  • As broadcasting and communication are converged recently, communication is jointed to TV. TV viewing has brought about many changes. The IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) provides information service, movie contents, broadcast, etc. through internet with live programs + VOD (Video on demand) jointed. Using communication network, it becomes an issue of new business. In addition, new technical issues have been created by imaging technology for the service, networking technology without video cuts, security technologies to protect copyright, etc. Through this IPTV network, users can watch their desired programs when they want. However, IPTV has difficulties in search approach, menu approach, or finding programs. Menu approach spends a lot of time in approaching programs desired. Search approach can't be found when title, genre, name of actors, etc. are not known. In addition, inserting letters through remote control have problems. However, the bigger problem is that many times users are not usually ware of the services they use. Thus, to resolve difficulties when selecting VOD service in IPTV, a personalized service is recommended, which enhance users' satisfaction and use your time, efficiently. This paper provides appropriate programs which are fit to individuals not to save time in order to solve IPTV's shortcomings through filtering and recommendation-related system. The proposed recommendation system collects TV program information, the user's preferred program genres and detailed genre, channel, watching program, and information on viewing time based on individual records of watching IPTV. To look for these kinds of similarities, similarities can be compared by using ontology for TV programs. The reason to use these is because the distance of program can be measured by the similarity comparison. TV program ontology we are using is one extracted from TV-Anytime metadata which represents semantic nature. Also, ontology expresses the contents and features in figures. Through world net, vocabulary similarity is determined. All the words described on the programs are expanded into upper and lower classes for word similarity decision. The average of described key words was measured. The criterion of distance calculated ties similar programs through K-medoids dividing method. K-medoids dividing method is a dividing way to divide classified groups into ones with similar characteristics. This K-medoids method sets K-unit representative objects. Here, distance from representative object sets temporary distance and colonize it. Through algorithm, when the initial n-unit objects are tried to be divided into K-units. The optimal object must be found through repeated trials after selecting representative object temporarily. Through this course, similar programs must be colonized. Selecting programs through group analysis, weight should be given to the recommendation. The way to provide weight with recommendation is as the follows. When each group recommends programs, similar programs near representative objects will be recommended to users. The formula to calculate the distance is same as measure similar distance. It will be a basic figure which determines the rankings of recommended programs. Weight is used to calculate the number of watching lists. As the more programs are, the higher weight will be loaded. This is defined as cluster weight. Through this, sub-TV programs which are representative of the groups must be selected. The final TV programs ranks must be determined. However, the group-representative TV programs include errors. Therefore, weights must be added to TV program viewing preference. They must determine the finalranks.Based on this, our customers prefer proposed to recommend contents. So, based on the proposed method this paper suggested, experiment was carried out in controlled environment. Through experiment, the superiority of the proposed method is shown, compared to existing ways.

  • 2012년 지상파 방송은 아날로그 송출을 종료하고 디지털 방송으로 전환된다. 이렇게 전환되는 지상파 디지털 방송은 무료로 누구나 시청할 수 있는 보편적 서비스를 지향하기 때문에, 케이블TV, 위성TV, IPTV 등의 다른 매체와는 달리 기술적 보호조치 없이 방송되고 있다. 또한 DTV 방송프로그램은 원본과 똑같은 화질로 개인이 쉽게 저장할 수 있고 인터넷을 통하여 누구나 쉽게 접근이 가능하기 때문에, DTV 방송프로그램의 무단복제와 인터넷을 통한 불법재배포는 큰 문제점으로 대두되고 있다. 이러한 불법 대량배포는 방송프로그램의 저작권을 심각히 침해할 뿐만 아니라, 방송사의 고품질의 방송프로그램을 제작환경을 더욱 열악하게 만들고 있다. 또한 일반 사용자는 인식하지 못하는 사이에 인터넷을 통해 불법 콘텐츠를 사용하게 되는 악순환에 빠지게 된다. 이에 본 논문은 KBS에서 추진하고 있는 여러 콘텐츠 보호 기술들을 하나의 보호 고리로 연결하는 KBS 보호기술 체계를 소개하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 KBS는 아래의 3가지 보호 기술을 개발하여 체계적으로 연결하여 적용하고 있다. 첫째, 프로그램의 저작권과 배포 정보를 나타내는 프로그램 보호신호(PPI, Program Protection Information)와 워터마크를 방송 신호에 삽입하여 수신기에서의 프로그램 보호를 추진한다, 둘째, 인터넷 OSP(Online Service Provider)와의 제휴를 통하여 콘텐츠 필터링 기술을 도입하여 프로그램 불법 업로드, 다운로드를 방지한다. 셋째, KBS 저작물 인터넷 모니터링 시스템을 개발하여 인터넷 상의 불법 프로그램 배포정보를 획득하여 불법배포가 진행되는 사이트에 보호를 요청한다.

  • This study examines the concept of public interests in pay TV industry and analyzed the regulatory framework of the industry. The concept of public interests such as diversity, localism and quality which are mainly discussed in the context of over the air broadcasting extends to universal access, fair competition and consumer protection as pay TV industry grows. However, there is a lack of concrete implementation of public interests in regulatory framework and coordination of public and industrial interests was not accomplished. Major policy that regulates the pay TV industry carries out without big picture. Policy implementation without long term plan results in hierarchical regulation model and it produced consistency problem. In the process of implementing policy in pay TV industry public interests and industrial interests discussion is mixed and sometimes it played exaggerated role.

  • As accelerates the technical evolution of high-speed network and progresses the digitalization of broadcasting network, TV channel service through satellite/cable/terrestrial networks becomes more stable and mature. However, TV channel service using IP network such as IPTV is recently emerging. Especially, when it comes to current mosaic EPG(Electronic Program Guide) as a channel guide, the implementation of EPG via IP network is under developing. Furthermore, the personal target mosaic EPG is not provided at all in the IPTV. This paper proposes a construction method of mosaic system which can support fixed and personalized mosaic EPG using IP network for viewers. The fixed mosaic EPG is made several steps as follows ; First, H/E generates several mosaic A/V streams. Then, which are transmitted to the STB in terms of multicasting via IP network. Finally, mosaic EPG is displayed on TV through STB. In addition, this paper describes a construction model of the personalized A/V mosaic EPG that represents each person's favorite channels according to their tastes and interests. As for the contributions. The TV channel guide using IP network enable viewer to select channel more easily with practical adaptation of multi-channel expansibility and sufficient usability. In addition, through personal mosaic EPG, a number of viewers can compose their own mosaic EPG and enjoy a variety of channel easily in accordance with their preferences. Finally, the personal mosaic EPG can prohibit non-adult users from connecting adult-only contents more efficiently.
