Abstract

Provided are a video display device and a method of operating the same. The video display device request content recognition configuration information to a third party server that is not dependent on any single channel, and receives the content recognition configuration information from the third party server. The video display device extracts a plurality of content recognition configuration information items from the content recognition configuration information and configures the plurality of content recognition configuration information item in the video display device. The video display device obtains contents information of uncompressed content on the basis of the plurality of content recognition configuration information item, obtains an application on the basis of the content information, and executes the application.

Claims (19)

1. An operating method of a video display device including a display unit, the method comprising:

obtaining, by a receiver, an uncompressed AV content;

extracting, by an enhanced service manager, a signature from frames of the uncompressed AV content or a section of audio samples of the uncompressed AV content;

obtaining, by the enhanced service manager, a timestamp of currently watched frames of the uncompressed AV content based on the signature;

obtaining, by the enhanced service manager, an address of a server, for reporting information on a usage of the video display device, based on the signature; and

obtaining receiving information for an application related to the currently watched frames based on the signature,

wherein the receiving information includes an address of the application, a request period for the application, and an acquisition path of the application;

receiving the application using the receiving information; and

reporting, by the enhanced service manager, the information on the usage of the video display device to the server based on the address of the server, when a size of the information on the usage of the video display device, stored in the video display device, exceeds a criteria for the size,

wherein the information on the usage of the video display device includes an activating time of an application related to the uncompressed AV content.

2. The operating method according to 1 ,

wherein the uncompressed AV content is played by the video display device, and

wherein the reporting of the information on a usage of the video display device comprises reporting the information on the usage of the video display device, when the uncompressed AV content played by the video display device, is viewed for a longer duration than a criteria for a duration of viewing.

3. A video display device comprising:

a display;

a receiver to receive an uncompressed AV content; and

an enhanced service manager to extract a signature from frames of the uncompressed AV content or a section of audio samples of the uncompressed AV content, to obtain a timestamp of currently watched frames of the uncompressed AV content based on the signature, to obtain an address of a server for reporting information on a usage of the video display device based on the signature, to obtain receiving information for an application related to the currently watched frames based on the signature, to receive the application using the receiving information, and to report the information on the usage of the video display device to the server based on the address of the server, when a size of the information on the usage of the video display device, stored in the video display device, exceeds a criteria for the size,

wherein the information on the usage of the video display device includes an activating time of an application related to the uncompressed AV content; and

the receiving information includes an address of the application, a request period of the application, and an acquisition path of the application.
