Abstract:
The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for personal identification for performing a user identification or authentication on a TV or a set-top box (STB) required when providing a personalized service on a TV. The personal identification apparatus according to the present invention includes a remote control unit and a personal identification unit. The remote control unit includes a normal key and a special key, and receives a user authentication request, an identifier and a password through the normal key and the special key and delivers the user authentication request, the identifier and the password to the personal identification unit. The personal identification unit provides a user authentication interface screen based on the received user authentication request, determines whether to register the user is registered or not based on the received identifier and the password, and provides personalized service if the user is registered.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a device for transmitting augmented broadcast metadata comprising a metadata generation unit to generate augmented broadcast metadata which is data required for augmented content to be overlapped on broadcast content; and a metadata transmission unit to transmit the generated augmented broadcast metadata to a user terminal.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for providing additional information of contents are provided to respect the watch of a contents program by minimizing an additional information providing screen of an appearance element appearing with contents. CONSTITUTION: A receiving terminal judges whether additional information of contents exists or not based on an indicator who is extracted from received metadata and overlays an appearance element of the contents (S300,S310). The receiving terminal outputs connection information for the download of simple additional information related to the appearance element and detailed additional information and downloads the detailed additional information from a server (S320,S330). The receiving terminal notifies the presence of the downloaded detailed additional information after the end of the contents and outputs the detailed additional information on a screen (S340,S350). [Reference numerals] (AA) Start; (BB) End; (S300) Judge whether additional information of contents exists or not; (S310) Output the appearance element of the contents by overlaying a graphic object on the appearance element of the contents; (S320) Output connection information for the download of simple additional information related to the appearance element and detailed additional information; (S330) Download and store the detailed additional information from a server; (S340) Notify the presence of the downloaded detailed additional information after the end of the contents; (S350) Output the detailed additional information on a screen
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A network connection terminal, a network supplying agency, and a network connection method using the same are provided to enable a user to intuitively connect a service and to minimize network resource. CONSTITUTION: An application unit(110) supplies various content to a user from an agency. An information collector(180) collects directional information of an agency image, agency information, and a current user. A managing unit(140) manages the directional information of the user, agency information, and network information. An interface unit(120) displays the agency image and the agency information.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A sensory effect expression method, an apparatus for the method, and a computer readable medium in which sensory device control metadata is recorded are provided to maximize the reproduction effect of media by expressing sensory effect during the reproduction. CONSTITUTION: An input unit(504) receives sensory effect metadata including sensory effect information. A control unit(506) acquires the sensory effect information by analyzing the sensory effect metadata and creates sensory device control metadata for controlling the sensory device corresponding to the sensory effect information. The sensory device performance metadata includes sensory device control technique information.
