The service manager 213 controls the manager associated with the service such as the service delivery manager 203, the service discovery manager 210, the service control manager 209, and the metadata manager 212.

In addition, the service manager 213 creates a channel map and selects a channel using the channel map according to a key input received from the user interface manager 214. The service manager 213 receives channel service information from the SI decoder 204 and sets an audio / video PID (Packet Identifier) of the selected channel in the demultiplexer 205. The PID thus set is used in the demultiplexing process described above. Accordingly, the demultiplexing unit 205 filters the audio data, the video data, and the SI data using the PID.

The service discovery manager 210 provides information necessary for selecting a service provider providing the service. Upon receiving a signal regarding channel selection from the service manager 213, the service discovery manager 210 searches for the service using the information.

The service control manager 209 is responsible for selection and control of services. For example, the service control manager 209 uses IGMP or RTSP when a user selects a live broadcasting service such as an existing broadcasting system, and selects a service such as VOD (Video on Demand) , RTSP is used to select and control services. The RTSP protocol may provide a trick mode for real-time streaming. In addition, the service control manager 209 can initialize and manage a session through the IMS gateway 250 using an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). The protocols are one embodiment, and other protocols may be used, depending on the implementation.

The metadata manager 212 manages the metadata associated with the service and stores the metadata in the SI & metadata database 211.

The SI & meta data database 211 stores the service information decoded by the SI decoder 204, the meta data managed by the meta data manager 212, and the information necessary for selecting a service provider provided by the service discovery manager 210 do. In addition, the SI & meta data database 211 may store set-up data for the system and the like.

The SI & meta data database 211 may be implemented using a non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) or a flash memory.

Meanwhile, the IMS gateway 250 is a gateway that collects functions necessary for accessing the IMS-based IPTV service.

5 is a block diagram illustrating a detailed configuration of the control unit of FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

One example of the control unit includes a demultiplexer 510, an image processor 5520, an on-screen display (OSD) generator 540, a mixer 550, a frame rate converter (FRC) ) 555, and a formatter 560. The control unit may further include a voice processing unit and a data processing unit.

The demultiplexer 510 demultiplexes the input stream. For example, the demultiplexer 510 may demultiplex the received MPEG-2 TS video, audio, and data signals. Here, the stream signal input to the demultiplexer 510 may be a stream signal output from a tuner, a demodulator, or an external device interface.

The video decoder 425 decodes the demultiplexed video signal, and the scaler 435 scales the decoded video signal so that the resolution of the decoded video signal can be output from the display unit.

The video decoder 525 may support various standards. For example, the video decoder 525 performs the function of an MPEG-2 decoder when the video signal is encoded in the MPEG-2 standard, and the video decoder 525 encodes the video signal in the DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) It can perform the function of the H.264 decoder.

On the other hand, the video signal decoded by the video processor 520 is input to the mixer 450.

The OSD generation unit 540 generates OSD data according to a user input or by itself. For example, the OSD generating unit 440 generates data for displaying various data in a graphic or text form on the screen of the display unit 380 based on the control signal of the user input interface unit. The generated OSD data includes various data such as a user interface screen of a digital device, various menu screens, a widget, an icon, and viewing rate information.

The OSD generation unit 540 may generate data for displaying broadcast information based on the caption of the broadcast image or the EPG.

The mixer 550 mixes the OSD data generated by the OSD generator 540 and the image signal processed by the image processor, and provides the mixer 550 to the formatter 560. Since the decoded video signal and the OSD data are mixed, the OSD is overlaid on the broadcast image or the external input image.

A frame rate conversion unit (FRC) 555 converts a frame rate of an input image. For example, the frame rate conversion unit 555 may convert the frame rate of the input 60 Hz image to have a frame rate of 120 Hz or 240 Hz, for example, in accordance with the output frequency of the display unit. As described above, there are various methods for converting the frame rate. For example, when converting the frame rate from 60 Hz to 120 Hz, the frame rate conversion unit 555 may insert the same first frame between the first frame and the second frame, Three frames can be inserted. As another example, when converting the frame rate from 60 Hz to 240 Hz, the frame rate conversion unit 555 may insert and convert three or more identical frames or predicted frames between existing frames. On the other hand, when the frame conversion is not performed, the frame rate conversion unit 555 may be bypassed.

The formatter 560 changes the output of the input frame rate conversion unit 555 to match the output format of the display unit. For example, the formatter 560 may output R, G, and B data signals, which may be output as low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) or mini-LVDS . If the output of the input frame rate converter 555 is a 3D video signal, the formatter 560 may configure and output the 3D format according to the output format of the display unit to support the 3D service through the display unit.

On the other hand, the voice processing unit (not shown) in the control unit can perform the voice processing of the demultiplexed voice signal. Such a voice processing unit (not shown) may support processing various audio formats. For example, even when a voice signal is coded in a format such as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, AAC, HE-AAC, AC-3, or BSAC, a corresponding decoder can be provided.

In addition, the voice processing unit (not shown) in the control unit can process the base, the treble, the volume control, and the like.

A data processing unit (not shown) in the control unit can perform data processing of the demultiplexed data signal. For example, the data processing unit can decode the demultiplexed data signal even when it is coded. Here, the encoded data signal may be EPG information including broadcast information such as a start time and an end time of a broadcast program broadcasted on each channel.

On the other hand, the above-described digital device is an example according to the present invention, and each component can be integrated, added, or omitted according to specifications of a digital device actually implemented. That is, if necessary, two or more components may be combined into one component, or one component may be divided into two or more components.
