Apparatus and method for providing content
A method of receiving content in a client is provided. The method may include receiving, from a server, a spatial set identifier (ID) corresponding to a tile group including at least one tile, sending, to the server, a request for first content corresponding to metadata, and receiving, from the server, the first content corresponding to the request.
1. A method of transmitting content in a server, the method comprising:
receiving a request for a content from a client based on a spatial relationship description (SRD); and
transmitting, to the client, the content,
wherein the SRD comprises a media presentation description to express spatial relationships between spatial objects,
wherein the spatial objects are represented by either one of an adaptation set and a sub-representation of the content,
wherein the SRD comprises source_id to provide a unique ID for a source of the content, within a period of the content,
wherein parameters of a position (x, y) and parameters of a size (w, h) of the SRD are compared after taking into account a size of a reference space,
wherein the SRD shares a same value with the source_id,
wherein the x is a horizontal position of each of the spatial objects, the y is a vertical position of each of the spatial objects, the w is a width of the spatial objects, and the h is a height of the spatial objects,
wherein the parameters x and y are used to express two-dimensional (2D) positions of a related spatial object in a coordinate system associated with the source, and
wherein the parameters w and h are used to express 2D sizes of the related spatial object in the coordinate system associated with the source.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the source_id is used to define the coordinate system associated with the source, and
the coordinate system comprises an arbitrary origin (0; 0), an x-axis oriented from left to right, and a y-axis oriented from top to bottom.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the SRD comprises a same origin and same axes orientations, and
spatial relationships for spatial objects using another SRD with different values than the parameter source_id are undefined.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein different values than parameters W and H are used in different descriptors to provide position and size information in different units.
5. A method of receiving content in a client, the method comprising:
transmitting a request for a content based on a spatial relationship description (SRD); and
receiving the content from a server,
wherein the SRD comprises a media presentation description (MPD) to express spatial relationships between spatial objects,
wherein the spatial objects are represented by either one of an adaptation set and a sub-representation of the content,
wherein the SRD comprises source_id to provide a unique ID for a source of the content,
wherein the SRD shares a same value of the source_id,
wherein parameters of a position (x, y) and parameters of a size (w, h) of the SRD are compared after taking into account a size of a reference space,
wherein the x is a horizontal position of each of the spatial objects, the y is a vertical position of each of the spatial objects, the w is a width of the spatial objects, and the h is a height of the spatial objects,
wherein the parameters x and y are used to express two-dimensional (2D) positions of a related spatial object in a coordinate system associated with the source, and
wherein the parameters w and h are used to express 2D sizes of the related spatial object in the coordinate system associated with the source.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the spatial relationship expresses video representing a spatial part of full-frame video.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the source_id provides the unique ID for the source of the content within a period of the content.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein
the source_id is used to define the coordinate system associated with the source, and
the coordinate system comprises an arbitrary origin (0; 0), an x-axis oriented from left to right, and a y-axis oriented from top to bottom.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein
the SRD comprises a same origin and same axes orientations, and
spatial relationships for spatial objects using an SRD with different values than the parameter source_id are undefined.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein different values of parameters W and H are used in different descriptors to provide position and size information in different units.
