characteristics of user' s biographic information; and terminal information for describing characteristic information of the user terminal.

The present research relates to description supporting a targeting scheme, more particularly, to an extended description structure supporting a targeting scheme and a TV-Anytime service providing method and system employing the same based on Moving Picture Experts Group 21 (MPEG-21) Usage Environment Description (UED) tools. The TV-Anytime service providing system employing the extended description structure includes a service providing apparatus for generating package metadata including user information and usage environment information; and a user device for acquiring the package metadata including user information and usage environment information from the service providing apparatus through diverse access networks.

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for expressing a query for searching multimedia data. The apparatus and method of the present invention expresses diverse query types in MPEG-7 query formats and uses field types to re¬ use a designated region. The apparatus for expressing a query inputted from a user for multimedia data search includes: an input means for receiving a query for multimedia data search from a user; and a query expression means for expressing the input query in a field type, wherein the field type includes at least one among identifier information indicating identification (ID) information of a field presenting a search condition included in the input query; type information indicating data type information of the field; and reference information indicating identifier information of another field for reference. The present invention is applied to MPEG-7 query formats.

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for retrieving multimedia contents represented in a Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) 7 by transforming a user query into an MPEG-7 query format. The method for retrieving multimedia contents includes: representing a user query by using an indicator indicating a specific region of a Moving Picture Experts Group 7 (MPEG-7) document and a reference for referring to the indicator; analyzing a meaning of the user query represented by using the indicator and the reference to thereby produce an analysis result; and retrieving multimedia contents according to the analysis result. The present research can satisfy more than two retrieval conditions within the same structure in an MPEG-7 query format and it can also clearly represent that two different MPEG-7 documents are referred to. Since the meaning of a user query is analyzed accurately during retrieval process, it is possible to precisely retrieve multimedia contents.

Provided is an apparatus and method for providing an adaptive broadcasting service using classification schemes for Usage Environment Description (UED) . The adaptive broadcasting service providing apparatus using UED classification scheme (CS) to provide a targeting function for selecting an Audio video (AV) program, a package or components of the package based on a consumption environment and user preference, in an adaptive broadcasting system for providing broadcasting contents including AV programs and packages to a user terminal, includes: a contents providing means for publishing and providing the broadcasting contents and metadata including the UED CS to the user terminal; and a contents searching means for providing contents identification information corresponding to a search and selection signal inputted from the user terminal, wherein the UED CS is a kind of metadata describing a contents consumption environment in order that the user terminal can select contents which fit to user's environment and preference.
