동영상 실시간 스트리밍 (Live Streaming)이란 텔레비전 생방송처럼 촬영한 정보를 실시간으로 사용자의 동영상 플레이어로 보내 재생하도록 하는 방식을 말한다. 비디오와 오디오를 실시간으로 인코딩하여 많은 사용자들이 동시에 시청하기 위해서는 RTMP (Real Time Messaging Protocol), HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) 등 실시간 스트리밍을 지원하는 프로토콜이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 스트리밍을 제공하는 국내 6개 OTT (Over the Top) 업체의 어플리케이션을 대상으로 패킷 캡처를 통해 어플리케이션들의 패킷을 분석하였다. 채널 목록을 암호화하지 않거나, 유료채널에 적합하지 않은 프로토콜을 사용함으로써 유료채널을 무료로 시청할 수 있다는 취약점을 밝히고자 한다.

Purpose: Live commerce is a new type of electronic commerce in combination with live streaming services. It is expected to increase virtual presence in the context of online shopping by overcoming a lack of social interactions between sellers and buyers which have been raised as a limitation in electronic commerce. Drawing on the studies of communication media, this study examines how live commerce contributes to the increase of virtual presence which consists of telepresence and social presence. Telepresence refers to a buyer's perception that he or she is present at the physical shopping mall during live shopping streaming whereas social presence refers to a buyer's perception of social interaction with a seller which is human warm, social, sensitive, and personal. In this study, we verify key determinants of virtual presence and its consequences. More specifically, this study proposes virtual presence contributes to the increase of buyers' trust in products and further purchase intentions. Furthermore, we verify influential factors of virtual presence from the technical and influencer perspectives of live commerce. Design/methodology/approach: To test the proposed hypotheses, the partial least squares (PLS) analysis is conducted with a total of 250 data collected on users with experience in the TaoBao live streaming shopping platform. Findings: The results show that first, telepresence and social presence are increased by visibility, media richness and attractiveness in the context of live shopping streaming. Second, buyers' trust in product trust and purchase intentions are positively influenced by telepresence and social presence. Finally, buyers' trust in product has a direct, positve effect on their purchase intentions. Overall, the findings offer new insights into the studies of electronic commerce by introducting the concepts of virtual presence and media richness from the literature of communication media in the field of live commerce.

During the last decade, social live streaming service like Periscope, Ustream, and YouNow has developed from a niche market into a mainstream activity. In this media environment, social live streaming service has a tremendous impact on the social behaviors of users. Despite the rapid development, there are a lack of studies to make better understand the media environment changes through social live streaming service. This study adopted an affordances approach that leads us to identify six distinctive social affordances (visibility, accessibility, information sharing, social interaction, role-taking, interactive revenue) for user engagement in social live streaming service. Specifically, this study explores the impact of social affordances on perceived flow, followed by user engagement including passive and active engagement. Empirical data analysis with 258 questionnaires suggests that social affordances affected users' flow perception, and flow has an effect on active as well as passive engagement. Contrary to the expectation in a hypothesized research model, only the impact of accessibility on flow was rejected.

Recent studies have convinced that network coding can improve the performance of live media streaming in terms of startup delay, resilience to peer dynamics, as well as reduced bandwidth cost on dedicated streaming servers. However, there still exist some strategy drawbacks and neglected problems which need to be further researched. In addition to the commonly used evaluation parameters of the network and user experiences mentioned above, we focus on additional key factors, playback lag and switch lag, which have not been fully explored in previous work. In this paper, we present SonicStream, a novel and fully implemented live peer to peer (P2P) media streaming system with consideration of rich user experiences, including startup delay, playback continuity, playback lag, switch lag, etc. In pursuit of a further enhanced user experience, we revise traditional peer selection/data scheduling methods. Through a series of experimental evaluations and a cautious comparison with the latest similar work $R^2$, the superior performance of SonicStream has been preliminarily verified.

Purpose Live streaming commerce refers to the fact that people receive live audio and live video directly over the net. While some e-retailers use Live Streaming as a marketing strategy, the impact of live streaming commerce on customers' reuse intentions is unknown. The purpose of this study is to discuss the impact of live streaming commerce by external environmental factors based on S-O-R theory. Design/methodology/approach In this study, we developed a research model based on the S-O-R theory. Using the questionnaire survey method, consumers who used live streaming commerce on Taobao.com were taken as research subjects. Our research model aims to find out how content attributes, real-time interactions, media characteristics, and situational characteristics as stimulus factors influence consumers' perceptions and thus reuse intentions. Findings The results of the analysis show that external environmental factors have a significant impact on consumer perceptions and that perceived risks and flows can influence consumers' reuse intentions. In addition, we also examined the impact of reuse intentions on consumers' active participation. These results show that live streaming commerce can influence consumer perceptions and behavior in several ways.

360 VR(Virtual Reality) 비디오와 같이 고품질의 비디오를 기존 케이블 망에서 IPTV 또는 OTT(Over the Top) SettopBox과 같은 저사양 미디어 서비스 기기를 통해 저지연 라이브 스트리밍 서비스를 할 수 있도록 MPEG DASH(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) 기반의 스트리밍 서버를 설계하고 구현하였다. 또한, 서버 응답 지연 시간을 줄이기 위해 스트리밍 영상 파일(MPD, Segment Files)을 메모리상에 캐싱 하여 서비스 할 수 있는 관리 프로세스를 설계하고 적용하였다. 그리고 실험을 통해 bitrate가 50,000kbps 이상이고, 8K@60P 급의 고품질 분할 영상 스트리밍을 지원하는 것을 확인하였다

이 연구는 모바일 라이브 스트리밍 서비스의 불법 유해방송 근절을 목적으로 모바일 라이브 스트리밍 서비스의 특성과 불법 유해정보의 특성을 분석하고 모바일 라이브 스트리밍 서비스상의 불법 유해방송 실태를 고려한 근절 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 1차로 문헌 연구를 통하여 모바일 라이브 스트리밍 서비스와 불법 유해방송에 대해 고찰하고 2차로 모바일 라이브 스트리밍 서비스의 불법 유해방송 실태와 인식 및 대응방안에 대해 설문조사를 진행하였다. 그 결과 모바일 라이브 스트리밍 서비스의 불법 유해방송 노출 빈도가 높으며 불법 유해방송 노출이 사용자의 자의보다 실시간 방송이라는 특성에서 비롯한 원인이 큰 것임을 확인했다. 모바일 라이브 스트리밍 서비스의 불법 유해 정보를 근절하기 위해서는 서비스의 불법 유해방송 자체의 신고체계 정비도 필요하지만 정부의 규제 방안 마련에 대한 요구사항을 확인했다. 향후 미시적인 관점에서 모바일 라이브 스트리밍 서비스의 불법 유해정보 근절에 관해 연구가 필요할 것이다.

In the last few years, a new type of synchronous social networking services (SNSs) has emerged—social live streaming services (SLSSs). Studying SLSSs is a new and exciting research field in information science. What information behaviors do users of live streaming platforms exhibit? In our empirical study we analyzed information production behavior (i.e., broadcasting) as well as information reception behavior (watching streams and commenting on them). We conducted two quantitative investigations, namely an online survey with YouNow users (N = 123) and observations of live streams on YouNow (N = 434). YouNow is a service with video streams mostly made by adolescents for adolescents. YouNow users like to watch streams, to chat while watching, and to reward performers by using emoticons. While broadcasting, there is no anonymity (as in nearly all other WWW services). Synchronous SNSs remind us of the film The Truman Show, as anyone has the chance to consciously broadcast his or her own life real-time.

Adaptive bitrate streaming is a crucial element in the implementation of high-quality streaming of media content over the Internet. Dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH) has lately emerged as the de facto solution for over-the-top (OTT) video streaming services. In this paper, we perform macro-level analysis on a real-world MPEG-DASH-based Internet live broadcasting service to gain insight into its behavior throughout the end-to-end service-provision chain, from broadcasters to viewers. Based on this analysis, we propose methods to improve the quality-of-experience (QoE) of MPEG-DASH-based services, particularly with regard to reducing broadcasting delays between recording and viewing of videos, as well as synchronizing client terminals.
