Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for transmitting content in a content-transmission system are provided. The apparatus includes a service provider to construct a service using a plurality of pieces of content, and to transmit the service via one or more paths over a heterogeneous network, such that the service may be consumed in a converged environment.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for transmitting a multimedia data packet are provided. The method includes generating Media Abstraction Layer (MAL) information for abstracting information on the multimedia data to be transmitted, generating a multimedia data packet including said MAL information, and transmitting the generated multimedia data packet to a network entity.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are provided for securing service quality in multimedia services. The method includes arranging media data samples in each data frame (moof) included a data field of a media data box (mdat), according to a specific rule, and recording control information based on the specific rule in a control information field (sidx) of the mdat. The control information defines an arrangement of the samples in each moof, and includes level information about a level assigned to each sample and index information about a location where each sample is arranged in the data field.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for transmitting and playing complex content including a plurality of content. A method of playing the complex content includes receiving, from a server, the complex content and classification information corresponding to the complex content, classifying the plurality of content according to the classification information, and playing the complex content based on the classified plurality of content.
Abstract:
A conditional processing method and apparatus for efficient memory management are provided. A conditional processing method includes generating a parse tree by loading a plurality of nodes of data structured based on a declarative description language in a memory in series; evaluating, when a parsing switch node having an attribute describing a condition for conditional processing exists among the nodes, child nodes of the parsing switch node according to the attribute; loading only the child nodes fulfilling the attribute in the memory; and outputting the child nodes retained on the memory.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting a data packet of a multimedia service is provided. The method includes generating a media characteristic corresponding to a single media content component or aggregated media characteristics corresponding to a plurality of multimedia content components, obtaining information used for generating the data packet from the generated media characteristics or aggregated media characteristics, and generating the data packet based on the obtained information used for generating the data packet and transmitting the generated data packet.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting a User Interface (UI) to a client in a communication system supporting a Remote User Interface (RUI), in which a representation level of a UI requested by the client is determined, whether the representation level is available in a service provided to the client is determined, and a UI having an available representation level is provided to the client, according to the determination results.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for encoding and decoding a datastream into which multiview image information is inserted. The method of decoding a multiview image datastream includes extracting multiview image information including information on at least one view image of a multiview image, from at least one elementary stream of the multiview image datastream; extracting a multiview image parameter regarding the multiview image based on the number of elementary streams and a correlation between view images of the multiview image; and restoring the multiview image by using the extracted multiview image parameter and the extracted multiview image information.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for reducing a deterioration of a Quality of Experience (QoE) in a multimedia service. The method includes reproducing a first multimedia stream by the multimedia device, receiving a command for reproducing a second multimedia stream during the reproducing of the first multimedia stream, and reproducing the second multimedia stream with reference to information regarding a unit image that is independently decoded from the second multimedia stream. The information regarding the unit image includes information regarding a number of unit images per unit time included in the second multimedia stream.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for receiving manifest information by a client from a broadcast involved system are provided. The method includes accessing the broadcast involved system, receiving timing information comprising a specific entry point to check the manifest information, and acquiring the manifest information from a broadcasting channel using the timing information.
