Provided are a terminal, system and method for providing augmented broadcasting service. The method includes receiving augmented broadcasting service information including information indicating that it is possible to provide augmented broadcasting service, information on an augmented content providing server, and information on an augmented scene description data providing server for presenting augmented content on a television (TV) screen, acquiring augmented scene description data and augmented content selected by a user from the augmented content providing server and the augmented scene description data providing server, and outputting the augmented content to be overlaid on broadcast content according to the augmented scene description data.

Terminal, system and method for providing augmented broadcasting service using augmented scene description data

Provided is a method for processing augmented broadcast content, and the method includes receiving, from a broadcast content provider, broadcast content and augmentation region information required to composite augmented content to an augmentation region in the broadcast content; receiving, from a user input device, selection information necessary to select one out of a plurality of augmented content providers; generating an augmented content request message based on the augmentation region information, and transmitting the augmentation content request message to an augmented content provider selected based on the selection information; receiving the augmented content from the augmented content provider; and compositing the augmented content to the augmentation region in the broadcast content by using the augmentation region information.

Method and apparatus for processing augmented broadcast content using augmentation region information

Provided are method and apparatus for representing sensory effects, and a computer readable recording medium storing user sensory preference metadata. A method for providing user preference information includes: receiving preference information for predetermined sensory effects from a user; and generating user sensory preference metadata including the received preference information, wherein the user sensory preference metadata includes personal preference information that describes the preference information.

Method and apparatus for representing sensory effects and computer readable recording medium storing user sensory preference metadata

Provided is a method and apparatus for generating and consuming sensory effect media. The method for generating sensory effect media includes receiving sensory effect information about sensory effects that are applied to media, and generating sensory effect metadata including the received sensory effect information. The sensory effect metadata includes effect description information for describing the sensory effects and device control description information for controlling devices that perform the sensory effects.

Provided are an interoperable DRM device and method thereof. The interoperable DRM device includes: an interface for communicating with a terminal that performs predetermined operations for reproducing contents; and a DRM processor for managing digital rights of the contents. The DRM processor exchanges messages with the terminal for interoperably managing the digital rights.

Interoperable digital rights management device and method thereof

Provided are an apparatus for executing interoperable digital rights management (DRM) using a contents device and a method of performing an operation between the contents device and a DRM tool for interoperable DRM, and more particularly, a method and apparatus for executing a DRM tool in various environments, regardless of the type of device or type of DRM tool, using an interfaced DRM executing apparatus including a DRM processor or a DRM tool agent.

Apparatus for executing interoperable digital rights management using contents device and method of performing operations between contents device and digital rights management tool for interoperable digital rights management

Provided is an apparatus and method for creating device association/control information for realistic media representation. The device includes a media analyzer, a device information creator, a device parameter creator, a device attribute database, a device control information creator, and a device control stream creator. The media analyzer analyzes media to determine control values and control times for control parameters of respective devices to be associated for media reproduction. The device information creator creates device information by searching peripheral devices connected to a media reproduction device. The device parameter creator creates device parameter information by extracting controllable factors for the respective devices. The device attribute database stores the device information and the device parameter information. The device control information creator creates device control information including control values and control times for the respective device parameters. The device control stream creator creates a device control stream by converting the device control information into a stream-format binary code in the order of reproduction. Herein, one or more devices are associated according to the contents of the media. The apparatus and method can provide the optimal media representation effect by controlling peripheral devices suitably for an available environment by creating a signal for controlling the peripheral devices according to the media contents.
