DMB package and mobile terminal for receiving DMB data and method of receiving DMB data
First Claim
1. A digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) package comprising:
- a DMB signal receiving unit for receiving the DMB data;
a DMB data converter for converting data formats of the DMB data received by the DMB signal receiving unit into data formats which can be reproduced by a mobile terminal interfaced thereto;
a DMB package interface unit for interfacing with the mobile terminal; and
a DMB package controller for controlling the DMB signal receiving unit and the DMB data converter to convert the data formats of the DMB data into the mobile terminal reproducible data formats and output the DMB data converted into the mobile terminal reproducible data formats to the mobile terminal through the DMB package interface unit.

Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus and a method for receiving and playing Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) data using a DMB package and a mobile terminal. The DMB package is separable from the mobile terminal and can be interfaced with the mobile terminal. The apparatus includes DMB package for receiving DMB data, converting data formats of the received DMB data into multimedia data formats which can be reproduced by the typical mobile terminal, and transmitting the DMB data converted into the mobile terminal reproducible data formats to the mobile terminal. Accordingly, even a mobile terminal, which does not have a function of receiving and reproducing DMB data, can reproduce the DMB data.
