Abstract

A broadcast receiver includes a tuner configured to receive a broadcast signal; a frequency deinterleaver configured to frequency deinterleave data in the broadcast signal based on an address generator; a time deinterleaver configured to time deinterleave a Time Interleaving (TI) block including the frequency deinterleaved data, the TI block including one or more Forward Error Correction (FEC) blocks interleaved by a TI scheme, the TI scheme including linear-writing one or more FEC blocks in a memory and diagonal-reading the one or more FEC block based on the TI block by skipping one or more virtual FEC blocks that are ahead of the one or more FEC blocks in the TI block; a decoder configured to decode the broadcast signal, the decoded broadcast signal including a signal frame including: one or more components included in a content of a service and content information describing the content, the content information including component information including role information for at least one of an audio component, a video component or a closed caption component of the one or more components, the role information for the audio component including visually impaired, and first information for rapid channel scans and service acquisition and second information describing mappings between Data Pipes (DPs) and the service and information identifying a DP for the second information; and a display configured to display information related to the content based on the role information of the one or more components of the content in the decoded broadcast signal.

Claims (39)

1. A broadcast receiver comprising:

a tuner configured to receive a broadcast signal;

a frequency deinterleaver configured to frequency deinterleave data in the broadcast signal based on an address generator;

a time deinterleaver configured to time deinterleave a Time Interleaving (TI) block including the frequency deinterleaved data, the TI block including one or more Forward Error Correction (FEC) blocks interleaved by a TI scheme, the TI scheme including linear-writing one or more FEC blocks in a memory and diagonal-reading the one or more FEC block based on the TI block by skipping one or more virtual FEC blocks that are ahead of the one or more FEC blocks in the TI block;

a decoder configured to decode the broadcast signal, the decoded broadcast signal including a signal frame including:

one or more components included in a content of a service and content information describing the content, the content information including component information including role information for at least one of an audio component, a video component or a closed caption component of the one or more components,

the role information for the audio component including visually impaired, and

first information for rapid channel scans and service acquisition and second information describing mappings between Data Pipes (DPs) and the service and information identifying a DP for the second information; and

a display configured to display information related to the content based on the role information of the one or more components of the content in the decoded broadcast signal.

2. The broadcast receiver according to claim 1 , wherein the role information for the audio component is one of completed main, music, dialog, effects, hearing impaired, or commentary.

3. The broadcast receiver according to claim 1 , wherein the display receives a user input signal including reservation information for a content.

4. The broadcast receiver according to claim 1 , wherein the display further configured to provide additional information for the visually impaired.

5. A method for receiving a broadcast signal, the method comprising:

receiving a broadcast signal;

frequency deinterleaving data in the broadcast signal based on an address generator; time deinterleaving a Time Interleaving (TI) block including the frequency deinterleaved data, the TI block including one or more Forward Error Correction (FEC) blocks interleaved by a TI scheme, the TI scheme including column-writing one or more FEC blocks in a memory and diagonal-reading the one or more FEC block based on the TI block by skipping one or more virtual FEC blocks that are ahead of the one or more FEC blocks in the TI block;

decoding the broadcast signal, the decoded broadcast signal including a signal frame including:

one or more components included in a content of a service and content information describing the content, the content information including component information including role information for at least one of an audio component, a video component or a closed caption component of the one or more components,

the role information for the audio component including visually impaired, and

first information for rapid channel scans and service acquisition and second information describing mappings between Data Pipes (DPs) and the service, and information identifying a DP for the second information; and

displaying information related to the content based on the role information of the one or more components of the content in the decoded broadcast signal.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the role information for the audio component is one of completed main, music, dialog, effects, hearing impaired, or commentary.

7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving a user input signal including reservation information for a content.

8. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

providing additional information for the visually impaired.

9. A broadcast receiver comprising:

a tuner configured to receive a broadcast signal;

a frequency deinterleaver configured to frequency deinterleave data in the broadcast signal based on an address generator, the address generator generates a deinterleaving sequence by checking a sequence to which an offset is applied;

a time deinterleaver configured to time deinterleave a Time Interleaving (TI) block including the frequency deinterleaved data, the TI block including one or more Forward Error Correction (FEC) blocks interleaved by a TI scheme, the TI scheme including linear-writing one or more FEC blocks in a memory and diagonal-reading the one or more FEC block based on the TI block by skipping one or more virtual FEC blocks that are ahead of the one or more FEC blocks in the TI block;

a decoder configured to decode the broadcast signal, the decoded broadcast signal including a signal frame including:

one or more components included in a content of a service and content information describing the content, the content information including component information including role information for at least one of an audio component, a video component or a closed caption component of the one or more components; and

a display configured to display information related to the content based on the role information of the one or more components of the content in the decoded broadcast signal.

10. A method for receiving a broadcast signal, the method comprising:

receiving a broadcast signal;

frequency deinterleaving data in the broadcast signal based on an address generator, the address generator generates a deinterleaving sequence by checking a sequence to which an offset is applied;

time deinterleaving a Time Interleaving (TI) block including the frequency deinterleaved data, the TI block including one or more Forward Error Correction (FEC) blocks interleaved by a TI scheme, the TI scheme including column-writing one or more FEC blocks in a memory and diagonal-reading the one or more FEC block based on the TI block by skipping one or more virtual FEC blocks that are ahead of the one or more FEC blocks in the TI block;

decoding the broadcast signal, the decoded broadcast signal including a signal frame including:

one or more components included in a content of a service and content information describing the content, the content information including component information including role information for at least one of an audio component, a video component or a closed caption component of the one or more components; and

displaying information related to the content based on the role information of the one or more components of the content in the decoded broadcast signal.
