Abstract

Disclosed is a method for linking MMT media and DASH media. A method for linking MMT media and DASH media comprises the steps of: generating MPD information by extracting an MPD linking information from a home media server, the MPD linking information, which has been transmitted from an MMT transmission server to an MMT, being information comparable to an MPD of DASH for interconnecting DASH and MMT; and transmitting the MPD information to a mobile terminal so that the mobile terminal can replay as DASH media by means of the MPD information.

Claims (33)

1. A method for interoperating MMT(MPEG Multimedia Transport) media and DASH(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) media, comprising steps of:

generating, by a home media server, MPD(Media Presentation Description) information by extracting MPD interoperability information of media transmitted through MMT from a MMT transport server, wherein the MPD interoperability information is information corresponding to a MPD of DASH for interoperability between DASH and MMT; and

sending the MPD information to a portable terminal so that the portable terminal plays back the MMT media as DASH media using the MPD information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MPD interoperability information is linked to a Service Information Configuration Information Table (SICTT) that is a service configuration information table and an MMT Asset Configuration Information Table (MACIT) that is an MMT asset configuration information table which are managed in a MMT S layer (Signalling layer), and stored.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information corresponding to a MPD of DASH is included in at least one of a configuration information, a supplementary information of the MPU(Media Processing Unit) and MFU(Media Fragment Unit), and MMT packet payload of MMT.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the configuration information of MMT includes information that corresponds a period information and a supplementary information of the MPD,

wherein the supplementary information of the MPD includes information about a language, a media component type, viewpoint properties, and multi-view properties.

5. A method for interoperating MMT(MPEG Multimedia Transport) media and DASH(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) media, comprising steps of:

receiving, by a portable terminal, MPD(Media Presentation Description) interoperability information of media transmitted through MMT and extracted by a home media server, wherein the MPD interoperability information is information corresponding to a MPD of DASH for interoperability between DASH and MMT;

generating, by the portable terminal, MPD information using the MPD interoperability information; and

playing back, by the portable terminal, the MMT media as DASH media using the MPD information.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

sending, by the portable terminal, a MPD request to the home media server; or

sending, by the portable terminal, a MPD request for a selected MMT media to the home media server by selecting a MMT media to be played back from MMT media list received from the home media server.

7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

controlling to continue to watch the MMT media from position where the MMT media being watched was stopped, by receiving information about the position where MMT media being watched was stopped, from the home media server.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein playing back, by the portable terminal, the MMT media as DASH media using the MPD information comprising:

sending, by the portable terminal, the MPD information to DASH transport server, requesting the DASH media;

sending, by the DASH transport server, the DASH media to the portable terminal, corresponding the DASH media request and using the MPD information.

9. A method for interoperating MMT(MPEG Multimedia Transport) media and DASH(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) media, comprising steps of:

receiving, by a portable terminal, MPD(Media Presentation Description) interoperability information of media transmitted through MMT and extracted by a home media server, wherein the MPD interoperability information is information corresponding to a MPD of DASH for interoperability between DASH and MMT;

sending, by the portable terminal, the received MPD interoperability information to an external server;

generating, by the external server, MPD information using the MPD interoperability information and sending the generated MPD information to the portable terminal; and

playing back, by the portable terminal, the MMT media as DASH media using the MPD information.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the external server is a server managing MPD interoperability information and is content providing server of a service provider, or an integration type TV receiver or a home media server.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

sending, by the portable terminal, a MPD request to the home media server; or

sending, by the portable terminal, a MPD request for a selected MMT media to the home media server by selecting content to be played back from MMT media list received from the home media server.

12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

controlling to continue to watch the MMT media from position where the MMT media being watched was stopped, by receiving information about the position where MMT media being watched was stopped, from the home media server.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein playing back, by the portable terminal, the MMT media as DASH media using the MPD information comprising:

sending, by the portable terminal, the MPD information to DASH transport server, requesting the DASH media;

sending, by the DASH transport server, the DASH media to the portable terminal, corresponding the DASH media request and using the MPD information.
