US 2010/0245035 A1 · ELECTRONIC TAG BROADCASTING SYSTEM AND BROADCASTING METHOD USING ELECTRONIC TAG

Abstract

An electronic tag broadcasting system and a broadcasting method using an electronic tag are provided. The electronic tag broadcasting system makes it possible to include information on photographed objects in a broadcasting signal, greatly change the combination of information by means of conventional manual operations, increase benefits of bi-directional broadcasting and the combination of broadcasting/communication by using recognition information included in broadcasting contents, and create a lot of new products and a large market. Popularity of broadcasting increases usage of electronic tags and their related application, thereby providing various service convergence that combines RFID, USN, communication, broadcasting, etc. and leading to a convenient ubiquitous society.

Dependent claims

An electronic tag broadcasting system, comprising:

an electronic tag comprising a recognition number and, when sensing a signal having a predetermined frequency band, transmitting the recognition number;
a reader outputting the signal having the predetermined frequency band and reading data from the electronic tag that responds to the signal so as to read information stored in the electronic tag corresponding to an object included in a screen obtained by photographing the object and its surroundings;
and
a broadcasting signal generator combining the photographed image and an audio signal with the electronic tag's own recognition number and the data read from the reader, multiplexing the combined information, and generating a broadcasting signal.

An electronic tag broadcasting system that receives a broadcasting signal obtained by encoding a recognition number of an electronic tag neighboring a photographing object and electronic tag related data which is information on the photographing object stored in the electronic tag along with a photographing image and an audio signal, multiplexing the encoded data, and transmitting the multiplexed data, the broadcasting system comprising:

a demultiplexer receiving the multiplexed broadcasting signal and demultiplexing the received broadcasting signal into an image, an audio signal, and electronic tag-related data;
and
a reproducer reproducing the demultiplexed image and audio signal and simultaneously displaying information on the photographed object on a reproduction screen according to the electronic tag's recognition number.

A broadcasting method of recognizing an electronic tag that comprises a recognition number, previously stores information on an object neighboring the electronic tag, and, when sensing a signal having a predetermined frequency band, transmitting the electronic tag's recognition number and the information on the object neighboring the electronic tag, the method comprising:

(a) outputting the signal having the predetermined frequency band so as to read information stored in the electronic tag corresponding to an object included in a screen obtained by photographing the object neighboring the electronic tag;
(b) receiving electronic tag related data from the electronic tag in response to the signal having the predetermined frequency band;
(c) combining the photographed image and an audio signal with the electronic tag's own recognition number and the electronic tag related data received in operation (b), multiplexing the combined information, and generating a broadcasting signal;
(d) transmitting the generated broadcasting signal via a communication network including a satellite, a ground wave, a CCTV, DMB, a mobile communication network, and an Internet network;
(e) receiving the transmitted broadcasting signal and demultiplexing the received signal into an image, an audio signal, and electronic tag-related data;
and
(f) reproducing the demultiplexed image and audio signal and simultaneously displaying information on the photographed object on a reproduction screen according to the electronic tag's own recognition number.
