Abstract
A method of processing data in an IPTV receiver and such an IPTV receiver are disclosed. The method includes transmitting a request signal for resolution of a content reference identifier (CRID) corresponding to a content, receiving location information including a session initiation protocol-uniform resource identifier (SIP-URI) and a session description protocol-uniform resource locator (SDP-URL), wherein the SIP-URI and the SDP-URL correspond to the CRID, requesting a server corresponding to the SDP-URL to transmit a session description protocol (SDP) file by using the received SDP-URL, and receiving the SDP file from the server.
Claims3
A method of retrieving at least one parameter of a SDP (session description protocol) file prior to a session setup in an open IPTV terminal function (OITF) receiver, the method comprising:
- performing a content reference identifier (CRID) location resolution process of mapping a CRID to either other CRIDs or a location information, wherein the location information provides additional data to retrieve the content;
- retrieving the at least one SDP parameter prior to the session setup, the retrieving comprising:
- firstly requesting by the OITF receiver to an Internet protocol multimedia subsystem Gateway (IG) on a home network interface-IG interface (HNI-IGI) interface, the at least one SDP parameter;
- secondly requesting by the IG to a network, the at least one SDP parameter;
- retrieving, by the IG, the at least one SDP parameter from the network;
- forwarding the at least one SDP parameter from the IG to the OITF receiver;
- and
- performing the process of the session setup after the OITF receiver has retrieved the at least one parameter,
- wherein the location information is defined in a Time And uniform resource locator (URL) Type schema of broadband content guide (BCG) information, and the Time And URL Type schema additionally defines SDP mode attribute information identifying a mode for delivery of the content, and SDP-URL attribute information indicating a URL that provides the content.
An open IPTV terminal function (OITF) receiver of retrieving at least one parameter of a SDP (session description protocol) file prior to a session setup, the OITF receiver comprising:
- a performing unit configured to perform a content reference identifier (CRID) location resolution process of mapping a CRID to either other CRIDs or a location information, wherein the location information provides additional data to retrieve the content;
- a retrieving unit configured to retrieve the at least one SDP parameter prior to the session setup, the retrieving comprising:
- firstly requesting by the OITF receiver to an Internet protocol multimedia subsystem Gateway (IG) on a home network interface-IG interface (HNI-IGI) interface, the at least one SDP parameter;
- secondly requesting by the IG to a network, the at least one SDP parameter;
- retrieving, by the IG, the at least one SDP parameter from the network;
- forwarding the at least one SDP parameter from the IG to the OITF receiver;
- and
- a controlling unit configured to perform the process of the session setup after the OITF receiver has retrieved the at least one SDP parameter,
- wherein the location information is defined in a Time And uniform resource locator (URL) Type schema of broadband content guide (BCG) information, and the Time And URL Type schema additionally defines SDP mode attribute information identifying a mode for delivery of the content, and SDP-URL attribute information indicating a URL that provides the content.
