A method of processing a service in a transmitter, and including generating, by a hardware processor, a first media component and a second media component for the service; generating, by the hardware processor, signaling data for the service; time interleaving, by a time interleaver, the first media component, wherein the first media component is time-interleaved by column-wise writing actual Forward Error Correction (FEC) blocks including the first media component in a Time Interleaving (TI) memory and diagonal-wise reading the first media component in the actual FEC blocks from the TI memory, wherein one or more virtual FEC blocks are skipped during the diagonal-wise reading the written first media component, and wherein a number of the one or more virtual FEC blocks is equal to a difference between a number of the actual FEC blocks and a column number of the TI memory; generating, by a signaling generator, physical layer signaling information, wherein the physical layer signaling information includes first physical layer signaling information and second physical layer signaling information, wherein the first physical layer signaling information includes information for identifying a size of the second physical layer signaling information and wherein the second physical layer signaling information includes information for obtaining the column number of the TI memory; transmitting, by an antenna, the time-interleaved first media component, the physical layer signaling information and the signaling data through a broadcast network; and transmitting, by a network interface, the second media component to a receiver through a broadband network. Further, the signaling data transmitted through the broadcast network includes first timeline information for specifying a timeline of the first media component transmitted through the broadcast network and uniform resource location information for the second media component.

Provided is a broadcasting control apparatus configured to generate a system time for broadcasting control, the system time being synchronized with a reference time in accordance with a predetermined time protocol, and configured to correct, when leap second adjustment information indicating that leap second adjustment is scheduled to be completed at a first time in the reference time is received, the system time by a correction amount depending on a time length D over a correction period having the time length D from a second time earlier than the first time, the time length D being set such that a correction amount per second of the system time is equal to or less than a cycle corresponding to an inverse of a video frame rate.

A transmitting method stores data making up a coded stream into a predetermined data unit and transmits the stored data in the predetermined data unit. The transmitting method further generates presentation time information indicating a presentation time of the predetermined data unit, based on reference time information received from an external source; and transmits the predetermined data unit, first control information which includes the generated presentation time information, and second control information which includes leap second information indicating whether or not the presentation time information is a time that is before a leap second adjustment. A receiving method receives the predetermined data unit, first control information, and second control information; and reproduces the received predetermined data unit based on the first and second control information that are received.

Systems and methods are provided herein for recording a portion of content of a sports game. A request to record the portion of the content, which specifies game clock time criteria, is received by user equipment. During transmission of the content, frames of the content including a game progress graphic are analyzed to determine time values representing progress points of the sports game. In response to determining that a first time value representing a first progress point of the sports game matches the game clock time criteria of the request, the user equipment begins to record the portion of the content. In response to determining that a second time value does not match the game clock time criteria of the request, the user equipment stops the recording of the portion of the content and stores the recorded portion of the content.

The present invention proposes a method of transmitting a broadcast signal. The method of transmitting a broadcast signal according to the present invention provides a system capable of supporting next-generation broadcast services in an environment supporting next-generation hybrid broadcast using terrestrial broadcast networks and the Internet. In addition, an efficient signaling method for covering terrestrial broadcast networks and the Internet in an environment supporting next-generation hybrid broadcast is proposed.
