Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a signaling data transmission technique of a hybrid broadcasting service for generating signaling data and transmitting the signaling data to respective components in order to provide a broadcasting service in a hybrid broadcasting environment using a digital broadcasting network and a communication network.
In order to provide a broadcasting service, broadcasting service signaling information for describing information on the broadcasting service in a form interpretable by the receiver and delivering it to the receiver is essential. In order to generate such broadcasting service signaling information, PSI (Program Specific Information) based on MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) is transmitted in a broadcasting environment based on the existing MPEG-2 systems. In addition, Data of a binary form is configured using the Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP) standard of the Advanced Television System Committee (ATSC) and the Service Information (SI) standard of Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB).
The broadcasting service signaling information thus formed is transmitted to the receiver in the form of MPEG-2 TS (Transport Stream) together with the media data constituting the broadcasting service.
However, the next generation broadcasting does not use the MPEG-2 system for broadcasting service. Therefore, the standard such as MPEG-PSI, ATSC-PSIP, and DVB-SI is not used for broadcasting service signaling. In addition, in order to overcome the limitation of MPEG-2 TS which is used for broadcasting service in ATSC and DVB, there is a discussion for transmitting next generation broadcasting service based on IP (Internet Protocol). In particular, in the case of ATSC, which is the first to standardize the broadcasting service transmission protocol and related applications for the next generation broadcasting service, a new signaling scheme for the type IP based broadcasting service is being actively discussed.
In ATSC, the IP-based next generation broadcasting service is named ATSC 3.0 and the broadcasting service signaling for providing ATSC 3.0 based service is defined in two stages, namely LLS (Low Level Signaling) and SLS (Service Layer Signaling).

At this time, the broadcast information may include at least one of broadcast service information corresponding to a plurality of component devices and transmission schedule information for each of a plurality of component devices.
The signaling
In this case, the signaling
At this time, LLS data may be generated according to an IP packet type including at least one of a SLT (Service List Table) and an RRT (Rating Region Table).
In this case, the SLT can transmit signaling information related to fast channel scanning and bootstrapping for service acquisition. In the conventional broadcasting system, the PAT (Program Association Table) of the MPEG-2 system, the ATSC-Mobile DTV standard (FIC) < / RTI > That is, in ATSC 3.0, it is possible to provide a fast channel scanning function by providing a list of all services that can be received by the receiver through the SLT transmitted as LLS data, and by providing bootstrap information, So that the SLS data can be found.
In this case, the bootstrap information may be different according to a broadcasting service transmission protocol for delivering broadcast media contents. For example, in the case of ROUTE (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over Http) / DASH, a destination IP, a destination port, and a TSI (Transport Session Identifier) for delivering SLS data may be provided have. In the case of MMT (MPEG Media Transport) / MPU (Media Processing Unit) transmission, a destination IP, a destination port, and a packet_id of an MMTP (MPEG Media Transport Protocol) channel for delivering SLS data may be provided.
The RRT may also correspond to a table for delivering the signaling data needed for the local broadcast service.
At this time, the LLS data corresponds to the signaling data at the IP (Internet Protocol) level, and may be transmitted to the receiver that receives the hybrid broadcasting service before the SLS data. That is, the LLS data may be signaling information of the IP level that is received before the SLS data in the receiver and obtained before the session for service reception is completed. For example, in ATSC 3.0, LLS data can consist of IP packets that are passed to IP address 224.0.23.60, Port number 4937.
This method of delivering IP level signaling may be a method defined to overcome the disadvantage that the service acquisition time may become longer in the transmission of IP-based broadcasting service. In the future, other IP-based broadcasting standards other than ATSC 3.0, Is likely to be used. In addition, SLT, RRT, and the like are defined as the signaling information currently transmitted in the LLS data of ATSC 3.0, but new signaling tables may be defined in the future according to the necessity of providing the service.
At this time, the SLS data may be generated to include at least one of the configuration information corresponding to the plurality of component devices, the content acquisition information corresponding to the hybrid broadcast service, and the performance of the receiver. That is, the SLS data may define information necessary for providing a broadcasting service such as component information constituting each service, a content acquisition method and a performance of a receiver required for providing a service, for each broadcasting service, .
By using such SLS data, the receiver can parse only the service selected by the user without parsing all received broadcast services, so that the receiver resources can be used more efficiently. In addition, the SLS data may be transmitted to the receiver by using a communication network as well as the broadcasting network. In order to support the transmission of the communication network, a URL capable of acquiring data related to the SLS data may be transmitted to the LLS data.
At this time, the SLS data may include signaling-related data suitable for each transmission scheme according to a broadcasting transmission scheme.
For example, when a ROUTE transmission method is used in a broadcast transmission processing apparatus, SLS data including a USBD (User Service Bundle Description), an S-TSID (Service-Level Transport Session Instance Description), and MPD (Media Presentation Description) Can be generated. In such a case, the MPD may be acquired from the broadcast service encoding apparatus capable of processing the DASH and stored in the
For example, when using the MMTP transmission method in the broadcast transmission processing apparatus, the USBD referring to the MPT (MMT Package Table) message, which is the MMT self-defined signaling, includes the package ID and the location information of the Assets to which the service belongs And an MP table having an SLS data.
The signaling
For example, a broadcasting transmission processing apparatus for packetizing content encoded in a form suitable for a broadcasting service in a form suitable for a broadcasting transmission protocol according to a broadcasting service transmission method, or a broadcasting multiplexing apparatus for multiplexing and transmitting broadcasting contents, Lt; / RTI >
In another example, a signaling data may be transmitted to a communication transmission server that provides contents through a communication network in response to a request of a receiving device receiving the broadcasting service.
At this time, based on the transmission schedule information, a transmission processing command corresponding to one of the LLS data and the SLS data may be generated to transmit at least one signaling data. For example, in order that LLS data and SLS data can be transmitted to at least one of a broadcast multiplexing apparatus, a broadcast transmission processing apparatus, and a communication transmission server at a proper timing, a transmission processing command is transmitted to a module responsible for transmission of LLS data and a transmission To the module responsible for the data.
At this time, LLS (Low Level Signaling) data corresponding to a broadcasting network among at least one signaling data can be transmitted to a first component device corresponding to a broadcasting network among a plurality of component devices.
For example, upon receiving a transmission processing command for the LLS data, the
At this time, SLS (Service Layer Signaling) data corresponding to a communication network among at least one signaling data can be transmitted to a second component device corresponding to a communication network among a plurality of component devices.
For example, upon receiving a transmission processing command for SLS data, the
The
At this time, data corresponding to the LLS data and the SLS data can be separately stored. By separately storing the LLS data and the data corresponding to the SLS data, it is possible to more easily provide the signaling data when providing the LLS data and the SLS data according to the transmission processing command.
In addition, it may store the broadcast information received from the broadcast schedule information generating apparatus. For example, it is possible to store and manage environment variables for management system operation together with broadcasting schedule information and broadcast service information.
In addition, the signaling data stored in the

In addition, the signaling data transmission method of the hybrid broadcasting service according to an embodiment of the present invention generates at least one signaling data corresponding to each of the broadcasting network and the communication network based on the broadcasting information (S520).
In this case, the signaling data generation unit for generating signaling data may be divided into a part for generating LLS data internally and a part for generating SLS data. The signaling data generation unit analyzes the information about the broadcasting service included in the broadcasting information and generates LLS data or SLS data Lt; / RTI >
At this time, LLS data may be generated according to an IP packet type including at least one of a SLT (Service List Table) and an RRT (Rating Region Table).

For example, when a ROUTE transmission method is used in a broadcast transmission processing apparatus, SLS data including a USBD (User Service Bundle Description), an S-TSID (Service-Level Transport Session Instance Description), and MPD (Media Presentation Description) Can be generated. In such a case, the MPD may be acquired from a broadcast service encoding apparatus capable of processing the DASH and stored in the signaling database together with other SLS data.

For example, upon receiving a transmission processing command for SLS data, signaling data constituting SLS data in the signaling database can be obtained. Thereafter, the SLS data acquired from the signaling database can be transmitted to the broadcast transmission processing apparatus, the broadcast multiplexing apparatus, or the communication transmission server. It is also possible to stop the transmission in accordance with the transmission processing command.
As a result of the determination in step S645, if the communication network is not set to be used, the broadcasting service is provided to the component corresponding to the communication network without transmitting the signaling data.
