Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for controlling content delivery, and more particularly, to an apparatus for controlling content delivery for providing content provided in a home via a smart TV to at least one user terminal through a place-shift. And to a method.
Currently, there are various connection technologies such as Cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and broadband wireless connection. As the Internet and the network evolve, the connection technologies are expected to be more diverse. Therefore, recently, a single terminal used by a user, such as a PDA or a smart phone, is equipped with multiple network interfaces to support various networks.
As smart TVs become active, video calls can be made through smart TVs, and multi-screen is also possible by connecting smart phones to smart TVs. However, in order to enable such a service, a dedicated smartphone capable of connecting with a smart TV must be used. In addition, there is a channel limitation that the service is available for only one channel, and there is a problem in that it cannot provide mobility because the connection between the smart phone and the smart TV is wired.
The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for controlling content delivery that can provide different content to at least one terminal based on the TV.
In addition, the present invention is to provide a content mobility to the terminal of the user moving based on the TV as its technical problem.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for controlling a transmission of content received from a TV by a content transmission control apparatus is provided. The content transmission control method may include receiving a service request from at least one user terminal, establishing a connection with the at least one user terminal, checking user profile information of each user terminal and service characteristic information requested by each user terminal. And transmitting contents of a corresponding service through at least one connection of each user terminal by using user profile information and service characteristic information of each user terminal.
The transmitting may include selecting at least one connection of each user terminal by using user profile information of each user terminal.
The transmitting may further include determining a coding scheme suitable for the at least one connection, and coding content using the coding scheme.
The transmitting may further include separating and transmitting contents of a corresponding service through at least one connection of each user terminal according to service characteristic information of each user terminal.
The service profile information may include service quality information, and the transmitting may include requesting guarantee of service quality of content corresponding to at least one connection of each user terminal in response to the service quality information. It may include.
The content transmission control method may further include detecting a change in an access network of each user terminal due to the movement of each user terminal, and establishing a connection with the changed access network of each user terminal.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, a method for controlling a transmission of content received from a TV by a content transmission control apparatus is provided. The content transmission control method may include receiving a service request from a user through a first user terminal, through at least one connection of the first user terminal by using user profile information and requested service characteristic information of the first user terminal. Transmitting the content of the requested service, detecting the movement of the user, and using at least one connection of the second user terminal using the user profile information of the second user terminal at the location where the user has moved; Transmitting the content of the requested service.
The transmitting of the content of the requested service through at least one connection of the second user terminal may include transmitting the content of the requested service through at least one connection of the first user terminal.
The transmitting of the content of the requested service through at least one connection of the second user terminal may further include stopping the transmission of the content to the first user terminal.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus for controlling the transmission of content received from a TV is provided. The content transmission control device includes a multi-user control server and a multi-connection control server. The multi-user control server independently controls a channel for each user terminal that requests a service. The multi-connection control server checks the connection information and the connection state of each user terminal requesting the service, selects at least one connection of each user terminal to transmit the content corresponding to the service, and at least one of the user terminals. The content is transmitted over a connection.
The apparatus for controlling content transmission may further include a multi-channel transcoder for coding the content in a coding scheme suitable for at least one connection of each user terminal.
The multiple connection control server may determine a coding scheme suitable for at least one connection of each user terminal.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the content transmission control apparatus converts the content received by the TV in the home to other terminals while maintaining the same service quality to other terminals, thereby providing the content to watch on the TV in the home Remotely, multiple users can watch while ensuring the same quality.
The apparatus for controlling content delivery according to an embodiment of the present invention can provide an advanced service compared to the prior art in which only one channel service was possible in the case of a multi-screen by allowing each user to simultaneously transmit content of different channels.
In addition, the content transmission control device supports seamless transmission of content even when the access network is changed due to the movement of the terminal, and detects the user's movement when the user moves in the house without having the terminal, and thus seamlessly transfers the content through the other terminal. Can be provided to the user.

A service session may be composed of different types of transactions defined by certain characteristics and associated with service semantics. Service semantics define the meaning of any given transaction in the associated application. For example, a transaction may include retrieving an internet site or any page of the internet site, requesting the transmission of a film, or requesting a temporary or permanent stop of a film.
Each transaction coming from an internal or external requesting application is specified by the requesting application through a transport-level connection established between the equipment on which the requesting and requested application is installed, for example, a multi-mode terminal and an application server. A procedure for transmitting to the requested application.
Successive transactions of the same type or different types during the same service session do not necessarily require the use of the same fast bit rate or ultra fast bit rate connections. For example, there is no need to use an ultrafast bit rate connection to transmit a request to temporarily or permanently stop the transmission of video data, but the video data transmission itself may require an ultrafast bit rate connection.
