Description
METHOD FOR PROVIDING A DATA BROADCASTING SERVICE
TECHNICAL FIELD
[00011 The present disclosure relates to a method of providing a data broadcasting service, more particularly relates to a method, of providing a data broadcasting service with small bandwidth, for reducing a period taken for producing an application for the data broadcasting service.
RELATED ART
100021 With the development of the standardization of the digital broadcasting, a broadcasting signal including a video signal, an audio signal and a data signal is compressed to a digital signal. As a result, multi-channel may be applied in TV
broadcasting. In addition, various programs may be provided in one channel due to increase of transmission rating.
[0003] Furthermore, data broadcasting services are available, in which a broadcasting and data (additional information) directly or indirectly related to the broadcasting are provided, such as remote recording service, weather service, news service, stock service, game service, education service, email service, electric program guide (EPG) service, TV shopping service, banking service, call service and Internet search service. Here, the data broadcasting service may provide a broadcasting AV program linking or independent interactive application as well as information to users, wherein the application processes the user's request.
[0004] In addition, an advertisement service provided in one way in past is provided with the data broadcasting to users at present. As a result, a service of providing detailed information concerning advertising goods to the user, a service of inducing user's participation about the goods, a service of purchasing the goods in real time, etc.
have been provided.
[0005] In the data broadcasting service, a broadcasting system transmits an AV
signal for a broadcasting AV program and an interactive application for the data broadcasting service to the set-top box. The set-top box outputs certain data by executing the interactive application.
[0006] In the conventional technique, a professional editing tool or hand coding has IS been used so as to produce the interactive application. GUI and functions for the application are determined in accordance with a service provider's request.
[0007] Furthermore, a site acceptance test SAT is performed in a broadcasting platform environment in case that the application is produced. In case that the SAT is completed, the application is transmitted to the set-top box.
[0008] In the conventional technique, since screen configuration, a menu and functions for each service should be individually made, the problem exists in that much time is taken for producing the application. In addition, since a test process corresponding to the broadcasting platform is performed for each application, much time and manpower may be consumed.
[0009] Moreover, in case that the provider wants to provide different menu in accordance with month or season in the application for providing the same service, the GUI should be made newly by using the editing tol and the hand coding. Hence, the user's request may not be reflected timely.
[0010] Additionally, the applications for respective services are individually transmitted through different channels, and so bandwidth of the channels may be used wastefully.
[0011] The above information disclosed in this Related Art section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
SUMMARY OF DISCLOSURE
[0012] Accordingly, the present invention is provided to substantially obviate one or more problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.
[0013] An example embodiment of the present invention provides a method, of providing a data broadcasting service, for reducing a period taken for producing an application in each service.
[0014] Another example embodiment of the present invention provides a method, of providing a data broadcasting service, for enhancing utilization of data broadcasting.
[0015] Still another example embodiment of the present invention provides a method, of providing a data broadcasting service, for preventing waste of transmission bandwidth for the data broadcasting service.
