- Figure 2 schematically shows an interactive application according to the invention
- Figure 3 schematically shows the most important components of an activating apparatus according to the invention
- Figure 4 schematically shows a set-top box according to the invention
- Figure 5 schematically shows a television set according to the invention
- Figure 6 schematically shows a digital video recorder according to the invention.
- Figure 1 shows a flow chart of associating an interactive application to a digital program according the invention.
- the interactive application does not mean this application shall be run with the involvement of the user of the digital program, but under some circumstances the interactive application can be run by itself.
- a certain event such as a goal of a football match can trigger an interactive application presenting the introduction of the sportsman of the goal.
- the digital program may contain an audio part, a video part and a data part. Compared to the interactive application, the audio, video and data part are played in a passive way for the user.
- the digital program may contain zero or more video sub-streams, that is MPEG PES (Motion Picture Experts Group Packetized Elementary Stream), zero or more audio sub-streams, zero or more data sub- streams and service information.
- An extreme example of the digital program is that a digital program only contains service information.
- the interactive application in the DVB MHP (Multimedia Home Platform) standard is encoded in the private sections as the state of modules and multiplexed into a transport stream.
- the modules making up a carousel will be broadcast repeatedly.
- the DVB MHP Multimedia Home Platform
- DVB MHP standard defines an application information table (AIT) in the private section as shown below, which is used to provide the related information of the application. This AIT table is also broadcast repeatedly and the minimum repetition rate for each AIT table is 10 seconds.
- AIT application information table
- the interactive application may have 4 types of different application control code: autostart , the application is automatically started; - present, the application can be started by the user, but not started automatically destroy, the application is requested to kill itself - kill, the application is unconditionally killed
- an application category of 4 application modes is introduced as follows: live only, the application is to be activated only when the program is live played, storage only, the application is to be activated only when the program is non-live played, - live & storage, the application is to be activated regardless how the digital program is being run, hybrid, the application has at least two mutually different portions, at least one of the at least two portions is conditionally executed in dependency on a program mode, the program mode indicating how the digital program is being run.
- the hybrid application will be further elucidated in details.
- the application mode is added as an activating parameter to the interactive application.
- the activating parameter of application mode is defined as a descriptor in AIT (see italics field in table 1).
- the syntax of application mode descriptor is defined as shown in table 2, and the semantics of application mode values is defined as shown in table 3.
- Table 2 Syntax of application mode descriptor
- the difference between the application mode according to the invention and the application control code is that the application mode is mainly to determine whether the interactive application is to be activated, that is sent to the application launchable list in dependency on the program mode, while the application_control_code is to control the lifecycle of the application listed in the application launchable list.
- the application modes may have more choices which may use a number between 4 to 255.
- the application mode may be added to other areas in the AIT than in the descriptor, for example, in one of the reserved fields in the AIT.
- activating parameter of the application mode could be associated to the digital program in other ways as long as the application mode can be extracted when the digital program is being played/stored.
- the above-mentioned program mode has two types, “live played” and “non-live played”.
- the program mode is detected by the source of the digital program. If a program is received from a tuner, it is live played; and if a program is received form a storage medium, it is non-live played.
- the detection of program mode may also be achieved by detecting a program property associated with the digital program, and the program property of the program mode indicates how the program is being run.
- the program property of the program mode may be introduced as a descriptor in the PMT (Program
- the flow chart of Figure 1 shows how to associate an interactive application to a digital program according to the invention. This process can be completed by one of the various current program making tools, such as Coral MHP.
- the digital program may contain some A/V or data sub-streams as described above and service information.
- Step S 120 a request to associate an interactive application to the digital program is received (Step S 120), and a plurality of settings of the interactive application is received (Step S130).
- One of the settings is an activating parameter, which indicates the interactive application is to be activated conditionally in dependency on how the digital program is being run.
- the activating parameter indicates one of the application modes defined above.
- the application mode value of the activating parameter is 2 which means its application mode is "storage only".
- the "storage only" interactive application is only to be activated when the digital program is non-live played and is not to be activated when the digital program is live played.
- An example of this invention is when the receiver receives an application of "Quiz" in a multimedia tele-education program with an activating parameter "storage only". If the program is live played, the receiver should ignore this application if the program is not being recorded, or send this application for storage instead of presenting it to the student if the program is being recorded. And if the program is non- live played, the receiver should present this application to the student.
- the application with the received setting according the DVB MHP standard is generated (Step S 140), and the generated application with the digital program is associated (Step S 150).
- the content of the application is in one or more files in a module, which is finally multiplexed into the private sections, the related property information such as the activating parameter is in the AIT associated to the digital program.
- the digital program is broadcast (Step S 160). It may be a satellite broadcast, a terrestrial broadcast or a cable broadcast.
- FIG. 2 schematically shows an interactive application according to the invention.
- the interactive application is "hybrid", which indicates the interactive application has at least two mutually different portions. One of the two portions is conditionally executed in dependency on a program mode, whereby the program mode indicates how the digital program is being run.
- the application mode value of the activating parameter is 3 as described in the above table 3.
- the interactive application 200 has two portions, the first portion 230 and the second portion 240.
- the first portion 230 has a portion mode "live only” which indicates this portion is only executed when the program is live played
- the second portion 240 has a portion mode "storage only” which indicates this portion is only executed when the program is non-live played.
- An example of a “hybrid” application is an application of "Exercise” in a multimedia tele- education program, which includes 30 pieces of exercises, where 20 exercises of this application are only available for the student after he/she has stored this program, and the rest of the exercises of this application is only available for the student when the program is live played.
- the portion mode of the 20 exercises is "storage only”
- the portion mode of the rest of the exercises is "live only”.
- the student can only access this "live only" portion of the application, therefore he/she can concentrate on the teacher's speech and will not disturb the teacher's schedule.
- hybrid interactive application may have more than 2 portions, and the portion mode of each portion could be one of the following 3 types: “live only”, “storage only” and “live & storage”, which have similar meaning with the application mode as described above, for example, "live & storage" portion mode indicates this portion is to be executed regardless how the program is being run.
- hybrid interactive application is that all the portions do not have the same portion mode.
- the interactive application 200 also has code 210 for detecting the program mode of the digital program, the program mode indicating how the digital program is being run, and code 220 for conditionally executing at least one portion of the application in dependency on the program mode .
- code 210 can get the program code form the middleware of the set-top box.

- the detecting means detects the program mode of the digital program.
- One alternative of such detection is to detect the source of the program: if the program is from a tuner, it is live played, and if the program is from a storage medium, it is non-live played.
- Another alternative of such PHCN040026WO detection as mentioned above is to detect the program property of program mode that has been associated to the digital program.
- the obtaining means 330 is for obtaining an activating parameter from the application information, the activating parameter indicating the interactive application has at least two mutually different portions, at least one of the at least two portions is conditionally executed in dependency on the program mode.

- the activating parameter obtained by the obtaining means 330 is "storage only” and the program mode detected by the detecting means 320 is "non-live played”. Then, the interactive application is activated, herein which means it is sent to the application launchable list. Another situation is that the activating parameter obtained by the obtaining means 330 is “storage only” and the program mode detected by the detecting means 320 is “live played”. Then, the interactive application is sent to the storage medium if the program is being recorded, or the interactive application is ignored.

- the activating parameter "hybrid” indicates the interactive application has at least two portions that have different portion modes.
- different portions are executed depending on the program mode detected by the detecting means 320. If the program mode is "live played”, the portion(s) of "live only” will be executed. If the program mode is "non live played”, the portion(s) of "storage only” will be executed.
- An example of this situation is an application of "Exercise” in a multimedia tele- education program, which includes 30 pieces of exercises, where 20 exercises of this PHCN040026WO application are only available for the student after he/she has stored this program, and the rest of the exercises of this application is only available for the student when the program is live played.
- the portion mode of the 20 exercises is "storage only”
- the portion mode of the rest of the exercises is "live only”.
- the student can only access this "live only" portion of the application, therefore he/she can concentrate on the teacher's speech and will not disturb the teacher's schedule.
- the invention can also be implemented by means of a suitably programmed computer provided with a computer program for activating an interactive application associated with a digital program.
- the computer program product for activating an interactive application associated with a digital program comprises code for receiving program information of the digital program and application information regarding the interactive application, code for detecting a program mode of the digital program, the program mode indicates how the digital program is being run, and code for obtaining an activating parameter from the application information, the activating parameter indicates the interactive application has at least two mutually different portions, at least one of the at least two portions is conditionally to be executed in dependency on the program mode.
