Abstract:
A method for mapping signaling information to announcement information and a broadcast receiver are disclosed herein. A method of providing a Non-Real-Time (NRT) service, the method comprises extracting identification information of first signaling information and second signaling information based upon a program specific information/program and system information protocol (PSI/PSIP) table, receiving the first signaling information and second signaling information based upon the extracted identification information, constructing and displaying a service guide using the received first signaling information, acquiring first content identification information as a content selected from the displayed service guide, accessing a File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport (FLUTE) session using the received second signaling information, acquiring second content identification information matched with the acquired first content identification information from the accessed FLUTE session and receiving and storing one or more file constructing corresponding content based upon the acquired second content identification information.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a transmission apparatus and method and a reception apparatus and method for a program associated stereoscopic broadcasting service. The transmission apparatus includes: a real time stream encoder generating a real time stream by encoding a reference image; a non-real time (NRT) stream encoder generating an NRT stream based on an additional image; an image synchronization information generator generating a service signaling and image synchronization information (including an event information table (EIT) and a program map table (PMT)) stream for synchronizing the reference image and the additional image with each other based on 3D content synchronization information; and a re-multiplexer generating a program associated stereoscopic broadcasting stream by multiplexing the real time stream, the non-real time stream, and the service signaling and image synchronizing information stream.
Abstract:
A receiving device includes: a policy data storing unit configured to store a policy level table and an output determination table, the policy level table indicating, for each content, a policy level representing a level of a method of displaying windows for a broadcast and an application, and the output determination table indicating, for each policy level, a method of displaying windows for a broadcast and an application; an application execution unit configured to execute an application; a broadcast receiving unit configured to receive a broadcast signal; a policy level comparing unit configured to read from the policy level table stored in the policy data storing unit, a policy level associated with the content included in the broadcast signal received by the broadcast receiving unit; and a policy mediation unit configured to read from the output determination table stored in the policy data storing unit, the method of displaying the windows associated with the policy level read by the policy level comparing unit, and instruct, in accordance with the read method of displaying the windows, to display a window for the content included in the broadcast signal and a window for the application being executed by the application execution unit.
Abstract:
Various techniques for receiving broadcast at a mobile broadcast receiver are described. In an aspect, the broadcast receiver provides user notification and/or automatically launches an application based on user preferences. In another aspect, the broadcast receiver improves channel switching time by predicting future channel selection based on real-time monitoring of user inputs. In another aspect, the broadcast receiver supports drag-and-drop user interface. In another aspect, the broadcast receiver provides additional information associated with a selected broadcast stream. In another aspect, the broadcast receiver processes a broadcast stream and sends output data to an external device for further processing and/or display. In another aspect, the broadcast receiver simultaneously displays live content and stored content. In another aspect, the broadcast receiver simultaneously receives multiple broadcast streams for displayed on one or more display units. In another aspect, the broadcast receiver collects user statistics and sends the statistics to a network entity.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a broadcast advertisement service system based on media ID matching, including: a broadcast-contents receiving terminal for receiving broadcast contents from a broadcasting system for a TV broadcaster and displaying the broadcast contents; a server for an AR advertisement broadcaster for receiving the broadcast contents from the broadcasting system for the TV broadcaster, generating a first media ID lookup table from the broadcast contents, and searching for AR advertisement data linked with on-air broadcast contents by referring to the first media ID lookup table; and a user terminal for acquiring the on-air broadcast contents in real time from the broadcast-contents receiving terminal, generating a second media ID lookup table from the acquired on-air broadcast contents, receiving the AR advertisement data linked with the on-air broadcast contents from the server for the AR advertisement broadcaster, and mixing and displaying the acquired on-air broadcast contents and the received AR advertisement data in real time.
Abstract:
A method of receiving and process a broadcast signal including a Non-Real Time (NRT) service and a broadcast receiver are disclosed herein. A method of processing a broadcast signal including a Non-Real Time (NRT) service, the method comprises receiving and processing a signaling information table including access information of the NRT service, receiving and storing data of the NRT service based on the signaling information table in non-real time, extracting access information of additional information relating to the NRT service from the signaling information table, and downloading the additional information relating to the NRT service based on the extracted access information.
Abstract:
Service component files are received at an input (11) from one or more service operators. An encapsulation and multiplexing system (12) organizes service components (20-23, see FIG. 2) relating to a service sequentially in a burst. In a burst, the service components include content data of different data types. A timing data subsystem (14) produces data from which a receiver can determine the times of datacast of the service components within a burst. Metadata dependent on the data type of each service component is organized, separately from the content data, by a component analyser (15). The metadata can identify a class of receiver having the capability to decode the corresponding service component, or can identify the data type of the corresponding service component, or it identifies the corresponding service component using a unique identifier. The service components, the metadata and the timing data is datacast by a transmitter station (13) for reception by receiver terminals. The metadata can be datacast as part of the corresponding service component, for example in a header thereof, or on a different bearer to the service components.
Abstract:
A communication device may receive broadcast signals and personal communication signals and may interleave and/or combine the broadcast content and personal communication content. The interleaved and/or combined content may be displayed and/or played as a single stream of video and/or audio. The personal communication content may comprise directed advertisement and/or other specified content which may be determined based on a user's location and/or a user profile. Advertisements may be monitored. The broadcast signals may comprise radio and/or TV programs and may be received via terrestrial wireless, satellite, cable and/or Internet channels. The personal communication signals may be transmitted and/or received via cellular, personal cable, personal satellite and/or a personal Internet channels. The user may respond via the personal communication signals. Broadcast and/or personal communication signals may be deciphered. Deciphering keys and/or information may be received via the personal communication signals.
