Abstract

The broadcast signal transmitting apparatus includes a signaling encoder for generating signaling information indicating whether a broadcast signal including multimedia content is transmitted in real time using a broadcast network, an internal structure generator for generating at least one object internal structure obtained by dividing a file included in the multimedia content into an independently encoded or decoded data unit, a packet information generator for generating packet information including metadata for identification of the object internal structure when the signaling information indicates that the multimedia content is transmitted in real time, and a transmitter for transmitting a broadcast signal including the object internal structure and the packet information. Accordingly, the apparatus can reduce a total time needed when multimedia content is acquired and then displayed for a user.

Claims (19)

1. A broadcast signal transmitting apparatus comprising:

a packetizer configured to generate at least one Layered Coding Transport (LCT) packet,

wherein the at least one LCT packet is used to transport at least one delivery object including service data for a broadcast service,

wherein the at least one delivery object is carried in a transport session, and

wherein the at least one LCT packet includes a header having a Transport Object Identifier (TOI) identifying a delivery object being carried in the at least one LCT packet;

a processor configured to generate signaling information including mapping information,

wherein the mapping information in the signaling information is used to establish a one-to-one mapping between the TOI and a uniform resource locator (URL) for the delivery object; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the at least one LCT packet, and to transmit the signaling information separately from the at least one LCT packet,

wherein the header of the at least one LCT packet further includes type information indicating whether a type of the delivery object being carried in the at least one LCT packet is a media segment type or an initialization segment type.

2. A broadcast signal transmitting method comprising:

generating at least one Layered Coding Transport (LCT) packet,

wherein the at least one LCT packet is used to transport at least one delivery object including service data for a broadcast service,

wherein the at least one delivery object is carried in a transport session, and

wherein the at least one LCT packet includes a header having a Transport Object Identifier (TOI) identifying a delivery object being carried in the at least one LCT packet;

generating signaling information including mapping information,

wherein the mapping information in the signaling information is used to establish a one-to-one mapping between the TOI and a uniform resource locator (URL) for the delivery object;

transmitting the at least one LCT packet; and

transmitting the signaling information separately from the at least one LCT packet,

wherein the header of the at least one LCT packet further includes type information indicating whether a type of the delivery object being carried in the at least one LCT packet is a media segment type or an initialization segment type.
