Background technology
According to the digitizing of broadcasting, apace towards providing MBMS service to change by hyperchannel to different receiving terminals, this receiving terminal can come bidirectional broadcast service by carrying out interlocking with BCN to broadcast environment.Spectators not only want to receive broadcast program passively by limited passage, but also participate in broadcasting service on one's own initiative.Simultaneously, no matter when the televiewer wants, and they want to receive and watch the broadcast program of expectation.
That is to say that broadcast environment is evolved into complicated, diversified and personalized broadcast environment.Customized broadcasting makes the user use the broadcasted content that is provided, no matter when and where oneself want according to the hobby of oneself by using different terminals, and this different terminals is in complexity, diversified and personalized broadcast environment.Customized broadcasting provides customized broadcasted content according to the function of user's hobby, terminal, network characteristic and such as time, the position physical environment the same with user emotion.
The standard of customized broadcasting is divided into stage 1 (TVA-1) and stage 2 (TVA-2) according to the system environments of expecting and the function of tonic chord to be supplied.TVA-1 is used for providing the standard that is used for seeking, select, obtaining and use the application service of audio frequency and video (AV) content based on personal digital recorder (PDR) obtaining the environment of attaching metadata by One-to-All Broadcast channel transfer master's broadcast program and by bilateral network.TVA-2 is the standard that is used to provide content sharing between the different terminals in the family expenses network environment, and providing the orientation service of content according to the environment for use of different environments for use by expansion TVA-1, the environment for use of described TVA-1 is One-to-All Broadcast passage and bilateral network.TVA-2 is the standard that is used to provide TVA-1 audio ﹠ video (AV) type content not only but also other dissimilar content simultaneously.
Orientation is an adaptive content service, be used for adaptively according to user preference not only and also such as terminal the same with network condition environment for use provide content for each user.For example, if two terminals are arranged, promptly terminal that comprises the MP3 decoding device and another have the terminal of wave decoder device, although then assembly is identical, bag metadata supplier provides two types assembly with two kinds of different-formats according to the decoder type of each terminal.Bag is in conjunction with the combination of AV program with the selection of different media component.Bag have with MPEG-21 in the identical notation (notation) of " numeric item ".
In these cases, mp3 file form assembly and ripple file layout assembly are owing to have identical content, so have identical content reference identifier (CRID).Yet these two kinds of assemblies have the different content example, and this content instance has different positions expression formula.Although two assemblies have different position expression formulas, under the situation of not considering the user environment condition, distribute identical CRID for two assemblies with identical content.
Bag when table 1 is presented at only by the CRID recognizer component.
