  • According to rapid development of communication and video compression technology, the video contents are easily disseminated into various areas. In order to prevent illegal distribution of video contents, the necessity of video contents protection technology is increased. In this paper, we propose the video encryption and decryption algorithm based on logistic map and design the prototype system in real-time embedded environment. The sender system with encryption capability is implemented on DM642 EVM target board and the receiver system with decryption capability is implemented in satellite D-STB. Experimental results show that the time change ratio of encoding process on target board are less than 0.97% and the time change ratio of the decoding process on D-STB is less than 1.75%. So, we verify that the proposed encryption/decryption system can be used in real time application.

  • Companies almost don't use an integrated control system using expensive network system in multimedia like TV and DID, despite IP-Broadcasting and communication equipment have expanded rapidly. The proposed integrated TCU(terminal control unit) is a control device that supports TV power On/Off check and remote control, power control reservation function, TV channel change, a variety of interface supports of input/output AC power & Lan port, RS-232C and IR using existing IP network after there is installed the Wake-on -Lan in the set-top box. The TCU can control and monitor 24 hours unlike existing low-cost control system RF method. In existing control equipment markets without expandability and low price, the TCU development including 24 hours monitoring and automatic control functions is expected to secure a wide range of companies.

  • With the emergence of digital TV broadcasting, various channels are provided to a TV audience. But it is getting hard for the audience to find his or her preferred TV programs due to the huge number of TV channels. In order to mitigate the difficulty, TV broadcasting companies provide an electronic program guide (EPG), which is a digital guide to scheduled broadcast TV programs. However, it results in the information overload problem and the time-consuming problem since the number of TV channels and programs is gradually on the increase. In this paper, we design and develop a channel filtering system, which recommends a small number of channels by filtering TV channels based on the watching pattern of the TV audience. The channel filtering system does not require the replacement or upgrade of existing TV or set-top box. In addition, it increases usability by skipping the channels that broadcast the audience's non-preferred TV programs while the TV audience presses the channel up/down button.

  • IPTV(Internet Protocol Television) is an emerging technology in which telecommunication and broadcasting technologies are converged. IPTV service providers usually multicast scrambled contents. And only legitimate subscribers who pass the access control can de-scramble and use the contents. In order to ensure revenues, providers oftentimes employ password-based authentication protocols that ensure secure authentication processes between set-top box and smart card. In this paper, we propose a fingerprint-based 1-out-of-n authentication protocol which provides convenient and more secure authentication process in some organizational environments. The proposed scheme shows that only those who provide legitimate fingerprint information can be authenticated even in a situation that both password and smart card are compromised.

  • 현재 디지털방송 서비스가 확대되고 있는 시점에서 방송콘텐츠 보호에 대한 중요성이 날로 부각되고 있다. 이에 MPEG-2 IPMP는 디지털방송 서비스를 제공받아 소비하는 방송 단말로부터 방송콘텐츠를 불법적으로 사용할 수 없도록 보호할 수 있게 정의하고 있는 대표적인 국제 표준 규격이다. IPMP 규격을 기반으로 한 방송 단말을 구현함에 있어 보호된 방송콘텐츠를 IPMP 툴로 처리하여 소비하게 되는데 만약 방송 단말에 IPMP 툴이 없다면 방송되고 있는 MPEG-2 전송스트림이나 원격지에서 필요한 IPMP 툴을 다운로드 받아 방송 단말에 업데이트를 시켜야 한다. 이때 방송 단말에서 위와 같은 기능이 구현되기 위해서는 구체적인 소프트웨어 설계 방식을 통해 다양한 플랫폼에 대해 구현된 기능에 대한 재사용성이나 호환성을 확보하는 것이 효율적이다. 하지만 점차적으로 복잡해지고 다양해지는 멀티미디어 기기들의 기능들을 위해 탑재되는 소프트웨어 역시 복잡해지고 있어 그 재사용성이나 호환성이 떨어지고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 소프트웨어의 재사용성이나 호환성을 최대한 보장할 수 있도록 현재 MPEG(ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG11)에서 표준화가 진행 중인 MPEG Multimedia Middleware(M3W) 규격을 기반으로 한 소프트웨어 설계 방식을 살펴보고, 디지털방송 단말에서 IPMP 툴 업데이트 기능이 효율적으로 설계되고 구현될 수 있는 소프트웨어 구조를 제안하였다.

  • 최근 인터넷에서 많은 관심을 보이고 있는 개인 미디어(UCC;User Created, Contents, VC2;Viewer Created Contents, 이하 UCC-사용자가 직접 제작한 미디어 콘텐츠를 불특정 다수에게 제공하는 서비스) 중에 비디오/오디오 콘텐츠를 영상 콘텐츠의 기본적인 매체라 할 수 있는 TV상에서 직접 즐길 수 있다면 미디어의 대상과 그 미디어의 Entertainment적인 효과는 배가될 것이다. 디지털 케이블 방송에서 UCC와 같은 다양하고 많은 미디어 콘텐츠를 디지털 TV상에서 서비스를 하고자 한다면 현재의 OCAP(OpenCable Application Plat form)기반에서는 RVOD(Real Video on Demand)와 동일한 서비스 모델을 가져야 하는 부담과 UCC 제공을 위한 방송 플랫폼별 인터페이스가 필요할 것이다. 이러한 문제점을 Return Path를 통한 RTP(Real-time Transport Protocol;RFC1889)을 이용해서 기존의 VoD(Video on Demand)스트림의 대역에서 분리하고 별도의 VOD프로토콜을 구현함으로써 라이브 방송환경과 동일한 인프라의 지속적인 확장보다는 일반적인 네트워크 프로토콜을 이용하여 VoD서비스를 위한 인프라에 많은 영향을 받지 않는 서비스가 가능할 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 RTP를 위한 Set-Top-Box상의 다운로드 가능한 구조의 클래스 분석과 클라이언트 대응의 UCC Transcoding 및 전송을 위한 스트리밍 서버의 설계에 중점을 두고 경량화 된 VOD서비스 및 시스템을 설계함으로써 방송환경 하에 On-Demand서비스의 효율적인 확장성과 보다 많은 콘텐츠 등록 및 활용의 기회를 가져올 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

  • Wi-Fi Direct standard technology has been widely deployed on the recently manufactured products such as smart phone, smart monitor, TV, set-top box, and gaming console, and it was published from Wi-Fi Alliance with the name of Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer Technical Specifications (v1.4, 2014) for direct connection on the wireless communication environment. However, the connection process of this standard needs 5 to 10 seconds so it can lead to user's inconvenience as well as long delay for connection. From the focus of that this problem was derived from long discovery process composed of Scan and Find, as a result, the proposed scheme on this paper modified and adapted Scan and Find processes with reassembling steps of them for reducing the connection delay. In addition, the analysis and experiments were progressed for the evaluations of the proposed scheme.

  • Handling mixed workload in digital set-top box or streaming server becomes an important issue as integrated file system gets momentum as the choice for the next generation file system. The next generation file system is required to handle real-time audio/video playback while being able to handle text requests such as web page, image file, etc. Legacy file system provides only best effort I/O service and thus cannot properly support the QoS of soft real-time I/O. In this paper, we would like to present our experience in developing the file system which fan guarantee the QoS of multimedia stream. We classify all application I/O requests into two category: periodic I/O and sporadic I/O. The QoS requirement of multimedia stream could be guaranteed by giving a higher priority to periodic requests than sporadic requests. The proto-type file system(Qosfs) is developed on Linux Operating System.

  • In terrestrial data broadcasting, we are just on the beginning stage in all aspects including implementation and design techniques and only asynchronous data processing has been receiving a little study. In this paper, we therefore propose an efficient processing algorithm for synchronization of asynchronous data by using trigger information to make more diverse service possible with a variety of contents. In the proposed algorithm, trigger data is encapsulated in DSM-CC section and transmitted in a form of MPEG-2 TS. The data is then separated in PC type set-top box and detached asynchronous data and trigger data are stored by the proposed algorithm. Pre-loaded asynchronous data is displayed when STC(system time clock) has the same value as PTS(presentation time stamp). Proper operation of the proposed algorithm was verified by using a content of asynchronous data with extensible markup language(XML) and a declarative application(DA) browser.
