Abstract:
Provided are a fast channel change apparatus based on multiple multicasts communication in an IPTV network, and a method thereof. In the fast channel change system, after separately generating at least one multicast stream obtained by applying different time delays respectively to original multicast stream to be broadcast, a channel server dynamically analyzes information regarding the at least one multicast stream. After querying the channel server for information regarding an optimal multicast stream and receiving the response to the query, a user terminal joins a multicast group on the optimal multicast stream through a router. After a predetermined time is elapsed, the user terminal joins a multicast group of the original multicast stream. Thus, it is possible to easily and inexpensively embody a fast channel change function network based on multiple multicasts communication in an IPTV network.
Abstract:
A user equipment and an advertisement service server for a bidirectional personalized advertisement, and a bidirectional personalized advertisement method are provided. The UE receives user setting information and advertisement meta-information from the advertisement service server, stores the received user setting information and advertisement meta-information, searches for advertisement contents corresponding to the user setting information from the stored advertisement meta-information and selects the found advertisement contents when an advertisement event occurs, and displays the selected advertisement contents. Accordingly, the dependence of an online advertisement service on a particular media service can be prevented.
Abstract:
There is provided a personal-oriented multimedia studio platform apparatus. A plurality of users to share multi-media objects by providing a function of authoring 3-Dimensional (3D) objects using a common-use camera instead of expensive mechanism for acquiring a 3D image, providing robust interaction with a user by means of augmented reality implementation and an automatic user motion extraction function, and allowing a user to receive a content object from a remote server.
Abstract:
A burst mode optical repeater is provided. The burst mode optical repeater receives optical signals, which are transmitted from a plurality of optical network units (ONUs) in a passive optical network (PON) to a central office using a time division multiplexing access (TDMA) method, and relays the received optical signals using an optical-electrical-optical (OEO) method. Since the burst mode optical repeater can be installed anywhere between an optical line terminal (OLT) and the ONUs, the number of subscribers and transmission range that can be supported by a corresponding network can be increased.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an intermediate node apparatus for configuring a sensor network and a sensor data processing method using the intermediate node apparatus. The intermediate node apparatus may deliver sensor data measured by a sensor node apparatus to a neighboring node apparatus and may store the sensor data in a database.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of obtaining spatial images on demand. The server segments a spatial image into a plurality of regions to detect an isolated region whose continuity with peripheral regions is less than a threshold value, generates geographic information corresponding to the detected isolated region, and generates a capture request message including the generated geographic information. In addition, the capture request message may be transmitted to at least one terminal using unicast scheme, a multicast scheme, an anycast scheme, or a broadcast scheme. The capture request message may comprise a capture condition value such as a capture direction, a capture angle, a capture time, a zoom information and an exposure value. At least one terminal which meets the capture condition value within the capture request message transmits a captured image to the server.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a 3D video display device providing a first video inputted into a left eye and a second video inputted into a right eye, the 3D video display device including: a control information acquiring device receiving control information; and a 3D broadcasting receiving device controlling a binocular disparity between the first video and the second video by using the control information transferred from the control information acquiring device as a key. According to the present invention, since a 3D video is reconfigured considering a distance between the user and the 3D video display device acquired by a control information acquiring device, a user's preference, or the like, it is possible to provide the 3D video in which a user can perceive optimal depth perception.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an overlay multicast system for a group media transmission application service composed of a multiple stream, wherein, when an additional stream is newly transferred to a predetermined node in an overlay network, the overlay multicast system transmitting a plurality of streams in the overlay network generates a multiple stream by muxing a main stream inputted from a parent node and the additional stream based on stream correlation information in the predetermined node, and transmits the generated multiple stream to a child node.
Abstract:
A terminal, a relay node, and a stream processing method for a video conference system may be provided. A transmitting terminal may receive media data, generate elementary streams from the media data, generate a transport stream by multiplexing the elementary streams, and transmit the transport stream to a relay node associated with a first receiving terminal among receiving terminals.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a multicast controlling apparatus and method in a multi hop network. The multicast controlling apparatus in the multi hop network includes a packet determining unit to receive a packet from a group management query device or a station, and to determine whether the received packet is a group management protocol packet, a packet type distinguishing unit to distinguish a type of the received packet when the received packet is determined as the group management protocol packet, and a packet transmitting unit to transmit the packet to a second port excluding a first port that receives the query message, when the received packet is determined as the query message.
