The present invention relates to a system for delivering government information via television. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system for efficiently transmitting various kinds of information of the government, for example, civil complaint information and administrative information through a television.

The Internet is widely used for polls, shopping and banking. In particular, as can be seen from the phrase "the Internet is the sea of information," the Internet is widely used to access and share a variety of information, and is growing as one of the essential tools for modern life. In light of this reality, the government is attempting to deliver various kinds of information through the Internet, that is, to establish an "electronic govermment". As part of this effort, the government has now established www.egov.go.kr to provide a wide range of information, including civil complaints, tax information, traffic information, and cultural information, to Internet users.

1 is a graph analyzing statistics on Internet users. FIG. 1 (A) is a graph analyzing the distribution of Internet users by age, and FIG. 1 (B) is a graph analyzing the distribution of Internet users by education level. Institution: Korea Internet Information Center, Survey Date: January 27, 2003). As can be seen in Figures 1 (A) and 1 (B), the Internet users are only 15% of the population over 40, especially about 46% of high school graduates use the Internet, below Only 5% of the general public with an educational background use the Internet. According to another survey, low-income earners with a monthly income of less than 1.5 million won and high earners with more than 2.5 million won were 16% and 30% in 1999, respectively, but in 2002 they were about 30% and 70%, respectively. In other words, the lower the income, the lower the internet usage rate, and the higher the income, the faster the Internet adaptation. Therefore, the reality is that the range of Internet users is biased by class, age and region. In particular, the fact that the number of Internet users decreases as the socially and economically marginalized class can cause social discomfort due to the information bias, and the exclusion of participation in important political and social issues causes the sense of alienation and deprivation of the excluded group. can do. In particular, the Internet has been acting as a factor that has fallen into mobcracy due to the media limitation of "exclusive opinion formation," which refers to the formation of aggressive attitudes toward itself and other opinions.

In particular, the equal distribution of information is a very important task given that the information provided by the government has a direct impact on the economic and social activities of the people. Negatively, the government has an obligation to give priority to socially marginalized classes and to distribute information evenly. In addition to the passive aspects described above, positively and smoothly and equally, the delivery of information plays an important role in achieving national integration, and in order to achieve national integration, the government is committed to the smooth and equal delivery of information. Must race. However, as mentioned above, the delivery of information over the Internet alone is insufficient to achieve the above objectives.

Television is the most familiar and widespread mass media, and the situation is shifting from analog broadcasting to digital broadcasting capable of bidirectional communication, which is merely a tool for receiving broadcasts from broadcasting stations. In addition, while the Internet through a computer plays a role as a multimedia terminal as an advanced form of a newspaper that intends to deliver a lot of information in small letters at once, TV has an advantage of being a medium for delivering very high-level information called moving pictures. And, since the operation is made easily through a remote control, it is a convenient and convenient information transmission medium compared to the Internet system without distinguishing the difference between the age, sex, and knowledge. Therefore, the construction of an e-government through the television (hereinafter referred to as the television government) is judged to be the most fundamental solution that can solve not only the information gap but also the generation and class gaps.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a government information system via television.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a government information transmission system through television while effectively using the existing infrastructure.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide an XML-based e-government server, a wrapper for converting an XML document from the e-government server into a data broadcasting document, an application server for data broadcasting for managing a document from the wrapper, and an application server. The present invention provides a system for efficiently transmitting information of a government through a television station including a broadcasting station transmitting data through a broadcasting network, a set top box receiving a signal transmitted through the broadcasting network, and a television receiver connected to the set top box. .

 2 is a block diagram showing a system for efficiently delivering government information through a television according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the system according to the present invention includes a XML-based e-government server 101, a wrapper 102 for converting an XML document from the e-government server 101 into a data broadcasting document, and the wrapper. Data broadcasting application server 103 for managing documents from 102, broadcasting station 104 for transmitting data supplied from the application server 103 through the broadcasting network 105, and transmitting through the broadcasting network 105 And a television set 107 connected to the set top box 106 for receiving the received signal.

The XML-based e-government server 101 is a server that provides government information to existing Internet users. That is, a preferred example of the XML-based electronic information server 101 is a server that maintains www.egov.go.kr, a server that provides government information to existing Internet users. By using the server that provides the government information to the existing Internet users, it is possible to use the information provided to the existing Internet users without the need to separate and manage the data to transmit the government information through the television. Have In other words, contents for Internet users and television viewers are integrated and the database administrators of the content provider (CP) and the e-government server (101) use the existing system as it is, while simultaneously providing the government information to the Internet users and the television viewers. Will be provided. For example, the content provider only needs to supply XML-based content in a conventional manner, and the administrator of the e-government server 101 only needs to perform a database operation on the XML-based content.

The XML-based e-government server 101 is a G4C (government for citizen) service for citizens, a G4B (government for business) service for businesses, a G4E (government for electric service) service for computerization of public affairs, and not-for-profit organizations. It is desirable to have content that can implement a G4O (government for organinzation) service, a G4LG (government for local government) service for local governments, and a G4G (government for government) service for foreign governments.

When the content of the XML-based e-government server is updated, the updated information is converted into a form suitable for data broadcasting by the wrapper 102. The wrapper 102 converts an existing XML document for the Internet into a form suitable for data broadcasting. For example, when performing data broadcasting using a satellite broadcasting network, the wrapper 102 converts an XML document to conform to the multimedia home platform (MHP) standard. The converted data is integratedly managed in the data broadcasting application server 103.

The data from the application server 103 is supplied to the broadcast station 104. The broadcast station 104 includes a broadcast server 111 and a transmitter 112, and the broadcast server 111 converts the transmitted data into a form suitable for compression, multiplexing, and transmission, and the broadcast signal is transmitted to the transmitter 112. ) And through the broadcasting network 105 to transmit the government information as a broadcast signal. Examples of the broadcast network 105 used to transmit broadcast signals include satellite broadcast networks, terrestrial broadcast networks, and cable broadcast networks.

The set-top box 106 installed in each home typically includes a tuner for tuning a received broadcast signal, a demultiplexer ("DEMUX") for distinguishing and outputting a video signal, an audio signal, and a data broadcast data signal among broadcast signals; It is composed of a decoder for decoding each signal and a microprocessor for controlling them, and after decoding the received broadcast signal (decode) and delivers the broadcast signal to the television receiver (107). Television viewers obtain various kinds of information of the government by watching the received broadcast signal.

3 is a block diagram illustrating an efficient delivery system of government information through a television through two-way broadcasting. As shown in FIG. 3, the system according to the present invention includes an XML-based e-government server 101, a wrapper 102, an application server 103 for data broadcasting, a broadcasting station 104, and a broadcasting network. In addition to the 105, the set-top box 106 and the television receiver 107, it further includes a return path server 108 connected through the Internet network 109. The return path server 108 manages requests that require the television viewer to provide specific information to the XML-based e-government server 101. The request is delivered to the e-government server 101 to deliver the information requested by the television viewer.

4 is a block diagram showing a preferred embodiment of an efficient delivery system of government information through a television using a satellite broadcasting network. As shown in FIG. 4, the system includes an XML-based e-government server 101 which is a server managing www.egov.go.kr.

The XML-based document is converted by a wrapper 102 that conforms to the MHP standard and integratedly managed by the data broadcasting application server 103. The data is then transmitted by the satellite station 104 via the satellite network 105. The satellite broadcasting station 104 includes a satellite broadcasting server 111 and a transmitter 112. The satellite broadcasting server 111 encodes the data and then multiplexes it with other broadcasting signals to generate a transport packet. . The transport packet consists of a header in which control information is recorded, an adaptation field for inserting additional information into a specific individual packet, and a payload indicating the content of the packet. The transport packet has a fixed length (typically 188 bytes), and if the packet capacity does not reach 188 bytes, the node is inserted and transmitted after satisfying the length of 188 bytes. The broadcast signal transmitted through the satellite broadcasting network 105 is received by a parabolic satellite antenna (not shown), decoded by the set-top box 106 installed in each home, and then displayed on the television receiver 107. The television viewer can check various kinds of information of the government from the displayed screen. At this time, the information provided by the government as described above may be provided with a variety of information, such as G4C service, G4B service, G4E service, G4O service, G4LG service, G4G, it is recommended to set the access rights for each service separately need. For example, in the case of G4C service, access rights can be set for all citizens. In the case of G4B service, access rights can be granted only to corporations and individual businesses. In the case of G4E service, access rights can be granted only to public officials. have. Such access authority is preferably managed by the return path server 108 and the application server 103 connected through the Internet 109 network.

On the other hand, since the contents of the e-government do not change frequently, it may be inefficient to transmit the same data every time. Therefore, the basic data is transmitted 1 to 3 times a day, and stored in a storage device (for example, a hard disk) embedded in the set-top box of the subscriber, and if necessary, not directly receiving a broadcast, It is preferable to connect the media stored in the hard disk when the television viewer wants. As mentioned above, the transport packet is composed of a header in which control information is recorded, an adaptation field for inserting additional information into a specific individual packet, and a payload indicating the content of the packet and having a fixed length (usually, 188 bytes) and the node is inserted and transmitted when the packet capacity is less than 188 bytes, it is preferable to add the e-government data to the packet to be inserted. In other words, by adding e-government data instead of inserting a node into a transport packet that is not filled with 188 bytes, the cost of broadcasting can be significantly reduced, and the additional cost burden is reduced to achieve economic efficiency. do. At this time, the control information on whether there is information provided by the e-government is stored in the header of the transport packet, and the e-government data is added to the payload instead of the node. And, the control information, that is, the control information on whether or not the information provided by the electronic government is identified by the demultiplexer of the set-top box 106, the demultiplexer is the set-top box 106 Will be saved on the built-in hard disk.

5 is a preferred embodiment of a service structure provided by an e-government according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the service provided by the e-government is a main menu, which is a menu bar for setting the government news, TV complaint room, open square, community, living information, the world without discrimination, the Internet, and the television government. Etc., and one or more submenus may be set in each main menu. For example, by placing sub-menus such as "Receive Opinion," "Population," and "Deliberation Ballot" in the "Open Plaza" main menu, the government can collect various opinions on TV through various policies. The public can ensure the way of direct participation in government policy. In addition, by providing submenus such as "find separated family" and "find lost", it is possible to efficiently transmit separated family and missing information. The above information is transmitted through a television, so that the information can be delivered more efficiently than the Internet, which has limitations by class, age, and income level.

Figure 6 is a preferred embodiment of the user interface provided to television viewers by the system of the present invention, Figure 6 (A) is the main screen of the user interface, Figure 6 (B) has clicked on the "public square" main menu bar 6 (C) is a screen shown to the viewer when clicking on "Problem of training call" in the sub-menu of "Population Square", and FIG. Policy "This screen is displayed to the user when the main menu bar is selected. That is, the television viewer can easily know various kinds of information provided by the TV screen through the remote controller or the keyboard.

 The above system has the advantage of using a digital broadcasting network (terrestrial wave, cable, satellite) to realize a network society without information gap that provides all citizens with electronic services available on the Internet on a high quality digital broadcasting system. In addition, the problems of the Internet, in particular, the range of Internet users are localized, hierarchical and age-biased, and the socially and economically marginalized groups can reduce the number of Internet users, causing social discomfort and important political and social issues. The exclusion of participation may have the advantage that it can solve the problem of causing a sense of alienation and deprivation of the excluded group. Accordingly, the above-mentioned television government enables all citizens who are marginalized from informatization benefits to enjoy the benefits of informatization, thus enabling smoother communication among the citizens, and increasing social capital among them, which is the national competitiveness. Can be a driving force for In addition, by providing a place where all citizens can participate in various policies of the government, it is possible to obtain public consent for the implementation of policies and to lay the foundation for direct democracy, which is one of the goals of modern society, to be realized. Have In addition, the above-mentioned system uses a server that provides government information to existing Internet users as it is, so that the information provided to the existing Internet users without having to separate and manage data to deliver the government information through the television. Has the advantage of being available. In other words, contents for Internet users and television viewers are integrated, and content providers (CPs) and database administrators of e-government servers provide government information to Internet users and television viewers simultaneously while using the existing system. .
