Abstract:
The present invention relates to a standby mode control apparatus and method for saving power consumption of a wired/wireless terminal, such as a set-top box or an Internet of Things (IoT) device, by controlling the terminal on the basis of a terminal usage pattern and context information of the terminal, wherein the standby mode control apparatus may include an activation history information generator and a standby mode determiner, and according to the present invention, since a standby mode is controlled and set by predicting a terminal usage pattern of a user, it provides user convenience and saves power consumption during a standby period, and it provides more effectively save power consumption during the standby period through more accurate prediction using a usage probability calculated by analyzing context information.
Abstract:
An audience selection type augmented broadcasting service providing apparatus and method is provided. The audience selection type augmented broadcasting service providing apparatus may include an augmented broadcast producing server to process a production process of augmented contents to provide the augmented broadcasting service, for broadcast contents, a broadcasting server to multiplex and transmit the broadcast contents and metadata for the augmented broadcasting service, and an augmented content receiving terminal to process the augmented contents based on the metadata for the augmented broadcasting service, while playing the broadcast contents.
Abstract:
In a method of receiving augmenting content, broadcast content and augmenting content are received from a broadcast content providing apparatus, metadata related to the broadcast content is interpreted to check an indicator indicating such that augmenting content are applicable, and augmenting content are requested from an augmenting content providing apparatus by using access information of the augmenting content providing apparatus. Thereafter, augmenting content are received from the augmenting content providing apparatus, and augmenting content received in the augmenting content receiving step are synchronized with the broadcast content and output to a temporal/spatial region corresponding to display region information included in the metadata or the display region information is transmitted to a separate output device. Thus, a viewer can conveniently receive area information-based augmenting content in the form of large capacity multimedia including a graphic image or video without having to perform searching.
Abstract:
A network management apparatus and method for remotely controlling a state of an IT device in order to use WOL to change a remote device from an inactive state to an active state over an IP network. The network management apparatus includes a detection pattern generator, a remote state controller, and a wake-up cause analyzer. By activating an inactivated PC connected over an IP network and positioned at a remote site using WOL to control a state of another IT device interoperating through the IP network as well as a state of the PC, it is possible to inactivate the device without unnecessarily having to leave the device on and then control the device as necessary, thereby reducing power consumption of the device and extending a lifetime of the device.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of providing a video contents service including calculating conversion information indicating a relation between a projection area and an area corresponding to the projection area in order to project video contents on the area corresponding to the projection area which is a partial area within a prepared image in a user image photographed by a user terminal; and transmitting the calculated conversion information to the user terminal.
Abstract:
Provided is a remote screen transmitting method and a remote screen transmitting system. The remote screen transmitting method may include collecting, on a predetermined cycle, power data from a thin client terminal connected to a virtualization server through a network, determining a remote screen transmitting scheme based on the collected power data, and transmitting, to the thin client terminal, a first remote screen associated with an application executed on the virtualization server based on the remote screen transmitting scheme.
Abstract:
A method of acquiring an Internet protocol (IP) address to control a standby mode of a set-top box, and the set-top box and a power management server performing the method are disclosed. The method may include determining whether a state of the set-top box changes from a broadcasting state in which a broadcasting service is provided to a passive standby state in which a network connection between the set-top box and a headend providing the broadcasting service is blocked, receiving state information associated with an IP address allocated to the set-top box for the network connection in response to the state of the set-top box changing to the passive standby state, and transmitting, to the set-top box, a state change command to maintain the network connection for the IP address allocated to the set-top box based on the received state information.
Abstract:
Provided is a random backoff apparatus and method for receiving augmented content that may prevent a delay or a down of a server caused by a plurality of receiving terminals accessing a server simultaneously, when a digital broadcasting system provides broadcast-based bidirectional broadcasting services over a communication network. That is, a technology for distributing receiving terminals accessing a server to receive augmented content, or accessing a home page of a corresponding program, based on metadata transferred from the digital broadcasting system to a broadcasting network. In a bidirectional digital method, a number of requests for access to the home page or the augmented content related to the program may be received from receiving terminals at one time. Accordingly, there is a desire for a method of preventing collision caused when a plurality of stations simultaneously access a single wireless channel.
