Feature of current IPTV services is that the IPTV Provider buys the rights of contents from contents author and provides consumers monopolistically with those. In this environment, IPTV is indistinguishable from the way of existing broadcasting services. To shift away from this structure, it is necessary to guarantee the common user's participation and provide the Open IPTV services for customers to be allowed to have be defined for more opportunities to select the contents. However, there are some problems to conduct Open IPTV service due to a variety of rights protection solutions designed by previous digital broadcast providers. Therefore, a new framework is needed to overall Open IPTV environment. This paper provides the design can packaging contents authoring and consuming tool for IPTV application service based on Open IPTV.

As a convergence media, IPTV is expected to provide better learning experience with customized and individualized contents. Yet, little has been known in the are of contents development. Hence, the purpose of this study was to explore educational use of IPTV in terms of design and development perspective. First, this paper identifies the concept and characteristics of IPTV in an educational context. Second, it categorizes the types of IPTV contents. Lastly, the paper discusses guidelines for the design, development, and management of educational IPTV contents.

This study deals with the proposition of the diversification strategy for participation contents service based on the open IPTV policy, and the strategic implication for IPTV players. This paper demonstrates implication for activation of participation contents to IPTV players with reference to differentiation of usages and needs to internet and television. Thus this paper proposes for diversification of player's competency (1) variety of production channels for contents, (2) enhanced accessibility, and (3) the strategic consistency for industrial eco-system. Moreover, this paper suggests that device differentiation for creation of demand, boosting customer satisfaction & immersion through closely interlocking contents.

One of the most typical examples of convergence is IPTV, a convergence of broadcast and telecommunication. Demand for IPTV has been increased so rapidly that a new TV set, called a smart TV, has appeared. One of the most important factors for IPTV business success is content. If an IPTV station provides popular content and subscribers can conveniently watch it then the station has a good chance of success. Therefore, the content management module is extremely important component of IPTV systems. In the current IPTV systems, operators must be present at the office to access a Content Management System(CMS). We implement a web CMS so that the operators can access the CMS anytime and anywhere as long as they are connected to Internet.

오늘날 폐쇄형 IPTV 서비스 환경에서는 일방적인 콘텐츠 제공자로부터 생성 및 생성된 콘텐츠를 소비자가 일방적으로 소비하는 형태이다. 그러나 기존 디지털 콘텐츠의 유통 및 소비과정에서 콘텐츠를 보호하기 위한 각 제공 업체의 솔루션이 독자적인 방식으로 개발되어 이들 간의 호환성 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문은 IP 네트워크를 통해 소비자가 개인 방송 콘텐츠 사업자와 같이 멀티미디어 콘텐츠를 생성, 편집하고 고유한 방식으로 스타일대로 콘텐츠를 메타데이타와 함께 패키지 콘텐츠로 재가공하여 소비할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 재가공된 패키지 콘텐츠를 공유 또는 재판매 할 수 있게 하는 개방형 IPTV 서비스 환경에서의 패키지 콘텐츠의 실시간 스트리밍 및 주문형 서비스의 차별적 제공 방안을 제안한다.

IPTV는 방송과 통신이 융합된 모범 사례로 널리 알려지고 있으며, 가까운 미래에는 인터넷 통신량의 대부분을 IPTV 데이터가 차지할 것으로 예상할 만큼 유망한 연구 주제이다. 근래에는 스마트TV라는 용어가 등장하였으나 이것 역시 IPTV의 범주를 벗어나지 못한다. IPTV 시스템을 구성하는 가장 중요한 요소 부분은 콘텐츠 관리와 방송관리이며, 본 논문은 콘텐츠 관리에 대하여 조사 연구한다.

Recently IPTV that transmits multimedia contents in real time through internet, cable TV net and satelite net gets the limelight. But IPTV service that gives service to users by various media has a problem of not supporting user certification fully. This paper suggests a certification model which prevents getting access permission of IPTV service by sending illegal certification information by adolescent through integrating mobile communication technique with RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) technique which is a key technique of Ubiquitous environment. This model performs the process of adult certification by keeping synchronization with user's certificaiton information that is saved in data-base of certification server and contents server after getting the system of class categorization in contents server to overcome disadvantage of simple adult certification system that is popular in the existing internet. Also, it adapts double hash chain technique not to down load illegally contents without the permission of manager even if an adolescent gets manager's approval key.

Recently, the importance of IPTV providing multimedia service over IP based networks managed to provide the required level of quality of service and experience, security, interactivity and reliability has been gradually increasing by the commercialization of its service. However, the original purposes of IPTV service - contents are produced and consumed anytime, anywhere, and over any device at the same time - have not been satisfied by service providers because most services offered by service providers depend on closed IPTV platform. In this paper, we propose an open IPTV service platform that an individual or small company can easily produce contents and offer IPTV service independently from the existing closed IPTV platform.. The proposed IPTV platform exploits overlay multicast scheme to offer reasonable service under the environment where network bandwidth and processor resource are limited. It also uses CDN-like scheme to ensure the quality of transmitted contents. The performance evaluation shows that the proposed IPTV platform has the possibility of being an open IPTV platform considering its results such as the quality of transmitted contents, the transmission rate, the channel zapping time, and so on. It also shows that proposed IPTV platform could be applied to real IPTV service with continuous enhancement of its functions and user interfaces.

According to the IT839 strategy which was announced by the Ministry of Information and Communication(MIC) in 2004, the convergence trend of the broadcasting and the communication would be much more promoted. Thus, the methods for protecting the broadcasting contents will be indispensible elements for the successful IPTV service achievement. This paper describes the characteristics of IPTV and the related contents protection techniques. To evaluate several security issues, we suggest a security model for IPTV, and speculate the most widespread, two security technologies for IPTV such as CAS and DRM. Moreover, candidate models of IPTV protection system are suggested based on these technologies.

IPTV hasn't fulfilled the expectations that it will substitute existing digital broadcasting service and serve new type of services such as interactive and multi-channels. Today's IPTV service just seems to change existing service platform to new one. In this situation, Open IPTV service has been on the rise, which make it possible for consumers to choice contents regardless of contents providers. However, the integration of variety service platforms such as rights protection solution is essential to provide Open IPTV service. In this paper, authoring and consuming system for package contents based on MPEG-21 Multimedia Framework which is developed for distributing media resources.
