Methods and apparatus are provided for selecting a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for Internet Protocol (IP)-based services. A service request message is received from a user. The service request message includes user location information. The CDN is selected in accordance with the user location information. The service request message is transmitted to the CDN for connection of a corresponding delivery function module of the CDN to the user.

A method for network operators to control traffic between a server and a client so that client-induced traffic preemption may be prevented is provided. The method includes the processes of an operator determining a network status, the network in which a server is streaming content via a multi-media transmission system, in accordance with a status of the network, determining whether to modify meta data by considering a set of predetermined conditions, and transmitting to a terminal data reflecting the modification decision.

Method and apparatus for controlling traffic using adaptive streaming in multi-media content transmission system

A system and method for providing content in a digital broadcasting system are provided. The system includes a server for, after a lapse of a buffering time of a segment of the content, storing the segment, and for transmitting an updated Multimedia Presentation Description (MPD) including Uniform Resource Location (URL) information indicating a location where the segment is stored, and a client device for receiving the updated MPD, and for acquiring the segment stored in the location indicated by the URL information included in the updated MPD.

Method and apparatus for providing timeshift service in digital broadcasting system and system thereof

An apparatus and method for remote control in a short-range network system, and a system supporting the same are provided, in which from a remote device that remotely controls the application execution device using a predetermined Control User Interface (CUI), information about capability of the remote device is collected, a CUI request requesting a CUI to be used for remotely controlling a currently executed application and the information about the capability of the remote device are sent to an application server, a CUI matching the capability of the remote device is received from the application server in response to the CUI request, and the received CUI is sent to the remote device.

Apparatus and method for remote control in a short-range network, and system supporting the same

A method for providing a notification message in a transmitter of a mobile broadcast system supporting an interaction channel is disclosed. Upon an occurrence of a notification event, a first means generates a notification message, and generates at least one delivery request message including a target address based on subscription information of the corresponding terminal, using the generated notification message. A second means determines a channel over which it will deliver a notification message to the corresponding terminal based on the target address, and delivers the notification message over the determined channel.

Method and system for providing notification message in a mobile broadcast system

A method and apparatus for providing broadcast content by an adaptive streaming service and a system using the same are provided, in which a content transmission server configures and transmits a manifest file including a content IDentifier (ID), and a client device receives the manifest file, determines whether the content ID included in the manifest file is identical to an ID of user-requested content for recording, and records a content segment received from a content providing server, if the content ID included in the manifest file is identical to the ID of the user-requested content.

Method and apparatus for providing broadcast content and system using the same

A system and methods for providing a Control User Interface (CUI) for controlling a Networked Device (ND) with a Remote Controller (RC) are provided. A Service Provider (SP) receives capability information of the RC and CUI information from the ND, generates a reconfigured CUI based on a location of the RC from which to control the ND, and transmits the reconfigured CUI to the ND. The ND receives the reconfigured CUI from the SP and transmits the reconfigured CUI to the RC. The RC receives the reconfigured CUI from the ND and controls the ND with the reconfigured CUI.
