Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing digital mobile broadcast-related data are disclosed. The method and apparatus store digital mobile broadcast-related data, such as an Electronic Program Guide (EPG), a favorite channel list, etc., in a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM), and update the stored data, such that the digital mobile broadcast-related data can be used by a mobile communication terminal, and even by a mobile communication terminal that has newly replaced another mobile communication terminal.
Claims16
A method for processing digital mobile broadcast-related data of digital mobile broadcasting in a mobile communication terminal using a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM), comprising:
- receiving broadcast data of the digital mobile broadcasting;
- extracting the digital mobile broadcast-related data from the received broadcast data;
- and
- storing the extracted digital mobile broadcast-related data in the USIM.
A method for processing digital mobile broadcast-related data of digital mobile broadcasting in a mobile communication terminal using a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM), comprising:
- determining whether a setting menu for the digital mobile broadcast-related data is executed;
- determining whether specific digital mobile broadcast-related data is set through the setting menu;
- and
- storing the selected specific digital mobile broadcast-related data in the USIM.
A method for processing digital mobile broadcast-related data of digital mobile broadcasting in a mobile communication terminal using a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM), comprising:
- if the mobile communication terminal has booted, determining whether the digital mobile broadcast-related data is stored in the USIM;
- extracting a data creation date and time from the digital mobile broadcast-related data stored in the USIM;
- determining whether a time has elapsed from the data creation date and time;
- receiving broadcast data of the digital mobile broadcasting;
- extracting the digital mobile broadcast-related data from the received broadcast data;
- and
- storing the extracted digital mobile broadcast-related data in the USIM to update the USIM.
An apparatus for processing digital mobile broadcast-related data of digital mobile broadcasting in a mobile communication terminal using a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM), comprising:
- a USIM detector for determining whether the USIM is installed in the mobile communication terminal;
- a broadcast receiver for receiving broadcast data of the digital mobile broadcasting;
- a data processing unit for extracting the digital mobile broadcast-related data from the received broadcast data;
- and
- a controller for storing the extracted digital mobile broadcast-related data in the USIM.
