IPTV(Internet Protocol Television)is the point in commercial and broadcast content from the numerous channels that are growing exponentially, Many people with mobile devices anywhere, anytime you want to use IPTV, demand will increase. Numerous channels for collecting information about EPG (Electronic Program Guide) service, IP (Internet Protoco) communications using a fast search of content for broadcast EPG is time to take advantage of the service. Using the current wired network, the Android-based IPTV services to take advantage of the EPG in the mobile environment to provide an environment being studied, and Country of the European digital broadcast standard DVB-MHP standard is followed by subsequent research and development of the EPG service is required. In this study, using the existing wired network, IPTV EPG service information of the channel in a mobile environment user-friendly as possible by providing channels for EPG service information to users quickly and easily search for content to provide an environment and Android-based mobile IPTV environment to take advantage of the EPG service channels of broadcast channels with in the EPG service for users to gather information retrieval system is proposed.

최근 DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting)서비스 활성화를 위한 맞춤시청형 DMB 방송 서비스를 제공하기 위해 한국정보통신기술협회 (TTA)에서는 DMB ECG (Electronic Content Guide) XML (eXtensible Markup Language) 표준의 재정 및 개정 작업을 완료하였다. 한국전자통신연구원 (ETRI) 에서는 DMB ECG XML 표준 및 DMB ECG 서비스의 유효성 검증을 위해 DMB ECG 메타데이터의 저작 단계에서 단말단의 소비에 이르는 맞춤시청형 DMB 시스템을 개발하였다. DMB ECG 메타데이터는 맞춤시청형 방송 서비스 제공을 위해 서브시스템 사이에 전달되는 핵심 요소로서 이를 저작, 관리 및 전송하기 위한 새로운 시스템이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 DMB ECG XML 표준의 소개와 맞춤시청형 DMB 시스템의 전체 구조 및 메타데이터의 관리를 위한 서브시스템의 세부 구조와 기능에 대해 기술한다.

이동방송 환경에서는 이용자의 시청환경이 제한적이어서 자신이 원하는 방송 콘텐츠를 용이하게 소비할 수 없는 경우가 발생한다. 이를 개선하기 위하여 언제 어디서나 시청이 용이한 개인 맞춤형 방송 서비스가 필요하다. 본 논문은 이동방송 환경에서 개인맞춤형방송 서비스를 제공하기 위하여 국내에서 표준화된 지상파 디지털미디어방송 전자콘텐츠안내(ECG) 표준 및 이를 기반으로 한 개인맞춤형방송 전송시스템 및 수신기의 개발에 대하여 기술한다.

To vitalize the terrestrial DMB market, we introduce a personalized DMB(PDMB) service model based on metadata, especially DMB ECG XML standardized by TTA, under the convergence of broadcasting and telecommunications. Also we introduce the personalized DMB service system developed to validate the conformance of DMB ECG XML standard and the usefulness of DMB ECG service. The personalized DMB service system is described in details from the authoring stage to the consumption stage of the contents. The results of experimental tests for the personalized DMB service system are also introduced in this paper. We finally address the possibility of making successful personalized DMB services in mobile multimedia broadcasting market.

In this paper, we present an example-based natural language dialogue system for Electronic Program Guide Information Access. We introduce an effective and practical dialogue management technique incorporating dialogue examples and situation-based rules. In order to generate cooperative responses to smoothly lead the dialogue with users, our natural language dialogue system consists of natural language understanding, dialogue manager, system utterance generator. and EPG database manager. Each module is designed and implemented to make an effective and practical natural language dialogue system. In particular, in order to reflect the up-to-date EPG information which is updated frequently and periodically, we applied a web-mining technology to the EPG database manager, which builds the content database based on automatically extracted information from popular EPG websites. The automatically generated content database is used by other modules in the system for building their own resources. Evaluations show that our system performs EPG access task in high performance and can be managed with low cost.

Compared with analog broadcasting, digital broadcasting supports technical background to provide personalize the TV watching environment by offering broadcasting services that can adapt to viewers' preferences. However, current digital broadcasting shows limited services such as reservation recording, simple program guiding with an electronic program guide (EPG) on a personal video recorder system, and primitive data broadcasting by broadcasters. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to suggest a new broadcasting environment which gives a person facility and a difference fur watching TV by serving enhanced personalized services. For that reason, we propose an intelligent broadcasting system which can minimize viewer's actions, and enhanced broadcasting services which are based on understanding of the semantics of broadcasting contents. To implement the system, agent technology as well as the MPEG-7 and TV-Anytime Forum (TVAF) are employed. For content-level services, real-time content filtering and personalized video skimming are designed and implemented. To verify the usefulness of the proposed system, we demonstrate it with a test-bed on which content-level personalized services are implemented.

Design and Implementation of Clipcast Service via Terrestrial DMB This paper outlines the system design and the implementation process of clipcast service that can send clips of video, mp3, text, images, etc. to terrestrial DMB terminals. To provide clipcast service in terrestrial DMB, a separate data channel needs to be allocated and this requires changes in the existing bandwidth allocation. Clipcast contents can be sent after midnight at around 3 to 4 AM, when terrestrial DMB viewship is low. If the video service bit rate is lowered to 352 Kbps and the TPEG service band is fully used, then 320 Kbps bit rate can be allocated to clipcast. To enable clipcast service, the terminals' DMB program must be executed, and this can be done through SMS and EPG. Clipcast service applies MOT protocol to transmit multimedia objects, and transmits twice in carousel format for stable transmission of files. Therefore, 72Mbyte data can be transmitted in one hour, which corresponds to about 20 minutes of full motion video service at 500Kbps data rate. When running the clip transmitted through terrestrial DMB data channel, information regarding the length of each clip is received through communication with the CMS(Content Management Server), then error-free files are displayed. The clips can be provided to the users as preview contents of the complete VOD contents. In order to use the complete content, the user needs to access the URL allocated for that specific content and download the content by completing a billing process. This paper suggests the design and implementation of terrestrial DMB system to provide clipcast service, which enables file download services as provided in MediaFLO, DVB-H, and the other mobile broadcasting systems. Unlike the other mobile broadcasting systems, the proposed system applies more reliable SMS method to activate the DMB terminals for highly stable clipcast service. This allows hybrid, i.e, both SMS and EPG activations of terminals for clipcast services.

While the broadband network and multimedia technologies have been developing, the commercial market of digital contents has also been widely spreading with recently starting IPTV. Generally, PC player can display digital contents obtained through middleware like a settop box and can only bring the informations about contents like CODEC, bitrate etc. useful for only experts. But general users want to know more optional informations like content's subject, description etc. So unlike previous PC player, we proposed a player system that can get inserted informations, namely EPG(Electronic Program Guide), without database after bringing contents to PC through settop box. In addition, we also proposed DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) based blind watermark generating method to insert EPG informations. We can extract watermark without original image and insert robust watermark in proportion to coefficients in frequency domain. And we analyzed and parsed PSI data from MPEG-TS. So we could insert wanted information using watermark from EPG. And we composed UI by extracting EPG information from watermark interted contents. Finally we modularized whole system into the watermark insert/extract application and directshow filter based player. So we tried to design this system so that the general developer can do in a way that is easier and faster.
