Multi-screen service is a service that consumes more than one media in a number of terminals simultaneously or discriminately. This multi-screen service has become useful due to distribute of smart TV and terminals. Also, in case of hybrid broadcasting environment that is convergence of broadcasting and communication environment, it is able to provide various user experience through contents consumed by multiple screens. In hybrid broadcasting environment, scene composition technology can be used as an element technology for multi-screen service. Using scene composition technology, multiple media can be consumed complexly through the specified presentation time and space. Thus, multi-screen service based on the scene composition technology can provide spatial and temporal control and consumption of multiple media by linkage between the terminals. However, existing scene composition technologies are not able to use easily in hybrid broadcasting because of applicable environmental constraints, the difficulty in applying the various terminal and complexity. For this problems, HTML5 can be considered. HTML5 is expected to be applied in various smart terminals commonly, and provides consumption of diverse media. So, in this paper, it proposes the scene composition and multi-screen service technology based on HTML5 that is expected be used in various smart terminals providing hybrid broadcasting environment. For this, it includes the introduction in terms of HTML5 and multi-screen service, the method of providing information related with scene composition and multi-screen service through the extention of elements and attributes in HTML5, media signaling between terminals and the method of synchronization. In addition, the proposed scene composition and multi-screen service technology based on HTML5 was verified through the implementation and experiment.

최근의 멀티미디어 기술은 정보의 디지털화와 온라인화에 따라 가전, 컴퓨터, 통신 및 방송 기술이 융화되어 가는 추세에 있으며, 대화형의 하이브리드 멀티미디어 기술을 그 특징으로 하고있다. 하이브리드 멀티미디어는 컴퓨터 그래픽 및 미디(MIDI) 기술로 인위적으로 생성한 2D/3D그래픽 및 음향을 실제의 자연적인 영상과 소리에 추가하여 합성하므로 생성된다. MPEG-4는 이렇게 인위적으로 합성되거나 자연적인 영상 혹은 음향 정보의 디지털 하이브리드 멀티미디어 부호화를 목적으로 하며, 활성화된 혼합 미디어의 내용기반 처리, 상호, 동작 및 사용자의 쉬운 접근 등을 가능하게 한다. SNHC(Synthetic-Natural Hybrid Coding)는 기존의 수동적인 미디어의 전달뿐 아니라 실시간 처리가 가능한 인터랙티브 응용 분야까지 다루고 있으며, 통합된 시공간 부호화 기법을 사용하여 시각, 청각, 2차원, 3차원 컴퓨터 그래픽스 등 다양한 형태의 표준 AV(Aural/Visual) 객체를 처리한다. 표준화는 주로mesh-segmented 비디오 부호화, 구조물 부호화, 객체간의 동기화, AV 객체 스트림의 멀티플렉싱, 혼합 미디어 형태의 시-공간 통합화 등에서 이루어지게 되는데, 이는 궁극적으로 네트워크로 연결되는 가상 환경(Virtual Environment)에서 다수의 사용자가 서로 상호작용 할 수 있는 틀을 제공하는데 있다. 이러한 틀이 제공되면, 대화형 하이브리드 멀티미디어라는 새로운 형태의 정보를 사용함으로써 기존의 미디어로는 경험하지 못하는 다양한 응용과 서비스를 경험할 수 있을 것이다.

Today, the proliferation of various mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablet PC, brought changes in the existing TV viewing behavior. People use smart devices as secondary device while watching TV. Researches on a wide range of services linked with second-screen devices around the smart TV in the home network have been actively conducted. While there exist several Web-related technologies for connections between devices, specialized techniques for a second screen service are quite insufficient. There are still some problems related to the display of contents from multiple devices and the efficient transfer of these contents. Considering the characteristics of broadcasting systems In this study, we focus on a second screen service that permits a dynamic transfer of contents by connecting a television (TV) with mobile devices. Here, we propose a second screen service model to enable the personalization of TV contents by combining the existing broadcasting and Web-related techniques.

The terrestrial/satellite hybrid network may replace or supply the terrestrial network in some areas or certain application. Futhermore, it can play an important role in the development of B-ISDN due to their features of flexible wide coverage, independent of ground distances and geographical constraints, multiple access and multipoint broadcast. Also, satellite have the capability to supply terrestrial ATM and B-ISDN with flexible links for access networks as well as trunk networks. This paper describes the design and verification of the interworking protocol between terrestrial B-ISDN and satellite network. For the verification, the designed interworking protocol is modeled by Petri-net and analyzed by reachability tree.

본 논문에서는 기존의 브로드캐스트 암호화 방식에 대한 고찰과 현재까지의 기술들의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 새로운 브로드캐스트 채널 상에서 특정 사용자만이 정보를 사용할 수 있도록 하기 위한 프로토콜이다. 이러한 시스템을 평가하는 중요한 비교 변수로는 전송량과 사용자가 보관하고 있어야 하는 해독키의 크기이다. 본 논문에서는 사용자를 일정 그룹으로 나누어서 암호키를 할당함으로써 사용자 개개인에게 암호키를 할당하는 경우 보다 전송량을 줄일 수 있었고, 메시지는 하나의 세션키로 암화화하고 이 세션키를 다시 암호화하여 메시지의 헤더에 첨가하여 전달함으로써 전송량을 확실히 줄일 수 있었다. 사용자를 임의의 그룹으로 구성하여 하나의 그룹에 일정수 이상이 정보를 전달받을 자격이 있다면 그 그룹의 암호키를 선택하여 세션키를 암호화하였다. 이 때 그룹에 있는 권한이 없는 사용자들이 정보를 전달받을 수 있으나, 이들의 크기는 실험 결과 그다지 문제가 되지 않을 정도로 작은 수임을 알 수 있었다.

PON (Passive Optical Network) is an emerging local subscriber access architecture that provides more bandwidth and services to subscriber than DSL (Digital Subscriber Line and HFC (Hybrid-Fiber Coaxial) network. A PON is a point-to-multipoint optical network with no active elements in the signals' path from source to destination. Advantages of using PON for a subscriber access network include large coverage area, reduced fiber deployment, multicast and broadcast capabilities, reduced cost of maintenance (due to devices being passive), and ease of upgrades to higher bit rate or additional wavelengths. PON uses WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technique that transmits the downstream and upstream data at each different wavelength. For transmitting the CATV (Community Antenna television) service through PON network, we give out additional wavelength. This study shows the available TPS (Triple play service) architecture using CATV overlay EPON (Ethernet PON) architecture and analyzes the effects of EPON-based CATV transmission by measuring the power loss fur each wavelength and the power range of the available analog wavelength and RF.

The terrestrial/satellite hybrid network may replace or supply the terrestrial network in some areas or certain applications. For example, it may play a major role in global B-ISDN or in certain areas where the deployment of optical cable is not feasible, especially at the early stage of implementing terrestrial B-ISDN. Furthermore, it can play an important role in the development of B-ISDN due to their features of flexible wide coverage, independent of ground distances and geographical constraints, multiple access and multipoint broadcast. Also, satellite have the capability to supply terrestrial B-ISDN/ATM with flexible links for access networks as well as trunk networks. This paper describes the design and verification of the interworking protocol between terrestrial B-ISDN뭉 satellite network. For the verification, the designed interworking protocol is modeled by Petri-net and the model is analyzed by reachability tree.

모바일 컴퓨팅 환경에서 서버와 클라이언트 간에 데이터 전송은 대역폭의 차이로 인해 비대칭적 통신 구조를 이룬다. 이와 같은 제한된 환경에서 정보 전달은 한번의 전송으로 다수의 클라이언트에게 서비스를 제공하는 브로드캐스트 기법이 효과적이다 하지만 브로드캐스트 방식은 전송되는 데이터의 양이 많을 경우 클라이언트 측에서는 필요한 서비스를 제공받기 위해 높은 접근대기 시간을 갖는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 클라이언트 요청 정보를 프로파일 형태로 서버측에 저장하고 이를 데이터 마이닝 기법을 사용해서 자주 요청되면서 서로 연관성이 높은 데이터 패턴을 추출하여 전송함으로써 접근대기 시간을 줄 일수 있는 기법을 제안한다 또한 추출된 패턴도 정기적으로 브로드캐스트 함으로써 클라이언트 측에서 예견적인 프리패치와 캐쉬 재배치를 통해 배터리 소비량을 줄이는 방법을 제안한다.

Various techniques have been developed for efficient compression of stereoscopic 3D videos. Mixed-resolution based approach is one representative bit-rate saving method based on the characteristics of human visual system that the mixed-resolution stereoscopic videos are perceived close to the higher resolution. However, when the difference between the left and right image resolutions is bigger than a certain threshold level, it causes the perceived quality degradation of the 3D images. Subsequently, several researches tried to find the correlation between the difference in resolution and the level of the perceived quality degradation, but they conducted the experiments just considering the difference in resolution without considering the viewing distances, so thereby different results were retrieved from test to test. In this work, we calculated the optimal viewing distance based on the human visual system, and conducted the subjective tests with the calculated viewing distance. With the results, we demonstrate that the fixed and mobile hybrid 3DTV, which is based on mixed-resolution stereoscopic images, can provide the high quality 3D services.

ATSC-M/H based hybrid 3DTV, which is one of the service compatible 3DTV system, has considerable quality gap between the left and right views. And CRA(Conditional Replenishment Algorithm) has been proposed to deal with the issue of resolution mismatch and improve the visual quality. In CRA, the disparity vectors of stereoscopic images are estimated. The disparity compensated left view and simply enlarged right view are compared and conditionally selected for generating the enhanced right view. In order to implement CRA, a fast algorithm is strongly required because the disparity vectors need to be obtained at every layer and the complexity of CRA is quite high. In this paper, we adopted SDSP(Small Diamond Search Pattern) instead of full search and predicted the initial position of search pattern by examining the spatio-temporal correlation of disparity vectors and also suggested the SKIP mode to limit the number of processing units. The computer simulation showed that the proposed fast algorithm could greatly reduce the processing time while minimizing the quality degradation of reconstructed right view.
