Description

The enhanced electron service guide container
The present invention be on December 2nd, 2004 attorney docket that submit to, that assigned be the continuation application of common pending application 004770.00311, " Enhanced Electronic Service Guide Container (enhanced electron service service guide container) " by name, be incorporated into this for your guidance at the full content of first to file.
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to communication network.More particularly, the signal that the present invention relates to the data aggregate in the broadcast system transmits.
Background technology
Usually, electronic service guide (Electronic Service Guide ESG) makes terminal can pass on the terminal use and how to visit described service with which service.The ESG fragment be ESG independently have a part.Typically, the EGS fragment comprises XML document, but they have comprised large quantities of projects, for example SDP (Session Description Protocol) description, text or image recently.The ESG fragment is described current (or following) available service or one or several aspect of broadcast program.Described aspect for example can comprise: free textual description, schedule, geographical availability, price, purchasing method, type, and supplemental information---for example preview picture or montage.The data that include audio frequency, video and other type of ESG fragment can send by various types of network based multiple different agreements.For example, agreement (for example Internet protocol (IP) and User Datagram Protoco (UDP) (UDP)) that can the internet usage protocol suite sends data by the collection of network that is commonly called " the Internet ".Usually send data by the Internet that is addressed to unique user.Yet data can be addressed to one group of user, are commonly referred to multicast.Be addressed in data under all users' the situation, this is called as broadcasting.
A kind of mode of broadcast data is to use IP data broadcasting (IPDC) network.IPDC is the combination of digital broadcasting and Internet protocol.By so IP-based radio network, one or more providers can provide dissimilar IP services, are included in report from a liner periodical, radio broadcasting, TV.These IP services are organized as one or more Media Streams with the form of the data of audio frequency, video and/or other type.In order to determine when these streams where occur, the user is with reference to electronic service guide (ESG).An example that is used for digital video broadcasting (DVB) stream is electronic program guides (EPG).One type DVB is hand-held digital video broadcast (DVB-H), and this is a kind of technology of recent exploitation, and it has increased available ability and service on small hand held devices (for example mobile phone).DVB-H is designed to the data passes of 10Mbps is arrived with battery powered terminal equipment.
Dvb transport stream transmits network via the third party audio frequency, video and the data passes of compressing is arrived the user.Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) is to be the technology of transport stream (TS) with video, audio frequency and the data of the coding in the single program and other program multiplexing.TS is packetized data flow, has the grouping of the regular length that comprises head.Carry each element of program, i.e. each in the Voice ﹠ Video with grouping with unique group character (PID).In order to make receiver device can locate the different elements of the specific program among the TS, provide the Program Specific Information (PSI) that embeds described TS.In addition,, promptly be attached to one group of table of the privately owned part sentence structure of MPEG, merge to described TS additional information on services (SI).Make like this receiver device correctly pack processing be contained in data among the described TS.
Yet the present invention also can be used for other conventional digital mobile broadcast systems, for example T-DAB, T/S-DMB, ISDB-T, ATSC, MediaFlow, and non-traditional systems, for example 3GPPMBMS (multimedia broadcast/multi broadcast service) and 3GPP2BCMCS (broadcast).
Because image and other mass files account for main flow in ESG transmits, therefore need pass required network effectively and transmit the ESG fragment to terminal receiver.Yet, Previous System sent head before described ESG, efficient is very low like this, this is because if the container of carrying EGS was sent out before head, information can't be accessed till described head arrives so, and existence is not received the risk of described head thereby caused the described information in the container invalid.Current effort concentrates on a plurality of fragments is associated, yet, owing to lack the unique identification of described fragment, effective head or index structure, maybe needing to provide repeated parameter, described effort is mostly unsuccessful.
Summary of the invention
Various aspects of the present invention consider that the formation by container sends the ESG fragment to receiver efficiently.In this sense, container comprises at least one ESG fragment, but can hold a plurality of fragments.Perhaps, fragment can be carried in a plurality of containers.Described container is transmitted to receiver, for example by using asynchronous layer coding (ALC)/hierarchical coding to transmit (LCT) thus make single ALC/LCT transmission object corresponding to single container.The firm entire container that receives, described fragment just can be used by described receiver.Various aspects of the present invention have been used the simple and extendible head construction that separates with fragment, and are irrelevant with the type and the form of independent fragment.In a further embodiment, compression is used to entire container, comprises fragment and any head.In embodiment further, for example other of 3GPP metadata envelope are sealed and can be carried in the described container, repeat and need not unnecessary parameter, for example version, life span and sign.
In 3GPP (third generation partnership relation project) seals or can comprise specific channel, specific program and/or specific channel-group with other any type of metadata.The metadata of other types can comprise: grouped data, purchase data---as be used to finish as described in the Operator ID data and the technical data of affairs, for example address, agreement, based on grouping/sky, channel/minute, program/minute price data; Channel data---as be used for user's textual description, content supplier's brand message/logo, classification and level data---as type and parents' classification, channel SDP data---as use as described in the description of the required ability of service, for example Voice ﹠ Video form and bitrate information, start and end time, address, synchronized supplementary are supplied with address, attribute expansion; And program data, as quoting of user's textual description, start and end time, the interactive service relevant with program.Described metadata can be written into by operator or be finished automatically.

Fig. 4 shows and sends the method that a plurality of single objects transmit, and wherein said transmission is according at least one aspect of the present invention.As shown in Figure 4, transmission object of the present invention (TO) can be carried on, for example, and in FLUTE (file transfers of one-way transmission) session or the pure ALC session.In the example of Fig. 4, ESG root channel data, for example IP address, portal number and transmission Session ID (TSI) are stated in described IP/MAC notification table (INT table).The FLUTE session of ESG root channel comprises File Delivery Table and one or more transmission object (TO) of described session.Described transmission object is included in the mapping between the access parameter of dissimilar ESG and the different ESG sessions that wherein send the ESG data.ESG can be different, for example, adopts different language and/or have different coding and type.Described access parameter comprises IP address, portal number, TSI, start and end time, or the like.Described FLUTE session therefore statement how with the ESG data allocations to different sessions.The TO of the FLUTE session of carrying mapping (enum) data describes in the FDT of this FLUTE session.The ESG mapping (enum) data can transmit in one or more TO.Described mapping can be used XML diagram, simple ASCII text, structuring ASCII text---for example many parts MIME or MIME head, as the binary system of cited type or by other different modes known in the art, realize.In the present embodiment, transmit among one or more TO of ESG data in the ESG session, wherein said ESG session can be pure ALC session.Described ESG data can transmit in one or more ESG sessions.In certain embodiments of the invention, ESG data or its part can transmit in one or more FLUTE sessions except the ACL session or alternative ALC session.
Fig. 5 shows the block diagram according to the example frame of electronic service guide (ESG) fragment descriptor entries of at least one aspect of the present invention.Frame 500 shows the form of the protocol frame that is used for head 310.Frame 502A-D with descriptor entry is an illustrative examples, and it comprises the type of indicating clauses and subclauses 330 and the type field 505 of characteristic.Described type field can be expanded to allow to be used to increase new types of entries.By in territory 505, importing entry type, can offer the different information of receiver.We for frame example 502A-D pre-defined the certain metadata that is associated with fragment.For example in 502B, offset domain, beginning territory, end territory and basic URI territory are the metadata that is used for the associated clip of described payload.On the contrary, there is not to be any metadata of fragment association of its expression among the frame example 502C.
As mentioned above, payload can comprise to be sealed, perhaps type is the clauses and subclauses of predefine parameter that the ESG fragment that is arranged in described payload is provided, and wherein said sealing is associated self metadata and fragment (both be included in and seal in) or the indication metadata is arranged in head.And shown in frame 502C, single descriptor entry can be configured to describe a plurality of ESG fragments by its type, perhaps even the different editions of same ESG fragment.For example, frame 502A is marked as the Class1 clauses and subclauses, and comprises the information about described ESG fragment, for example position, form, version information, unique identifier.For this point is described, frame 502 can provide the additional information fields about ESG fragment 340, for example form 510, version 520, and unique identifier 530.In the exemplary embodiment, whether format field 510 regulation ESG fragments 500 are text, video and/or picture.Yet, those skilled in the art will recognize any information that format field 510 can stipulate to be included in the medium type in the ESG fragment 340 in fact.
Can comprise version field 520 to allow to upgrade the ESG that had before received.For example, newer ESG version can be detected automatically and be carried out, otherwise the expired ESG fragment of version field 520 defineds can not be performed or be performed according to receiver user's indication.But when the local service time spent, this also always of great use.For example, when portable terminal when a geographic area moves to another geographic area, some service may be still available, some may be no longer available, and some may become available.Therefore, some ESG object in new geographic area with the same effective in original geographic area.In an embodiment, terminal can be discerned described ESG object available in new geographic area, and can the no longer valid object of store/buffer.In another embodiment, terminal can receive and the storing ESG object from different frequency, IP platform and Virtual network operator, and afterwards these objects and ESG object from current network is incorporated among the unified ESG.
Alternatively, version field 520 can combine or alternative domain of validity 570 with domain of validity 570.Whether version field 520 can be indicated the ESG fragment that received is latest edition or is arranged to and determines whether to exist compatibility issue, and domain of validity 570 can further be distinguished the ESG fragment of useless or lower priority.As shown in Figure 5, one or more domain of validity 570 can be indicated the effective time period of associated fragment.Perhaps, validity can be based on the appearance of the hardware of receiver, user-defined setting and/or other ESG.For example, the appearance of position that node is loaded or basic URI no matter be in domain of validity 570 or other territories, can allow to verify received ESG fragment.In other embodiments, basic URI can allow receiver combination or alternative ESG fragment to use the information that is positioned at URI.
The sign that unique identifier territory 530 allows the ESG fragment, and no matter the information in the vessel head 310.For example, when a plurality of ESG are received, carry out, perhaps no longer be associated with head, it is overall when discernible perhaps needing, and described information is very useful.Except other employed territories, each in the above-mentioned information field 510,520,530 can comprise region filling 540 does not satisfy the byte rule of described clauses and subclauses with compensation part alternatively.For example, if the position of ESG fragment comprises the basic URI that enough bits are not provided for described clauses and subclauses, then can use ascii character (for example 0) to fill requisite space to satisfy the bit requirement.As disclosed, each ESG fragment can be encoded as the bit rate different with other ESG fragments.In another embodiment, different bit rates can be used to the different parameters among the single ESG, for example in different information fields 510,520,530.
The position of ESG fragment can be by utilizing offset domain 550 separately or unite and use entry length field 560 obtain, and the skew of wherein said fragment can be from the head, the initial point in the payload, and perhaps any other in the transmission object put and measured.Described field offset and length value can be measured with bit, byte or any similar number system.As previously mentioned, use the territory of different system (for example 6 bits, 10 bits, 32 bits) to be coded in the same descriptor entry.Each descriptor entry 500 has the fragment identification field 530 of the described ESG fragment of unique identification.In exemplary descriptor entries 500C, 500D, 500E, basic URI is appended to sheet segment identification in the payload container to create the unique identifier of the overall situation.
Fig. 6 shows the block diagram of the exemplary containers with a plurality of ESG objects of at least one aspect according to the present invention.Transmission object 600 has the vessel head 610 that is positioned at before the container payload 620, has formed single transmission object together.Head 610 comprises the coded portion about head length 630.Head 610 can comprise the signal transfer mechanism alternatively or transmit encoding mechanism, and it is configured to announce described transmission object or its part with signal and is encoded or compresses.In one embodiment, the LCT code-point that is positioned at the original position of head 610 can comprise that the whole transmission of head all has been compressed with signal announcement.In other embodiments, keeping the territory can comprise with the code-point of signal announcement for the coding of transmission object 600.As example, GZIP can be used to above-mentioned purpose; Yet, those skilled in the art will recognize the purpose that multiple other schemes also can be finished compression in this way.In having the embodiment that keeps the territory, for example can comprise alternatively and ESG, head itself, the extraneous information that perhaps extra compression or coded message are correlated with.Container payload 620 comprises at least one ESG fragment 640, and the part in the wherein said fragment or all have metadata (as Fig. 3).In some instances, fragment does not have metadata, on the contrary with head 610 that suitable descriptor entry is associated in can find any necessary metadata.Transmission object can be stored in memory, the intermediate transport node of transmitter, and/or in different receivers.
Fig. 7 shows the block diagram of other example frame of electronic service guide (ESG) fragment descriptor entries of at least one embodiment according to the present invention.Frame 700,710,720,730 and 740 comprises the type of the frame that type field 750 receives with indication.As mentioned above, type field 750 can be extendible, to allow to increase new types of entries.Frame 700 expressions are used for providing the simple ESG descriptor entry of the position of ESG fragment at payload.In shown embodiment, the deviant of ESG fragment is used to locate described fragment.
Frame 710,720 and 730 shows the dissimilar descriptor entry that is not associated with any container payload.And frame 710,720 and 730 can be used to verify the ESG fragment that has received.In other embodiments, for example shown in the frame 740, descriptor entry can comprise the statement of the basic URI that is used for entire container.
On the other hand, the present invention comprises a kind of system and method, effective renewal of the container whether container that is used for determining up-to-date transmission receives before being, and need not to decode or the container handling payload in information.In at least one embodiment, transmitter is arranged to a plurality of fragments of renewal as a unit.Aspect another, the present invention comprises a kind of system and method, only needing to be used for the single instance of Container Type to determine the fragment combination at each other possibility example of same type.
Fig. 8 is arranged to the block diagram of simplifying containment system according to an embodiment of the invention that upgrades the previous fragment that receives.Described system is arranged to whether the container of determining up-to-date transmission is effective renewal, and need not to decode or read information in the described container payload.Upgrade container 800 and comprise vessel head 810 and container payload 820 usually.In the exemplary embodiment, head 810 comprises information relevant with number of fragments in the payload 820 and the deviant that is associated, yet it comprises the information relevant with head 810 and/or payload 820 within the scope of the present invention.Payload comprises the data item 830,840 with fragment update.Although present embodiment has been showed two data item, when transmitting the individual data item, also can consider the excessive data item.Each data item comprises the indication of its type 850.
Described container can further be indicated the appearance of payload header.For example, the Class1 data item can be the binary envelope that has the metadata that is associated with predetermined fragment in head as shown.Type 2 can be indicated the 3GPP textual envelope that is associated with different fragments.Therefore described metadata is not fixed on transport layer.Outside above-mentioned example, can define other Container Types.
Described novel update system is to realize by the configuration of fragment and container instance and management." example of fragment " or " fragment instance " are relevant with the fragment of particular type and version, and wherein " example of container " or " container instance " are relevant with the container that holds specific fragment instance.Fig. 9 shows the container in the update system according to an embodiment of the invention and the block diagram of fragment management.In the exemplary embodiment, File Delivery Table (FDT) 900 and 910 has been stated fragment example in groups.When initially receiving first container instance, the clip types in each Container Type is determined by receiver.All different vessels examples of same kind use identical signature---FDT content-position for example, but be to use different transport object identifier (TOI).In the exemplary embodiment, FIDT 900 has TOI=5 and FDT 910 has TOI=6, therefore represent different container instances, yet described content type and content-position remains unchanged.Two different vessels examples can use different coding, that is, they have the different content type.For example, hold the Segment A of version A1 and version B1 fragment B container and hold the Segment A of version A2 and the container of the fragment B of version B2 has same Container Type.In addition, the container that holds Segment A (with described version independent) will have distinct Container Type with the container that holds Segment A, B and C (any version).Extra optional territory, for example content-coding also can remain in according to the preference of transmitter and not change state.For example, if use text meta-data, then entire container can adopt for example GZip or other technologies known in the art mechanism coding.Perhaps only part is encoded.
Container coding and forward error correction (FEC) can be stated by different mechanisms.For example, the FDT parameter can be stated encoding mechanism.In one embodiment, coding and FEC state by using LCT to expand.Thereby container is encoded and makes receiver can determine that described container is whether decoded and handle and need not visit or read described container.Figure 10 carries out the block diagram that container upgrades according to an embodiment of the invention.In this embodiment, FDT 1010 has TOI=1, and corresponding with the type A container 1020 with example A1, and wherein example A1 can comprise for example fragment 1: example 4 and fragment 2: example 3.FDT 1010 and associated vessel 1020 are received in terminal, and in end processed or refusal.File Delivery Table 1030 provides the renewal to FDT 1010, and is received after FDT 1010 is received.FDT is still corresponding with type A container 1040, yet it comprises example A2 rather than example A1, and can comprise variation, and for example fragment 1: but example 4 does not change fragment 2: example 3 is become example 5.In case be received, terminal just determines that example A2 comprises one or more fragment updates of comparing with example A1.Described terminal can determine further that A2 comprises the fragment of the same type with A1.In one embodiment, described terminal further determines whether realization A2 according to multiple factor.
