Abstract:
An apparatus and method for receiving broadcast data in a portable digital broadcasting receiver. A Radio Frequency (RF) receiver receives a broadcast signal. A data demodulator demodulates the broadcast signal. Upon receipt of a broadcast-related key from a user, a controller controls the data demodulator to operate in a concentrated channel switching mode and acquire, from the broadcast signal, data of all broadcast channels including a broadcast channel selected by the user. Upon failure to receive broadcast-related key for channel switching for a predetermined time, the controller controls the data demodulator to operate in a selected channel viewing mode and acquire data of the broadcast channel selected by the user from the broadcast signal.
Abstract:
Provided are a data service managing apparatus and method for a frequency band extension, a Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) data server using the same, and a DMB receiving system for a broadband data service. The data service managing apparatus for the frequency band extension accommodates a broadband DMB data service by using a basic DMB transmission system having a predetermined basic frequency band and an additional DMB transmission system having an additional frequency band other than the basic frequency band. The apparatus includes: a band confirmation unit for confirming a frequency band used for each data service; and a data distributor for distributing service data to a system capable of processing the service data among the basic DMB transmission system and the additional DMB transmission system based on the frequency band confirmed by the band confirmation unit.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for providing an IPDC service, and an apparatus and a method for processing the IPDC service are provided to generate and transmit IPDG packets with various types, such as a normal type, a DAB-RTP(Digital Audio Broadcasting-Real Time Protocol) type, a compressed RTP type, and a compressed IP type, according to the characteristic of the IPDC service such as a bandwidth, a purpose, and a receiving range of a broadcasting receiver, thereby providing the IPDC service while using efficiently a bandwidth in a DAB or DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) system. An apparatus for providing an IPDC(Internet Protocol Datacasting) service comprises the following steps of: generating an IP(Internet Protocol) packet and the signaling information of the IP packet(S1610); determining a type of an IPDG(Internet Protocol Data Group) packet generated by capsulating the IP packet based on the characteristic of the IPDC service(S1620); generating the IPDG packet according to the data type of the IP packet and generating the IPDG packet for the signaling information of the IP packet(S1630); generating the IPDG packet as a TS(Transfer Stream) packet(S1640); and transmitting the TS packet(S1650).
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of providing a digital broadcast, by which a CA (Conditional Access) digital broadcast can be temporarily provided to enable a digital broadcast user to easily decide whether to subscribe to a pay broadcasting service by allowing the broadcast user to temporarily access the pay broadcasting service without necessary qualification or condition. SOLUTION: A method of providing a digital broadcast according to the present invention includes a transmission frame generation step of generating a digital broadcast transmission frame for digital broadcast content including time-limited broadcast reception admission information to enable the digital broadcast to be received for a predetermined limited time.

Abstract:
A terrestrial DMB receiver using an imaginary channel in a terrestrial DMB system is disclosed. The terrestrial DMB receiver includes: a key input unit for receiving an input from a user; a display unit for providing image output to the user; an imaginary channel storage unit for storing information on imaginary channels designated to each broadcasting service by the user; a DMB receiving unit for receiving terrestrial DMB broadcasting; a MCI/SI analyzer for analyzing MCI and SI of FIC information from a DMB broadcasting signal received through the DMB receiving unit; and a controller for searching for the imaginary channel storage unit according to values of number keys input from the key input unit, extracting service IDs, controlling the DMB receiving unit to select broadcasting services according to the extracted service IDs, checking the information analyzed through the MCI/SI analyzer, and performing an update for the imaginary channel storage unit.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of upgrading software through a software download in a terrestrial DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) terminal. SOLUTION: The terrestrial DMB terminal confirms an announcement message containing information for announcing when the software is downloaded by analyzing a plurality of fast information groups (FIGs) in a received terrestrial DMB signal, determines whether the software is downloaded according to information contained in the announcement message, stores ensemble information and download start time information among the information contained in the announcement message if it is determined that the software is downloaded, matches a current ensemble with the stored ensemble when time according to the download start time information comes, confirms a signaling message for informing that the software is downloaded by analyzing an FIG received through the matched ensemble, and downloads the software.

Abstract:
An indication to make a terrestrial broadcast ad spot associated with a terrestrial broadcast available for bid via a digital demand side platform is received. A bid request is sent to the digital demand side platform based at least in part on the indication. An indication of a winning bid for the terrestrial broadcast ad spot is received. A creative ad content associated with the winning bid is caused to be included in the terrestrial broadcast at a time associated with the terrestrial broadcast ad spot.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system for transmitting and receiving audio, particularly, to a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving of object-based audio contents, which packetizes audio objects having the same characteristic. To achieve the above, the present invention includes filtering a plurality of ESs according to common information, adding a packet header to the respective filtered ESs and generate ES packets, aggregating all the generated ES packets and then adding a multi-object packet header to the aggregated ES packets to generate an object packet, and multiplexing the generated object packet, packetizing the multiplexed object packet according to a transmitting media and transmitting the packetized object packet.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for transmitting digital multimedia broadcasting data, and a method and apparatus for receiving digital multimedia broadcasting data. A basic audio signal and a multichannel audio signal are encoded to generate a basic audio stream and a multichannel audio stream, and a first data stream describing property and position data of the basic audio stream and a second data stream describing property and position data of the multichannel audio stream are transmitted as independent streams. According to the performance of the receiving apparatus, an audio signal may be decoded by using just the first data stream only or both the first data stream and the second stream.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for optimizing idle mode stand-by time in wireless device operable in a multicast system are disclosed. In order to maximize or optimize the stand-by time for idle mode, a time line for decoding of overhead information symbol (OIS) data received in one or more superframes in the wireless device. Based on the determined time line, an offset time period can be determined for setting an idle mode timer period used by the wireless device to decode the OIS information. By offsetting the timer period, a wireless device can be ensured to wake up and prepared to latch OIS information before the start of a superframe boundary, thus minimizing the wake up time of the device operating in an idle mode and, in turn, optimizing stand-by time.
