Accordingly, the additional information generating unit 72 is input.

In addition, the additional information generation unit 72 converts the weather-related disaster information into at least one of an image, audio, video, and text of a multimedia descriptor, and generates a message segment to generate a message segment. The encoder 71 records and records weather-related disaster information data of the generated message segment as a multimedia descriptor in the road traffic message event container of the TPEG message sequence.

In addition, the modulator 70 modulates the TPEG message including the multimedia descriptor as described above, and outputs the TPEG message together with the DMB broadcast. The DMB terminal receives the same, for example, in the DMB terminal. As described above with reference to FIG. 19, the tuner 80, the demodulator 81, the TPEG decoder 82, the GPS module 83, the navigation engine 84, the input device 85, and the storage 86. , A memory 87, an LCD drive 88, and an LCD panel 89 may be included.

Meanwhile, the GPS module 83 may be replaced with a CDMA module, and the DMB broadcast signal received through the tuner 80 is demodulated by the demodulator 81 and then the TPEG decoder 82. Decoded by the navigation engine 84 interprets the TPEG message decoded by the TPEG decoder 82 to extract components within the segment.

After retrieving road event information from the extracted component, weather related disaster information corresponding to the road event information is extracted, stored in the storage, and displayed on the LCD drive 88.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 23, when the user selects 'view traffic information' from various menu items provided by the DMB terminal to display a traffic map screen, the navigation engine In 84, the RTM event container included in the TPEG message is retrieved.

When the weather related disaster information is found in the RTM event container, for example, as shown in FIG. 23, an icon Icon corresponding to the weather information is displayed on the screen in the form of a mark. When the icon is selected, the weather related disaster information retrieved from the TPEG message is decoded and displayed on the screen.

For example, as shown in FIG. 23, 'Typhoon hit the Busan area to display weather-related disaster information that the flights of the Gimhae Airport and the passenger ships of the Busan Passenger Pier have been completely stopped.' The weather related information may be displayed as an image and text of a still image or as a video in a news form.

Accordingly, a user carrying the DMB terminal can easily check weather-related disaster information through an image and text of a still image or a video in a news form.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. , Alteration, substitution, addition, or the like.
