Abstract
An apparatus and a method for providing a Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) service using a digital TeleVision (TV) and an external device are provided. It is determined whether a received broadcast channel supports a Multi Mode Service (MMS), and if so, one of subchannels included in the broadcast channel is set to a main channel. The digital TV reproduces a broadcast signal via the main channel, and broadcast signals of subchannels excluding the main channel are transmitted to at least one external device in communication with the digital TV.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- selecting, at a first device, a first subset of a plurality of portions included in a signal, each of the plurality of portions corresponding to multimedia data;
- presenting the multimedia data corresponding to at least one of the first subset via the first device;
- and
- transmitting at least one of a second subset of the plurality of portions to a second device such that the multimedia data corresponding to the at least one of the second subset can be presented via the second device.
An apparatus comprising:
- a signal processor to select a first subset of a plurality of portions included in a signal, each of the plurality of portions corresponding to multimedia data, and to present the multimedia data corresponding to at least one of the first subset ;
- and
- an interface controller to transmit at least one of a second subset of the plurality of portions to a device external to the apparatus such that the multimedia data corresponding to the at least one of the second subset can be provided via the device.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- selecting, at a first device, a first subset of a plurality of portions included in a signal, each of the plurality of portions corresponding to multimedia data;
- presenting the multimedia data corresponding to at least one of the first subset via the first device;
- and
- transmitting at least one of a second subset of the plurality of portions to a second device such that the multimedia data corresponding to the at least one of the second subset can be presented via the second device.
