Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing a channel-associated optional service. The method for providing a channel-associated optional service includes transmitting, in response to a service request from a user terminal, the service request to a broadcast receiving device that is mapped with the user terminal using an identifier mapping table; receiving channel information of a currently received program from the broadcast receiving device that has received the service request, and searching for program information of a relevant channel using the received channel information; searching for optional service information related to a program scheduled to be currently broadcast using the found program information; and providing the found optional service information to the user terminal.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus for providing realistic broadcasting, the apparatus including a realistic broadcasting platform configured to divide received content into one or more modalities, curate the content with respect to each of the divided modalities, and generate a scenario based on the curated content and information about one or more realistically reproducing devices which are currently available; and an immersive media gateway configured to generate the information about one or more realistically reproducing devices, and provide a realistic broadcasting service to a user based on the curated content and the information about one or more realistically reproducing devices.
Abstract:
A transcoding server is provided, and the transcoding server includes a receiving unit configured to receive image data and additional information via a communication network; an additional middleware configured to process the received additional information; a decoding unit configured to decode the received image data; an overlay-mixer configured to generate integrated image data by overlaying the decoded image data with the processed additional information; an encoding unit configured to encode the generated integrated data image; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the encoded integrated image data to one or more terminals.
Abstract:
There are provided a file management server for ensuring security in a cloud computing environment, and a file management method thereof. The file management server includes: a file registration unit configured to store a file in a plurality of chunk servers, and to manage a security level of the file; and a file search unit configured to receive a file access request from a client module, to check a security level of a file corresponding to the file access request, to notify, if the security level of the file is equal to or higher than a predetermined security level, the file's owner that a request for accessing the file has been made.
Abstract:
There are provided a concept of mixing and synchronizing a plurality of pieces of content and of providing mixed content to an N-screen terminal, a method for overcoming limitations of a mobile terminal using a thin-client technique based on cloud computing and an apparatus for providing mixed content based on cloud computing. The apparatus for providing mixed content based on cloud computing includes a content server configured to, in response to a content request, execute a piece of content and provide content execution results, a content access middleware configured to allocate one or more virtual terminals to the content server, receive the content execution results from the content server and synchronize the content execution results, and a virtual convergence gateway server configured to receive the synchronized content execution results, generate mixed content and provide the mixed content to the user terminal using a split-screen method and a multi-screen method.
Abstract:
A data redirection system and a method of providing a data redirection service are provided. The data redirection system includes a thin-client terminal configured to be connected to a local peripheral device and receive multimedia data from the local peripheral device; and a redirection server configured to be connected to the thin-client terminal via a network, receive the multimedia data from the thin-client terminal, execute the multimedia data in an application program and transmit an execution result screen displaying the result of the execution to the thin-client terminal.
Abstract:
Provided is a node control apparatus communicating an external Internet Protocol (IP) network and managing a plurality of mobile nodes included in a local network. The node control apparatus manages information relating to the plurality of mobile nodes, each equipped with one or more wireless interfaces, configures one or more groups by classifying the plurality of mobile nodes according to the type(s) of the wireless interface(s) of each of the plurality of mobile nodes, selects a representative node for each of the groups, and allows the member nodes of each of the groups to communicate with the external IP network via their representative node. Therefore, it is possible to minimize power consumption by selectively using a wireless interface for use in connecting to the representative node of each of the groups.
