This paper, we study on multiple wireless network module support for the Android based set-top box. Limitation of mobile OS, Android based set-top box has limited choice of various wireless network modules, Atheros, Realtek, Ralink, etc. In this paper, for the request of Set-top box supplier and market demands, we research on reconfigure & change the Android network HAL(Hardware Abstract Layer) for Wi-Fi networking support and implementation about multiple Wi-Fi module support platform.

In this paper, we propose a key distribution scheme for flexible chipset pairing conditional access system. Chipset pairing conditional access system is the implementation of CA (Conditional Access) module by using both embedded secure chip in a Set-Top Box(STB) and smartcard, and the secure chip embedded in a STB forms a secure channel between the smartcard and the STB. In short, it is the system that a smartcard outputs encrypted CW (Control Word) to the STB, and the STB decrypts an encrypted CW by using the embedded secure chip. The drawback of this chipset pairing conditional access system is that one smartcard is able to be used for only one specified STB since it is the system using the STB bound to a smartcard. However, the key distribution scheme proposed in this paper overcomes a drawback of current chipset pairing conditional access system by using Chinese Remainder Theorem(CRT). To be specific, with this scheme, one smartcard can be used for multiple, not single, STBs, and applied to current chipset pairing without great changes.

In an IPTV system, the rights of the content and service provider can be protected by using Conditional Access System (CAS) and Digital Right Management (DRM). In case of the CAS, only the authorized user who has structured authentication keys can decrypt the encrypted content. However, since the CAS establishes a secure channel only between content provider and Smart Card (SC), it cannot protect the system against McCormac Hack attack which eavesdrops on unsecure channel between SC and Set-Top Box (STB) and SC cloning attack. In this paper, we propose a robust multi-STB assisted SC / STB authentication protocol which can protect the IPTV system against not only McCormac Hack attack, but also SC cloning attack. The previous works which bind a STB and a SC during the SC registration phase against the SC cloning attack does not support multi-STB environments. The proposed system which dynamically updates the STB information in subscriber management system using the bi-directional channel characteristic of IPTV system can support the user's multi-STB device effectively.

The hard disk is one of the most frequently used storage in IPTV sep-top box. It has large storage capacity and provides fast I/O speed compared to its price whereas it causes high power consumption due to mechanical characteristics of spindle motor. In order to play streaming data in the set-top box, spindle motor of hard disk keeps active mode and it causes high power consumption. In this paper, We propose an offset-buffering and multi-mode spin-down method to reduce power consumption for streaming data playback. The offset-buffering inspects the user's viewing pattern and performs buffering based on the analysis of viewing pattern. So, it can maintain the status of spindle motor as idle mode for long time. Besides, it can reduce power consumption by spinning down according to offset-buffer size. The experimental result shows that proposed offset-buffering and multi mode spin-down method is about 28.3% and 12.5% lower than the full-Buffering method in terms of the power consumption and spin-down frequency, respectively.

In digital broadcasting, applications are computer programs executed by the set-top box(TV receiver) , and synchronized applications are those that perform tasks at the specified moments in the underlying video. This paper describes important concepts, standards, and skills needed to implement synchronized applications and explains how to integrate them to implement these applications. This Paper assumes the European data broadcasting standard, DVB-MHP. In DVB-MHP, scheduled stream events are recommended as a means of synchronizing applications with video streams. In this method, the application receives each stream event, and executes the action associated with the stream event at the time specified in the stream event. Commercially available stream generators, i.e., multiplexers, do not generate transport streams that support scheduled stream events. So we used a stream generator implemented in our lab. We implemented a synchronized application where the actions triggered by stream events are to display graphic images. We found that our synchronized application processes scheduled stream events successfully. In our experimentation, the stream events were synchronized with the video and the deviation from the intended time was within 240 ㎳, which is a tolerance for synchronization skew between graphic images and video.

Recently, multi-core processors have been drawing significant interest from the embedded systems research and industry communities due mainly to their potential for achieving high performance and fault-tolerance at low cost in such products as automobiles and cell phones. To process multimedia data, a scheduling algorithm is required to meet timing constraints of periodic tasks in the system. Though Pfair scheduling algorithm can meet all the timing constraints while achieving 100% utilization on multi-core based system theoretically, however, the algorithm incurs high scheduling overheads including frequent core migrations and system-wide synchronizations. To mitigate the problems, we propose a real-time scheduling algorithm for multi-core based system so that system-wide scheduling is performed only when it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise the proposed algorithm performs scheduling within each core independently. The experimental results by extensive simulations show that the proposed algorithm dramatically reduces the scheduling overheads up to as negligible one when the utilization is under 80%.

In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for non-streaming synchronized data processing based on ATSC-DASE in terrestrial digital data broadcasting services. Non-streaming synchronized data is encapsulated in DSM-CC sections with PTS(presentation time stamp) values associated with A/V and it is transmitted in a form of MPEG-2 TS(transport stream). At the receiver, the transmitted A/V data are processed by PC based set-top box(STB) in real-time, and the transmitted non-streaming synchronized data is also stored at the STB and is displayed at right time by the proposed algorithm. To verity the proper operation of the proposed algorithm, we make a scenario for non-streaming synchronized data by XML, and finally we are able to display it properly by using declarative application(DA) browser.

Recently, the spread of smart TV based Android iOS Set Top box has become common. This paper propose a new approach to control the TV using gestures away from the era of controlling the TV using remote control. In this paper, the AdaBoost algorithm is applied to gesture recognition by using a mono camera. First, we use Camshift-based Body tracking and estimation algorithm based on Gaussian background removal for body coordinate extraction. Using global and local feature vectors, we recognized gestures with speed change. By tracking the time interval trajectories of hand and wrist, the AdaBoost algorithm with CART algorithm is used to train and classify gestures. The principal component feature vector with high classification success rate is searched using CART algorithm. As a result, 24 optimal feature vectors were found, which showed lower error rate (3.73%) and higher accuracy rate (95.17%) than the existing algorithm.
