Abstract:
Provided are a contents receiving apparatus for obtaining application control information and a method thereof, the method comprising: receiving application control information, including effective duration information, from a server; determining whether a current control time point is within a time period represented by the effective duration information; and selectively requesting other application control information from the server in response to the determining.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a video processing apparatus, a content providing server, and control methods thereof. The video processing apparatus includes: a receiver which receives a two-dimensional (2D) video signal; a communication unit which communicates with a content providing server providing a supplementary video signal for a three-dimensional (3D) video signal corresponding to the 2D video signal; a signal processor which processes the 2D video signal and the supplementary video signal; and a controller which controls the communication unit to receive the supplementary video signal corresponding to the received 2D video signal from the content providing server, and the signal processor to generate the 3D video signal based on the received supplementary video signal and the received 2D video signal. Accordingly, it is possible to generate and reproduce the 3D video signal corresponding to the 2D video signal.
Abstract:
A three dimensional (3D) image display apparatus is provided. The 3D image display apparatus includes a receiving unit which receives a transport stream (TS) including a content image and an additional image, an information detecting unit which detects 3D depth information for the content image, an additional image processing unit which applies the 3D depth information detected by the information detecting unit to the additional image, and an output unit which displays the additional image, to which the 3D depth information is applied, along with the content image.

Abstract:
Provided are a method and a device for booting a host embodying a downloadable conditional access system (DCAS), wherein one of a plurality of pre-determined booting modes is decided as a booting mode of the host based on first information indicating whether a host can communicate with a broadcasting service provider and second information indicating whether a software-based security client providing information required for decrypting broadcasting data is installed to a hardware-based security module connected to the host, and the host is booted in the decided booting mode.
Abstract:
A plurality of conditional access (CA) clients are needed to receive services from a plurality of service, where the CA clients respectively correspond to the service providers. Thus, the CA clients should be installed into a broadcast receiver, and in this case, a method of managing the CA clients is needed. Provided are a method and apparatus for processing broadcast data by using a security client. The method includes determining a first security client based on a security client list, where the first security client is used to decrypt encrypted broadcast data and the security client list comprises information regarding each of security clients available which provide information necessary to decrypt the encrypted broadcast data; and decrypting the encrypted broadcast data by using the first security client. Accordingly, it is possible to allow a user to receive various services.
Abstract:
A method of processing a hybrid service and a hybrid digital cable receiving apparatus are provided. The hybrid digital cable receiving apparatus includes a transmitting/receiving unit for receiving a hybrid signal, an Internet protocol television (IPTV) service processing unit for processing data corresponding to an IPTV service that is included in the received hybrid signal, and a cable service processing unit for processing data corresponding to a cable broadcasting service that is included in the received hybrid signal.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for configuring and executing an application appropriate to a broadcast-receiving device are provided. The apparatus includes an application-generating unit that generates an application having at least two functions to be selectively performed by the broadcast-receiving device and information related with the application, and an application-transmitting unit that transmits the generated application and the information related with the application to the broadcast-receiving device via a predetermined communication method, wherein the application determines which function is activated among the at least two functions, and provides the determined result to the broadcast-receiving device.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for processing and selecting an application easily processed by a broadcasting receiving apparatus among the plurality of applications and executing the selected application are provided. The application processing method includes: analyzing information on each of a plurality of applications providing a common broadcasting service; selecting an application suitable for a broadcasting receiving apparatus among the plurality of applications based on the analysis; and executing the selected application. When a plurality of applications is transmitted to a broadcasting receiving apparatus, the broadcasting receiving apparatus can select an easily executable application.
Abstract:
A broadcast signal receiving device includes a profile management module that manages user profile information indicating whether to execute a data broadcasting application received via a channel, an application filtering module that filters data composing a data broadcasting application from data signals of broadcast signals, and an application management module that executes a data broadcasting application composed of the filtered data and according to the user profile information
