- the service profile includes one or more public user identities (IMPU), core network authentication information (optional), and one or more filter criteria information.
- the serving CSCF described above is required for certain SIP requests whether it is appropriate to route to the AS (application server) using these filter criteria maintained by the HSS. Whether or not, etc. are determined, and filtering is performed. Information to be applied to the filter is stored and notified for each AS for each user. For example, for IPTV, the HSS holds information about the IPTV service provider and service identifier, and performs filtering based on these. The HSS also generates an AKA authentication vector (AV) that is used during the regular IMS registration procedure.

- Transcoding function network use It is necessary to execute coding in consideration of possible encoding methods and bandwidth available in the stream path, and processing that considers compatibility such as client screen size and resolution.
- the home network is connected to the distribution network by a home router that provides NATZNAPT (Network Address Translation Z Network Address Port Translation) functionality.
- Home routers can be classified into two profiles: full support and limited home routers. For example, to receive IPTV services, water UPnP IGD,
- NAT network address translation
- N APT network address port translation
- I such as home IMS gateway 212 in home network 210 shown in FIG.
- SIP messages between the MS client and the proxy CSCF in the CSCF 231 in the IMS network 230 are transferred using IPsec. If there is a NATZNAPT router between them, a UDP capsule of IPsec ESP packet [ESP] is used.
- NATZNAPT routers also have IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) proxy and IGMP snooping functionality to support multicast streaming delivery through home routers. If the home router has NATZNAPT routing functionality, it is managed by the IMS gateway. For the IGMP snooping function to work properly, an IGMP membership report must be generated by a device that wants to receive IP multicast packets. For example, an IGMP membership report for multicast streaming is generated by an IPTV client that is not by an IMS gateway.
- IGMP Internet Group Management Protocol
- Clients in the IPTV system such as the home IMS gateway 212 and TV 213 shown in FIG. 3, require an accurate time of, for example, 0.1 second to set a time stamp and start recording.
- the client implements a simple network time protocol client [SNTP].
- SNTP clients can receive time signals on a defined multicast channel.
- the media protocol used for media (program) communication must provide transport and control functions for real-time audio Z-video streaming of the media plane.
- the following protocols are used. Is done.
- MPEG Transport Stream MPEG-2TS
- MPEG time stamps are used for media synchronization.
- MPEG-2 TS packets are carried by the RTP protocol conforming to RFC3550 and RFC2250. [0222] * RTCP (Real—time Control Protocol)
- RTCP can optionally be applied to both media servers and clients.
- the RTCP protocol shall conform to RFC3550.
- all media servers and clients assume an implementation with and without R TCP support. For example, a media server can send a sender report, but a power client cannot respond via a receiver report. RTCP information can also be ignored by SDP before streaming.
- Packet loss in IPTV networks does not occur as often as in the current Internet, but a robust transport is required to perform data transmission at high bit rates (eg HD streaming).
- a robust transport is required to perform data transmission at high bit rates (eg HD streaming).
- the packet loss rate per content for 2 hours is 1 or less” is used as the standard for the packet loss rate.
- Two hours of HD content will contain approximately 10M—IP packets, so the packet loss rate is required to be 10-7 or less.
- IPTV uses forward error correction (FEC) to correct errors.
- FEC forward error correction
- the FEC transport format shall be based on RFC2377 and its extensions. FEC information is described by the SDP to allow for different versions in the future.
- RTSP RF C23266
- trick play such as slow play, fast forward, rewind, and skip chapter.
- TCP is used for RTSP transport.
- RTSP is not used.
- a client establishes a media session using the SIP protocol, and RTSP is used for playback control after session setup.
- MPEG-2 part 2 and MPEG-4 part 10 are used for media codecs of video content.
- Distribution of media such as TV programs can be managed by a dedicated media server after setting up a session between the client and server, and the transcoding and encoding of distribution data is also performed via the network for media distribution.
- a unicast stream is set up by browsing in response to a request from the client. For example, when selecting a user-side SVoD title on the client side, the SIP—invite power that identifies the stream.
- the IPTV control function on the client side a media sano that has the desired content from the client using a protocol such as RTSP (for example, It is sent to the IPTV service 250) shown in Fig. 3.
- the IPTV control function of the client responds to the client's SIP invite, and the stream acts as an RTSP PLAY from the client, acting directly on the media server or as an RTSP proxy. Start through function.
- the cast stream is used, for example, in nPVR (network 'personal video recording) or VoD (video on demand).
- IPTV multicast stream encapsulates MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 part 10 frames as MPEG-2 transport streams, and then is set as RTP packets. RTP packets are transferred with U DPZIP.
- Multicast streaming is usually used for viewing TV broadcasts. There are two options for conserving multicast resources:
- IP edge devices are connected to the home network located at the upstream edge of the access and integrated network and the IP This is the first IP node between the backbone networks.
- the resource ID which is the identifier of the available resource, is entered in the EPG metadata.
- the client sends an IGMP join message as defined in IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) to join the corresponding multicast group.
- IGMP Internet Group Management Protocol
- the multicast group to join is searched for EPG power by the linking mechanism.
- the client is selected according to the provided profile based on the provision of the user profile or client profile to the external server in the process of receiving the content list corresponding to the content that can be provided by the external server from the external server. Executes the process to obtain the content list corresponding to the channel.
- the channel change operation is the same with the exception that a SIP update message is not required between channel changes with different resource requirements.
- all resource requests are made by IP edge devices as a result of IGMP reports. If resources are insufficient due to channel changes, multicast combining will not occur.
- SIP sessions are intended for service monitoring rather than resource management.
- the client includes a function for limiting the IGMP channels to which the user is allowed to participate, for example, according to the subscriber profile held by the HSS 233 shown in FIG.
- the access node of the network can optionally perform verification that allows the subscriber to participate in certain channels.
- the basics of the multicast stream communication mechanism are the same as for multicast.
- the source and destination addresses at the IP layer are set according to the media server and multicast group.
- This section summarizes the multicast distribution content and multicast distribution content switching processing executed on the client side.
- the data processing unit of the client device uses IGMP-join (IGMP subscription) as a message in accordance with IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol).
- IGMP Internet Group Management Protocol
- the IGMP le ave IGMP leave
- the data processing unit of the client executes reception processing of multicast distribution content when receiving TV broadcast, and performs switching processing to queue distribution when executing VoD (video on demand) To do.
- user-specific content recording processing In the process of nPVR (Network 'Personal Video Recording), which is executed by
- a process for switching to multicast distribution is also executed.
- the data processing unit of the client executes a process for switching to the multicast distribution as a process for receiving the content list corresponding to the user profile or the client profile.
- the IPTV system can manage the quality of service of all network segments except in the home network. Traffic management is executed in communication via the network in the network configuration shown in Fig.3. The communication data quality control process will be described with reference to FIG. IPTV's QoS (Quority of Services) control Z management is performed based on RACS (Resource and Admission Control Subsystem) as shown in Figure 18.
- RACS is responsible for policy control, resource storage and admission control. This allows the service to request transport resources via RACS.
- the current RACS range includes multiple network interconnections used in IPTV systems.
- the RACS architecture includes SPDF (service policy decision function) and A—RACF (access resource and admission control function).
- the communication execution application maps application layer QoS information (eg, parameters defined in SDP) to QoS information sent to SPDF.
- the SPDF can be a proxy CSCF or a logical entity of another physical node, and the information required for this process can be a SIP invite sent from the client when the user requests a multicast channel or a multicast session. Obtained from the message.
- A-RACF located in the access network receives requests from SPDF, and based on these requests and the policy information stored in A-RACF, A-RACF is a transport within its control. You can accept or reject these requests for resources. This includes the IP edge and the access node, and finally the response Generated and provided to the application.
- RACS is responsible for resource conservation.
- the resource saving failure and failure notification processing are described below.
- SPDF is a communication execution application with Experimental-Result-Code AVP as the communication error code notification process with the following values: Return to proxy CSCF.
- the proxy CSCF that is the communication execution application needs to map the received error code to the SIP error code and send it back to the terminal (client), that is, reject SIP INVITE or SIP UPDATE. Note that the “Precondition Failure” SIP status code can be used for [SETUP] of this process.
- communication data in the home network can be prioritized based on priority marking.
- This approach follows the DLNA guidelines. For example, a mapping rule between the type of communication data (traffic type) and priority (priority [DLNA]) is set, and the priority of communication data is determined based on this rule.
- IPTV service processing will be described in order, divided into the following two items.
- IMS In the IPTV service, media such as programs are distributed on the IP network, and IMS is used for identity management, authentication, and authorization. I PTV systems use IMS to ensure that data communications are handled in a reliable, authenticated and authorized manner. In IPTV services, media streams Use SIP for distribution and use it to perform other functions.
- the advantage of using IMS is that all SIP messages automatically go through the IMS proxy, which means that the message content and header strength are for automated interactions such as setting the correct quality of service. It means that it can be used.
- the IPTV architecture is designed to also interconnect with DLNA communications that are converted to SIP, and in other parts of the system, for example, when interacting with components of the content management function, the IPTV application function is SIP. Signal communication is also received by the IPTV control function and converted to another protocol (HTTP, etc.). These processes are mainly performed by the IMS application server (AS).
- AS IMS application server
- Deployment scenarios 1 and 2 described below look very similar but are actually very different. The main difference is that in scenario 1, each terminal is assumed to have its own private IMS identifier (identity), but in scenario 2, the terminals share the same private IMS identifier. From the user's point of view, this is not visible, but for the operator, this is a major difference between the network management method and the subscription processing method.
- the scenarios described below are complementary rather than mutually exclusive and can occur simultaneously on the same network.
- FIG. 19 shows a client (home network client) 710, an IMS network 720, a home network 730, and an IP network 740.
- the client (home network client) 710 has a TV (DMP) 711 and a home IMS gateway 712 as a configuration for receiving the IPTV service, and the IMS network 720 has been described with reference to FIG.
- DMP TV
- these are divided into the control management function for executing content management, the service providing function for providing services, and the IMS core for executing control such as other registration processing and communication mediation.
- Various processes are divided into (a) application layer, (b) control layer, and (c) media layer, and are performed as processes involving communication between each layer.
- deployment scenario 1 is an example of processing when these devices that have a physical boundary between the TV (DMP) 711 in the client (home network client) 710 and the home IMS gateway 712 are integrated. It is.
- Figure 19 shows an example of client registration processing. Registration request is sent from the TV (DMP) 711 as a client to the IMS core of the IMS network 720 via the home IMS gateway 712, and the registration processing is executed in the service provision function. Is done.
- the client TV (DMP) 711 sends [SIP SUBSCRIBE] to the IPTV control function included in the content management function of the IMS network 720, as shown in Figure 20.
- the IP TV control function of the content management function provides the client with [SIP NOTIFY] that includes the multicast data channel address and the EPG URL.
- the client TV (DMP) 711 After receiving the SIP NOTIFY, the client TV (DMP) 711 starts listening on the multicast channel. It also downloads the first page of the EPG, displays it (if configured to start with user power 3 ⁇ 4p G ), and in some cases downloads many pages. After receiving the EPG, the user selects the channel to watch. At this time, [T SIP INVITE] is sent to the IPTV control function, which captures it and sets up the correct QoS. The user then starts watching the channel and switches between multicast channels.
- Figure 21 shows the communication when the channel selection process is executed by the user. Show the communication sequence! /
- IPTV client TV DMP
- IMS gateway 712 IP Mu Itimedia Services Identity Module
- the home IMS gateway 712 is used as a proxy, and the IPTV client TV (DMP) 711 directly registers with the IMS core.
- the home IMS gateway 712 passes the message to the IMS core.
- Control information is passed using SIP through the home IMS gateway 712, and media is delivered directly from the media server (in the content provider domain) to the IPTV client.
- Access to the service requires an IMS identity (IMS PUID).
- IMS PUID IMS identity
- the flow in this case is basically the same as the deployment scenario 1 flow, the main difference being that registration occurs through the home IMS gateway 712.
- the user obtains the EPG and media stream in the same way as scenario 1. [0256] (3-1-3.
- Deployment Scenario 3 DLNA—IPTV Interconnection
- IP IPTV Interconnection
- the IPTV—DLNA application gateway connects to the home IMS gateway 712 and, as in scenario 2, the IMS client Register as a SIP client that does not have
- the TV (DMP) 711 functions as an IPTV-DLNA application gateway.
- IPTV—DLNA application gateway can be registered when connecting to the network as a SIP client as well as without an IMS client.
- This deployment scenario 3 can be realized in two ways. One is based on deployment scenario 1, and the other is implemented as processing based on deployment scenario 2.
- the dotted line 715 shown in FIG. 23 means that the IPTV client TV 711 and the home IMS gateway 712 force may be physically integrated or separable.
- the following describes five use cases for IPTV and DLNA application gateways. From the IPTV system perspective, the IP TV—DLNA application gateway acts as an IPTV client.

- DMC digital media controller
- the IPTV-DLNA application gateway functions as a DLNA digital media server, similar to the 2BO X PULL use case. 2
- the difference from BOX PULL is that the download controller (+ DN +) downloads video content provided by the DMS. Content cannot be output to the IPTV-DLNA application gateway, but instead is downloaded upon request (eg for VoD services).
- the DLNA application gateway functions as a DLNA Push controller (+ PU +) that implements UPnP control points for the UPnP AV renderer.
- the user operates the client device to change the EPGZVoD of the IPTV service.

The home IMS gateway outputs this request to AS, and in step S 551, the AS content also acquires the content and forwards the acquired content to the client.
- the home IMS gateway discovers the IPTV control function and EPG data Enable [IPTV DLNA app GW] to enable interconnection between DLNA device and IPTV service (Enable) Le).
- [IPTV DLNA app GW] functions as a UPnP device, ie as a DLNA media server
- IPTV DLNA app GW starts SSDP (Simple Service Discovery protocol) discovered by UPnP control point [SSDP].
- SSDP Simple Service Discovery protocol
- the IPTV DLNA app GW functions as a UPnP control point, i.e. DLNA Push controller, the IPTV DLNA app GW does not need to start the UPnP device SSDP, but instead discovers the UPnP device. Start point SSDP.
- DLNA protocol that is, device discovery and device control of UPnP device architecture
- UPnP device a digital media server
- the digital media player and digital media renderer i.e. UPnP control point
- SOAP messages for control over media streaming and HTTP requests.
- the DMS of the IPTV DLNA app GW must respond to the request within 30 seconds at the worst, for example.
- the IPTV DLNA app GW is capable of maintaining a session to the IMS core (CSCF) and IPTV control functions while the DTV of the IPTV DLNA app GW is available in the network. If is terminated, the session can be re-established when there is a SOAP request and HTTP request from DMP.
- CSCF IMS core
- IPTV DLNA app GW acts as a push controller, that is, as a UPnP control point, it is possible to know the length of time that a session is maintained.
- the HTTP request for channel change from the DLNA device is converted to IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol).
- IGMP Internet Group Management Protocol
- IPTV service receipt cry The client can be disconnected from the network with the display turned off at the ant.
- the disconnection process from the IPTV service is executed according to the following sequence, for example.
- the client stops receiving media.
- IGMP leave In the case of multicast, IGMP leave (IGMP leave) is used to leave the multicast stream power associated with the channel that the user was watching.
- the client sends a SIP BYE to the IPTV service provider and completes the SIP session related to media reception.
- the IPTV service provider executes the RTSP TEARDOWN command to stop the RTP multicast flow, and the media server notices the SIP protocol! /, TE! /, NA! / Close the port.
- the client sends a SIP SUBSCRIBE to the IPTV service provider, informing the IPTV AS that it will be switched off on the client side.
- the client sends a SIP REGISTER along with the service expiration time to deregister the client identifier.
- the receiving data GRUU: Globally Routable User Agent URI
- serving CSCF power is required.
- the client sends a simple IGMP leave for the control channel. (Step 6)
- disconnection may occur without executing the above sequence. That is, an uncontrolled disconnect from the IPTV service may occur. In this case, it is necessary to stop the media flow of the program being transmitted. Shi However, in this case:
- IGMPv3 default timeout (225 seconds with group membership interval according to [IGMP]) .
- All SIP states in the network typically have a default expiration value of 3600 seconds. This state is related to SIP REGISTER, SUBSCRIBE, and INVITE.
- the timeout mechanism clears the state of the IMS core (if a reconnection occurs within the timeout, the timer increases after a new registration).
- IPTV service provider is discovered, for example, in the following manner, presented to the user, and can be selected by the user. This process is premised on completion of user power MS registration.
- the client first requests the IMS provider to try to find an IPTV service provider. If this fails, it is possible to make a request to an entity other than the IMS provider, eg, the root.
- the server provider discovery process also begins with the discoverability of IPTV service providers offering IPTV services.
- IPTV application server
- the service provider discovery step is, for example, “MPEG over IP-based network.
- a SIP request using DVB IP Dell that starts with service IPTV can be an IPTV provider.
- SP CANAL + can be identified by a domain name, and a service can be assigned a service-friendly name.
- IPTV application uses the IPTV service bootstrap service or the default address.
- IPTV client sets the IPTV SIP dialog control signal communication and routes to the IMS network CSCF. This also means that the exact address of the service can be added later and does not need to be known.
- the CSCF needs to understand that the IPTV SIP dialog is an IPTV dialog and set the route to the IPTV CF (Control Function). IPTV CF can now provide discovery information about service providers and the services provided.
- IPTV service providers such as SIP URIs
- SIP dialog When a user-powered SIPTV service provider is discovered, these providers are presented to the user. Users can then receive the EPG provided by the IPTV service provider (such as some! / ⁇ are VoD and nPVR content lists).
- the IPTV client uses the UPnP discovery mechanism to discover the home IMS gateway.
- Home IMS gateway implements UPnP IMS GW service, which is UPnP service.
- the IPTV client performs processing using SSDP, such as sending SSDP: M—Search or receiving SSDP.
- SSDP such as sending SSDP: M—Search or receiving SSDP.
- the IPTV client discovers the UPnP IMS GW service
- the IPTV client makes a request to obtain the IMS B2BUA IP address and port of the IMS GW, and then the IPTV client performs SIP with the IMS core via the home IMS GW. Start a session and discover the IPTV service.
- the processing sequence in the case of service discovery by the DLNA device described with reference to Fig. 23 is as follows.
- the UPnP control point of DLNA devices can detect DMS with IPTV DL NA app GW in the case of 2BOX PULL, DOWNLOAD, and 3BOX PULL described above.
- Service discovery for IPTV services is performed by the home IMS GW in the same manner as described above.
- the method of deploying multiple IPTV services varies from vendor to vendor.
- the IPTV DLNA app GW can use multiple DMSs each corresponding to an IPTV service.
- Each DMS is configured as a UP nP device that can identify the corresponding IPTV service so that the user can select the appropriate DMS for the IPTV service.
- the IPTV—DLNA application GW controls the UPnP device of the DLNA device so that it is not necessary to implement the UPnP device where the IPTV—DLNA application GW is discovered.
- EPG metadata is also distributed by Unicast.
- EPG metadata corresponding to basic programs corresponding to programs provided by the IPTV service and statistically popular EPG metadata such as the power distributed by multicast
- Other program information and thumbnail images Advanced EPG metadata with richer information such as can be obtained by searching using a cast.
- the EPG metadata provided by the IPTV service provider is regularly distributed over a single multi-cast data channel.
- the client's multicast channel control function described with reference to Figure 15 filters tagged EPG metadata, such as channel insertion, according to the client configuration, and stores the filtered EPG metadata in memory. To do.
- the IPTV service browser and IPTV navigation application use the MDC control function to search for EPG data.
- the cycle time for transmitting EPG metadata varies depending on the type of information.
- Multicast channel address of TV channel and content (program) currently being broadcast Service information is sent frequently, for example every 2 seconds.
- EPG metadata corresponding to today's program is sent every 30 seconds, for example.
- Broadcast TV service TV programs are scheduled in advance, so it is sufficient for clients to search for new EPG metadata for future programs once a day.
- EPG metadata updates are also periodically distributed over the multicast data channel, eg every 2 seconds, to notify clients of occasional program schedule changes such as emergency-youth or baseball games overtime .
- a client receives a media stream through a multicast channel to receive EPG metadata updates, it monitors the multicast data channel for EPG metadata.
- EPG metadata distributed through the multicast data channel is data including basic information about the program, which is program information, and includes detailed information about the program and related information about the program linked to the basic information of the program.
- the client can use a cast request to the EPG server.
- Program information is composed of text, video, audio, etc., and interaction with the user in these program presentations can be realized by bidirectional multicast communication.
- a preview video stream can be displayed by setting a sub-screen on the client display that displays the menu.
- the EPG can be personalized for each user or client, that is, can be presented as a unique EPG setting corresponding to the user or client.
- per-channel EPG personalization can be implemented in the same way that EPGs are configured according to channel subscriptions for user profiles. Depending on the user profile, program information for a specific channel may not be displayed.
- the channel display order for the EPG menu can also be personalized according to the user profile, that is, can be processed for each user.
- IPTV service provider Sano stores the data received from the IPTV service provider Sano in a buffer until it reaches a certain threshold, and then executes a process such as decoding for playback.
- intra-frame transmission / reception may be performed by multicast transmission for image reconstruction.
- I GMP leave I GMP leave
- all IGMP aware nodes are checked and compared with the list of nodes that receive old multicast data. If a node stops receiving multicast data, the multicast tree power node Processing is performed.
- Intraframes are configured as frames that contain enough information to reconstruct a complete video. These are usually transmitted at a period of 0.5 to 5 seconds depending on the code type.
- the processing of SIP interaction when setting up a new stream can be a delay factor.
- processing related to SIP INVITE executed in SIP interaction processing can be considered as a delay factor. Therefore, reducing the number of SIP interaction processes is one countermeasure for eliminating the delay.
- it is effective to set the SIP dialog to be generated only when the characteristic power of the multicast stream changes between multicast channels.
- a client adjusts to a normal broadcast channel, it requests a multicast transmission with stream characteristics to establish a SIP session, and any other change in the multicast channel requires only an IGMP interaction without SIP intervention. Only if the received stream characteristics are different.
- IGMP setup can be improved by making the multicast channel available as close as possible to the end user. However, this consumes more bandwidth in the access network.
- Intraframe delay required for starting decoding of an MPEG stream should also be improved. Intra-frame delays can be eliminated by using the pul 1 mechanism to obtain an intra frame from a point relatively close to the client in the network or by providing the client with an intra-frame using an out-of-band mechanism.
- nPVR Network Personal Video Recording
- nPVR Network 'Personal Video Recording'
- IPTV service provider records everything and stores it on a pre-specified time server. In this way, the user can see an nPVR EPG that looks like a normal EPG in the past without suffering from recording.
- the IPTV architecture needs to support an interface that identifies the program to be recorded and an identification mechanism to achieve this with the EPG. If possible, the link mechanism is the same as for TV broadcasting, and the command communication for recording processing can use RTS P RECORD command power or SIP INVITE to the nPVR including the details of recording.
- a user receives / plays back and plays an IPTV service!
- the client presses the pause button on the remote control, the nPVR recording function is executed, and then the picture is frozen and IGMP leave is executed from the multicast channel.
- the client stores the content. Data storage can also be executed on the server. Later, when the user wants to see it again, he can perform an nPVR search and play with the RTSP PLAY command.
- the content list (table of contents) that can be used in nPVR can use the same content format and metadata as EPG and VoD.
- VoD the same linking mechanism as for TV broadcasting must be used to identify the cast source, except that it is done by the linking power PTV control function.
- Searching for nPVR content lists is usually performed as an HTTP GET.
- IPTV service providers provide a server-based search function. The search page interface is entirely dependent on the service provider.
- An information processing apparatus as a client includes a data processing unit that executes reception processing of a content providing service provided by an external server by applying mapping information in which an external server outside the home network is set as a virtual home network device.
- the data processing unit controls the processing of nPVR (network 'personal video recording) executed as a user-specific content recording process for content provided by an external server.
- the data processing unit uses multicast to receive TV broadcasts provided by external servers.
- the distribution content reception process is executed, and the process for switching to the cast distribution is executed in the nPVR (network 'personal video recording) process executed as a user-specific content recording process.
- nPVR network 'personal video recording
- an IGMP leave message is transmitted to an external server or management server as a message in accordance with IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol).
- the client data processing unit upon nPVR (network 'personal video recording), requests an external server or another network connection server to record content using the storage means of these servers. It can also be executed. In this case, information necessary for recording such as recorded content information and time information is provided to these servers.
- the client data processing unit provides a user profile or client profile to the external server in the process of receiving a content list corresponding to the executable content of nPVR (network 'personal video recording) from an external server. Based on this, the content list selected according to the provided profile is acquired. Sarako, the client's data processing department is n

- NPVR recording time specification information
- the client is an information processing device that receives content related to IPTV provided via a public network that is not a home network, and an external server connected to the public network is connected to a virtual home network device. And a control means for controlling the recording or playback processing of the content on the external server via a public network so that the external server functions as a personal video recorder for recording or playing back user-specific content.
- the client control means performs processing for controlling the content playback processing on the external server via the public network.
- Server user content In order to function as a personal video recorder for recording, the content recording or playback processing on the external server is controlled via the public network.
- VoD Video on Demand
- a specification that delivers content in response to user requests on the client side. Basically, it is performed by cast. Insertion of advertisements and search based on advertisements can be executed in the same way as broadcast services and EPGs for content (media) distributed by VoD.
- the content list (table of contents) available for VoD can be browsed on the client side.
- This content list (table of contents) is limited to what the user is allowed to see, that is, it is set so that the filtered result can be viewed. Filtering can be performed within the network In that case, the VoD content list must be multicast, or the client can use multicast to preload the VoD content list cache.
- VoD content list acquisition is partially the same as EPG information acquisition.
- the client When playing back content using VoD, the client must select one of the available content that is authorized to be viewed from the VoD content list and output a content request. For example, if you specify content in the content list, the link for the URI of the VoD service is activated, the IPTV control function processes the request, verifies whether the user has already purchased the content, and the content has not been purchased. If so, the fee for the content will be verified, otherwise the content request will be rejected.
- Content filtering refers to end-user IMS and IP
- the content selection process is to make the content provided to the end user based on the TV profile and a set of subscribed channels only suitable for the user.
- the personalization is provided to the user based on the user profile. This is the process of selecting content. For example, it includes message and advertisement distribution processing for individuals based on user profiles.
- content filtering for example, only the channels paid by the user are displayed in the EPG and VoD lists acquired by the user.
- Content filtering makes it possible to generate and display EPGs that match the profile of the logged-in user.
- the user profile is downloaded from the sano storing the profile using XCAP, for example, HSS232 of the IMS network 230 shown in Fig. 3, and stored in the user device.
- XCAP for example, HSS232 of the IMS network 230 shown in Fig. 3
- content filtering is applied when generating a VoD view provided by the server or when receiving VoD metadata at the client.
- a user profile may be stored in a client that is a user side device and used.
- the user profile information in the external server or client device is presented to the server that provides the content, and the content providing server selects and edits the content based on the user profile and corresponds to the user.
- Content personalization includes message and advertisement distribution processing for individuals based on user profiles. These data for specific users are overlaid on the screen by the user's device, and are displayed in PinP (picture in picture) mode, for example. Personalization is performed by inserting targeted advertisements when the show enters an advertising pose while the user is watching a broadcast show or VoD content. Interactivity is also a form of personalization based on user profiles.
