FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically illustrating a configuration of an internet media channel broadcasting system using a media internet channel station connected to a media server to which a media domain name based on a media channel internet protocol according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is applied.

Internet media channel broadcasting system according to the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, largely comprises a client node (CN), Media Internet Channel Station (MICS) and a plurality of media channel providers (MCP) .

The client node CN includes all wired and wireless terminals having Internet functions such as computers, PDAs, and mobile terminals.

The media channel provider (MCP) is a media content provider having a web server WS having a typical domain name and a media server MS on which a broadcast channel for providing media content is established.

Here, the media content may be composed of TV, Radio, Movie, Music, Mp3, and Text Message.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram schematically illustrating a configuration of a media internet channel station in an internet media channel broadcasting system using the media internet channel station of FIG. 1.

Media Internet Channel Station (MICS) is, as shown in Figure 2, CN registration management server (CN-RMS), MDN registration management server (MDN-RMS), media channel domain root server (mCh-DRS), media Channel authentication server (mCh-AS) and media channel payment server (mCh-PS).

The CN Registration Management Server (CN-RMS) processes various personal information inputted from a client node (CN) connected to a peer-to-peer network, data about the IP of the client node (CN), and registers and stores information on the IP. A media internet channel protocol is included in a media domain name (MDN) of a media channel provider (MCP) for mutual communication between the client node (CN) and the media channel domain root server (mCh-DRS). A plug-in having a function such as a TV directory service using iLog which is recognized by the web browser of the client node CN is provided.

The MDN Registration Management Server (MDN-RMS) registers, modifies and deletes the IP address and gTLD of a typical domain name (FQDN) and media domain name (MDN) of a media channel provider (MCP), or manages the media domain name ( It executes an application that can register, modify, and manage copyright protection requests and royalty payment requests for media content located in the MDN.

Therefore, the web address of the media domain name (MDN) assigned to the channel of the media server (MSP) of the media channel provider (MCP) by the MDN registration management server (MDN-RMS) is the typical domain according to the classification of the media content. 'Ch: //', 'tv: //', 'radio: //', 'movie: //', 'music: //' which perform functions similar to HTTP or FTP at the beginning of the name (FQDN) Protocol schemes such as' and 'mp3: //'. That is, the channel of the media server (MS) of the media channel provider (MCP) having the typical domain name (FQDN) of 'www.channellog.com' is' ch: //www.channellog.com','tv: // www.channellog.com ',' radio: //www.channellog.com','movie: //www.channellog.com','music: //www.channellog.com 'and' mp3: // www. channellog.com ', etc.

In addition, the media content broadcasted on the channel by the MDN registration management server (MDN-RMS) has a specialized media domain name (MDN) of the channel of the media server (MS) of the media channel provider (MCP). Genre separation can be made easier.

3A and 3B are diagrams illustrating a process of accessing a channel of a media server by a media channel domain root server of the media Internet channel station of FIG. 1, respectively.

Media channel domain root server (mCh-DRS) is, as shown in Figure 3a and 3b, the unique domain name of the media channel provider (MCP) according to the protocol scheme of the web address input from the client node (CN) Link to (FQDN) and Media Domain Name (MDN) or to the corresponding IP address.

In other words, as illustrated in FIG. 3A, the media channel domain root server mCh-DRS converts a typical domain name (FQDN) inputted from the client node CN to a corresponding IP address. A domain name server for connecting the client node CN to the web server WS of the media channel provider MCP to access the channel of the media server MS through the web server WS. DNS role.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the media domain name (MDN) is input from a client node (CN), an IP address for the media domain name (MDN) channel is generated by a media channel domain root server (mCh-DRS). Is returned to the client node (CN), and through the IP address of the media domain name (MDN) channel, the client node (CN) is connected to the media domain name (MDN) channel of the media server (MS) instead of the existing URL. You can directly access the media content.

Therefore, the media channel provider (MCP) can be switched to the corresponding IP address using only the media domain name (MDN) without having to remember the numeric IP address of the media server (MS) of the media channel provider (MCP) belonging to a specific network. Can be accessed without retrieving the media content from the web site of the web server WS.

The media channel authentication server (mCh-AS) prevents the secure distribution and illegal distribution of the media content from the media channel provider (MCP) to the MDN registration management server (MDN-RMS) and protects copyright protection of the media content. In order to request digital rights management (DRM mCh protection) for a media domain name (MDN) channel of a media server (MS) in which the media content is located, the media server (MS) is performed through a channel access control key mode (CHACKS mode) algorithm. Encrypts / decrypts the data for the IP address of the C) and allows access to only the client node CN having the decryption key for the IP address of the encrypted media server MS.

In other words, the encryption key for the IP address data of the media server MS according to the digital rights management (DRM mCh protection) request for the media domain name (MDN) channel from the media channel domain root server (mCh-DRS) ( When the ME-Key is requested, the media channel authentication server (mCh-AS) has a channel access control key (CHACKS) having an encryption key (ME-Key) for encrypting the IP address data of the media server MS. Install it. Then, upon request of a decryption key (MD-Key) for decrypting the encrypted IP address data of the media domain name (MDN) from the media channel domain root server (mCh-DRS), the media channel authentication server (mCh-AS) The DE-Key Plug-In is transmitted to the client node CN together with the IP address for the media server MS to cause the client node CN having the DE-Key to have a decryption key. Allows direct access to the media server MS.

Here, the authentication process of the client node CN with respect to the media domain name (MDN) channel may be performed by the client node (CN) continuously decrypting the same media domain name (MDN) channel after the mutual connection is performed once. It is recommended to register once so that you do not need to receive a DE-Key.

The media channel payment server (mCh-PS) is a fee for the media domain name (MDN) channel of the media server (MS) where the media content is located from the media channel provider (MCP) to the MDN registration management server (MDN-RMS). When requesting payment mCh protection, the data on the IP address of the media server MS is encrypted / decrypted through a pay-CHACKS mode algorithm, which is a payment channel, and the encrypted media server MS is encrypted. Allows access only to client nodes (CNs) with decryption keys for IP addresses.

In other words, when a payment encryption key (PME-Key) of the media content is requested from a media channel domain root server (mCh-DRS) according to a Pay mCh protection request for the media domain name (MDN) channel, The media channel payment server (mCh-PS) installs a payment channel access control key (Pay-CHACKS) having a payment encryption key (PME-Key) for encrypting the IP address data of the media server MS. Then, upon request of the payment decryption key (PMD-Key) for decrypting the encrypted IP address data of the media domain name (MDN) from the media channel domain root server (mCh-DRS), the media channel payment server (mCh-PS) The payment decryption plug-in (PDE-Key Plug-In) is sent to the client node (CN) with the IP address for the media server (MS) to the payment access authentication with the payment decryption key (PDE-Key) Allow the client node CN to directly access the media server MS.

As shown in FIG. 7, a media domain name (MDN) for a channel of a media server (MS) of a media channel provider (MCP) is input to a media channel domain root server (mCh-DRS) from a client node CN. .

Thereafter, the media channel domain root server (mCh-DRS) sends a payment channel access control key (Pay-CHACK) for authentication according to a request for payment mCh protection for the media domain name (MDN) to a client node (CN). ) Is created.

Subsequently, a signal for agreeing to the payment channel access control key Pay-CHACK is transmitted from the client node CN to the media channel domain root server mCh-DRS.

Thereafter, a request for payment decryption key (PMD-Key) for decrypting the encrypted IP address data of the media domain name (MDN) from the media channel domain root server (mCh-DRS) to the media channel payment server (mCh-PS) is performed. do.

Thereafter, the media channel payment server mCh-PS transmits a PDE-Key Plug-In to the client node CN together with the IP address for the media server MS.

Thereafter, the client node CN having the payment decryption key PDE-Key can directly access the media server MS.

Therefore, according to the present invention, a media domain name based on a media channel internet protocol is assigned to a corresponding channel of a media server on which media content is located, and directly accessed through an IP address corresponding to the media domain name instead of a URL for the media server. By enabling the media channel provider to share personal and specialized media content and to facilitate the search and access of the media content by the media channel user.

In the present invention described above, a preferred embodiment has been described, but various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Thus, the scope of the invention should not be defined by the described embodiments, but should be defined by the equivalents of the claims and claims.

As described above, according to the present invention, the media content is directly linked to the media server on which the media content is located by using a media Internet channel station connected to the media server to which the media domain name is based. Rather than using the web server URL of the media channel provider, time delay due to access of the media content can be minimized.

In addition, since the channel of the media server has a specialized media domain name, it is possible to more easily distinguish genres of media contents broadcasted in the channel.

In addition, when protection of the media content transmitted from the media server to the client node is required, the channel content may be protected by providing a channel access key.

In addition, when payment of the fee for the media content transmitted from the media server to the client node is required, a payment channel exeski may be provided to solve the problem of the fee for the media content.
