Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for performing an internet protocol television (IPTV) communication service. The method includes: acquiring an application message providing the IPTV communication service from an external input with respect to a general-purpose web application by using plug-in application programming interfaces (APIs) of a web browser which are independent of an IPTV communication service provider; sending the application message to an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) gateway (IG) functional entity apparatus; and receiving a response message comprising a result of processing the application message as a response to the sending of the application message, from the IG functional entity apparatus.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a content displaying system and method using message communications. An embodiment of the system includes a server to store a large number of content therein, a device interface module to receive a message to display content or to receive content from the server, a device agent module for creating a message requesting content included in a list of content from the server, where the device interface module has received the message containing the content list and transmits it to the server through the device interface module, and for receiving the requested content from the server through the device interface module, a content processing module to convert the received content into a suitable output format, and a display apparatus including a display module to output the converted content.
Abstract:
A method for constructing and searching an improved Huffman table which is capable of improving the efficiency over an existing Huffman table in a decoding method and apparatus using a Huffman code. The method includes creating an improved Huffman table including an increment of a Huffman code length and the number of times Huffman code lengths repeats; generating a new bit string by extracting bits by the increment of the Huffman code length and adding the extracted bits to the end of a previous bit string; and reading values of corresponding codes by the number of times Huffman code length repeats from the improved Huffman table and determining whether values identical to a value of the new bit string are present. According to the present invention, unnecessary consumption of system resources can be reduced by decreasing the number of times search and comparison routines of Huffman codes are used.
Abstract:
A gateway device for remote control and a method for the same are provided. The gateway device includes a verifying unit which verifies whether a user has a proper authority to access the gateway connected to a device; a guide unit which provides information about the device to the communication terminal of the user if it is verified that the user has the proper access authority; a generating unit which generates a control command corresponding to information selected by the user among the information provided to communication terminal; a converting unit which converts the control command which is generated to be compatible with a protocol used by the device; and a transceiver which transmits the control command to the device.
Abstract:
A device and method for are provided requesting and providing content information over a network, in which content information stored in network devices on the network can be rapidly provided by transmitting a search request packet, in which predetermined search conditions are set, to the network devices in a multicast manner. The device includes a search request unit which generates a search request packet to request an information search for content from devices existing on the network; a transmitting unit which transmits the constructed search request packet to the devices existing on the network in a multicast manner; and a result collection unit which collects and manages content information received from the devices that received the search request packet.
Abstract:
