We studied the current state-of-the-art of Smart TV, the challenges and the drawbacks. Mainly we discussed the lack of end-to-end solution. We then illustrated the differences between Smart TV and IPTV from network service provider point of view. Unlike IPTV, viewer of Smart TV's over-the-top (OTT) services could be global, such as foreign nationals in a country or viewers having special viewing preferences. Those viewers are sparsely distributed. The existing TV service deployment models over Internet are not suitable for such viewers as they are based on content popularity, hence we propose a community based service deployment methodology with proactive content caching on rendezvous points (RPs). In our proposal, RPs are intermediate nodes responsible for caching routing and decision making. The viewer's community formation is based on geographical locations and similarity of their interests. The idea of using context information to do proactive caching is itself not new, but we combined this with "in network caching" mechanism of content centric network (CCN) architecture. We gauge the performance improvement achieved by a community model. The result shows that when the total numbers of requests are same; our model can have significantly better performance, especially for sparsely distributed communities.

In order to respond to the ever-changing media environments in the era of smart and mobile technology, KBS has introduced and partially applied PIE-TV and PIE-nonTV modes that monitor the average number of viewers among the national population group by means of the sample household extraction method which is a traditional way of rating investigation. This study analyzes the correlation between the number of viewers of premiere, re-air broadcasting, and MPP channel programs and the number of OTT-based VOD viewers in reference to the data extracted from PIE-TV survey results. KBS conducted a survey for 3 months between June and August 2017 to measure the PIE-TV Index, based on which the above-mentioned correlation was analyzed with programs classified to entertainment, drama, and cultural programs. For data analysis, SPSS (Ver. 18.0 for Window, SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA) was utilized. It was assumed that when p<0.05 in the confidence interval of 95%, statistically significance would be secured. Among the 30 subjects in the simple correlation analysis, the parameter was determined by the Person correlation coefficient and the non-parameter by the Spearman correlation coefficient. Analysis results are as below: (1) As the number of viewers of premier entertainment, drama, and cultural programs was larger, the number of VOD viewers was larger accordingly. (2) As for entertainment and drama programs, as the number of re-air broadcasting viewers was larger, the number of VOD viewers decreased accordingly. (2) As for entertainment and drama programs, as the number of MPP viewers was larger, the number of VOD viewers decreased accordingly. It is expected that this statistical data can be utilized for strategic planning of MPP channel lineups including terrestrial TV broadcasting, cable TV, etc.

최근의 망 중립성 논쟁은 전송 차등화와 그에 따른 비용정산으로 전환되고 있으며, 이와 같은 현상은 수직 계열화된 네트워크 사업자가 경쟁 사업자를 배제하기 위한 전략이라는 주장이 제기되고 있다. 이와 같은 맥락에서 본 연구는 네트워크 사업자의 전송 차등화 사례를 분석하고, IX 시장에서 수직 계열화된 네트워크 사업자의 문제점을 검토했다. 연구결과 전송 차등화 현상은 향후 OTT나 스마트TV 응용 프로그램과 같이 범용 망을 사용하는 콘텐츠에 대한 차별화 현상을 가중시킬 것으로 전망되며, 관련법에서는 이와 같은 문제를 해결할 수 있는 방법이 애매한 것으로 나타났다. 더욱이 ISP 시장에서 수직 계열화되어 있고, 상업적으로 운영되는 IPS 사업자들은 경쟁 사업자를 차별하고 이와 같은 현상은 관련법에서도 노골적으로 명시되고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 N 스크린 서비스의 이용 행태(교차이용, 개인별 단말기 보유량, N 스크린 이용을 위한 지불금액, N 스크린 이용시간), 콘텐츠 특성(채널의 다양성, VOD의 다양성), 기능적 요인(시스템품질, 인터페이스, 결제시스템), 비용에 대한 이용자의 인식이 이용만족도와 지속이용의사에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. N 스크린 유료 경험이 있는 이용자를 대상으로 (N=498), 웹을 통한 설문조사를 한결과, 이용만족도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 기능적 요인 중 인터페이스로 나타났으며, 결제시스템, VOD의 다양성, 채널의 다양성, 비용 순으로 유의한 변인인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 이용자 차원에서 N 스크린 서비스 만족에 영향을 주는 요인들을 밝혀냄으로써, 스마트 미디어 환경에서 OTT 서비스 활성화를 위한 기초 자료를 제공하는 데 의의가 있다.

Mobile phone users have been using the SMS to send and receive text messages between them. Recently, GSMA(GSM Association) proposed the next generation instant messaging service, RCS-e(Rich Communication Service-enhanced). This was unavoidable because new OTT(Over The Top) services have emerged that threat the SMS after smart phones became popular. However, the RCS-e has limitations that it cannot inter-operate with the SMS which is still widely used. This paper propose a software framework that inter-work SMS with RCS-e. Call flows for canceling wireless contracts and sending SMS messages to RCS-e users were defined. Also, methods for protocol conversion were defined to inter-work two services. The performance evaluation showed that the proposed framework does not increase loads on IMS(IP Multimedia Subsystem) infrastructure.

As society gradually enters a virtual, non-face-to-face society, the use of online content is increasing as well. In particular, as smartphones are thoroughly established in our daily life, the platforms of webtoons, mobile broadcasting, and education are shifting from personal computers to smartphones. Recently, the development of the Over-The-Top media service (OTT service) enabled streaming services of various media contents through the internet and activation of IPTV. Therefore, the rapid increase of popularity of short-form content is a natural phenomenon with smartphone platforms with fast, improvised, and endless communication. Lately, TikTok became the favored platform with prosumers, defined as people who are both producers and consumers. In this study, I studied the experiential response of YouTube and TikTok users as representative examples of a short-form content platform developed after the 2000s, the flourishing years of digital content with a length of 30 seconds.

스마트 기기의 보급률 증가와 더불어 코로나의 영향으로 스마트 기기를 통한 미디어 콘텐츠의 소비가 크게 늘어나고 있다. 이러한 추세와 더불어 OTT 플랫폼을 통한 미디어 콘텐츠의 시청과 콘텐츠의 양이 늘어나고 있어서 해당 플랫폼에서의 콘텐츠 추천이 중요해지고 있다. 콘텐츠 기반 추천 관련 기존 연구들은 콘텐츠의 특징을 가리키는 메타 데이터를 활용하는 경우가 대부분이었고 콘텐츠 자체의 내용적인 메타 데이터를 활용하는 경우는 부족한 상황이다. 이에 따라 본 논문은 콘텐츠의 내용적인 부분을 설명하는 제목과 시놉시스를 포함한 다양한 텍스트 데이터를 바탕으로 유사한 콘텐츠를 추천하고자 하였다. 텍스트 데이터를 학습하기 위한 모델은 한국어 언어모델 중에 성능이 우수한 KLUE-RoBERTa-large를 활용하였다. 학습 데이터는 콘텐츠 제목, 시놉시스, 복합 장르, 감독, 배우, 해시 태그 정보를 포함하는 2만여건의 콘텐츠 메타 데이터를 사용하였으며 정형 데이터로 구분되어 있는 여러 텍스트 피처를 입력하기 위해 해당 피처를 가리키는 스페셜 토큰으로 텍스트 피처들을 이어붙여서 언어모델에 입력하였다. 콘텐츠들 간에 3자 비교를 하는 방식과 테스트셋 레이블링에 다중 검수를 적용하여 모델의 유사도 분류 능력을 점검하는 테스트셋의 상대성과 객관성을 도모하였다. 콘텐츠 메타 텍스트 데이터에 대한 임베딩을 파인튜닝 학습하기 위해 장르 분류와 해시태그 분류 예측 태스크로 실험하였다. 결과적으로 해시태그 분류 모델이 유사도 테스트셋 기준으로 90%이상의 정확도를 보였고 기본 언어모델 대비 9% 이상 향상되었다. 해시태그 분류 학습을 통해 언어모델의 유사 콘텐츠 분류 능력이 향상됨을 알 수 있었고 콘텐츠 기반 필터링을 위한 언어모델의 활용 가치를 보여주었다.

In the field of animation, as technology advances, production technology, production methods, and production culture are also steadily developing. The demand for content is increasing rapidly around the OTT platform, and the demand for animation content and diversity is increasing. With these market changes, animation creation ability is becoming a more important animation education goal. There is also a need to innovate educational methods to provide students with the skills and knowledge required in the modern animation business. This paper investigated the composition of the educational curriculum of domestic and foreign animation universities education. It examines artificial intelligence (AI) technology that can be used in animation creation and explores the design and direction of the university animation curriculum using it. AI technology has already proven its potential in various areas, and it is integrated into the animation curriculum to present various development potentials. Using AI technology, students can focus on practical and essential animation education by preventing technical difficulties in animation creation, increase their experience in animation production, and experiment with planning and producing various contents. It is proposed to design an educational curriculum that further strengthens animation creation and production capabilities by forming smart animation classes to foster talents who can lead the future animation industry in a new direction.
