The present invention relates to a device for receiving a hybrid broadcast service and a method for transmitting the same. The device for receiving a hybrid broadcast service, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a first reception unit for receiving a first broadcast signal transmitted through a first network; a second reception unit for receiving a second broadcast signal transmitted through a second network, wherein the broadcast signal includes a service information table; a signaling information processing unit for extracting the service information table from the broadcast signal, wherein the service information table includes a component identifier descriptor for signaling information for identifying each of a plurality of components constituting one broadcast service, the component identifier descriptor including identification information; and an audio/video processing unit for acquiring the broadcast service including the plurality of components by using the component identification information, and decoding and reproducing the acquired broadcast service.

A transmission apparatus includes a transmission unit. The transmission unit transmits a packet including divided image data as payload data, the divided image data being obtained by dividing image data having a predetermined frame frequency into a predetermined number of frames, the image data having the predetermined frame frequency being subjected to mixing processing for each frame, image data of a previous frame and/or a subsequent frame being selectively used in the mixing processing, and further transmits metadata including information regarding the mixing processing in association with image data of each frame.

A method for transmitting a broadcast signal according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises generating service layer signaling information for discovery and acquisition of a broadcast service and a content component of the broadcast service; generating service list information including for service list building and discovery of the service layer signaling information; and physical layer processing of the service list information, service layer signaling information, and content component.

A broadcast transmission method includes generating service data for a service, generating service layer signaling data, the service layer signaling data including first signaling data, second signaling data and third signaling data, the first signaling data including reference information referring to the second signaling data and the third signaling data, the second signaling data including a description of a component of the service, and the third signaling data including acquisition information of the component related to the service, and transmitting a broadcast signal including the service data and the service layer signaling data.

Video content is uploaded via the Internet to a video-on-demand (VOD) server identified by a title and a hierarchical address of categories and subcategories for categorizing the title. The VOD server converts and stores the video content at a storage address in a video content database linked to the title. The title is listed in a location of an electronic program guide (EPG) using the same categories and subcategories as in its hierarchical address. Any TV subscriber can access the EPG and navigate through its categories and subcategories to find a title for viewing on the TV. This can enable many new blogging or podcasting-like programs by popular “Hosts” to be self-published on the Internet and readily navigated for display on TV. The EPG can also store TV program addresses as bookmarks and allow them to be shared with other subscribers or with friends and contacts online by sending to their email addresses.

A method for retrieving a program data and a circuit system thereof are provided. The method that uses a dynamic packet identifier (PID) filter to retrieve the program data can be applied to a digital TV system. In the method, a master guide table is retrieved from a transport stream of digital TV signals, and a parsing method is executed to obtain a series of the PIDs. A polling method is used to obtain the program data corresponding to each of the PIDs. A filter window is applied to scan the PIDs for polling the program data corresponding to each of a group of the PIDs at once. After that, the filter window is shifted to a next group of the PIDs for polling the program data with respect to each of the PIDs, and an electronic program guide is accordingly formed.

The present disclosure relates to a method of transmitting multimedia content in a broadcast communication system, and comprises the steps of: identifying protocol information mapped for each service corresponding to multimedia content; transmitting service-related information including the identified protocol information mapped for each service; and transmitting multimedia content corresponding to related services to a receiving side by using the identified protocol.

The present technology relates to a reception apparatus, a transmission apparatus, and a data processing method that enable a frequency scan to be performed at a higher speed. The reception apparatus can receive a broadcast wave, perform the frequency scan on the broadcast wave on the basis of the number of providers information indicating the number of broadcasting providers providing a service in the same frequency band, and generate channel selection information for selecting the service, thereby enabling the frequency scan at a higher speed. The present technology is applicable to, for example, a receiver capable of receiving digital broadcasting.

Disclosed is a display apparatus including: a receiver; a communicator; a display; and a processor configured to: obtain first media information and a service app from a broadcast signal received through the receiver, receive second media information corresponding to the first media information from a server through the communicator by executing the obtained service app, identify a different schedule section based on comparison in between content schedule of the first media information and content schedule of the second media information, and perform an operation convenient for a user to use the broadcast program, based on the identified schedule section.

In one embodiment, a method of signaling individual layers in a transport stream includes: determining a plurality of layers in a transport stream, wherein each layer includes a respective transport stream parameter setting; determining an additional layer for the plurality of layers in the transport stream, wherein the additional layer enhances one or more of the plurality of layers including a base layer and the respective layer parameter settings for the plurality of layers do not take into account the additional layer; and determining an additional transport stream parameter setting for the additional layer, the additional transport stream parameter setting specifying a relationship between the additional layer and at least a portion of the plurality of layers, wherein the additional transport stream parameter setting is used to decode the additional layer and the at least a portion of the plurality of layers.
