Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and a method for processing conditional access system (CAS)-based content. A method of operating a broadcast receiving apparatus includes: receiving a broadcast stream that includes content encrypted based on a CAS; extracting, from the received broadcast stream, CAS information for decrypting the encrypted content; receiving an entitlement control message (ECM) having a preset format based on the CAS information generated in a different format for each broadcasting business operator; and displaying the content decrypted based on the ECM.
Claims15
A method of operating a broadcast receiving apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a broadcast providing apparatus, a broadcast stream that comprises content encrypted based on a conditional access system (CAS);
- extracting, from the received broadcast stream, CAS information for decrypting the encrypted content, wherein the CAS information includes identification information for identifying at least one of a plurality of CASs;
- generating a uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to the identification information;
- receiving, from an external electronic apparatus, an entitlement control message (ECM) having a preset format based on the CAS information, the external electronic apparatus being different from the broadcast providing apparatus;
- and
- displaying the content decrypted based on the ECM,
- wherein the receiving of the ECM comprises receiving the ECM based on the URL, and
- wherein the CAS information includes CAS data generated in a different format for each of a plurality of broadcasting business operators.
A broadcast receiving apparatus comprising:
- a display;
- a communication unit;
- a memory storing at least one instruction;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the at least one instruction to control the broadcast receiving apparatus,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the at least one instruction to:
- receive, from a broadcast providing apparatus, a broadcast stream that comprises content encrypted based on a conditional access system (CAS);
- extract, from the received broadcast stream, CAS information for decrypting the encrypted content, wherein the CAS information includes identification information for identifying at least one of a plurality of CASs;
- generate a uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to the identification information;
- receive, from an external electronic apparatus, an entitlement control message (ECM) having a preset format based on the CAS information via the communication unit, the external electronic apparatus being different from the broadcast providing apparatus;
- and
- display the content decrypted based on the ECM,
- wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the at least one instruction to receive the ECM based on the URL, and
- wherein the CAS information includes CAS data generated in a different format for each of a plurality of broadcasting business operators.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for performing a method comprising:
- receiving, by a broadcast receiving apparatus, a broadcast stream that comprises content encrypted based on a conditional access system (CAS) from a broadcast providing apparatus;
- extracting, by the broadcast receiving apparatus, from the received broadcast stream, CAS information for decrypting the encrypted content, wherein the CAS information includes identification information for identifying at least one of a plurality of CASs;
- generating a uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to the identification information;
- receiving, by the broadcast receiving apparatus, an entitlement control message (ECM) having a preset format based on the CAS information from an external electronic apparatus being different from the broadcast providing apparatus;
- and
- displaying, by the broadcast receiving apparatus, the content decrypted based on the ECM,
- wherein the receiving of the ECM comprises receiving the ECM based on the URL, and
- wherein the CAS information includes CAS data generated in a different format for each of a plurality of broadcasting business operators.
