Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for storing link information of DMB interactive contents and a DMB receiving terminal system using the same, and more particular to an apparatus and method for extracting link information such as a URL of digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) interactive contents received through a DMB network and additionally storing the extracted link information in order to overcome a limitation of a screen size of a DMB receiving terminal system and rapidly/easily access corresponding documents or data using the stored link information, and a DMB receiving terminal system using the same.
  • DMB digital multimedia broadcasting
  • MPEG-4 scene descriptions which configure terrestrial DMB interactive contents, are described as a binary format for scene (BIFS).
  • the BIFS is developed based on a virtual reality modeling language (VRML). Scenes are expressed as a set of various nodes arranged in a tree structure, and the update of the scenes by a user s operation is achieved through a root as like as VRML.
  • the BIFS is distinguished from the VRML in a view that the BIFS includes not only nodes defined at VRML but also nodes supporting video and audio defined in MPEG-4 standard, nodes for expressing 2-dimensional (2D) scenes and nodes for embodying MPEG-4 functions. Furthermore, an anchor node is included as a node describing a dual link.
  • a terrestrial DMB interactive service provides a way of selecting and viewing data or documents related to predetermined contents by selecting link information included in the predetermined contents to a user.
  • an apparatus for storing link information of DMB interactive contents including: a link information processing unit for extracting link information of digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) interactive contents which is being produced in a DMB receiving terminal system; and a storing processing unit for storing the extracted link information in a storing medium.
  • DMB digital multimedia broadcasting
  • a method for storing link information of DMB interactive contents in a digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) receiving terminal system includes the steps of: a) extracting link information of the DMB interactive contents by reproducing the DMB interactive contents; and b) storing the extracted link information in a storing medium.
  • a digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) receiving terminal system including: a DMB contents reproducing unit for receiving DMB interactive contents transmitted through a broadcasting network and reproducing the received DMB interactive contents; and a link information storing unit for extracting link information of DMB interactive contents which are being reproduced in the DMB contents reproducing unit.
  • DMB digital multimedia broadcasting
  • An apparatus and method for storing link information of DMB interactive contents and a DMB receiving terminal system using the same according to the present invention extracts link information of DMB interactive contents which is being reproduced DMB interactive contents received through a DMB network and additionally stores the extracted link information. Accordingly, a usability of link information limited by a screen size of a DMB receiving terminal system is overcome. That is, the link information can be used without disturbing viewing of terrestrial DMB broadcasting program. [14] Furthermore, predetermined documents or data can be rapidly and easily accessed using the stored link information according to the present invention.

  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an apparatus for storing link information of
  • a DMB receiving terminal system 100 for storing link information of DMB interactive contents includes a terrestrial DMB contents reproducing unit 110; a link information storing unit 120 for storing link information of DMB interactive contents; and a memory (storing unit) 130.
  • the terrestrial DMB contents reproducing unit 110 receives DMB interactive contents transmitted through a broadcasting network and reproduces the received DMB interactive contents.
  • the link information storing unit 120 extracts link information of DMB interactive contents while the DMB contents reproducing unit 110 is reproducing the DMB interactive contents, and independently stores the extracted link information.
  • the link information storing unit 120 stores link information included in DMB interactive contents, which are reproduced by the terrestrial DMB contents reproducing unit, in the memory 130. That is, the link information storing unit 120 stores the link information included in corresponding contents by creating additional files or directories while viewing terrestrial DMB broadcasting programs using the terrestrial DMB receiving terminal system 100 in order to use the stored link information without disturbing to view the DMB broadcasting program.
  • the link information storing unit 120 includes a link information processing unit 121 and a memory processing unit 122.
  • the link information processing unit 121 extracts link information of DMB interactive contents while the terrestrial DMB contents reproducing unit 110 reproducing the DMB interactive contents.
  • the link information processing unit 121 includes a user information processing unit 1211, an anchor node processing unit 1212 and a scene information processing unit 1213.
  • the user information processing unit 1211 will be described with reference to Fig. 2
  • the anchor node processing unit 1212 will be described with reference to Fig. 3
  • the scene information processing unit 1213 will be described with reference to Fig. 4 in detail.
  • the link information processing unit 121 may extracts all of link information of the reproducing DMB interactive contents, or may extracts parts of link information selected by a user through a user interface.
  • the memory processing unit 122 stores the extracted link information in the memory 130.
  • the memory processing unit 122 creates files or directories to store the extracted link information.
  • FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a user interface of link information in a user information processing unit shown in Fig. 1.
  • the user information processing unit 1211 receives description information for link information of terrestrial DMB contents through the link information user interface 21.
  • the description information received from the user includes a title/name of link information and a memo related to a link created by a user.
  • the received description information can be extended.
  • the memory processing unit 122 describes corresponding link information according to the inputted description information, and stores the described link information in the memory 130. For example, if a title of predetermined link information is inputted from a user, the input title is stored in the corresponding link information. Accordingly, the stored link information can be conveniently used later.
  • Fig. 3 shows a method of extracting link information in an anchor node processing unit shown in Fig. 1. That is, Fig. 3 shows operations performed by the anchor node processing unit 1212 in the link information processing unit 121.
  • the anchor node processing unit 1212 extracts MPEG-4 scene description information 300 for each of link information in a scene description tree of terrestrial DMB contents which is being reproduced by the terrestrial DMB contents reproducing unit 110. That is, the anchor node processing unit 1212 extracts a uniform resource location (URL) 301, a description 302 and a parameter value 303 among anchor nodes for each of link information in the scene description tree of the DMB interactive contents.
  • URL uniform resource location
