Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for providing an adaptive broadcasting service using classification schemes for Usage Environment Description (UED). The adaptive broadcasting service providing apparatus using UED classification scheme (CS) to provide a targeting function for selecting an Audio video (AV) program, a package or components of the package based on a consumption environment and user preference, in an adaptive broadcasting system for providing broadcasting contents including AV programs and packages to a user terminal, includes: a contents providing means for publishing and providing the broadcasting contents and metadata including the UED CS to the user terminal; and a contents searching means for providing contents identification information corresponding to a search and selection signal inputted from the user terminal, wherein the UED CS is a kind of metadata describing a contents consumption environment in order that the user terminal can select contents which fit to user's environment and preference.
Abstract:
Provided are package metadata and a targeting and synchronization service providing system using the same. The package metadata for a targeting and synchronization service that can provide a variety of contents formed of components to diverse terminals in the form of a package in a targeting and synchronization service providing system, the package metadata which include: package description information for selecting a package desired by a user and describing general information on an individual pack-age to check whether the selected package can be acquired; and container metadata for describing information on a container which is a combination of diverse packages and formed of a set of items, each of which is a combination of components.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to extend metadata for providing a digital broadcast program service to diverse kinds of terminals, and a system and method for providing an adaptive program service to the terminals by using the extended metadata. The system and method performs integrated management of resource information suitable for a combination of all (terminal, program and user) conditions of the personal terminal, manages resource-related information separately from temporal/spatial location information, and thus provides an adaptive program service by using extended metadata and recomposing an adaptive scene for a personal terminal so as to provide the digital broadcast service adaptively to diverse terminal environments on a home network. The extended metadata include: segmentation metadata including description information on a significant segment that forms the broadcast program; and resource description metadata including description information on lower composition resources of the segment in order to provide a broadcast program to the diverse kinds of terminals.
