Abstract

A method of receiving and processing a broadcast signal including a Non-Real Time (NRT) service and a broadcast receiver are disclosed herein. A A method of processing a Non-Real Time (NRT) service in a broadcast receiver, the method comprises receiving and processing first signaling information including content access information and second signaling information including content detail information, receiving and processing third signaling information including content update information, receiving and storing a content including at least one file through NRT based on the first signaling information and the second signaling information, identifying update availability of the content based on the content update information included in the third signaling information, and receiving at least one file included in the content by accessing a File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport (FLUTE) session transmitting the content when the update is available.

Claims

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

receiving the broadcast signal including real time data and signaling data including service information for a service and session information for at least one non-real time content of the service,

wherein the at least one non-real time content is delivered in at least one Internet Protocol (IP) packet through a transport session,

wherein the at least one non-real content includes one or more files,

wherein the service information includes service identification information for identifying the service, service name information for indicating a name of the service, and service status information for indicating whether the service is active or inactive,

wherein the session information includes transport session identification information for identifying the transport session, start time information for representing a start time of the transport session, and end time information for representing an end time of the transport session,

wherein an absence of the start time information indicates that the start time of the transport session occurred at some time in a past, and

wherein an absence of the end time information indicates that the end time of the transport session will occur at an undefined time in a future;

obtaining the signaling data;

receiving the one or more files included in the at least one non-real time content based on the signaling data including the service information and the session information; and

rendering the service by processing the at least one non-real time content including the received one or more files.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the rendering service further comprises:

configuring the service by combining the at least one non-real time content and a real time content including the real time data.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the signaling data further include IP address information and port number information for accessing of the at least one IP packet.

4. An apparatus for receiving a broadcast signal, the apparatus comprising:

a tuner that receives the broadcast signal including real time data and signaling data including service information for a service and session information for at least one non-real time content of the service,

wherein the at least one non-real time content is delivered in at least one Internet Protocol (IP) packet through a transport session,

wherein the at least one non-real content includes one or more files,

wherein the service information includes service identification information for identifying the service, service name information for indicating a name of the service, and service status information for indicating whether the service is active or inactive,

wherein the session information includes transport session identification information for identifying the transport session, start time information for representing a start time of the transport session, and end time information for representing an end time of the transport session,

wherein an absence of the start time information indicates that the start time of the transport session occurred at some time in a past, and

wherein an absence of the end time information indicates that the end time of the transport session will occur at an undefined time in a future;

a signaling parser that obtains the signaling data, wherein the tuner further receives the one or more files included in the at least one non-real time content based on the signaling data including the service information and the session information; and

a presentation manager that renders the service by processing the at least one non-real time content including the received one or more files.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the presentation manager further configures the service by combining the at least one non-real time content and a real time content including the real time data.

6. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the signaling data further include IP address information and port number information for accessing of the at least one IP packet.
