Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a method of restricting reception of a set-top box using a smart card, and stores a CAS application in a smart card to allow only a user who is allowed to receive a broadcast from a broadcast service provider to change the set-top box. The present invention relates to a method of restricting reception of a set-top box using a smart card that increases user convenience by using a CAS application used by the broadcast service provider.
Recently, with the development of digital technology and increasing consumer demand for multi-channel, multi-media, high-speed, and diversified services, the introduction of digital broadcasting and communication services has been spreading. Among these, the set top box is the most representative example.
A set-top box is an external device that adds a function to use an Internet service from an existing analog device such as a television. The set-top box includes a microprocessor (CPU), a memory, an Internet connection module, a wired / wireless keyboard and a remote controller. . Accordingly, the set-top box provides an internet search function, an e-mail function, and an internet phone function, thereby enabling high quality and high quality broadcasting and interactive service.
The set-top box stores each application for providing such a function in an internal memory, and provides the corresponding function to the user by driving the application corresponding to the corresponding function when the user uses the specific function.
In particular, when a broadcast service provider provides paid content among various functions provided by the set-top box, a user reception restriction function is provided so that only subscribers allowed to receive the broadcast content from the broadcast service provider are provided with the paid content. In addition, it includes a reception limit application (hereinafter referred to as a CAS (Conditional Access System) application) that provides such a function in the internal memory.
However, since CAS applications used by different broadcasters are different, when a user changes a broadcast service provider, a CAS application that performs a reception restriction function must also be changed.
However, since the CAS application corresponding to the broadcasting company is fixed in the set-top box installed in the user's home, when the user changes the broadcasting service provider, the CAS application must be changed to the set-top box equipped with the CAS application corresponding to the broadcasting service provider. A problem occurred.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for limiting reception of a set-top box using a smart card that can easily install or delete a CAS application corresponding to a broadcast service to be watched on a smart card. .
In order to achieve the above object, the method of limiting the reception of a set-top box using a smart card according to the present invention is a method of restricting the reception of a set-top box in which a user receives digital broadcasting in a limited manner, wherein the user uses smart card identification information. A first step of requesting a viewing service to a broadcasting service provider server to be viewed; A second step in which the smart card installs a conditional access system (CAS) application corresponding to the broadcast service provider server using a card manager file or a card manager key; and the broadcast service provider server uses ID information of the installed CAS application. The third step is to authorize use and termination.
Restriction reception method of a set-top box using a smart card according to a feature of the present invention comprises the first-first step of the smart card receiving and installing the card manager file from the smart card owner server; After the card manager file is installed, the broadcast service provider server receives a token corresponding to the card manager file and checks whether the installation file of the CAS application in the smart card exists; If the installation file of the CAS application in the smart card does not exist, the broadcast service provider server may include a second step including a step 1-3 of transmitting and installing the CAS application installation file to the smart card. .
Particularly, in the method of limiting reception of a set-top box using a smart card according to an aspect of the present invention, if there is an installation file of a CAS application in the smart card, the installed file is compared with the file to be transmitted. The method may further include steps 1-2 of deleting the CAS application installed in the card.
Restriction receiving method of a set-top box using a smart card according to a feature of the present invention further comprises the step 2-1 of the set-top box to confirm the card manager key authentication of the smart card; A step 2-2 of the set-top box checking the card manager key authentication and then transmitting a card manager key authentication confirmation message to the broadcast service provider server; Step 2-3 of the set-top box checking whether the installation file of the CAS application in the smart card exists and if the installation file of the CAS application in the smart card does not exist, the set-top box from the broadcast service provider server. Receiving a CAS application installation file may include a second step comprising a step 2-4 of installing the CAS application in the smart card.
Particularly, in the method of limiting reception of a set-top box using a smart card according to an aspect of the present invention, if there is an installation file of a CAS application in the smart card, the installed file is compared with the file to be transmitted. The method may further include a 2-3 process of deleting the CAS application installed in the card.
In particular, in the method of limiting reception of a set-top box using a smart card according to an aspect of the present invention, after the set-top box checks whether the CAS application is installed in the memory of the smart card, the CAS application installation confirmation message is sent to the broadcast service provider server. The method may further include a second to fourth process of transmitting.
Restriction receiving method of a set-top box using a smart card according to a feature of the present invention comprises the steps 3-1 of the broadcast service provider server performs the authentication check for the CAS application installed in the smart card; Step 3-2, wherein the broadcast service provider encrypts the public key using the operational key, and the smart card decrypts the operational key using the encrypted public key to verify the operational key. And a third step of service authentication including a third to third process of transmitting a CAS application activation message for the installed CAS application to the smart card.
In particular, in the method of limiting reception of a set-top box using a smart card according to a feature of the present invention, the broadcast service provider server verifies authentication using at least one of an initial key, a password, and unique data included in a CAS application installed in the smart card. It may include the 3-1 process of performing.
More preferably, the method for limiting reception of a set-top box using a smart card according to an aspect of the present invention further includes steps 3-4 in which the broadcast service provider transmits a CAS application deactivation message for the installed CAS application to the smart card. The third step may include termination of service.
In particular, the method of limiting the reception of a set-top box using a smart card according to a feature of the present invention, after the smart card receives a CAS application deactivation message, among the operation keys, passwords, and unique data included in ID information of the installed CAS application. The method may further include steps 3-4 of deleting at least one.
As described above, even if the user changes the broadcast service provider by replacing or setting up a CAS application in a smart card, the CAS application allowing only the user who has allowed the broadcast service to receive the digital broadcast can be replaced. Since it is possible to receive a desired broadcast service without the need, there is an effect that can improve user convenience and use efficiency of the set-top box.
Examples of a method and a system for restricting reception of a set-top box using a smart card according to the present invention can be variously applied. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
