Description

Transceiver and control method for 3DTV broadcasting {TRANSMITTER / RECEIVER FOR 3DTV BROADCASTING, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME}

The present invention relates to a 3DTV service, and more particularly, to a transmission and reception apparatus for 3DTV broadcasting and a control method thereof.

In relation to the current state of 3D technology, there is an increasing demand for a video object with a sense of depth, or a service capable of giving a degree of freedom to a viewpoint in order to show a more lively scene.

Meanwhile, in order to transmit 3D content through a broadcasting network, more bandwidth is required than a conventional 2D AV program. As one method for transmitting such a large amount of 3D content, a technique for transmitting 3D data added to an existing two-dimensional AV program in advance has been discussed. For example, the 3D data may be transmitted using an extra bandwidth different from that of the existing transport channel, the receiver may store the transmitted 3D data, and then may provide 3D service in synchronization with the transmission of the real time broadcast stream. .

However, the above-mentioned method currently being discussed has the following problems.

First, in order to link 3D additional content with a real-time AV program, the 3D additional content is transmitted in advance, while the receiver has to store all the entire files.

Furthermore, even if the 3D additional content portion after the point in time is to be downloaded in order to receive the 3D linked service after the start of the real-time program, the additional 3D content is one file, so the entire file must be downloaded.

In view of the above-described problems, the present invention proposes a solution for providing 3D service in conjunction with an existing real-time broadcast stream even in a scenario in which additional content is transmitted in a streaming format as well as a file format. Furthermore, a signaling method for interworking two contents transmitted through different channels and a synchronization method for synchronizing the two contents on a frame basis will be described.

One embodiment of the present invention, by providing additional content that requires a lot of bandwidth for the 3DTV service, by transmitting the data additionally necessary to the existing AV program through a network capable of bidirectional communication rather than a broadcasting network, 3D service will be provided when requested.

In addition, another embodiment of the present invention, to provide additional data for the 3D service in the form of streaming content as well as a file through a bidirectional communication network. For example, it is intended to provide 3D broadcast linked service by receiving only necessary data through random access to additional content. As one way to achieve the above object, an interworking relationship between two video contents is additionally specified in order to link two contents which are transmitted through different channels and whose reception time is not the same.

According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, after starting a real-time program, it detects which part of the whole program corresponds to synchronizing the frames of the two contents, and corresponds to the additional streaming content. We want to provide a linked service that finds the location and synchronizes the two contents.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a digital transmission apparatus for providing a 3D service using a plurality of different networks includes: a first encoder for encoding a reference video into a preset first format; A multiplexer for multiplexing metadata and the encoded reference video, a first transmission module for transmitting the multiplexed data to a digital receiver through a unidirectional first network, and encoding the additional video in a preset second format And a second transmission module for transmitting the encoded additional video to the digital receiver through a second encoder and a bidirectional second network, wherein the metadata is additional video transmitted through the bidirectional second network. Corresponds to the information needed to process.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, a digital transmission apparatus for providing a 3D service using a plurality of different networks includes: a first encoder for encoding a reference video into a preset first format; Media paring information (media paring information) for the synchronization of the reference video and the multiplexer for multiplexing the encoded reference video (the media pairing information, a time code (frame code) to selectively define) And a first transmission module for transmitting the multiplexed data to a digital receiver through a unidirectional first network, a second encoder for encoding the additional video into a second predetermined format, and a bidirectional second And a second transmission module for transmitting the encoded additional view video to the digital receiver through a network.

A digital receiving apparatus for providing a 3D service using a plurality of different networks according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a first receiving a metadata for an additional view and an encoded reference view through a unidirectional first network; A communication interface module (the reference image is encoded in a first format), a demultiplexer for demultiplexing the received metadata and the encoded reference image, a decoder for decoding the encoded reference image, and the metadata A second communication interface module for receiving the additional video using the metadata, the metadata including information necessary for processing the additional video transmitted through the bidirectional second network, and the processed reference video and the additional video. Based on the controller, the controller providing the 3D service.

The digital receiving apparatus for providing 3D service using a plurality of different networks according to another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for synchronizing an additional view video with a reference view video through a unidirectional first network. A first communication interface module for receiving media paring information and an encoded reference video (the media pairing information is included in a packetized elementary stream (PES), and the media pairing information is a time code). Or depacketizing a frame number), a demultiplexer for demultiplexing the media pairing information and the encoded reference video included in the PES, and a PES including the media pairing information. A PES parsing module, a decoder for decoding the encoded reference video, and a second bidirectional net And a second communication interface module configured to receive the additional view video, and a controller to provide a 3D service based on the obtained media pairing information, the decoded reference video, and the additional view.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to provide additional content that requires a lot of bandwidth for the 3DTV service by transmitting data additionally required for the existing AV program through a network capable of bidirectional communication, not a broadcasting network, When the user requests, there is an effect that can provide a 3D service.

In addition, according to another embodiment of the present invention, by transmitting the additional content for the 3D service by streaming to eliminate the delay caused by the download time compared to the download method, there is an advantage in the delay sensitive services such as AV services. Furthermore, since it is sufficient to stream and play only the content part after the time when the viewer accesses the 3D service, there is an advantage that it is not necessary to download all unnecessary parts.

Furthermore, according to another embodiment of the present invention, in a hybrid network environment using both a terrestrial broadcasting network and a two-way communication network (ex: internet network), a reference relationship and synchronization information between two contents are added, and stand alone through two contents. By using both networks instead of services, interlocked services can be provided that synchronize frame to frame. Accordingly, in order to configure 3D video, a specific signaling technique and a synchronization technique for providing a 3D service by interworking a base view video of a real-time broadcast and an additional view video stream transmitted in a different channel from the base view are defined.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a method of interlocking contents of a 3DTV service according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 1, the reference video is transmitted to the real-time broadcast program and the additional video is transmitted in a streaming form through a separate broadcast network or communication network due to the limitation of the bandwidth, so in order to link the two contents (base video, additional video) Synchronization is required.

Therefore, in order to synchronize the two contents, synchronization information to be commonly applied to the base video and the additional video should be included. For example, if there is additional content (additional video, additional view) linked to the base content (base view, base view), the synchronization information is generated through the metadata generator 102 from the start point of encoding of the reference content. . In addition, the synchronization information is sufficient to synchronize any two contents. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the basic video (basic content) is encoded by the basic content encoder 101, and the broadcast stream multiplexer 103 multiplexes the encoded elementary stream and metadata stream. .

For example, the synchronization information may be a frame number indicating a specific frame position of the content or may be a time code according to a certain time unit. Furthermore, the synchronization information may be included in, for example, an MPEG-2 video stream, or may be included in a private data section of an MPEG-2 PES header, or may be defined as a separate new stream and have a separate PID. It may be transmitted in the form of a packet.

In addition, the period in which the synchronization information is generated is an integer multiple of the coding unit (access unit, AU) of the reference content (basic content). Furthermore, regardless of whether the synchronization information is transmitted by the three transmission methods exemplified above, the PES packet including the synchronization information indicates an AU PES that encodes a frame to which reference is made. stamp) to have the same PTS value.

Meanwhile, in the transmission process of the additional content illustrated in FIG. 1, synchronization information is generated similarly to the above description. Of course, the content of the synchronization information should be the same as the content when the frame corresponding to the reference content (basic content) is generated. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the additional video (additional content) is encoded in the additional content encoder 104, the synchronization information is generated in the metadata generator 105, and the multiplexing and streaming generator 106. ) Multiplexes the encoded elementary stream and metadata stream.

The synchronization information may not be necessary when the additional content is transmitted and stored in advance in the form of a file than the real-time reference content, but is required when the additional content is transmitted in the streaming form. This is because, when the streaming content is broadcasted or multicasted through a communication network, the reception time of the interlocked content is different from the broadcast stream including the reference content. Because it is necessary. In particular, as shown in FIG. 1, synchronization information is necessary to find the first position of the associated additional content when several programs are continuously streamed instead of one program.

This design has the added advantage of not having to use unicast in terms of services on the network. That is, the initial entry delay can be reduced compared to the unicast method of streaming content so that each terminal (receiver, receiver) has a different starting position, and the overall network traffic is reduced because there is no need to transmit streams point-to-point. have.

In addition, when multiplexing the elementary stream and the metadata stream of the additional content uses the MPEG-2 TS, reference is made to the PTS in the same manner as the multiplexing of the reference content. Of course, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above contents.

The multiplexing illustrated above may vary depending on the streaming protocol used.

For example, when using the RTP protocol, the time stamp used to synchronize audio-video in that protocol can be used to synchronize metadata and additional content. However, multiplexing may provide synchronization of metadata and additional content in a streaming service, and after multiplexing, the metadata stream may be transmitted as a separate URL from the additional content stream.

2 is a block diagram of a transmitting device for a 3DTV hybrid linked service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the broadcast content is composed of basic content delivered through a broadcasting network and additional content delivered through a different network from a channel through which the basic content is transmitted.

The basic content is generated in the content server 201 and encoded in the basic content encoder 202. The signaling information and metadata generated by the signaling information and metadata generator 203 are transmitted to the broadcast stream multiplexer 204. In addition, the broadcast stream multiplexer 204 multiplexes at least one or more of encoded basic content, signaling information, or metadata. The multiplexed data is broadcasted to the broadcast network 206 through the transmitter 205.

At this time, reference information (ex: streaming content access URI, etc.) related to additional content linked to metadata of a program including basic content and synchronization information for linking the two contents are also broadcasted to the receiver.

The additional content generated by the content server 201 is encoded by the additional content encoder 207, and the metadata generator 208 generates metadata. The multiplexing and streaming generator 209 multiplexes the encoded additional content and metadata, and converts the encoded additional content and metadata into information for streaming. The protocol processor 210 packetizes the converted information in accordance with a preset protocol and transmits the packetized information to the bidirectional communication network 211.

The metadata includes, for example, information for a coordinated service (access information on basic content in additional content, synchronization information identical to the basic content, and the like). In addition, the additional content may be delivered to the digital receiver in a push or pull manner according to a service type. For example, additional content synchronized to a real-time broadcasting service may be delivered in a push form to a receiver subscribed to a 3DTV linked service in a multicast form. On the other hand, for example, when a viewer requests as a form of service providing different contents to each receiver, the service may be provided in a pull form in response to the additional content. The push or pull method described above is intended to help the understanding of the present invention, and does not limit the scope of the right.

Meanwhile, the base content (reference content, base video, base view, base stream) used in the present specification may correspond to content transmitted through a broadcasting network and reproduced by a legacy broadcast receiver.

Furthermore, additional content (additional video, additional view, additional stream) may correspond to content transmitted in conjunction with the basic content and transmitted through another channel or network. Of course, the meaning should be construed to the extent understood by those skilled in the art throughout the specification and claims.

The basic content includes, for example, multimedia data such as still images, moving images, and CG, texts, and the like, and each data is prepared in the content server 201 and delivered to the basic content encoder 202 in accordance with a delivery schedule. Each data is encoded in a predetermined manner and output in the form of an elementary stream. Such elementary streams form one program and a plurality of programs are formed and transmitted as one transport stream through a multiplexer.

In order to find streams related to a program desired by a viewer in the transport stream, data including type and configuration information of each program provided by each service should be transmitted. Such data is transmitted to the receiver in the form of a table separate from the above-described transport stream. In the present invention, such data is generated by the signaling information and metadata generating unit 203, and includes a meta data about a program including access information about additional content for 3DTV service and interworking reproduction information (synchronization information, etc.) with the additional content. Information is newly defined and included.

First, the access information for the additional content means a URL (Uniform Resource Location) or URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) assuming an IP network as starting access information required for the receiver to receive the additional content. The access information may be location information of a direct streaming server and content or location information of a meta file having information for setting parameters for content streaming.

Further, the interworking reproduction information between the basic content and the additional content is information necessary for synchronizing and playing the two contents on a frame-by-frame basis. It is configured in such a way as to specify the location (AU). To implement this, at least one of a frame number or a time code for calculating the frame number may be used. As another embodiment, the coordinated reproduction information may be inserted in the header of the packetized elementary stream when multiplexing the elementary stream other than the signaling information and the metadata generator 203.

The broadcast stream multiplexer 204 multiplexes encoded content data streams and tables containing service related information. In this case, when metadata including synchronization information is input as a separate elementary stream, the same PTS as the PES encoding the AU of the referenced basic content should be added. Finally, the transmission unit 205 transmits through a broadcast channel through channel encoding, modulation, and the like.

Unlike the basic content transmitted through the broadcasting network 206, the additional content is delivered in a file or streaming form. The additional content is also transmitted from the content server 201 to the additional content encoder 207 according to a service schedule, encoded, and output to the multiplexing and streaming generator 209. The output is in the form of a stream such as TS or wrapped in a specific file format. In addition, the encoder 207 may output a plurality of streams according to an encoding rate in order to improve reproduction stability of a receiver connected to the bidirectional communication network 211.

The metadata generator 208 defines the access information and the coordinated reproduction information as new metadata so as to access the broadcast program linked from the additional content as the new metadata. The multiplexing and streaming generation unit 209 receives metadata information for interworking with the encoded additional content and, as described above with reference to FIG. 1, adds a PTS or a timestamp having such a function to synchronize two streams. Multiplex, also convert to information for streaming and generate payload of streaming packets.

The protocol processor 210 is in charge of processing a protocol used for streaming, that is, generates and transmits a packet according to a protocol stack, or receives and interprets a packet.

On the other hand, when the protocol processor 210 receives a streaming request from a client (receiver, receiver), the multiplexing and streaming generator 209 receives stream data and generates and transmits a packet. In addition, when a control signal packet indicating that there is an error about a transmitted packet is detected or automatically detected, the corresponding transmission packet is retransmitted.

Furthermore, the main transmission operation of the streaming server will be described as follows.

First, in response to a streaming request from a client, data generated by the streaming generator 209 is transmitted to set a streaming environment. According to the protocol, the transmission process takes place in the control channel if the logical channel for data and control is set aside.

Second, if the environment parameter and encoding rate are set, the streaming packet is transmitted. At this time, the meta data which is related information is transmitted before the encoding data of the additional content, and then the media data is transmitted. The metadata includes not only information necessary for playing content at the receiver, but also related information for an interlocking service added for the present invention. Also, the encoded data stream is transmitted from the time point at which the content requested from the client is played. If there is a retransmission request for both the metadata and the additional content data, it is retransmitted.

Third, when a client receives a stream with a different encoding rate from the client, it switches to that stream and sends it. Depending on the protocol, it is also possible to divide the data-encoding stream into base and enhanced layers and transmit them to different ports (logical channels), especially to support the bandwidth of various clients in push services.

In the present invention, in order to provide 3DTV service, the linked content information and the synchronization information for accessing the linked content are conceptually required. Therefore, as an embodiment for expressing this, the former is described in the form of a reference information descriptor (see FIG. 3 below), and the latter is described in a synchronization information structure (see FIG. 4 below). However, the presentation form is not necessarily limited to this and can be flexibly changed depending on the application.

First, the linked content information is divided into access information for additional content and access information for basic content according to the displayed content. The former is a Virtual Map Table (VCT), an Event Information Table (EIT) and MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TST) Program Specific Information (PMT) information of the Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP) of a real-time broadcast stream. It can also be located inside the. In addition, when the latter additional content is transmitted to the MPEG-2 TS, it is the same position where the access information of the former additional content can be placed, and the case where the additional content is designed in another location is also within the scope of the present invention.

3 defines the syntax of a linkage information descriptor according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The reference information descriptor includes at least one of the number of contents to be linked included in the descriptor, URL information of the contents to be linked, and the type of contents to be linked. The content may be an elementary stream in the form of a file or streaming.

The descriptor_tag of FIG. 3 identifies that the descriptor is a reference information descriptor of the linked content. descriptor_length represents the length of the corresponding descriptor. linkage_content_number represents the number of content to be linked included in the descriptor. wakeup_time represents the start time of the linked content.

Furthermore, URI information (linkage_content_URI) for accessing content linked through a streaming service is required. Since the URI information has a variable length, the URI information includes the length of the URI information of the content to be linked through linkage_content_URI_length and indicates the URI information of the content to be linked with the corresponding stream with linkage_content_URI. URI information can be in various forms depending on the protocol used. Some examples are: In case of HTTP streaming, it is a server address and content name. In case of multicast, it is a multicast IP address. In case of RTP streaming, it is an IP address and a port number of a streaming server. In addition, if metadata including synchronization information is delivered in a separate stream from the additional content, URI information (linkage_metadata_URL) is additionally required to access the metadata.

The linkage_content_type illustrated in FIG. 3 means a type of additional content to be linked with the basic content. In the present specification, the additional content to be used for the 3DTV service is defined as, for example, an MPEG-2 TS type. Since the additional content is composed of an elementary stream in the TS, the additional content also includes the ts_id and elementary_pid of the TS including the interlocked content to indicate its access. In addition, in consideration of the variety of content formats for streaming additional content in the future, it is configured as a field that can be extended to the type of content. In addition, in the present invention, the embodiment mainly describes the case of stereoscopic video, but may be extended to multiview video or other types of linked services.

Here, the descriptor of FIG. 3 may also be used to refer to the basic content in the MPEG-2 TS including the additional content. In this case, the descriptor is changed to information for accessing the basic content instead of the additional content. .

Although not shown in FIG. 3, it is also within the scope of the present invention to design to further include data indicating codec information of an additional video file or stream. It is a design considering the case in which the base view video and the additional view video are compressed using different encoding methods, and thus have a technical effect of improving the efficiency of data processing and reducing the possibility of error.

4 defines syntax of pairing information according to an embodiment of the present invention. The data structure shown in FIG. 4 may correspond to synchronization information, synchronization information, and the like described in the previous drawings. Of course, the scope of the present invention is not limited to including all the fields defined in FIG. 4, and addition / modification / deletion of some fields is also included in the scope of the present invention as required by those skilled in the art.

The identifier field shown in FIG. 4 means that timing information is included after the synchronization information identifier. In the linkage information descriptor of FIG. 3, the linked content exists as much as the value of linkage_content_number, and in order to distinguish each of the contents, the value of content_index_id is used in the sync information (pairing information) of FIG. 4.

In the for loop below the linkage_content_number field of the descriptor illustrated in FIG. 3, content_index_id is defined as 1, and this value is increased by 1 whenever the for loop is operated again.

Finally, sync_information illustrated in FIG. 4 selectively defines a frame number or time code value as a kind of marker (display) for finding a playback time for linking the basic content with the additional content.

5 is a block diagram of a receiving apparatus for a 3DTV hybrid linked service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, the receiving device receives a portion (first part) for receiving basic content delivered through a broadcasting network and a portion for requesting and receiving additional content delivered through a channel or network different from the broadcasting network (second part). Part) and a part (third part) providing a service by interworking two contents.

First, the part (first part) for receiving basic content will be described.

The reception processor 501 shown in FIG. 5 performs RF signal reception, demodulation, channel decoding, and the like, and simultaneously extracts a service selected by a user from a multiplexed stream. In addition, the basic content received through the reception processor 501 is decoded in a predetermined manner by the basic content decoder 508.

The signaling information and metadata analyzing unit 502 determines whether there is a service linked with the broadcast program, and delivers the described coordinated service and additional content information to the service manager 503. The service manager 503 initiates connection with a transmission device for obtaining additional content so as to configure a broadcast program linked service (3DTV service), and manages a service configured through the content if the content is available. Meanwhile, configuration information of the service may be obtained from metadata or signaling information transmitted to a broadcasting network or a communication network.

The coordinated reproduction information of the additional content may be obtained from the signaling information and metadata analyzing unit 502 or the receiving processing unit 501, and this information is transmitted to the synchronization unit 504.

Next, a part (second part) for requesting and receiving additional content will be described. The protocol processor 505 generates the additional content request in the form of a packet using the additional content access information received from the service manager 503 and transmits the additional content request to the streaming server.

Access to the additional content can be accessed to the streaming server using linkage_content_URI or linkage_content_type and the like can exchange messages for joining the group containing the additional content when the additional content is multicasted from the streaming server.

In addition, the protocol processor 505 may transmit control information requesting retransmission when the received packet has an error. The payload of the packet without an error is delivered to the streaming recovery unit 506. The streaming decompression unit 506 checks and sets parameters for decoding and playing additional content to create a streaming and playback environment. In addition, according to the protocol, the encoding rate may be determined from the metadata for setting the streaming environment sent by the server, or information may be transmitted to the server so that the server determines the encoding rate. Thereafter, the received content data stream is transferred to the additional content decoder 507.

Among the received metadata, the information for the linked service and the access information of the broadcast program are transmitted to the service manager 503, and the coordinated reproduction information is transmitted to the synchronizer 504. In addition, the streaming recovery unit 506 may determine that the reception of the content data stream is delayed or is received at a too low rate due to a change in network traffic, and may request an encoded stream having a different data rate from the streaming server according to the traffic. This can be determined by the input rate and playback rate of the buffer.

Finally, the part (third part) providing a service by interworking the two contents will be described.

For example, in the process of implementing the linked service for 3D broadcasting, the basic content constituting the broadcast program is reproduced in real time in the same manner as the operation in the legacy receiver, and additionally, additional content is played in association.

The synchronizer 504 searches for the corresponding frame in order to synchronize and reproduce the additional content linked to the basic content on a frame-by-frame basis. This is necessary to find that both content_index_id and sync_information information included in the synchronization information (eg, FIG. 3 or FIG. 4) transmitted by multiplexing the two contents are matched.

If the reception times of the two contents are different, buffer the fast side to play the screen in 3D when the sync_information is matched. However, when the streaming method is used as a pull method, the frame position of the additional content synchronized to the basic content may be obtained from the synchronization information (for example, FIG. 3 or FIG. 4), and the server may be requested to stream from this position. In this case, the synchronization unit 504 sends a request control signal to the streaming recovery unit 506.
