The present invention relates to a method for providing a digital multimedia broadcasting channel list to a DMB receiving apparatus. More specifically, the DMB center provides broadcasting contents to a DMB receiver, in particular, a DMB receiving apparatus equipped with a DARC receiving function. The data is transmitted through the same existing communication media and the broadcast channel list is transmitted through a radio network, preferably a data radio channel, and the DMB receiver receives the broadcast channel list through the DARC and updates it with the latest version of the broadcast channel list. The present invention relates to a digital multimedia broadcasting channel list providing method through a radio channel.

Digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) refers to a broadcast service that provides various multimedia signals such as video, audio, data, etc. to a DMB receiving device digitally. The broadcasting channels provided by DMB include video broadcasting channels such as movies, dramas, sports, entertainment, entertainment and music videos, and audio broadcasting channels such as music, pop songs, jazz and language, and data broadcasting such as weather, traffic, securities, and quizzes. There is a channel.

DMB is divided into satellite DMB and terrestrial DMB according to a communication medium used to provide a broadcast signal to a DMB receiving apparatus. That is, the satellite DMB transmits the broadcast signal provided from the DMB center [broadcasting center, also known as the head-end] to the DMB receiver through a satellite outside the atmosphere, and the terrestrial DMB transmits the broadcast signal provided from the DMB center to the ground. Transmit to DMB receiver through transmission tower. For example, satellite DMB carries signals to video broadcasting channel, audio broadcasting channel and data broadcasting channel allocated to the 2.630 ~ 2.655GHz frequency band, which are UHF, and transmits them to DMB receiver through satellite, and VHF in terrestrial DMB. It will carry signals to video broadcasting channel, audio broadcasting channel and data broadcasting channel allocated to TV channel 12, 204 ~ 210 MHz, and transmit them to DMB receiver through terrestrial transmission tower. Hereinafter, the satellite DMB will be described as an example.

On the other hand, the DMB center transmits video / audio / data through satellite by encoding / scrambled / multiplexed / modulated, etc., and the DMB receiver receives video / audio / data and demodulates / demultiplexes / descrambles / decodes Play it. Here, H.264 / AVC (Advanced Video Coding), which is MPEG-4 Part 10, is used as a video compression method, and MPEG-4 Bit Sliced Arithmetic Coding (BSAC) is used as an audio compression method. The video / audio / data are transmitted and received in the form of MPEG-4 Synchronization Layer (SL) packet and MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS). Convolution interleaving codes, Viterbi codes, Reed-Solomon codes, and the like are used as the transmission channel codes.

In particular, the DMB center transmits information on each broadcast, that is, broadcast channel list, as well as broadcast content such as video / audio / data, to the DMB receiver by encoding, scrambling, multiplexing, and modulating. Accordingly, the DMB receiving apparatus demodulates, demultiplexes, descrambles, and decodes the broadcast channel list received through the satellite to reproduce the corresponding broadcast content. In addition, the DMB center sends the scrambling information to the broadcasting channel list in order to provide the paid broadcasting channel only to the paying subscriber, and accordingly, the DMB receiving apparatus pays for the corresponding CAS (conditional access system) information stored in a smart card. Play by descrambling content.

For example, the DMB receiving apparatus displays a broadcast channel list to the user, and thus the user selects a broadcast channel to watch. Accordingly, the DMB receiving apparatus tunes the broadcast channel selected by the user and demodulates / demultiplexes / descrambles / decodes the corresponding broadcast channel list to play the corresponding broadcast content.

As described above, in order for the user to watch the broadcast content, the broadcast channel list should be stored in the DMB receiver prior to the broadcast content. Accordingly, the DMB center transmits the broadcast channel list to the ground via satellite at regular intervals, and thus the DMB receiver receives and processes the broadcast channel list before the broadcast content is played back.

In particular, due to the characteristics of the broadcast service, information on a specific broadcast channel is updated in real time, and accordingly, the DMB center updates the updated broadcast channel list according to new broadcast channel information, schedule change, broadcast time change, content update, and application for content playback. It transmits through a satellite at regular intervals so that the updated broadcasting channel list can be provided to the DMB receiver.

Therefore, the updated broadcast channel list cannot be stored in the DMB receiver because the broadcast channel list is not received while the DMB receiver is not running. Accordingly, the initialization process is performed when the DMB receiver is driven. After receiving the updated broadcast channel list through satellite, the user plays the corresponding broadcast content.

However, as described above, although the DMB receiver needs to perform a series of processes such as demodulation / demultiplexing / descrambling / decoding of a broadcast signal received through a satellite, a broadcast channel list can be obtained. The initialization setting time of the DMB receiving device is so long that the user has no choice but to provide broadcast contents.

In particular, when the DMB receiver does not operate for a long time and has an old broadcast channel list, there is a problem that the DMB receiver takes a long time to update the updated broadcast channel list received through the satellite to the terminal.

Moreover, in DMB, various broadcasting contents and broadcasting channel lists corresponding to numerous broadcasting channels are transmitted in a limited frequency band at one time. In this case, DMB providers want to provide specialized broadcasting services by loading more broadcasting contents. Due to the band for the broadcast channel list rather than the content, the specialized broadcast service is not available.

On the other hand, the aforementioned DMB receiver may be divided into a vehicle DMB receiver, a dedicated (portable / fixed) DMB receiver, a mobile communication terminal DMB receiver, and the like. Recently, in accordance with the trend of digital convergence, DMB receivers are equipped with various additional communication functions such as DARC receiving function and Bluetooth function, which are multiple input / output antennas, demodulation / demultiplexing / descrambling / decoding modules, and displays. This is because the speaker, etc. can be commonly used for each additional communication function, and in the future, the increase in DMB receivers equipped with various additional communication functions is expected to be steady.

Accordingly, in solving the problems of the conventional method, in consideration of the additional communication function mounted on the DMB receiving device, the broadcast content and the broadcast channel list are efficiently provided to the DMB receiving device equipped with the specific additional communication function. There is an urgent need for a technology capable of efficiently providing broadcast content and a list of broadcast channels to a DMB receiver that does not have a separate additional communication function.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems and to meet the above demands. In the DMB center, broadcast contents such as satellite or terrestrial waves are broadcasted to a DMB receiver, particularly a DMB receiver equipped with a DARC reception function. A data radio channel is transmitted through a communication medium and a broadcast channel list is transmitted through a radio network, preferably a data radio channel, and the DMB receiver receives a broadcast channel list through a DARC and updates it with the latest version of the broadcast channel list. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for providing a list of digital multimedia broadcasting channels through a network.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a digital multimedia broadcasting channel list to a DMB receiving apparatus, wherein the DMB center transmits the broadcasting content and the broadcasting channel list to the outside at regular intervals, and provides the broadcasting channel list. In the server receiving a broadcast channel list from the DMB center in real time, instructing a radio broadcast transmitting station to transmit a broadcast channel list at a predetermined period, and the radio broadcasting transmitting station receives a command from the broadcasting channel list providing server. The broadcast channel list is converted into a signal suitable for the data radio channel DARC and transmitted to the outside at a predetermined cycle.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear. The following terms are defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention, and may be changed according to the intentions or customs of the user, the operator, and the like. Therefore, the definition should be based on the contents throughout this specification.

1 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of a communication network to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 1, a communication network to which the present invention is applied includes a DMB center 10, a broadcast channel list providing server 20, a radio broadcast transmitting station 25, a satellite 30, a gap filler 40, and a DMB reception. Function-equipped mobile communication terminal (also known as mobile phone DMB receiving device, hereinafter referred to as "DMB mobile communication terminal") 50, vehicle DMB receiving device 60 installed in the vehicle and dedicated DMB receiving device installed in the house ( 70). Hereinafter, among the DMB receivers 50, 60, and 70, the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 and the vehicle DMB receiver 60 are equipped with an additional communication function, in particular, a DARC reception function, and the dedicated DMB receiver 70 is DARC. An example in which the reception function is not mounted will be described.

In the present invention, the DMB receivers, in particular, for the broadcast channel list required for the DMB receivers 50 and 60 equipped with the DARC reception function, are not the satellites 30 but the radio network. Also transmits the broadcast channel list through the data radio channel (DARC), hereinafter referred to as "DARC", and broadcast channel through the satellite 30 as before for the DMB receiver 70 that is not equipped with the DARC reception function. Send the list.

To this end, the DMB center 10 transmits the broadcast content and the broadcast channel list at regular intervals through the satellite 30 as well as through the radio broadcast transmitter 25 linked to the broadcast channel list providing server 20. The broadcast channel list is transmitted to the DARC at regular intervals, and thus the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 and the vehicle DMB receiving device 60, especially the DMB driving state, receive the broadcast channel list through the DARC to the latest version of the broadcast channel list. Update

In addition, consideration is given to providing a list of broadcast channels to the DMB receiving apparatuses 50 and 60 equipped with the DARC receiving function as well as the dedicated DMB receiving apparatus 70 not equipped with the DARC receiving function. To this end, the DMB center 10 transmits the broadcast channel list through the satellite 30 as before, and the dedicated DMB receiver 70 receives the broadcast channel list through the satellite 30 in the same manner as before. Receive and update to the latest version of the broadcast channel list.

That is, in the present invention, in consideration of the additional communication function installed in the DMB receiving apparatus [considering whether the DMB receiving apparatus is equipped with the DARC receiving function], the DMB center 10 uses the satellite 30 to display the broadcast content and the broadcast channel list. The broadcast channel list providing server 20 linked to the DMB center 10 transmits only the broadcast channel list to the ground at regular intervals through the radio broadcast transmitting station 25.

For example, due to the characteristics of DMB, a broadcast signal is scattered on the ground in a non-directional manner, and accordingly, a broadcast channel list can be received only by a DMB receiver having a DMB drive. Accordingly, the DMB receiver transmits the broadcast channel list to the radio network instead of the DMB network so that the DMB receiver does not always have the latest version of the broadcast channel list. In other words, since the broadcast channel list has a small data size, the broadcast channel list can be sufficiently provided to the DMB receiving apparatus even through DARC having a low transmission rate.

In the DMB receiver equipped with the DARC reception function as described above, the broadcast channel list can be obtained by DARC even when the DMB is not driven, so that the latest version of the broadcast channel list can be maintained at all times. Even if the list is not obtained, the broadcast content can be played back to the user in a short time.

In the present invention, the broadcast channel list includes version information, broadcast service information (SI; service information, for example, broadcast channel type, broadcast channel attribute, broadcast channel frequency band, application information required for reproduction), broadcast program schedule, and broadcast. The program title, the broadcast program summary information, the broadcast start time, the broadcast end time, etc. may be included, and CAS (conditional access system) information for pay broadcasting may be further included.

Meanwhile, as mentioned above, the DMB receiving apparatus used in the present invention may be any device equipped with a DARC receiving function and a DMB function as well as the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 and the vehicle DMB receiving apparatus 60. For example, a TV set-top box-type DMB receiver equipped with a DARC receiving module and a PC-compatible DMB receiver equipped with a DARC receiving board may also obtain a broadcast channel list through a radio network. Preferably, the DMB receiving apparatus may be equipped with an application that performs a process of storing the broadcasting channel list received by DARC in association with the DMB module and matching the broadcasting contents. Hereinafter, a DMB mobile communication terminal 50 that is generally used as a DMB receiving apparatus equipped with a DARC receiving function will be described.

In addition, in describing the present invention, a satellite DMB currently being serviced in the Republic of Korea will be described as an example. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the technical concept of the present invention is applied to the terrestrial DMB replacing the satellite 30 with a terrestrial transmission tower. It will be easy to understand. Hereinafter, each component shown in FIG. 1 will be described.

The DMB center 10 shoots various video / audio / data, etc. provided from a broadcaster, a communication company, and a content provider to a satellite 30 through a transmitting station (not shown). At this time, the DMB center 10 and the satellite 30, the broadcast signal is launched in the frequency band (12 ~ 13GHz) named Ku band, and the satellite 30 and the DMB receiving device is a frequency band named S band ( 2.630 ~ 2.655GHz) to spread the broadcast signal.

In addition, a gap filler 40 is installed on the ground to relay the broadcast signal to the DMB receiver for the case where the DMB receiver located in the sound region does not properly receive the broadcast signal from the satellite 30. At this time, the broadcast signal is transmitted in the Ku band between the satellite 30 and the gap filler 40, and the broadcast signal is relayed in the S band between the gap filler 40 and the DMB receiver.

The broadcast channel list providing server 20 is built in conjunction with the DMB center 10, and receives the broadcast channel list corresponding to the broadcast contents serviced by the DMB from the DMB center 10 in real time and stores them in a DB. The broadcast channel list is transmitted to the ground through the radio broadcast transmitting station 25 at a predetermined cycle.

In addition, the broadcast channel list providing server 20 transmits the broadcast channel list through the radio broadcast transmitting station 25 at regular intervals. In particular, even in such a transmission period, a long period of transmitting all the details of the broadcast channel list is provided. Set a short period for transmitting only the update history for the broadcast channel list. When the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 is newly provided with the DMB service for the first time or when the user is provided with the DMB service for a long time, the broadcast channel list may be changed in its entirety. However, the transmission period is set long. In addition, when transmitting the entire broadcast channel list or broadcast channel list update history, the current version of the broadcast channel list and the previous version are included together so that the DMB receiver may refer to the information necessary for updating the broadcast channel list. . The broadcast channel list update process in the DMB receiving apparatus will be described later with reference to FIG. 2.

The radio broadcast transmitting station 25 transmits the broadcast channel list in a format suitable for DARC so that the broadcast channel list forwarded from the broadcast channel list providing server 20 can be transmitted through the radio network (hereinafter referred to as "DARC broadcast channel list". And transmit it on the FM frequency band. The radio broadcast transmitting station 25 transmits a variety of information (e.g., news, stocks, weather, traffic) in a free band (unallocated band) among FM frequency bands in accordance with a known DARC transmission protocol together with a known radio music broadcast transmission. Information, etc.), and is transmitted to the outside via an established radio broadcasting network, for example, a radio transmission tower.

The DMB mobile communication terminal 50 is equipped with a radio broadcast reception function, in particular, a DARC reception function. When the DARC reception function and the aforementioned broadcast channel list updating application are always driven (executed) on the terminal and the terminal is powered off, It is desirable to maintain the process at all times.

In detail, in the related art, although the DMB receiving apparatus needs to be driven through an initialization setting, the broadcast channel list could be obtained. However, since DMB needs to process broadcast signals received through satellites, the load and power consumption of each DMB module are severe for this purpose, and a lot of power is consumed in the display and the speaker for playing broadcast contents. For this reason, the user always runs the DMB mode and cannot watch the broadcast for a long time. As a result, users watch DMB broadcasts for a while and want to watch their favorite broadcasts after hours and days. Therefore, the updated broadcast channel list is not saved in the DMB receiver during the time when DMB is not running. will be.

However, due to the radio broadcasting characteristics, only a small portion of the terminal power is consumed in the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 to perform the DARC reception function. Furthermore, when the broadcasting channel list updating application is executed as a background process on the terminal, the application is executed. Terminal load and power consumption due to execution are negligible. Therefore, the DARC receiving function and the broadcast channel list updating application are always driven (executed) separately from the DMB mode driving to obtain the latest version of the broadcast channel list in real time.

Meanwhile, the DARC module mounted on the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 is an FM antenna (DARC antenna), an FM tuner, an FM demodulator, a DARC demodulator (LMSK demodulator), a DARC decoder, and the like. The function of a module having a function in common with the communication module may be adopted. In addition, the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 is disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2005-59717 (name of the invention: "a mobile communication terminal capable of digital multimedia broadcasting") and the like, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing a digital multimedia broadcasting channel list to a DMB receiving apparatus equipped with a DARC receiving function through a data radio channel according to the present invention.

The DMB center 10 and the broadcast channel list providing server 20 share a broadcast channel list corresponding to the broadcast content in real time by interlocking (200). On the other hand, the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 will be described with an example that the DMB non-driven state as an example (201).

First, the DMB center 10 transmits the broadcast content and the broadcast channel list to the ground, for example, to the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 side and the dedicated DMB receiving apparatus 70 through the satellite 30 at step 202. . In this case, the DMB receiving apparatus with DMB driving may receive the broadcast signal, but the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 may not receive the broadcast signal, especially the broadcast channel list because the DMB is not driven.

In the state in which a broadcast signal is transmitted from the DMB center 10 through the satellite 30 as described above, the broadcast channel list providing server 20 transmits a broadcast channel list received in real time from the DMB center 10 to a radio broadcast transmitting station. While forwarding to (25), it is instructed to transmit this broadcast channel list at regular intervals (203). Here, the broadcast channel list includes version information, broadcast service information (SI; service information (e.g., broadcast channel type, broadcast channel property, broadcast channel frequency band, application information required for reproduction, etc.), broadcast program schedule, broadcast program title, broadcast The program summary information, the broadcast start time, the broadcast end time, etc. may be included, and CAS (conditional access system) information for pay broadcasting may be further included.

In particular, the broadcast channel list providing server 20 sets a long broadcast channel list full history transmission period and a short broadcast channel list update history transmission period for the broadcast channel list transmission period to correspond to the radio broadcast transmitter 25. In accordance with the period, the entire broadcast channel list details and broadcast channel list update details are sent. In addition, the broadcast channel list providing server 20 includes the current version and the previous version in the broadcast channel list full history, and includes the current version and the previous version in the broadcast channel list update history to instruct the broadcast channel list transmission.

Accordingly, the radio broadcast transmitting station 25 converts the broadcast channel list into the DARC broadcast channel list (204), and according to the transmission cycle commanded by the broadcast channel list providing server 20, the corresponding DARC broadcast channel list. Is transmitted to the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 via a radio network, preferably DARC (205). At this time, the radio broadcast transmission station 25 inserts the broadcast channel list forwarded from the broadcast channel list providing server 20 into the data area of the frame according to the DARC transmission protocol, converts the broadcast channel list into a DARC broadcast channel list, and then transmits the data through the radio network. To the ground. In addition, the radio broadcast transmitting station 25 encodes the DARC broadcast channel list into an FM signal in an analog frequency band according to a known DARC transmission protocol, and performs FM high-frequency conversion on the encoded analog channel DARC broadcast channel list. Then, FM modulation is performed and a DARC broadcasting channel list is loaded in the spare band (not previously allocated) among the FM frequency bands and transmitted to the outside.

In addition, the FM frequency band (data radio channel) for broadcasting the DARC broadcasting channel list is preferably allocated from the radio wave management station, and the FM allocated to other businesses for other purposes (eg, traffic broadcasting, stock information provision, etc.). It is preferable that the band does not collide with the frequency band. Meanwhile, it is preferable that a periodic redundancy check (CRC) region for a data transmission error check is added to the DARC broadcasting channel list carried on the FM frequency band.

Accordingly, the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 receives a DARC broadcast channel list using a DARC reception function which is performed in a background process, and obtains a broadcast channel list that is an original signal through DARC signal processing (206).

Then, the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 compares the broadcast channel list version received by the DARC reception function with the broadcast channel list version previously stored in the terminal by using the broadcast channel list update application that was performed in the background process. It is determined whether to update the channel list (207). At this time, the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 compares the current version included in the broadcast channel list received through the DARC with the version previously stored in the terminal, and the broadcast channel list when the version previously stored in the terminal is old. It is determined whether or not to store and update the broadcast channel list in the terminal with the corresponding update history included in the terminal, or maintain the existing broadcast channel list stored in the terminal when the version previously stored in the terminal is the latest version.

In particular, when the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 newly receives the DMB service for the first time or when the user does not receive the DMB service for a long time, the broadcast channel list will be stored in the terminal. Only the update history will be partially updated. Meanwhile, before comparing the current version included in the broadcast channel list received through DARC with the version previously stored in the terminal, the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 has never stored the broadcast channel list in the terminal or stored in the terminal. When the broadcast channel list validity period expires and is discarded, the broadcast channel list is updated with the entire details of the broadcast channel list received in a long period through the DARC.

As described above, the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 determines whether to update the broadcast channel list, and stores the broadcast channel list received at regular intervals through the DARC in the terminal and updates the broadcast channel list with the latest version in connection with the DMB function ( 208).

As described above, the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 maintains the latest version of the broadcast channel list received through the DARC, and if the DMB is driven by the user's terminal operation afterwards, the initialization setting is performed as before. The broadcast content is received through the satellite 30 through 209.

Then, the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 immediately displays the broadcast channel list to the user through the screen without performing initialization setting for acquiring the broadcast channel list and updating to the latest version, and thus the corresponding broadcast selected by the user. The broadcast content corresponding to the channel is immediately reproduced (210).

Meanwhile, in the present invention, since the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 can receive the broadcast channel list through the satellite 30 during the DMB driving state, it is preferable to stop the DARC receiving function during the DMB driving state.

As another example, the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 may receive the broadcast channel list through the DARC instead of discarding the broadcast channel list received through the satellite 30 during the DMB driving state. In this case, since the broadcast content is being played to the user through the DMB function, the DMB mobile communication terminal 50 displays a text on the screen to inform the user that the broadcast channel list is being updated through the DARC.

As described above, when the DMB receiver equipped with the DARC function becomes common in the future, the broadcast channel list is transmitted through the DARC instead of the broadcast channel list through the satellite 30, and more DMB frequency free bands are used. The broadcast content can be loaded to efficiently operate the DMB broadcasting frequency.

While the content of the present invention has been described by way of examples, the embodiments of the present invention are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may modify or alter the present invention in various forms within the principles and scope described in the claims herein.

In the present invention as described above, the DMB receiver can acquire the broadcast channel list even when the DMB is not driven, so that the DMB receiver can always hold the latest version of the broadcast channel list, and the DMB receiver performs initialization setting for acquiring the broadcast channel list. There is an effect that it is possible to provide a digital multimedia broadcasting service to a user immediately without delay in playing broadcast contents.

In addition, the present invention can transmit the broadcast channel list to the DARC instead of carrying the broadcast channel list in the limited frequency band in the DMB, and thus the DMB broadcast frequency band can be operated more efficiently, and thus the multiple free bands remain in the spare frequency band. Since more types of contents can be loaded, it is effective to provide specialized digital multimedia broadcasting services.
