  • In this study, we attempt to propose a choice-based diffusion model with switching cost, which can be used to forecast the dynamic substitution and competition among previous and new products at both individual-level and aggregate level, especially when market data for new products is insufficient. Additionally, we apply the proposed model to the empirical case of substitution and competition among Analog Cable TV that represents previous fixed charged broadcasting service and Digital Cable TV and Internet Protocol TV (IPTV) that are new ones, verify the validities of our proposed model, and finally derive related empirical implications. For empirical application, we obtained data from survey conducted as follows. Survey was administered by Dongseo Research to 1,000 adults aging from 20 to 60 living in Seoul, Korea, in May of 2007, under the title of 'Demand analysis of next generation fixed interactive broadcasting services'. Conjoint survey modified as follows, was used. First, as the traditional approach in conjoint analysis, we extracted 16 hypothetical alternative cards from the orthogonal design using important attributes and levels of next generation interactive broadcasting services which were determined by previous literature review and experts' comments. Again, we divided 16 conjoint cards into 4 groups, and thus composed 4 choice sets with 4 alternatives each. Therefore, each respondent faces 4 different hypothetical choice situations. In addition to this, we added two ways of modification. First, we asked the respondents to include the status-quo broadcasting services they subscribe to, as another alternative in each choice set. As a result, respondents choose the most preferred alternative among 5 alternatives consisting of 1 alternative with current subscription and 4 hypothetical alternatives in 4 choice sets. Modification of traditional conjoint survey in this way enabled us to estimate the factors related to switching cost or switching threshold in addition to the effects of attributes. Also, by using both revealed preference data(1 alternative with current subscription) and stated preference data (4 hypothetical alternatives), additional advantages in terms of the estimation properties and more conservative and realistic forecast, can be achieved. Second, we asked the respondents to choose the most preferred alternative while considering their expected adoption timing or switching timing. Respondents are asked to report their expected adoption or switching timing among 14 half-year points after the introduction of next generation broadcasting services. As a result, for each respondent, 14 observations with 5 alternatives for each period, are obtained, which results in panel-type data. Finally, this panel-type data consisting of $4{\ast}14{\ast}1000=56000$observations is used for estimation of the individual-level consumer adoption model. From the results obtained by empirical application, in case of forecasting the demand of new products without considering existence of previous product(s) and(or) switching cost factors, it is found that overestimated speed of diffusion at introductory stage or distorted predictions can be obtained, and as such, validities of our proposed model in which both existence of previous products and switching cost factors are properly considered, are verified. Also, it is found that proposed model can produce flexible patterns of market evolution depending on the degree of the effects of consumer preferences for the attributes of the alternatives on individual-level state transition, rather than following S-shaped curve assumed a priori. Empirically, it is found that in various scenarios with diverse combinations of prices, IPTV is more likely to take advantageous positions over Digital Cable TV in obtaining subscribers. Meanwhile, despite inferiorities in many technological attributes, Analog Cable TV, which is regarded as previous product in our analysis, is likely to be substituted by new services gradually rather than abruptly thanks to the advantage in low service charge and existence of high switching cost in fixed charged broadcasting service market.

  • Recently, the strategy for N-screen service is in the spotlight along with the consumer's need to use contents regardless of time and place due to the rapid development of communication technology, which is meshing with the desire of service providers seeking a new business model. N-screen, as a screen-extension-concept service which enables consumers to continuously share and use contents in various equipments such as TV, computer and portable terminals, is an advanced type of 3-screen service strategy initially proposed by AT&T, an American telecommunication company. In the N-screen service for pay-contents, in order to support continuous screen changes to and from various equipments, temporary watching right should be given to the equipment intended for screen change. However, it is impossible to give the temporary watching right in the present broadcasting environment, adopting an access-control system. In this paper, the access-control technology being used for pay-contents in the present broadcasting environment and the reason for not being able to give temporary watching right, will be examined. After the examination, the solution for delegation of watching right by using an additional key on the basis of currently used access-control technology, will be proposed.

  • This study identifies the concept of a digital convergence paradigm, which deals with the relationship among convergence and consumer participation, digital contents services, and the culture of consumption (web 2.0). This research was conducted using a quantitative method involving focus group interviews (FGI) and literature reviews. This research examines the relationship between convergence and consumer participation and the adoption of a concept of "convergence culture", which is categorized as "collective intelligence" and "intellectual community participation". The role of the consumer has changed from one of a "consuming consumer" to that of a "collaborating consumer" and finally to the concept of a consumers as the originator of a new consumption culture. In the study, the consumption culture of web participants indicated the characteristics of funology, self-expression, life-catching, quick-tempered, immersion(arousal), sharing culture, multitasking, and cyber justice. The recognition level of networking on the "digital convergence" of the consumer was identified as that of the combination of IT(information technology); product and multi-services or alliance of industry groups(telecom, broadband, IPTV service); or the use of one source with multiple devices.

  • The progression of broadcasting technology changed the previous analogue broadcasting system into digital, which in result allowed several broadcasting programs to be transmitted as one stream by multiplexing. This multi channel environment interferes with audience to choose the program they want. EPG acts as supporter in this multi channel environment. The existing EPG system is limited in providing searching function with title, genre, date and Wish-list in multi-media environment. Thus, this thesis proposes new type EPG using PSIP information modification to respond with the change of broadcasting market. This type of EPG can be applied to several kinds of broadcasting systems.

  • Forensic Marking is the technology that enables the service providers (SP) to identify the illegal digital contents distributors by first inserting markings (data indicating the user information and playback time) in realtime into the digital contents at time of playback of digital contents, and then later by extracting inserted markings from the contents which are illegally captured from the multimedia device such as IPTV STBs and distributed over the Internet. Digital Rights Management (DRM), which is a very popular content protection technology, has the security hole that can be vulnerable because the encrypted digital contents are transformed into their original plaintext forms after the decrypting process on the STBs. Therefore Forensic Marking (FM) has now become a companion content protection solution to DRM. This article describes a new way of tracking up to 4 illegal content users in FM implementation using the blue-difference chroma component of YCbCr color space. This FM technology has many advantages like fast processing time and easy portability to STB devices compared to that of the traditional watermarking processing in the frequency domain.

  • 최근 인터넷 기술의 발전과 폭발적인 인기를 누리고 있는 스마트폰 등의 인프라요소의 발전으로 인해 방송 및 통신 서비스의 융합된 형태인 IPTV, 스마트 TV 등의 새로운 형태의 서비스가 도입되어 시장을 형성하고 있다. 이러한 새로운 형태의 서비스는 기존 몇몇의 콘텐츠 제공자가 제공하는 서비스 뿐만아니라, 자신들이 만들 콘텐츠를 이용하고자하는 프로슈머들의 욕구 또한 충족시켜주어야 한다. 이러한 서비스 시장의 변화는 기존 폐쇄적인 서비스 운영형태를 가지고 있던 사업자들의 개방화 정책을 유도하고 있다. 우리나라의 서비스 사업자들오 이러한 서비스변화에 말맞추어 개방화 전략을 앞다투어 발표하고, 새로운 형태의 서비스를 통한 시장 점유율 향상을 위해 노력하고 있다. 하지만, 개방화된 서비스 형태는 자칫 새로운 보안문제를 야기할 수 있고, 이로 인해 새로운 서비스 조기정착과 서비스 시장확대라는 목적을 저해시킬 수 있다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 방송융합서비스의 개방화 정책에 따른 새로운 서비스 형태를 알아보고, 신규서비스에 내재되어 있는 보안위협을 도출, 이에 대한 대응방안을 제시하고자 한다. 이러한 대응방안은 신규 융합서비스 안정적 도입 및 확산을 위한 기반이 될 수 있을 것이다.

  • IPTV 방송에서 인터넷 기반 멀티캐스트는 일대다 또는 다대다 통신을 위한 차세대 중요한 서비스로 주목 받고 있다. 멀티캐스트는 네트워크 또는 애플리케이션 레벨에서 서비스할 수 있다. IP 멀티캐스트는 소스노드에서 라우터로 데이터그램을 보내면 라우터가 이를 복제하여 수신노드들에게 전달해 주는 네트워크레벨 서비스로 네트워크 자원을 효율적 사용할 수 있다. 그러나 네트워크에 IP 멀티캐스트 라우터가 설치되어야 하는 등 여러 문제로 인해 널리 사용되지 못하고 있다. 따라서 대안으로 애플리케이션 레벨에서의 오버레이 멀티캐스트가 주목 받고 있다. 오버레이 멀티캐스트는 종단호스트가 라우터처럼 동작하는 것으로 비록 IP 멀티캐스트에 비해서 링크 사용율과 지연 값이 높아질 수 있지만, IP 멀티캐스트의 현실적인 적용의 어려움을 해결할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 IP 멀티캐스트가 제공되지 않는 네트워크에서 효율적인 SVC(Scalable Video Coding) 멀티미디어 방송서비스와 SSENS(SVC Stream Exchange Network Server) 라우팅을 위한 MST(Minimum Spanning tree)를 목적으로 하는 오버레이 멀티캐스트 트리를 구현하는 알고리즘을 설계한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능 분석을 위해 시뮬레이션을 통해 패킷 손실 측면에서 Prim 알고리즘에 비해 평균 패킷 손실율이 40% 가까이 향상됨을 증명하였다.
