  • Set-top Box (STB) has evolved from being a device just sitting on top of a TV shelf to a device providing a gateway to the Internet for a home network, receiving services from multiple content providers, and enabling and ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) for the streaming media. IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), with its promise to provide a converged access network for multimedia service delivery (such as Triple play & Quadruple play services), has to guarantee QoS support. To enable QoS in IMS-based networks, we have designed a set-top box which provides feedback to the service provider to ensure end-to-end QoS. Our set-top box is designed to provide virtual platforms such that it can support multiple service providers. Each service provider is able to manage its own multimedia streams and ensures the desired network performance for each flow. The set-top box also works as a Home Gateway and provides end-to-end QoS support to the client nodes.

  • It requires protection technologies to permit consumer to store a digital broadcasting content and at the same time to protect the intellectual property from illegal action. There is content encryption as one of protection technologies. In this paper, we proposed a protection scheme for digital broadcasting content that broadcasting server. Multiplexes the encryption key into MPEG-2 TS(transport stream) to be able to encrypt received TS at set top box. The proposed method is to modify PMT(program map table) for the information related encryption key and to multiplex key as TS packets. After then the encryption key is extracted from TS stream which is encrypted in set top box.

  • In these days the patient can be easy to see the treatment results at home without going directly to hospital. Despite the many advantages that the patient is got optimum service timely, the currently used personal healthcare devices have no compatibility because the manufacturer use the proprietary software and hardware protocols. For these issues, standardization is required between the set-top box and the individual healthcare devices. In this paper, we designed the healthcare set-top box possible to biometric data transmission by using a standard IEEE P11073 between the device and the set-top box. Because the set-top box using IEEE P11073 standardization can transfer data independently, we are expected to make it contribute significantly to the healthcare business.

  • This paper is the study of effective recovery system in the android set-top box, using NTP (Network Time Protocol). Because of Response to the user react quickly in case of a set-top box, needs compared to other electronic products, set-top box is one of always powered features to work at home. But general-purpose OS such as Android-based set-top box have to reset for cache & main memory initialization. In this paper, we introduce system reset & recovery by NTP client utilizing.

  • This paper propose a solution to resolve data overflow or leakage when a subscriber receive data to service provider. The set-top box can communicate with a service provider and can inform the service provider its data overflow or leakage. When service provider received this control signal, it changes data transmit rate and transmits data with changed rate. The buffer of set-top box is important because incoming data from a service provider are stored by it.

  • This paper is research to control method between wireless LCD TV and Set-Top-Box. Audio and Video signal control of wireless LCD TV through Set-Top-Box, usually two systems fairly be away, there is weakness that must go to set-top-box for operation. In this paper design and manufacture to solve this weakness.

  • Set-top Box which receives broadcasting signal and delivers it to display device such as TV usually doesn't have low-power mode, standby power mode. On the other side, most consumer electronics support standby power mode. The main reasons come from technical barriers and operational stability. Set-top box normally consumes 80~90% power of active mode even though turning off. This is much higher compared to other consumer electronics which consume less than 1W in standby power mode. However, most developed countries including Korea are enforcing the regulations which enhance energy efficiency of set-top box. This paper describes design and development of low-power set-top box. Key technologies are SoC supporting low-power mode, system hardware and software operating in separated power mode, and middleware managing the power with broadcasting system. Finally, we show energy saving expectation through development and proliferation.

  • Now a days, as a communications network is being broadband, IPTV(Internet Protocol Television) service which provides various two-way TV service is increasing. But as the data which is transmitted between IPTV set-top box and smart card is almost transmitted to set-top box, the illegal user who gets legal authority by approaching to the context of contents illegally using McComac Hack Attack is not prevented perfectly. In this paper, set-top box access security model is proposed which is for the protection from McComac Hack Attack that tries to get permission for access of IPTV service illegally making data line which is connected from smart card to set-top box by using same kind of other set-top box which illegal user uses. The proposed model reports the result of test which tests the user who wants to get permission illegally by registration the information of a condition of smart card which is usable in set-top box in certification server so that it prevents illegal user. Specially, the proposed model strengthen the security about set-top box by adapting public key which is used for establishing neighbor link and inter-certification process though secret value and random number which is created by Pseudo random function.
