Abstract
Provided are method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving broadcasting content. The method of transmitting broadcasting content includes generating metadata including at least one of information about an acquisition route of at least one additional content related to the broadcasting content and information about a target device to use the at least one additional content and transmitting the metadata and a broadcasting signal including the broadcasting content.
Claims30
A method of transmitting broadcasting content, the method comprising:
- generating metadata that comprises information about an acquisition route of an additional content related to the broadcasting content and type information of the additional content;
- and
- transmitting the metadata and a broadcasting signal comprising the broadcasting content,
- wherein the broadcasting content is transmitted to a television (TV) receiver, and the additional content is transmitted to a target device which is different from the TV receiver based on the type information of the additional content, and
- wherein the target device is determined by an input of a user among at least two devices configured to reproduce the additional content.
A method of receiving broadcasting content, the method comprising:
- receiving metadata and a broadcasting signal comprising the broadcasting content, the metadata comprising information about an acquisition route of additional content related to the broadcasting content and type information of the additional content;
- and
- acquiring the additional content based on the information about an acquisition route,
- wherein the broadcasting content is transmitted to a television (TV) receiver, and the additional content is transmitted to a target device which is different from the TV receiver based on the type information of the additional content, and
- wherein the target device is determined by an input of a user among at least two devices configured to reproduce the additional content.
An apparatus for transmitting broadcasting content, the apparatus comprising:
- a metadata generator which generates metadata comprising information about an additional content related to the broadcasting content and type information of the additional content;
- and
- a transmitter which transmits the metadata and a broadcasting signal comprising the broadcasting content,
- wherein the broadcasting content is transmitted to a television (TV) receiver, and the additional content is transmitted to a target device which is different from the TV receiver based on the type information of the additional content, and
- wherein the target device is determined by an input of a user among at least two devices configured to reproduce the additional content.
An apparatus for receiving broadcasting content, the apparatus comprising:
- a receiver which receives metadata and a broadcasting signal comprising the broadcasting content, the metadata comprising information about an acquisition route of additional content related to the broadcasting content and type information of the additional content;
- and
- a content acquirer which acquires the additional content based on the information about an acquisition route,
- wherein the broadcasting content is transmitted to a television (TV) receiver, and the additional content is transmitted to a target device which is different from the TV receiver based on the type information of the additional content, and
- wherein the target device is determined by an input of a user among at least two devices configured to reproduce the additional content.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing a method comprising:
- generating metadata that comprises information about an acquisition route of an additional content related to broadcasting content and type information of the additional content;
- and
- transmitting the metadata and a broadcasting signal comprising the broadcasting content,
- wherein the broadcast content is transmitted to a television (TV) receiver, and the additional content is transmitted to a target device which is different from the TV receiver based on the type information of the additional content, and
- wherein the target device is determined by an input of a user among at least two devices configured to reproduce the additional content.
