Abstract

In current digital broadcasting systems, GEM(Globally Executable MHP)-based middlewares such as MHP(Multimedia Home Platform), OCAP(OpenCable Application Platform), ACAP(Advanced Common Application Platform) are the norm. Despite much of the common characteristics shared, such as MPEG-2 and DSM-CC(Digital Storage Media-Command and Control) protocols, the information and data structures they need are slightly different, which results in incompatibility issues. In this paper, in line with an effort to develop an integrated DTV middleware, we propose a general-purpose, reconfigurable DSM-CC architecture for supporting various standard GEM-based middlewares without code modifications. First, we identify DSM-CC components that are common and thus can be shared by all GEM-based middlewares. Next, the system is provided with middleware-specific information and data structures in the form of XML. Since the XML information can be parsed dynamically at run time, it can be interchanged either statically or dynamically for a specific target middleware. As for the performance issues, the response time and usage frequency of DSM-CC module highly contribute to the performance of STB(Set-Top-Box). In this paper, we also propose an efficient application cache management strategy and evaluate its performance. The performance result has shown that the cache strategy reflecting user preferences greatly helps to reduce response time for executing application.

GEM(Globally Executable MHP) 기반의 MHP(Multimedia Home Platform), OCAP(OpenCable Application Platform), ACAP(Advanced Common Application Platform) 등은 현재 디지털 방송의 대표적인 미들웨어이다. 이러한 미들웨어에 사용된 MPEG-2와 DSM-CC(Digital Storage Media-Command and Control) 프로토콜 표준은 많은 부분이 유사하다는 특징을 가지고 있지만 각 DTV 미들웨어가 필요로 하는 정보와 데이터 구조가 조금씩 차이가 있다. 이는 결과적으로 미들웨어간의 비호환성을 야기한다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 미들웨어 표준을 모두 지원할 수 있는 통합 DTV 미들웨어를 개발하기 위한 노력의 일환으로써, 재구성이 가능한 범용 DSM-CC 아키텍처를 제안한다. 첫째, 모든 GEM 기반의 미들웨어가 공통적으로 필요로 하는 DSM-CC 컴포넌트를 정의하였다. 둘째, 각 미들웨어가 필요로 하는 정보와 데이터 구조를 XML 형태로 정의하여 별도의 수정 없이 정적, 혹은 동적으로 특정 미들웨어에 맞추어 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한, 셋탑박스의 전체적인 성능과 연관성이 높은 어플리케이션 응답시간과 DSM-CC 모듈의 사용빈도를 향상시키기 위해 사용자의 선호도를 고려한 캐시 관리 전략을 제안하고, 제안된 캐시 관리 전략이 응답시간을 줄이는데 효과적임을 실험을 통해서 확인하였다.
