Through numerous mobile device technology advances, various multimedia contents is moving towards mobile devices from existing personal computer (PC). These paradigm has emerged taking into account these idea, the so-called N-Screen, N-Screen is user-centric service to provide running and sharing on everywhere via advanced smart system in C-P-N-T (Content, Platform, Network, Terminal). Therefore we must provide securing of various contents, openended platform, and user-centric service for efficient N-Screen service. For These characteristic of N-Screen, this paper propose design and implementation of user location-based N-Screen service system. The proposed system realize user location through user's smart phone and offer automatic streaming service to user. And also, we provide web service-based extended N-Screen service. Thus, user can access various device, such as laptop, tablet, and mobile device.

N-screen is an emerging technology to support multimedia multicasting, content sharing and content mobility. N-screen service providers should obtain the technology that provides the highest quality content seamlessly. Distributed nature of WiMedia distributed-MAC protocol can provide full mobility support, and achieves seamless medium access method in contrast to IEEE 802.15.3. So, in this paper, WiMedia distributed-MAC protocol is adopted and an asynchronous multicast transmission (AMT) technology is proposed to enhance performance of seamless N-screen wireless service based on distributed-MAC. The ACK frame transmissions are not required for multicast transmissions. By using this property in AMT, if a device is a multicast receiver, its reserved time slots can be reserved by the other devices with 1-hop distance. Furthermore, each N-screen device broadcasts and shares the information including an order in asynchronous traffic reservations to reduce conflicts in determining the transmission order of asynchronous N-screen packets. Therefore, AMT scheme expands the number of time slots available and throughputs for multicast and asynchronous traffic reservations when comparing with the distributed-MAC standard system. N-screen communications based on distributed-MAC with the proposed AMT shows a new framework for realizing N-screen wireless service with the full content mobility.

N-Screen Service는 하나의 Content를 다양한 Device에서 사용가능하게 해주는 Service를 의미한다. 현재 N-Screen Service는 Content Service 형태로 봤을 때 OSMU(One Source Multi Use) Service를 제공한다. ASMU(Adaptive Source Multi Device) N-Screen Service의 조건으로 Device에 최적화된 Content를 제공하여야 한다. 이를 위해서는 Device에 최적화된 Content의 변환 및 Metadata의 이동이 자유로워야 한다. 본 논문에서는 ASMD를 지원하는 N-Screen Model을 제안한다. 특히 Home Network와 Cloud 사이의 Devicerks Content Metadata 이동과 Content 변환에 대한 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

N-screen is a promising technology to improve support for multimedia multicasting, content sharing, content mobility, media scalability, and seamless mobility. In this paper, the WiMedia distributed-MAC (D-MAC) protocol is adopted for development of a seamless N-screen wireless service. Furthermore, to provide a multi-hop, one source multi-use N-screen service through point to point streaming in a seamless D-MAC protocol, a dynamic multi-frame transmission technology is proposed. In this technology, a dynamic time slot allocation scheme and a multi-hop resource reservation scheme are combined. In the proposed dynamic time slot allocation scheme, two thresholds, a hard threshold and a soft threshold, are included to satisfy the power consumption and delay requirements. A multi-frame DRP reservation scheme is proposed to minimize end-to-end delay during the multi-hop transmissions between N-screen devices. The proposed dynamic multi-frame transmission scheme enhances N-screen performance in terms of the multi-hop link establishment success rate and link establishment time compared to the conventional WiMedia D-MAC system.

In this paper, a Wireless USB (WUSB) protocol is adopted for development of ASMD (Adaptive Source Multi Device) N-screen wireless services. WUSB is the USB technology merged with WiMedia PHY and Distributed-MAC (D-MAC). However, the current WUSB protocol can't provide seamless N-screen streaming services to moving WUSB devices in home network environment. Therefore, to provide the ASMD N-screen services through WUSB based on D-MAC protocol, a channel management scheme is proposed to support seamless mobility between adjacent ASMD groups for wireless IPTV N-screen services. In simulation results, proposed ASMD channel management (ACM) scheme is compared with conventional WUSB channel management scheme in view points of throughput, average path interference and energy consumption according to various numbers of nodes and elapsed simulation times. Through simulation results, it is explained that proposed ASMD channel management (ACM) scheme should be adopted in the WUSB protocol to realize ASMD N-screen wireless services.

N-screen 은 여러 단말을 통한 콘텐츠 소비형 서비스로써 이용자 환경과 요구사항에 반응하여 연속성을 가지고 이용자가 원하는 단말을 통해 제공될 수 있다. 자신이 가지고 있는 다양한 단말만 아니라 인증을 거친 다른 사용자가 가진 단말에도 N-screen 을 제공할 수 있다. 서로 다른 서비스 이용자 간 N-screen 을 제공하기 위한 플랫폼으로써 웹 플랫폼을 이용할 수 있다. 웹은 N-screen 을 제공하기 위해 가장 우선시 되는 요구사항인 플랫폼의 통합을 이끌어 낼 수 있으며 서비스 플랫폼과 협업을 통해 서비스 이용자의 요구사항을 만족시키고 동시에 Community 융합을 통해 전혀 새로운 서비스로 제공될 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 웹 기반 N-screen 환경에서 Community 서비스 제공을 위한 서비스 제어기능 모델을 제안하고 그에 따른 서비스 시나리오를 설명한다.

In this paper, we propose the architecture and user interaction mechanism to implement N-Screen services on Multi-Vision System (MVS) that are not supported in existing systems. N-Screen services enable users to control the MVS displays through any of their devices and share contents among MVS displays and user's active-devices with service continuation at any location. We provide N-Screen interactive services on MVS by introducing N-Screen interaction & session management server and agent. Furthermore, we present some examples of the protocols such as application launching, user interaction for service control and visualcasting to support N-Screen services. In addition, we explain the N-Screen service scenarios for providing split sessions on user's active-devices and launching metadata content on any of his devices at any location supported by these protocols. The simulation result demonstrates the feasibility and performance improvement of the proposed visualcasting mechanisms.

This paper intends to suggest methods to design and implement a jQuery mobile based system in a future mobile webapp environment through a study on an N-Screen application in a mobile webapp. N-Screen is one of the representative services of cloud computing. It is promoted by the need of users to require universal functions for all devices. However, this situation is in conflict with the users' need to have the same experience and N-Screen cannot deal with these disparate services. Thus, this study intends to suggest a system analysis, structure of design, and a framework by implementing the N-Screen based movie reservation system in the jQuery mobile environment.

본 논문은 HTTP protocol을 이용한 미디어 Streaming 서비스 표준인 MPEG-DASH(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP)를 기반으로 한 N-Screen 서비스 동기화 방안을 제시한다. N-Screen 서비스란 다수의 미디어 Device를 이용하여 하나의 콘텐츠들을 공유 및 전송하는 서비스를 뜻한다. 이는 MPEG-DASH 표준 기술을 활용함으로써 보다 효율적인 서비스 이용이 가능하다. DASH는 다수의 품질의 같은 영상들을 시간별로 분할하여 Server에서 보유하여 한 Device에게 네트워크 환경에 맞춰 가장 적합한 Segment들을 전달 및 전환함으로써 끊기지않는 Streaming 서비스가 가능하다. 하지만 현재 MPEG-DASH 표준기술에서는 N-Screen 서비스에 대한 활용방안 시나리오가 재정되어 있지 않아 다수의 Device에서 Segment를 끊김없는 Media Streaming 서비스를 지원하기 위한 방안이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 한 Device가 다른 Device에게 N-screen을 위한 동기화 정보를 전송함으로써 특정 콘텐츠가 끊기지 않고 연이어 볼 수 있는 동기화를 이룰 수 있는 방안을 대한 서비스 시나리오를 제시한다.
