In this case, LLS data may be generated according to an IP packet type including at least one of a service list table (SLT) and a rating region table (RRT).
In this case, the SLT may transmit signaling information related to bootstrapping for fast channel scan and service acquisition, and may be used for the MPEG-2 system's PAT (Program Association Table) and ATSC-Mobile DTV standards. Can function similar to the FIC (Fast Information Channel). That is, ATSC 3.0 can provide a fast channel scan function by providing a list of all services that the receiver can receive through the SLT delivered as LLS data, and by providing bootstrap information, the receiver provides each service. You can discover SLS data related to.
In this case, the bootstrap information may be different according to a broadcast service transmission protocol for delivering broadcast media content. For example, in the case of a Real-Time Object Delivery over Unidirectional Transport (ROUTE) / Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over Http (DASH) service, a destination IP, a destination port, and a transport session identifier (TSI) for delivering SLS data may be provided. have. In addition, in case of MPEG Media Transport (MMT) / Media Processing Unit (MPU) transmission, a packet_id or the like of a destination IP, a destination port, and an MPEG Media Transport Protocol (MMTP) channel carrying SLS data may be provided.
In addition, the RRT may correspond to a table for delivering signaling data necessary for a local broadcast service.
In this case, the LLS data may correspond to signaling data of an IP (internet protocol) level and may be transmitted to the receiver receiving the hybrid broadcast service before the SLS data. That is, LLS data may be signaling information of an IP level that is received before SLS data from a receiver and obtained before a session for receiving a service is completed. For example, in ATSC 3.0, LLS data may consist of IP packets delivered to IP address 224.0.23.60 and port number 4937.
Such a method of delivering signaling at the IP level may be a method defined to overcome a disadvantage in that service acquisition time may be lengthened in IP-based broadcasting service transmission. In the future, LLS data may be used in other IP-based broadcasting standards other than ATSC 3.0.

In addition, the SLS data may be delivered to the receiver using a communication network as well as a broadcasting network, and a URL for obtaining data related to the SLS data may be delivered to the LLS data to support the communication network.
In this case, the SLS data may include signaling related data suitable for each transmission scheme according to the broadcast transmission scheme.
For example, when the broadcast transmission processing apparatus uses the ROUTE transmission method, SLS data including a user service bundle description (USBD), a service-level transport session instance description (S-TSID), a media presentation description (MPD), and the like may be stored. Can be generated. In this case, the MPD may be obtained from a broadcast service encoding apparatus capable of processing DASH and stored in the
For another example, when the MMTP transmission method is used in the broadcast transmission processing apparatus, the USBD referencing the MMT Package Table (MPT) message, which is MMT self-defined signaling, and package ID and location information of assets to which the service belongs. It is also possible to generate SLS data including an MP table or the like.
The signaling
For example, signaling data may be transmitted to a broadcast transmission processing apparatus for packetizing content encoded in a form suitable for a broadcast service according to a broadcast service transmission method, or a broadcast multiplexing apparatus for multiplexing and transmitting broadcast content according to a broadcast transmission protocol. Can transmit
For another example, signaling data may be transmitted to a communication transmission server that provides content through a communication network according to a request of a receiving device receiving a broadcast service.
At this time, a transmission processing command corresponding to any one of the LLS data and the SLS data may be generated based on the transmission schedule information to transmit at least one signaling data. For example, a module in charge of the transmission of the LLS data and the module responsible for transmitting the LLS data so that the LLS data and the SLS data can be delivered to at least one of the broadcast multiplexing device, the broadcast transmission processing device, and the communication transmission server at an appropriate timing. Can be passed to each module in charge of.
In this case, low level signaling (LLS) data corresponding to the broadcast network may be transmitted among the at least one signaling data to the first component device corresponding to the broadcast network among the plurality of component devices.
For example, when receiving a transmission processing command for LLS data, signaling data constituting LLS data may be obtained from the
In this case, service layer signaling (SLS) data corresponding to a communication network among at least one signaling data may be transmitted to a second component device corresponding to a communication network among the plurality of component devices.
For example, upon receiving a transmission processing command for SLS data, signaling data constituting SLS data may be obtained from the
The
In this case, data corresponding to the LLS data and the SLS data may be separately stored. By separating and storing the data corresponding to the LLS data and the SLS data in this way, it may be easier to provide signaling data when providing the LLS data and the SLS data according to the transmission processing command.
In addition, broadcast information received from the broadcast schedule information generating device may be stored. For example, an environment variable for operating a management system may be stored and managed along with broadcast schedule information and broadcast service information.

Thereafter, the LLS data is transmitted to a component corresponding to the broadcasting network (S640).
For example, upon receiving a transfer processing command for LLS data, signaling data constituting LLS data can be obtained from a signaling database. Thereafter, the LLS data obtained from the signaling database may be transmitted to the broadcast transmission processing apparatus or the broadcast multiplexing apparatus. In addition, the transmission may be interrupted according to the transmission processing instruction.
After that, it is determined whether the communication network is set to be used (S645).
For example, it may be checked whether signaling data is set to be transmitted through the communication network to the broadcast related information received from the broadcast schedule information generating device.
If it is determined in step S645 to use the communication network, SLS data is transmitted to the component corresponding to the communication network (S650).
For example, upon receiving a transmission processing command for SLS data, signaling data constituting SLS data can be obtained from a signaling database. Thereafter, the SLS data obtained from the signaling database may be transmitted to the broadcast transmission processing apparatus, the broadcast multiplexing apparatus, or the communication transmission server. In addition, the transmission may be interrupted according to the transmission processing instruction.
In addition, if it is determined in step S645 that the communication network is not set to use, a component corresponding to the communication network provides a broadcast service without transmitting signaling data.
