Method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving a content file including multiple streams

Methods and apparatus are provided for transmitting adaptive streaming mechanism-based content. Representations, which include content components, are combined into a group. At least two of the group, a representation, and a content component type are combined into a subset. The subset is transmitted.

Method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving content using an adaptive streaming mechanism

A real-time service method and apparatus for providing information generated in real-time mode are provided. The method includes generating, by a file generator a contents file including contents configuration related information and real-time service related information such that the contents configuration related information and the real-time service related information are separated within the contents file; and transmitting, by a transmitter, the generated file to a receiving device.

Method and apparatus for creating/playing a content file

An apparatus and method for providing a security service for UI applications in a network system. In a network supporting a user interface, encryption-unneeded data is distinguished from data in which security identifier is specified, that indicates a need for security between a server and a communication device, and the distinguished data is transmitted over a security channel and a general channel separately.

Apparatus and method for providing security service of user interface

A method of storing 3D image data in a recording medium includes: loading, in a predetermined file type field, image type information indicating either one of a single stereoscopic image or a compound image including a monoscopic image and a stereoscopic image; loading, in a predetermined image configuration information container field, scene descriptor information indicating temporal and spatial relations between a plurality of media objects included in the three-dimensional image, object configuration information indicating attributes of each media object of said plurality of media objects and a configuration relation between encoded streams of the plurality of media objects, configuration information of the encoded streams; loading in an image data container field media data of an image to be stored; and loading, in a meta container field, metadata including information for playing the 3D image data.

Method of recording three-dimensional image data

A method and apparatus for transmitting a User Interface (UI) to a client in a communication system supporting a Remote User Interface (RUI), in which a representation level of a UI requested by the client is determined, whether the representation level is available in a service provided to the client is determined, and a UI having an available representation level is provided to the client, according to the determination results.

Apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving a user interface in a communication system

Provided are a method and apparatus for encoding and decoding a datastream into which multiview image information is inserted. The method of decoding a multiview image datastream includes extracting multiview image information including information on at least one view image of a multiview image, from at least one elementary stream of the multiview image datastream; extracting a multiview image parameter regarding the multiview image based on the number of elementary streams and a correlation between view images of the multiview image; and restoring the multiview image by using the extracted multiview image parameter and the extracted multiview image information.

Method and apparatus for encoding datastream including additional information on multiview image and method and apparatus for decoding datastream by using the same

An apparatus includes a storage unit to receive and store an image file, a processor to parse a media data field of the image file including one or more image data samples and to parse a media header field including an image type data field indicating whether each of the one or more image data samples is one of 2 dimensional (2D) image data and 3 dimensional (3D) stereoscopic image data to generate an image corresponding to one of a 2D image and a 3D stereoscopic image based on the image type data field of the image file, and a display unit to display the generated image according to the image type data field of the image file.

System and method for generating and reproducing image file including 2D image and 3D stereoscopic image

A method and apparatus for creating and displaying a media file. A computer-readable recording medium is disclosed for storing stereoscopic content having two or more tracks and stereoscopic video-related information of each track in the stereoscopic content. The medium includes a duplication indication field indicating duplication of stereoscopic video-related information of each track in the stereoscopic content, and a track reference field including information used to connect a current track to at least one other track to which the current rack refers.

Apparatus and method for creating and displaying media file

A user interface method and apparatus for a Rich Media service in a terminal. A decoder decodes a received stream to check a header of the received stream. A renderer adaptively composes a scene using scene composition elements of the received stream, according to adaptation information in the header checked by the decoder, and a display displays the adaptively composed scene.

Apparatus and method for composing scenes using Rich Media contents

A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving rich media content. A creator creates configuration information of each node formed in a hierarchical structure in a changeable format in which a driver can change the configuration information, and transmits content including the configuration information of each node to the driver.
