BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(a) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method of providing broadcasting services simultaneously, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method of providing broadcasting services simultaneously, which when two or more broadcasting services are simultaneously provided for the same program by differentiating video resolution and quality, display an appropriate broadcasting service between the broadcasting service for a fixed reception type and the broadcasting service for a mobile reception type on a screen according to a reception situation of a viewer.

(b) Description of the Related Art

The domestic “terrestrial Ultra High Definition Television (UHDTV) broadcast transmission and reception matching” standard was established based on Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 technology that is the next-generation terrestrial broadcasting standard in the United States, and the world's first UHDTV broadcasting service is provided in Korea based on the standard, and new requirements are being derived according to the UHDTV broadcasting service model.

Although broadcasts are being conducted in Korea, but currently, broadcast terminals include not only fixed TVs having large screens fixed at home, but also mobile terminals, such as a tablet PC or a smart phone, with small screens, which are generalized. Accordingly, broadcasting business operators may want to provide programs of the same contents in two forms of UHD and HD media in one channel for users of mobile terminals, as well as a fixed TV. When the broadcasting service in the foregoing form is realized, a fixed TV or a mobile terminal displays programs of the same contents in two channels for UHD and HD media. Despite the presence of a high-quality UHD broadcasting program channel, the fixed TV provides an environment in which viewers make the mistake of watching low-quality HD media. Further, the mobile terminal displays the UHD broadcasting program channel, but fails to properly receive a large UHD signal according to a network situation, so that there may occur a problem in that no media is reproduced on a screen. Accordingly, when the simultaneous broadcastings are performed for the media of the same contents, information that can be processed by a terminal is required so that an appropriate broadcasting program between the broadcasting program for a fixed reception type or the broadcasting program for the mobile reception type is provided to a viewer according to a reception situation of the viewer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

In the following detailed description, only certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, simply by way of illustration. As those skilled in the art would realize, the described embodiments may be modified in various different ways, all without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the drawings and description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive. Like reference numerals designate like elements throughout the specification.

Throughout the specification and the claims, unless explicitly described to the contrary, the word “comprise” and variations such as “comprises” or “comprising”, will be understood to imply the inclusion of stated elements but not the exclusion of any other elements.

Hereinafter, an apparatus and a method of providing broadcasting services simultaneously according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of simultaneous broadcasting services for a fixed reception type and a mobile reception type in a terrestrial Ultra High Definition Television (UHDTV) broadcast according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, an apparatus for providing broadcasting services simultaneously may provide two or more broadcasting services providing the same program with different video resolutions or qualities within one channel through a broadcast network. For example, the apparatus for providing broadcasting services simultaneously may have a service which provides the same programs (professional baseball) with UHD resolution and HD resolution simultaneously, and enable a viewer of a fixed TV receiver to watch the program of the UHDTV quality and a viewer of a mobile terminal to watch the program of the HDTV quality.

In the terrestrial UHDTV broadcast standard, a Service List Table (SLT0 provides signaling information on a service list informing the kind of a current broadcasted program. Accordingly, in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the services for broadcasting programs of the same contents for a fixed reception type and a mobile reception type are provided simultaneously based on the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0, the present invention aims to solve redundancy between the ATSC 3.0 services by adding the information indicating that the program is being broadcasted simultaneously in duplicate to the SLT.

Currently, in the terrestrial UHDTV broadcast standard conforming to the ATSC 3.0, the SLT is defined as illustrated in FIG. 2.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an SLT defined in the terrestrial UHDTV broadcast standard according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the SLT does not provide information on other services corresponding to the simultaneous broadcasting in each service. Accordingly, in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 3, information indicating that broadcasting programs of the same content are broadcasted simultaneously in duplicate is additionally defined in the existing SLT.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an SLT providing an Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 duplicate service separator according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, when the apparatus for providing broadcasting services simultaneously simultaneously provides the services for broadcast programs of the same contents for a fixed reception type and a mobile reception type, duplicate service separator information (SimulcastServiceInfo, SimulcastService, @bsid, and @serviceid) indicating that the corresponding program is simultaneously broadcasted in duplicate is additionally defined in the existing SLT. SimulcastServiceInfo indicates other ATSC 3.0 services that deliver the corresponding service in duplicate. SimulcastService indicates the number of ATSC 3.0 services that deliver the corresponding service in duplicate. @bsid indicates a Broadcast Stream Identifier (BSID) for the duplicate ATSC 3.0 services. When the duplicate ATSC 3.0 services belong to the same broadcast stream, the attribute may not be used. @serviceid indicates an identifier for the duplicate ATSC 3.0 services.

A receiving apparatus may recognize whether the corresponding service is simultaneously broadcasted in duplicate by SLT parsing, the number of services that are being simultaneously broadcasted in duplicate, and the corresponding broadcast stream identifier and service identifier.

As described above, the method of adding the information indicating that the broadcast programs of the same contents are being simultaneously broadcasted in duplicate to the existing SLT provides only information indicating whether there is the duplicate services based on the ATSC 3.0 for the corresponding service, and a corresponding BSID and information about the service are provided when there are the duplicate services in the SLT. Accordingly, the receiving device has two or more duplicate services, but cannot recognize which service among the duplicate services is a service for a fixed TV or a service for a mobile terminal, and may predict and process the duplicate process by information, such as media resolution or a bit rate, of the corresponding service received after the SLT.

In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a method of adding information indicating whether the duplicate service is a service for a fixed TV or a service for a mobile terminal to the SLT together with the previously suggested signaling information is suggested.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an SLT providing an ATSC 3.0 duplicate service separator according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a code value of serviceReceptionType illustrated in FIG. 4.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, the apparatus for providing broadcasting services simultaneously further includes reception type information (@serviceReceptionType) in the existing SLT as duplicate service information. The reception type information indicates information indicating which one between two or more duplicate services is a service for a fixed TV or a service or a mobile terminal in the form of the reception.

The reception type information (@serviceReceptionType) included in the service item indicates reception type information about the service. Further, when there are the duplicate services for the same program as that of the service (serviceid), the reception type information for the duplicate services is displayed in the reception type information (@serviceReceptionType) included in the duplicate service (SimulcastService) item.

The reception type information (@serviceReceptionType) indicates a target reception type of the corresponding service, and a value of the reception type information (@serviceReceptionType) is defined as illustrated in FIG. 5.

For example, when the service (serviced) is a UHD video service for a fixed TV as a target reception, the apparatus for providing the broadcasting services simultaneously displays information indicating the fixed TV in the reception type information (@serviceReceptionType) included in the service item. When the apparatus for providing the broadcasting services simultaneously provides a video service for the same program as that of the service (serviceId) to a mobile terminal in duplicate, the apparatus for providing the broadcasting service simultaneously provides duplicate service information, and in this case, the apparatus for providing the broadcasting service displays information indicating the mobile terminal in the reception type information (@serviceReceptionType) included in the duplicate service (SimulcastService) item.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an SLT providing an ATSC 3.0 duplicate service separator using capability information of a service according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
