Description
The present invention relates to a web application driving method, a set top box and a system.
The IPTV service not only provides unidirectional services such as real-time broadcasting or video-on-demand, but also provides an interactive service for providing contents according to a user's request.
Conventionally, an integrated home application (including a home widget, a menu, and a show window UI) including a variety of functions (modules) as a set-top box for a data broadcast system (DBS) Respectively.
Accordingly, even if only a specific function of the home application is changed, the entire integrated home application must be developed, verified, and redistributed.
For example, in order to frequently apply a promotion reflecting seasonal changes, cultural trends, and the like to the show window UI, there is a problem that a lot of manpower and time are required for the existing application development and transmission method.
Also, the conventional data broadcasting system does not support the unicast transmission method, and the conventional set-top box can not also receive through the unicast. In the conventional IPTV service in which the same home application / display combination is provided to all the set-top boxes by the multicast transmission method, there is a limitation in providing a customized / personalized service.
Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2009-0069385 discloses a method for storing user-specific setting information including identification information and setting information for one or more users, guiding one or more user identification information on an initial screen, And a screen is displayed according to the setting information corresponding to the selected user identification information when any one is selected.
One web application is developed and provided as a first sub application transmitted through a multicast method and a second sub application transmitted through a unicast method.
In addition, the first sub application and the second sub application are to be modularized according to the detailed functions. Therefore, it is desirable to enable the customization and personalization of specific modules through unicast without changing the whole of the integrated web application.
Also, a web platform for providing a second sub-application to a set-top box in a unicast manner is provided. And a set-top box for receiving the second sub-application in a unicast manner.
It is to be understood, however, that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described technical problems, and other technical problems may exist.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of operating a web application, the method comprising: receiving a first sub-application included in a web application from a data broadcasting system (DBS) Receiving from the web platform a second sub-application included in the one web application in a unicast manner, storing the first sub-application and the second sub-application, Loading the sub-application and driving the sub-application, checking the version of the stored second sub-application, and loading and driving the second sub-application.
The set-top box for driving the web application according to the second aspect of the present invention includes a first receiver for receiving a first sub-application included in one web application from a data broadcasting system in a multicast manner, A second receiver for receiving a second sub-application included in the web application in a unicast manner, a database for storing the first sub-application and the second sub-application, a first driver for loading and driving the stored first sub- A second driver for loading and driving the second sub-application, and a version check unit for checking the version of the stored second sub-application.
Further, a hybrid transmission system of a web application transmitted to a set-top box according to a third aspect of the present invention includes a data broadcasting system, a web platform, and a set-top box, wherein the data broadcasting system includes the set- Wherein the web platform is configured to transmit the second sub-application included in the one web application to the set-top box in a unicast manner, and the set-top box is configured to transmit the first sub- The first sub-application and the second sub-application may be stored, the loaded first sub-application and the second sub-application may be loaded and driven, and the version of the stored second sub-application may be checked.
The above-described task solution is merely exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. In addition to the exemplary embodiments described above, there may be additional embodiments described in the drawings and the detailed description of the invention.
According to any one of the above-mentioned tasks of the present invention, one web application is developed as a first sub-application transmitted through a multicast scheme and a second sub-application transmitted through a unicast scheme, By applying the mixed casting method, it is possible to secure the flexibility of the receiving method for the web application.
In addition, by modularizing sub-applications included in the web application, efficiency and scalability for development can be increased.
In addition, since the specific module of the sub-application can be changed through the unicast method without retransmission to the entire web application, it is possible to provide the show window UI with a promotion (for example, a social event, a spot event, ) Can be applied in a timely manner, and a customized / personalized service can be provided. In addition, it may be possible to segment and differentiate products based on age and viewing history.
