MPEG-21 defines a digital item as an atomic unit lot creation, delivery and consumption in order to provide an integrated multimedia framework in networked environments. It is expected that MPEG-21 standardization makes it Possible for users to universally access user's preferred contents in their own way they want. In order to achieve this goal, MPEG-21 has standardized the specifications for the Digital Item Declaration (DID). Digital Identification (DII), Rights Expression Language (REL), Right Data Dictionary (RDD) and Digital Item Adaptation (DIA), and is standardizing the specifications for the Digital Item Processing (DIP), Persistent Association Technology (PAT) and Intellectual Property Management and Protection (IPMP) tot transparent and secured usage of multimedia. In this paper, we design an MPEG-21 terminal architecture based one the MPEG-21 standard with DID, DIA and DIP, and implement with the MPEG-21 terminal. We make a video summarization service scenario in order to validate ow proposed MPEG-21 terminal for the feasibility to of DID, DIA and DIP. Then we present a series of experimental results that digital items are processed as a specific form after adaptation fit for the characteristics of MPEG-21 terminal and are consumed with interoperability based on a PC and a PDA platform. It is believed that this paper has n important significance in the sense that we, for the first time, implement an MPEG-21 terminal which allows for a video summarization service application in an interoperable way for digital item adaptation and processing nth experimental results.

Since MPEG-21 IPMP has been working on International Standardization activity such as one of DRM systems from 1997, the standardization is recently re-started even though the activity was interrupted. According to the MPEG Brisbane meeting, the CfR of MPEG-21 IPMP will be determined on the next Hawaii meeting, therefore they will announce the CfP. However the CfP announced in MPEG Hawaii meeting but the CfR didn't announce because of unfinished requirement document job. Finally. the proposed techniques will be submitted till June 2004. In this paper, we explained the requirement of standardization based on a broadcasting circumstance and implemented the system of MPEG-21 including the architecture and IPMP systems, then we showed all functionality within the other MPEG-21 elements engines. In case of multimedia stream broadcasting system, it is a real-time processing system, the implemented MEPG-21 Architecture can be shown the use of Digital Item In the MPEG-21 terminal and additional MPEG-21 element engines.

Problem of compatibility, content protection, contents circulation ok. was caused between contents offerer and consumers by indiscreet right technical development about digital contents. The MPEG committee proposed MPEG-21 framework for these problem solution and for right managing in MPEG-21 inside XML(eXtensible Markup Language)'s structure REL(Right Expression Language) that is a right expression language propose. Contents protection, circulation, standard right information representation for administration that is reasonable and is the transposition enemy mutually by REL's use doing based on this MPEG-21 were available. Fast correspondence about new technology is necessary circumstance because present MPEG-21 is in study step and REL edit solution as infra technology is required. Also, development of REL document edit system is required mere because this REL document edit has difficulty in edit except expert with MPEG-21 Framework. In this paper, designed and embody about REL document mastication system that right creation and edit are available efficiently about contents easily without comprehension of MPEG-21 framework and client system that present consumption method of REL right document.

The vision for MPEG-21 is to define a multimedia framework to enable transparent and augmented use of multimedia resources across a wide range of networks and devices used by different communities MPEG-21 Event Reporting is required within the MPEG-21 Multimedia Framework in order to provide a standardized means for sharing information about Events amongst Peers and Users. There are several Time used in MPEG-21 Event Reporting. In this paper, we analyze and categorize various kinds of Time used in Event Reporting. And we define ERTimeType to be applied for every. Time used in Event Reporting and implement it by XML to support interoperability of standard. The ERTimeType structure we defined is established its objectivity as it is selected to 'ISO/IEC 21000-Part IS: Event Reporting WD 2.0'.

MPEG-21 is an on-progress project of the Moving Picture Expert Group (MPEG) that has been started in many independent parts such as part for standardizing the declaration of a digital item (MPEG-21 Part 2: Digital Item Declaration), right expression language (MPEG-21 Part S: Rights Expression Language), way to process the digital item (MPEG-21 Part 10: Digital Item Processing), etc. All this part is intended to form a framework to enable transparent and augmented use of multimedia resources across a wide range of networks and devices (1). In this paper, we show our research initiative to develop a web-based application that utilized many parts of MPEG-21 technology. The implemented concept uses a digital item and license providers in the server side while the MPEG-21 Conformant application is implemented as a plug-in application that will be downloaded to the user terminal when user accesses the webpage for the frist time. The result of this research shows that with some combination of MPEG-21 parts, we can develop an authorized multimedia delivery and consumption application.

In this paper, we propose the structure of multimedia file format based on MPEG-21 standard and the method to address a media resource within the file. The proposed multimedia file format supports the backward compatibility with MPEG-4 and the efficient addressing a media resource from a Digital Item that is XML-based MPEG-21 content. Also, the proposed multimedia file format can provide the functionality to package various types of media contents structurally and efficiently in digital broadcasting, Internet, and wireless environment. In addition, it can be a base model for multimedia file format that can be used for many different purposes such as integration and usage of metadata and multimedia contents.

Today, thanks to the spread of Internet and the development of various multimedia technologies, broadcasting environment is changing in a way to merging broadcasting and communication environment. In such a new environment, transparent delivery and interoperability between different technologies become an important issue. In ISO/IEC MPEG meeting, MPEG-21 has been established. In MPEG-21, it is discussed actively about big picture to build an infrastructure for the delivery and consumption of multimedia contents. In this paper, we have applied Digital Item in MPEG-21 to broadcasting contents. Broadcasting Digital Item is generated using MPEG-7 MDS for the description of resources as well as Digital Item Declaration, and Digital Item Identification. Furthermore, we develop Digital Item generation system and parsing system. In experiment, we verify the usefulness of Broadcasting Digital Item by generating an education video contents and consuming it at different user environments.

In this paper, we propose a visual accessibility technique in an MPEG-21 framework. In particular, MPEG-21 visual accessibility for the colored-visual resource of a digital item is proposed to give better accessibility of color information to people with color vision deficiency (CVD). We propose an adaptation system for CVD as well as a description of CVD in MPEG-21. To verify the usefulness of the proposed method, computer simulations with CVD and color adaptation were performed. Furthermore, a statistical experiment was performed using volunteers with CVD in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed visual accessibility technique in MPEG-21. Both the experimental and simulation results show that the proposed adaptations technique can provide better color information, particularly to people with CVD.

In this paper, we present an Event Reporting which is one of the major items of MPEG-21 and exemplify two digital data broadcasting use case scenarios, and according1y we propose the Event Reporting message structure for MPEG-21 broadcasting contents that is based on these use case scenarios. Every interaction with a Digital Item in the multimedia framework can be called an Event. The need to standardize Event Reporting within the Multimedia Framework arise from the need to monitor and communicate amongst Peers and Users the Events relating to Digital Items and/or the programs and devices that operate on them at any given time. However, there are a number of difficulties in providing an accurate report about an Event. Different observers of the Event may have vastly different perspectives. In this paper, we describe a structure and vision of the Event Reporting. Besides we show the activities on MPEG-21 Event Reporting standardization.
