Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for receiving service discovery information in a client in a hybrid delivery multimedia transmission system, the method including receiving service discovery information related to a service and comprising service type information indicating that the service is provided by a plurality of channels including a first channel of a first network and a second channel of a second network, the second channel being different from the first channel, in a plurality of networks including the first network and the second network, different from the first network, and parsing the service type information.
Claims12
A method for receiving service discovery information in a client in a hybrid delivery multimedia transmission system, comprising:
- receiving service discovery information related to a service and comprising service type information indicating that the service is provided by a plurality of channels including a first channel of a first network and a second channel of a second network, the second channel being different from the first channel, in a plurality of networks including the first network and the second network, different from the first network;
- and
- parsing the service type information,
- wherein one or more first service components of the service are transmitted to the client over the first channel of the first network and one or more second service components which are different from the one or more first service components, are transmitted to the client over the second channel of the second network,
- wherein the service discovery information further comprises relation information indicating a relationship between content of the one or more first service components and content of the one or more second service components, and network and address information for accessing the one or more first service components and the one or more second service components,
- wherein the first network is a broadcast network and the second network is a telecommunication network,
- wherein the network and address information for accessing the one or more first service components includes information about a frequency, an Internet protocol (IP) platform, and a first IP address, and
- wherein the network and address information for accessing the one or more second service components includes a uniform resource locator and a second IP address.
A client device for receiving service discovery information in a hybrid delivery multimedia transmission system, comprising:
- a hardware receiver configured to receive service discovery information related to a service and comprising service type information indicating that the service is provided by a plurality of channels including a first channel of a first network and a second channel of a second network, the second channel being different from the first channel, in a plurality of networks including the first network and the second network, different from the first network;
- and
- a software parser configured to parse the service type information,
- wherein one or more first service components of the service are transmitted to the client over the first channel of the first network and one or more second service components which are different from the one or more first service components are transmitted to the client over the second channel of the second network,
- wherein the service discovery information further comprises relation information indicating a relationship between content of the one or more first service components and content of the one or more second service components, and network and address information for accessing the one or more first service components and the one or more second service components,
- wherein the first network is a broadcast network and the second network is a telecommunication network,
- wherein the network and address information for accessing the one or more first service components includes information about a frequency, an Internet protocol (IP) platform, and a first IP address, and
- wherein the network and address information for accessing the one or more second service components includes a uniform resource locator and a second IP address.
