A collection of well-formed, but possibly semantically invalid, binary encoded multimedia data components or packages as well as the binary encoded announcement, signaling, and interchange protocols used in their transmission are converted into one or more well-formed extensible markup language (XML) files. Such XML files may then be validated according to one or more pre-defined XML schemas, or similar schema languages, in order to verify that the data and protocol structures and substructures adhere to prior defined semantic constraints.

Validation of content

Verification of semantic constraints in multimedia data and in its announcement, signaling and interchange

Provided is a method of providing a remote user interface (UI) service of a remote UI client device. The method includes: receiving optimized scalable vector graphics (OSVG) information encoded so as to represent graphics including contents and a UI from a remote UI server device; decoding the encoded OSVG information; and rendering the decoded OSVG information using an OSVG primitive application programming interface (API).

Method and apparatus for providing remote user interface service

A method of controlling a content recording device, by generating control commands in a uniform resource identifier (URI) format and controlling the content recording device according to the generated control command(s), is provided.

Method and apparatus for controlling content recording device

An apparatus and method for providing multiple screens is provided. The apparatus for providing multiple screens includes a service processing module providing a plurality of services, an interface module through which an audio content is independently selected from the plurality of services, and an output module outputting the selected audio content.

Apparatus for providing multiple screens and method of dynamically configuring multiple screens

A method of and an apparatus are provided for signaling a transmission code set in data broadcasting. A client using the transmission code set signaling method includes a demultiplexer demultiplexing a packetized elementary stream (PES) packet corresponding to a program selected by a user from the broadcasting stream received by the system interface, an image decoder decoding the demultiplexed PES for images, a sound decoder decoding the demultiplexed PES for sound, and a CPU fetching information about a transmission code set of a character string used in an object carousel message from the demultiplexed message PES and decoding the character string used in the object carousel message based on the fetched information about the transmission code set.

Method and apparatus for signaling transmission code set in data broadcasting

An apparatus for providing multiple screens and a method of dynamically configuring the multiple screens are provided. The apparatus for providing multiple screens uses flags included transferred packets in order to dynamically configure multiple screens that provide a plurality of contents on a physical display device and a method of dynamically configuring multiple screens. The apparatus for providing multiple screens includes a digital signal processing module which determines whether an application included in data information can be executed on a screen on the basis of received data information, and an operational module which operates the application on the screen on the basis of the determination result.

An apparatus for providing multiple screens and a method of dynamically configuring multiple screens are provided. The apparatus for providing multiple screens includes a digital signal processing module which receives predetermined information and restores a service based on the predetermined information, a service processing module which displays one or more logical screens associated with the service, and an output module which arranges the logical screens provided by the service processing module at different locations on a display screen. The logical screens have attribute information indicating an order of displaying the logical screens that are mapped to the display screen.

An apparatus for providing multiple screens and a method of dynamically configuring multiple screens are provided. The apparatus for providing multiple screens is capable of providing a plurality of contents on a single physical display device and reconstructing a form or connection relationship among screens existing on a system. The apparatus for providing multiple screens includes an operation module which generates at least one screen for displaying a service and a setting module which senses a change of set of the screen.

An apparatus for providing multiple screens and a method of dynamically configuring the multiple screens are provided. The apparatus for providing multiple screens retrieves the type of the screens in the device and connection relationship therebetween in order to dynamically configure multiple screens that provide a plurality of services on a physical display device. The apparatus for providing multiple screens includes an operation module generating at least one of screens for displaying a received service, and a retrieval module retrieving a screen on which an application included in the service is executed among the screens.

An apparatus for providing multiple screens and a method of dynamically configuring multiple screens are provided. The apparatus for providing multiple screens includes a service processing module which generates logical screens displaying services and a display screen and swaps the services between the logical screens, and an output module which maps the logical screens to arbitrary locations on the display screen.

The present invention performs multiscreen configuration and multiscreen management by using a plurality of screens and a plurality of methods in order to represent a plurality of service contents. In accordance with a multiscreen configuration method of the present invention, by mutually assigning one or more broadcasting services, one or more logical screens, one or more display screens, and one or more output ports, ultimately outputting service contents which are executed on screens assigned by output ports, and setting, changing, and reporting configuration of a multiscreen, the configuration of the multiscreen may be set or reset so as to effectively output various service contents on the multiscreen by using a desired method.
