Description

在數位廣播系統中傳送/接收傳輸流的裝置與方法 Apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving a transport stream in a digital broadcast system

本發明是有關於一種在廣播系統中傳送/接收傳輸流的裝置與方法,且特別是有關於一種經由傳輸流來傳送/接收推播資料(push data)的裝置與方法。 The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving a transport stream in a broadcast system, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving push data via a transport stream.

如今,數位廣播已經成為廣播通訊收斂(broadcast-communication convergence)時代的新的成功範例。數位廣播服務是能夠通過電纜(cable)、衛星(satellite)以及地面電波(ground wave)等在提供數位聲頻/視頻服務的同時提供各種附加服務的服務。與僅僅允許使用者接收以及觀看藉由服務而經由橫樑(transom)來傳送的影像的現有的廣播服務不同的是,數位廣播服務允許使用雙向通訊,此數位廣播服務諸如金融服務(financial service)、網際網路搜尋(Internet search)、電影、電子交易(electronic transaction)、高品質電視(high quality television)、超高速網際網路(ultra high speed Internet)、網際網路電話(Internet phone)、影像電話等等。 Today, digital broadcasting has become a new and successful example of the era of broadcast-communication convergence. The digital broadcast service is a service that can provide various additional services while providing digital audio/video services through cables, satellites, and ground waves. Unlike existing broadcast services that only allow users to receive and view images transmitted via a transom via a service, digital broadcast services allow the use of two-way communication, such as financial services, Internet search, movies, electronic transaction, high quality television, ultra high speed Internet, Internet phone, video phone and many more.

然而,由於正常的頻寬的問題,數位廣播系統不能夠提供隨選視頻(Video on Demand,VoD)服務或者準隨選視頻(Near Video on Demand,NVoD)服務。 However, due to the normal bandwidth problem, digital broadcast systems are not able to provide Video on Demand (VoD) services or Near Video on Demand (NVoD) services.

為了解決上述的問題,藉由採用相對低的頻寬,在不限制時間的情況下,配置有儲存媒體的使用者終端事先儲存用於VoD服務或者NVoD服務的各種資料(包括視頻/ 聲頻資料)。接著,在期望的時間,藉由已儲存的資料,使用者能夠接收VoD服務或者NVoD服務。 In order to solve the above problem, by using a relatively low bandwidth, the user terminal configured with the storage medium stores various materials (including video/V/D) for the VoD service or the NVoD service in advance without limiting the time. Audio data). Then, at the desired time, the user can receive the VoD service or the NVoD service by the stored data.

這種不管時間而使得使用者接收、儲存以及觀看對應於期望的VoD服務或者NVoD服務的資料的服務被稱作推播服務。 Such a service that causes a user to receive, store, and view data corresponding to a desired VoD service or NVoD service regardless of time is referred to as a push service.

然而,為了使用上述的推播服務,大多數的使用者終端在配置有用於典型的內容服務(content service)的調諧器(tuner)的同時還配置有用於推播服務的特定調諧器。此外,用於接收推播資料的充足的時間應當是可靠的。 However, in order to use the above-described push service, most user terminals are equipped with a tuner for a push service while being configured with a tuner for a typical content service. In addition, sufficient time for receiving push information should be reliable.

特別是,為了在執行用於記錄電視(Television,TV)內容的數位視頻記錄(Digital Video Recording,DVR)服務的時候一起執行推播服務,必需增加調諧器的數量。 In particular, in order to perform a push service together when performing a Digital Video Recording (DVR) service for recording television (Television, TV) content, it is necessary to increase the number of tuners.

因此,可以這麼說,數位廣播系統迫切地需要在未增加硬體的情況下安排用於滿足觀察者的各種服務需要的方案。在此,不言而喻的是,根據觀察者的需要而提供的服務應當是穩定地被提供。 Therefore, it can be said that the digital broadcasting system urgently needs to arrange a scheme for satisfying various service needs of an observer without adding hardware. Here, it goes without saying that the service provided according to the needs of the observer should be provided stably.

因此,提出本發明以用於解決先前技術中的上述問題,以及為了改善在數位廣播系統中的推播資料的傳送可能性,本發明提供了一種傳輸流傳送/接收的裝置以及方法。 Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems in the prior art, and in order to improve the transmission possibility of push data in a digital broadcasting system, the present invention provides an apparatus and method for transport stream transmission/reception.

However, it is not to say that the exemplary embodiment of the present invention is only used for a digital broadcasting system that compresses content material and pushes data by employing H.264. That is, example embodiments of the present invention are also applicable to H.264 and various compression techniques that can be used in digital broadcast systems.

在下文中,將結合所附圖式來描述本發明的示例實施例。 Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in conjunction with the drawings.

A.廣播系統A. Broadcasting system

圖1是根據本發明的示例實施例的廣播系統的結構的示意圖。 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a broadcast system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

請參看圖1,內容提供伺服器110接收以及管理聲頻/視頻和對應於內容提供者所提供的各種內容的各種資料。內容提供伺服器110還管理關於內容的額外資訊(incidental information),包括元資料(meta data)。此外,內容提供伺服器110儲存以及管理用於推播服務的推播資料。 Referring to FIG. 1, the content providing server 110 receives and manages audio/video and various materials corresponding to various contents provided by the content provider. The content providing server 110 also manages incidental information about the content, including meta data. In addition, the content providing server 110 stores and manages push material for the push service.

藉由採用安全伺服器120所提供的加密密鑰(encryption key),內容提供伺服器110加密待被傳送的內容資料。這防止了對應的內容服務被提供給未授權的觀眾。 The content providing server 110 encrypts the content material to be transmitted by using an encryption key provided by the secure server 120. This prevents the corresponding content service from being provided to an unauthorized viewer.

藉由施加預定的壓縮技術給多個內容中的每一個的資料,內容提供伺服器110生成TS。被內容提供伺服器110所使用的代表性的壓縮技術包括H.264媒體格式,H.264媒體格式是由ISO以及ITU所提倡的標準。此外,經由H.264壓縮的TS被稱作MPEG2 TS。 The content providing server 110 generates a TS by applying a predetermined compression technique to the material of each of the plurality of contents. Representative compression techniques used by content providing server 110 include the H.264 media format, which is a standard promoted by ISO and ITU. Further, the TS compressed via H.264 is called MPEG2 TS.

為了根據每一內容而生成的TS,內容提供伺服器110多工化以及傳送經由預定的壓縮技術所壓縮的推播資料。此時,藉由採用FEC技術以及交錯技術,內容提供伺服器110生成採用每一TS而待被多工化的推播資料封包。也就是說,內容提供伺服器110藉由採用FEC技術來編碼待被傳送的推播資料封包以及採用預定大小的封包來交錯已編碼的推播資料封包,從而生成最終的推播資料封包。FEC 技術使用預定的編碼率以及交錯技術使用預定的交錯圖案。 In order to generate a TS based on each content, the content providing server 110 multiplexes and transmits the push material compressed via a predetermined compression technique. At this time, by employing the FEC technique and the interleaving technique, the content providing server 110 generates a push data packet to be multiplexed using each TS. That is, the content providing server 110 generates the final push data packet by using the FEC technology to encode the push data packet to be transmitted and using the packet of a predetermined size to interleave the encoded push data packet. FEC The technique uses a predetermined interleaving pattern using a predetermined coding rate and interleaving technique.

在此,FEC技術是指增加附加的資訊(冗餘)給待被傳送的字元(character)或者框的發射器的方案,從而允許接收器藉由採用附加的資訊來偵測以及更正誤差。FEC技術允許接收器自我更正誤差。 Here, the FEC technique refers to a scheme of adding additional information (redundancy) to a character or a frame transmitter to be transmitted, thereby allowing the receiver to detect and correct errors by using additional information. FEC technology allows the receiver to self-correct errors.

因此,FEC技術主要用於不良的通道環境或者需要高的可靠性的情況。即使在產生誤差的情況下,FEC技術也允許誤差更正而不需要重新傳送,從而其可以獲得即時處理以及高通量。 Therefore, FEC technology is mainly used in a bad channel environment or in situations where high reliability is required. Even in the case of errors, FEC technology allows error correction without retransmission, so that it can achieve immediate processing as well as high throughput.

然而,僅僅根據FEC技術來傳送資料時容易發生叢發誤差(burst error)。 However, burst errors are prone to occur when data is transmitted only in accordance with FEC techniques.

因此,內容提供伺服器110也使用交錯技術。在交錯技術中,待被傳送的資料在其被傳送的時候被交錯,因此即使在傳送期間發生叢發誤差,也有可能改善資料復原的性能。 Therefore, the content providing server 110 also uses an interleaving technique. In the interleaving technique, the data to be transmitted is interleaved as it is transmitted, so that even if burst errors occur during transmission, it is possible to improve the performance of data restoration.

安全伺服器120支援廣播系統中的安全解決方案。也就是說,安全伺服器120生成解碼內容所需要的加密密鑰以及僅僅提供已生成的加密密鑰給被允許觀看對應的內容的使用者的終端。此外,安全伺服器120傳輸已生成的加密密鑰給內容提供伺服器110,從而內容提供伺服器110能夠加密以及傳送對應的內容資料。同時,根據支援安全解決方案,安全伺服器120能夠被分割為CAS伺服器以及DRM伺服器。根據支援安全解決方案來分割的CAS伺服 器以及DRM伺服器由於其各自的特性而具有不同的應用實施例。例如,CAS方案被用於DTH、電纜、IP TV等等,以及DRM方案被用於VoIP服務。更具體地說,DRM方案是這樣的方案,其用於已儲存的聲頻/視頻資料或其它資料的再生,或者為了設置使用限制期問或在傳輸到另一接收器之後防止使用者。 The secure server 120 supports a security solution in a broadcast system. That is, the secure server 120 generates an encryption key required to decode the content and only provides the generated encryption key to the terminal of the user who is allowed to view the corresponding content. Further, the secure server 120 transmits the generated encryption key to the content providing server 110 so that the content providing server 110 can encrypt and transmit the corresponding content material. At the same time, according to the support security solution, the secure server 120 can be divided into a CAS server and a DRM server. CAS servo based on support security solution And DRM servers have different application embodiments due to their respective characteristics. For example, the CAS scheme is used for DTH, cable, IP TV, etc., and the DRM scheme is used for VoIP services. More specifically, the DRM scheme is a scheme for the regeneration of stored audio/video material or other material, or to prevent the user from setting a usage restriction period or after transmitting to another receiver.

廣播網路130是用於傳送來自於內容提供伺服器110的TS給用戶終端的通信媒體的通用名稱。廣播網路130可以包括網際網路、電纜網路、衛星、地面電波等等。 The broadcast network 130 is a common name for transmitting a communication medium from the content providing server 110 to the user terminal. Broadcast network 130 may include the Internet, cable networks, satellites, terrestrial waves, and the like.

屬於用戶終端的視訊盒(Set Top Box,STB)140接收經由廣播網路130所傳送的已分封的TS。STB 140從已分封的TS擷取對應於觀察者所期望的內容的TS。此時,已擷取的TS具有根據預定的壓縮技術而壓縮的媒體格式的形式。例如,已擷取的TS可以是藉由H.264來壓縮的MPEG2 TS。 A Set Top Box (STB) 140 belonging to the user terminal receives the blocked TS transmitted via the broadcast network 130. The STB 140 retrieves the TS corresponding to the content desired by the viewer from the separated TS. At this time, the learned TS has a form of a media format compressed according to a predetermined compression technique. For example, the TS that has been captured may be an MPEG2 TS compressed by H.264.

STB 140復原已擷取的TS以成為內容資料。此外,STB 140提供已復原的資料給顯示器裝置,諸如電視(Television,TV)。 The STB 140 restores the captured TS to become content material. In addition, the STB 140 provides recovered information to a display device, such as a television (Television, TV).

通常情況下,因為已分封的TS被加密,所以為了復原內容資料,STB 140解密已擷取的TS的加密。因此,STB 140在已解密的TS中擷取已經被多工化的推播資料封包。此時,藉由諸如H.264之類的技術,已擷取的推播資料封包已經被壓縮。 Normally, since the blocked TS is encrypted, in order to restore the content material, the STB 140 decrypts the encrypted TS. Therefore, the STB 140 retrieves the push data packet that has been multiplexed in the decrypted TS. At this time, the extracted data packet that has been captured has been compressed by a technique such as H.264.

因為已擷取的推播資料封包已經根據本發明的示例實 施例而被交錯,因此根據用於交錯的交錯圖案,內容提供伺服器110解交錯已解碼的推播資料封包。從而,藉由應用FEC技術來更正傳送期間所發生的任何誤差,以及已誤差更正的推播資料封包被擷取並以檔案的形式被儲存在記錄媒體中。 Because the piggybacked data packet has been taken in accordance with the examples of the present invention. The embodiment is interleaved so that the content providing server 110 deinterlaces the decoded push data packets according to the interlace pattern for interleaving. Thus, any errors occurring during transmission are corrected by applying FEC techniques, and the error-corrected push data packets are retrieved and stored in the form of files in the recording medium.

為了解壓縮已壓縮的內容資料,分別從推播資料封包,STB 140來對內容資料進行解碼,其中從內容資料已經擷取了推播資料封包。接著,已解碼的內容資料被施加到顯示器裝置。 In order to understand the compressed compressed content data, the content data is decoded from the push data packet and the STB 140, and the push data packet has been extracted from the content data. The decoded content material is then applied to the display device.

作為顯示器裝置的示例實施例的電視(Television,TV)150輸出對應於STB 140所提供的內容資料的聲頻以及視頻訊號。此外,藉由觀察者的需要,TV 150接收對應於儲存在記錄媒體中的推播資料的聲頻以及視頻訊號。 A television (TV) 150, which is an exemplary embodiment of the display device, outputs audio and video signals corresponding to the content material provided by the STB 140. In addition, the TV 150 receives audio and video signals corresponding to the push material stored in the recording medium by the viewer's needs.

B.內容提供伺服器B. Content provider server

圖2是根據本發明的示例實施例的內容提供伺服器(server)的結構的圖形。在此內容提供伺服器的結構中,圖2所繪示的元件僅僅包括一些用於將推播資料插入(insert)到根據每一內容而生成的TS中以及輸出已插入推播資料的TS的元件。為了便於描述本發明,忽略了內容提供伺服器的其它元件。 2 is a diagram of the structure of a content providing server in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In the structure of the content providing server, the components illustrated in FIG. 2 include only some TSs for inserting the push data into the TS generated according to each content and outputting the TS to which the push data has been inserted. element. For the convenience of the description of the invention, other elements of the content providing server are omitted.

請參看圖2,分封器(packetizer)210接收檔案格式的推播資料,以及分封化(packetize)檔案型推播資料,從而生成推播資料封包。 Referring to FIG. 2, the packetizer 210 receives the push data in the file format and the packetize file type push data to generate a push data packet.

藉由具有FEC能力的編碼方案,根據預定的編碼率, FEC編碼器220編碼該推播資料封包。推播資料封包具有藉由預定的壓縮技術(諸如H.264)來壓縮的媒體格式(例如,MPEG2 TS)。 With a coding scheme with FEC capability, according to a predetermined coding rate, The FEC encoder 220 encodes the push data packet. The push data packet has a media format (eg, MPEG2 TS) compressed by a predetermined compression technique such as H.264.

具有FEC能力的代表性的編碼方案包括區塊(block)編碼方案以及非區塊編碼方案。區塊編碼方案包括線性編碼方案(諸如,漢明碼方案(Hamming code scheme)、哈德瑪得碼方案(Hadamard code scheme)以及格雷碼方案(Golay code scheme))以及循環編碼方案(諸如,BCH碼方案以及Rs碼方案)。此外,非區塊編碼方案包括渦輪編碼方案(turbo coding scheme)以及迴旋編碼方案(convolutional coding scheme)。 A representative coding scheme with FEC capabilities includes a block coding scheme as well as a non-block coding scheme. The block coding scheme includes a linear coding scheme (such as a Hamming code scheme, a Hadamard code scheme, and a Golay code scheme) and a cyclic coding scheme (such as a BCH code). Scheme and Rs code scheme). Further, the non-block coding scheme includes a turbo coding scheme and a convolutional coding scheme.

此外,具有FEC能力的編碼方案具有這樣的特性:它們不僅輸出原資料(original data),而且還與原資料一起輸出從原資料生成的同位資料(parity data)。輸出的同位資料的大小藉由用於編碼的編碼率來決定。如果編碼率(R)是k/n,則表示大小為k的資料被輸入,以及大小為n的已編碼的資料被輸出。在此,大小為n的已編碼的資料包括k個資訊位元以及(n-k)個同位位元。 In addition, FEC-capable coding schemes have the characteristic that they not only output original data but also output parity data generated from the original data together with the original data. The size of the output parity data is determined by the coding rate used for encoding. If the coding rate (R) is k/n, it means that data of size k is input, and encoded data of size n is output. Here, the encoded data of size n includes k information bits and (n-k) co-located bits.

例如,如果編碼率(R)是1/3,則回應於一個輸入位元,輸出一個資訊位元以及兩個同位位元。儘管上述的示例實施例是基於逐個位元(bit-by-bit)來編碼的,但是也可以使用區塊編碼,其中在區塊編碼中,逐個區塊地(block by block)執行編碼,也就是說,逐個封包地(packet by packet)執行編碼。 For example, if the coding rate (R) is 1/3, then one information bit and two parity bits are output in response to one input bit. Although the above exemplary embodiments are coded on a bit-by-bit basis, block coding may also be used in which coding is performed block by block in block coding, That is to say, encoding is performed on a packet by packet basis.

交錯器230交錯已經藉由FEC編碼器220而被編碼的推播資料封包。根據預定的交錯圖案來執行交錯,交錯圖案被預先設定在發射器(transmitter)以及接收器之間或者根據需要作為控制資訊而被提供到接收器。 Interleaver 230 interleaves the push data packets that have been encoded by FEC encoder 220. The interleaving is performed according to a predetermined interlace pattern which is previously set between a transmitter and a receiver or supplied to the receiver as control information as needed.

同時,交錯器230將已編碼的推播資料分割為多個區塊,每一區塊具有預定的大小,以及逐個區塊地交錯已分割的區塊。在此,優選為執行一種深度交錯,從而可以在長時間間隔上傳送已編碼的推播資料封包。 At the same time, the interleaver 230 divides the encoded push data into a plurality of blocks, each block having a predetermined size, and interleaving the divided blocks block by block. Here, it is preferable to perform a depth interleaving so that the encoded push data packet can be transmitted over a long time interval.

通常情況下,資料通訊期間的深度交錯需要在復原所需要的資料中花費大量的時間,這使得採用深度交錯不具可行性。然而,推播資料封包不需要即時資料復原以及允許同時復原整個資料。從而,在本發明的示例實施例中可以使用深度交錯,這能夠改善調諧期間資料片段丟失的可靠性。 In general, deep interleaving during data communication requires a significant amount of time in the data required for recovery, making the use of deep interleaving unfeasible. However, the push data packet does not require immediate data recovery and allows the entire data to be restored at the same time. Thus, depth interleaving can be used in an exemplary embodiment of the invention, which can improve the reliability of data segment loss during tuning.

已交錯的推播資料封包被輸入到多工器250。此時,因為多工器250應當被用於每一內容,所以已交錯的推播資料封包被分別輸入到對應於內容的所有多工器250。 The interleaved push data packets are input to the multiplexer 250. At this time, since the multiplexer 250 should be used for each content, the interleaved push data packets are respectively input to all the multiplexers 250 corresponding to the content.

同時,每一內容所提供的內容資料被輸入到編碼器240。編碼器240不同於FEC編碼器220。 At the same time, the content material provided by each content is input to the encoder 240. Encoder 240 is different from FEC encoder 220.

編碼器240以H.264所定義的類型來壓縮內容資料以及將已壓縮的資料輸出為MPEG2 TS。在此,根據各種內容的數量來配置編碼器240的數量。儘管接下來的描述僅僅討論了一個編碼器,但是不言而喻的是,其它的編碼器也可以以相同的方式來操作。 The encoder 240 compresses the content material in the type defined by H.264 and outputs the compressed material as MPEG2 TS. Here, the number of encoders 240 is configured in accordance with the number of various contents. Although the following description discusses only one encoder, it goes without saying that other encoders can operate in the same way.

對應於編碼器240所輸出的內容資料的MPEG2 TS被輸入到多工器250。 The MPEG2 TS corresponding to the content material output by the encoder 240 is input to the multiplexer 250.

多工器250使對應於內容資料的MPEG2 TS以及對應於推播資料封包的MPEG2 TS多工化且予以輸出。也就是說,多工器250在對應於內容資料的MPEG2 TS中插入對應於推播資料封包的MPEG2 TS。很明顯,經由使對應於內容資料的MPEG2 TS以及對應於推播資料封包的MPEG2 TS多工化而獲得的輸出資料也是MPEG2 TS形式。 The multiplexer 250 multiplexes and outputs MPEG2 TS corresponding to the content material and MPEG2 TS corresponding to the push data packet. That is, the multiplexer 250 inserts the MPEG2 TS corresponding to the push data packet in the MPEG2 TS corresponding to the content material. It is apparent that the output material obtained by multiplexing the MPEG2 TS corresponding to the content material and the MPEG2 TS corresponding to the push data packet is also in the MPEG2 TS format.

被多工器250多工化的MPEG2 TS被施加到擾頻器(scrambler)260。 The MPEG2 TS multiplexed by the multiplexer 250 is applied to a scrambler 260.

擾頻器260藉由採用擾頻碼來加密已多工化的MPEG2 TS,以及使已加密的MPEG2 TS被IP-分封化且輸出。從擾頻器260輸出的已IP-分封化的TS被輸入到網路開關270以及接著被最終輸出到廣播網路。 The scrambler 260 encrypts the multiplexed MPEG2 TS by using a scrambling code, and causes the encrypted MPEG2 TS to be IP-packed and output. The IP-packetized TS output from the scrambler 260 is input to the network switch 270 and then finally output to the broadcast network.

同時,已多工化的MPEG2 TS可以包括多個通道或者多個時間槽(time slot)。在這種情況下,藉由分別採用不同的擾頻碼,擾頻器260能夠擾頻已多工化的MPEG2 TS的多個通道或者多個時間槽。 At the same time, the multiplexed MPEG2 TS can include multiple channels or multiple time slots. In this case, the scrambler 260 can scramble multiple channels or multiple time slots of the multiplexed MPEG2 TS by employing different scrambling codes, respectively.

圖3是根據本發明的示例實施例的在數位廣播系統中傳送推播資料的控制流程圖。 3 is a control flow diagram of transmitting push material in a digital broadcast system, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

請參看圖3,在步驟310中,內容提供伺服器分封化檔案型推播資料以及接著輸出已分封化的推播資料。在步驟312中,內容提供伺服器執行推播資料封包的FEC,從 而生成已編碼的推播資料封包。在步驟314中,已編碼的推播資料封包被交錯。在步驟316中,採用根據每一內容而生成的每一TS來多工化已交錯的推播資料封包,從而經由多工化,推播資料封包被插入到根據每一內容而生成的每一TS中。 Referring to FIG. 3, in step 310, the content providing server encapsulates the archive type push data and then outputs the split boot data. In step 312, the content providing server performs the FEC of the push data packet, from And generate an encoded push data packet. In step 314, the encoded push data packets are interleaved. In step 316, the interleaved push data packets are multiplexed with each TS generated according to each content, so that via multiplexing, the push data packets are inserted into each of the generated according to each content. In TS.

接著,在步驟318中,內容提供伺服器生成最終的MPEG2 TS,在最終的MPEG2 TS中,推播資料封包被插入到基於內容的資料中。已最終生成的MPEG2 TS在步驟320中藉由擾頻碼來擾頻,接著在步驟322中被傳送。 Next, in step 318, the content providing server generates the final MPEG2 TS, and in the final MPEG2 TS, the push data packet is inserted into the content based material. The MPEG2 TS that has been finally generated is scrambled by the scrambling code in step 320, and then transmitted in step 322.

C.使用者終端C. User terminal

圖4是根據本發明的示例實施例的數位廣播系統中的使用者終端的結構的圖形。 4 is a diagram of the structure of a user terminal in a digital broadcasting system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

請參看圖4,調諧器410被調諧到使用者已要求觀看的通道,以及從經由廣播網路所接收的廣播訊號(即MPEG2 TS封包)中僅僅擷取對應於已調諧的通道的內容資料。 Referring to Figure 4, the tuner 410 is tuned to the channel that the user has requested to view, and only the content material corresponding to the tuned channel is retrieved from the broadcast signal (i.e., MPEG2 TS packet) received via the broadcast network.

基頻帶晶片(Base Band Chip)接收藉由調諧器410所擷取的MPEG2 TS類型的內容資料。此外,基頻帶晶片將MPEG2 TS類型的內容資料轉換為串行數位介面(Serial Digital Interface,SDI)訊號,輸出已轉換的SDI訊號,以及擷取插入到MPEG2 TS類型的內容資料中的MPEG2 TS類型的推播資料封包。SDI訊號包括4通道數位聲頻訊號以及複合數位影像的混合,以作為具有270Mbps的傳送率的數位訊號標準。 The Base Band Chip receives the MPEG2 TS type of content material retrieved by the tuner 410. In addition, the baseband chip converts the MPEG2 TS type content data into a Serial Digital Interface (SDI) signal, outputs the converted SDI signal, and extracts the MPEG2 TS type inserted into the MPEG2 TS type content material. Push data packet. The SDI signal includes a mixture of 4-channel digital audio signals and composite digital images as a digital signal standard with a transmission rate of 270 Mbps.

基頻帶晶片包括解擾頻器(de-scrambler)420以及多工解訊器430。 The baseband chip includes a de-scrambler 420 and a multiplexer 430.

藉由採用預定的擾頻碼,解擾頻器420對從調諧器410輸出的MPEG2 TS類型的內容資料進行解擾頻。已解擾頻的MPEG2 TS類型的內容資料被輸入到多工解訊器430。 The descrambler 420 descrambles the MPEG2 TS type of content material output from the tuner 410 by employing a predetermined scrambling code. The descrambled MPEG2 TS type content material is input to the multiplexer 430.

同時,藉由調諧器410所輸出的MPEG2 TS類型的內容資料包括多個通道或者多個時間槽。在這種情況下,藉由分別採用不同的擾頻碼,擾頻器420可以解擾頻MPEG2 TS類型的內容資料的多個通道或者多個時間槽。 Meanwhile, the content material of the MPEG2 TS type output by the tuner 410 includes a plurality of channels or a plurality of time slots. In this case, the scrambler 420 can descramble the plurality of channels or time slots of the MPEG2 TS type of content material by employing different scrambling codes, respectively.

多工解訊器430從已解擾頻的MPEG2 TS類型的內容資料中分離出內容資料以及多個推播資料封包。也就是說,多工解訊器430從已解擾頻的MPEG2 TS類型的內容資料中擷取多個推播資料封包。此外,多工解訊器430提供已分離出的MPEG2 TS類型的推播資料封包給解交錯器440。 The multiplexer 430 separates the content material and the plurality of push data packets from the descrambled MPEG2 TS type of content material. That is, the multiplexer 430 retrieves a plurality of push data packets from the descrambled MPEG2 TS type of content material. In addition, multiplexer 430 provides a separate MPEG2 TS type of push data packet to deinterleaver 440.

解交錯器440基於預定的或者預先接收的交錯圖案來解交錯MPEG2 TS類型的推播資料封包。此外,已解交錯的推播資料封包被傳送到FEC解碼器450。 The deinterleaver 440 deinterleaves the MPEG2 TS type push data packets based on a predetermined or pre-received interlace pattern. In addition, the deinterleaved push data packets are transmitted to the FEC decoder 450.

FEC解碼器450解碼已解交錯的推播資料封包。經由誤差更正,使藉由FEC解碼器450所執行的解碼盡可能對應於復原多個原始推播資料封包的操作。如果從經由FEC解碼而生成的n個位元中能夠正常地接收至少k個位元,則FEC解碼器450能夠使原始資料復原。在實際的操作中,如果除了k個位元之外還接收了10~20%以上的 位元,則能夠完全地使原始資料復原。 The FEC decoder 450 decodes the deinterleaved push data packets. The error performed by the FEC decoder 450 corresponds as much as possible to the operation of restoring the plurality of original push data packets via error correction. If at least k bits can be normally received from n bits generated by FEC decoding, the FEC decoder 450 can restore the original data. In actual operation, if more than 10 bits are received, 10~20% are received. The bit can completely restore the original data.

通過FEC解碼器450的解碼而獲得的推播資料封包被施加到解分封器(de-packetizer)460。解分封器460解壓縮已解碼的推播資料封包以及使檔案類型的推播資料輸出。 The push data packet obtained by the decoding of the FEC decoder 450 is applied to a de-packetizer 460. The depacketizer 460 decompresses the decoded push data packet and outputs the file type of push data.

從解分封器460輸出的檔案類型的推播資料封包被儲存在記錄媒體(儲存單元)470中。根據觀察者的要求,在記錄媒體中所儲存的推播資料封包能夠在任何時候被再生。在此,在記錄媒體中所記錄的推播資料被傳送到DRM模組480,其中釋放(即,解密)推播資料的加密,以及已解密的資料被最終輸出。 The file type push data packet output from the depacketizer 460 is stored in the recording medium (storage unit) 470. At the request of the observer, the push data packet stored in the recording medium can be reproduced at any time. Here, the push material recorded in the recording medium is transmitted to the DRM module 480, in which the encryption of the push material is released (ie, decrypted), and the decrypted data is finally output.

同時,藉由多工解訊器430所分離的內容資料以及從DRM模組480輸出的最後的推播資料被解交錯器440解壓縮,從而它們作為SDI類型的內容資料被輸出。 At the same time, the content material separated by the multiplexer 430 and the last pushed material outputted from the DRM module 480 are decompressed by the deinterleaver 440 so that they are output as SDI type content material.

圖5是根據本發明的示例實施例的在數位廣播系統中接收推播資料的控制流程圖。 FIG. 5 is a control flow diagram of receiving push material in a digital broadcast system, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

請參看圖5,在步驟510中,使用者終端執行調諧操作,以用於從經由廣播網路所接收的廣播訊號中擷取對應於使用者所要求的通道的內容資料。 Referring to FIG. 5, in step 510, the user terminal performs a tuning operation for extracting content data corresponding to the channel requested by the user from the broadcast signal received via the broadcast network.

因此,使用者終端在步驟512中解擾頻已擷取的MPEG2 TS類型的內容資料,以及在步驟514中從已解擾頻的MPEG2 TS類型的內容資料中擷取多個推播資料封包。已經被擷取了推播內容資料封包的內容資料經由解碼而被轉換為SDI類型的推播資料。 Accordingly, the user terminal descrambles the retrieved MPEG2 TS type of content material in step 512 and retrieves a plurality of push data packets from the descrambled MPEG2 TS type of content material in step 514. The content material that has been captured by the push content data packet is converted into the SDI type of push data by decoding.

此外,在步驟518中,基於預定的交錯圖案或者從發射器接收的交錯圖案,使用者終端解交錯已擷取的MPEG2 TS類型的內容資料封包。同時,在步驟518中,經由FEC解碼,使用者終端對已解交錯的推播資料封包執行誤差更正。 Further, in step 518, the user terminal deinterleaves the captured content data packet of the MPEG2 TS type based on the predetermined interlace pattern or the interlace pattern received from the transmitter. At the same time, in step 518, the user terminal performs error correction on the deinterleaved push data packet via FEC decoding.

接著,在步驟520中,使用者終端解壓縮經由解碼而復原的推播資料封包以及使檔案類型的推播資料輸出。此外,在步驟522中,根據使用者的需要,為了以後觀看,使用者終端將檔案類型的推播資料儲存在記錄媒體中。 Next, in step 520, the user terminal decompresses the push data packet restored by the decoding and outputs the push type data of the file type. In addition, in step 522, the user terminal stores the file type of the push data in the recording medium for later viewing according to the needs of the user.

根據本發明的示例實施例,在沒有足夠的頻寬用於廣播服務的情況下,藉由採用記錄媒體而不增加調諧器等等,就可能推播更多數量的資料。因此,僅僅具有單向廣播網路而使得頻寬有限的衛星、電纜或者地面電波服務提供者能夠傳送各種多媒體。 According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in the case where there is not enough bandwidth for the broadcast service, it is possible to push a larger amount of data by using a recording medium without adding a tuner or the like. Therefore, a satellite, cable or terrestrial radio wave service provider with limited bandwidth can only transmit a variety of multimedia without a one-way broadcast network.

根據本發明的上述示例實施例,藉由採用光學通訊中的回反射器(retro-reflector),可以獲得用於通訊鏈路調正(link alignment)的方法和裝置的操作與結構。雖然本發明已以較佳實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明,任何熟習此技藝者,在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍內,當可作些許之更動與潤飾,故本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。 According to the above-described exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the operation and structure of the method and apparatus for communication link alignment can be obtained by employing a retro-reflector in optical communication. While the invention has been described above by way of a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the invention, and the invention may be modified and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The scope of protection is subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application.

例如,為了便於說明,本發明的上述示例實施例將A/V檔案用作推播資料。然而,推播資料可以是替代A/V檔案的各種類型的檔案。也就是說,MPEG2 TS、AVI檔案格 式等等通常對應於用於將A/V以及資料插入到一種流(stream)或者檔案中的系統格式或者標準。在此,MPEG2 TS在傳送時間被用作一種流多工化方案,以及可以被儲存以用作待被用於替代AVI檔案的檔案。 For example, for ease of explanation, the above-described exemplary embodiment of the present invention uses an A/V file as a push material. However, the push data can be various types of files that replace the A/V file. In other words, MPEG2 TS, AVI file grid The equations and the like generally correspond to system formats or standards for inserting A/V and data into a stream or archive. Here, MPEG2 TS is used as a streaming multiplex scheme at the transmission time, and can be stored for use as an archive to be used in place of the AVI archive.

因此,在本發明的示例實施例中所使用的推播資料與檔案的類型沒有關係,以及為了在IP封包或相似的封包以及MPEG2 TS中應用多工化,在本發明的上述示例實施例中已經執行了推播資料的分封化。 Therefore, the push material used in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention has no relationship with the type of the archive, and in order to apply multiplexing in IP packets or similar packets and MPEG2 TS, in the above-described exemplary embodiment of the present invention The decapsulation of the push material has been implemented.
