Abstract

The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for transceiving a broadcast signal for viewing environment adjustment. A method for transmitting a broadcast signal, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: encoding video data and signaling information including metadata regarding the production environment of the video data; generating a broadcast signal comprising the encoded video data and signaling information; and transmitting the generated broadcast signal.

Claims (10)

1. A digital receiver for processing at least one video content, the digital receiver comprising:

a receiving module configured to receive the at least one video content and an SEI (supplemental enhancement information) message, wherein the SEI message identifies characteristics of a nominal viewing environment for displaying the at least one video content,

wherein the SEI message further comprises a first element for an environmental illuminance, a second element for an X chromaticity coordinate of an environmental ambient light in the nominal viewing environment according to CIE and a third element for a Y chromaticity coordinate of the environmental ambient light in the nominal viewing environment according to CIE;

a first sensor configured to sense a viewing environment, wherein the viewing environment is different from an environment when mastering the at least one video content;

a second sensor configured to sense a distance between a user and the digital receiver by using a camera; and

a controller configured to directly adjust an ambient light in the viewing environment when the digital receiver is able to communicate with a separate light controller based on Internet of Things (IoT) communication,

wherein the controller is further configured to reduce the overall brightness of a display module or reduce an area of a bright region of the at least one video content when the user's position is closer than a recommended viewing position and the digital receiver is unable to communicate with the separate light controller based on the IoT communication, and

wherein the controller is further configured to increase the overall brightness of the display module or increase the area of the bright region of the at least one video content when the user's position is longer than the recommended viewing position and the digital receiver is unable to communicate with the separate light controller based on the IoT communication.

2. The digital receiver of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to compare the sensed viewing environment with the SEI message.

3. The digital receiver of claim 2 , wherein the controller is further configured to provide an option to change an illuminance of the digital receiver when the sensed viewing environment does not match with the SEI message.
