First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for forming EPG information including advertisement information in a terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) system, the method comprising:
- extracting by a service provider of the terrestrial DMB system information for forming the EPG information;
generating eXtensible Markup Language (XML) schemas regarding ensemble information, service information and program information;
determining whether to provide advertisement information through the EPG information;
when the advertisement information is to be provided through the EPG information, performing the steps of;
extracting information for advertisements, defining an XML-based element for advertisements using the extracted information, forming a predetermined XML schema of an attribute type about the element; and
inserting the XML-based element for advertisements into at least one of the XML schemas selected from the group consisting of the ensemble information, the service information and the program information, and providing a service user with said at least one XML schema having said XML-based element for advertisements inserted therein.

Abstract
A method is provided for a terrestrial DMB system to form EPG information that includes advertisement information, and XML-based schemas are defined and used for this purpose. Specifically, existing XML schemas regarding ensemble information, service information and program information have inserted therein the newly defined XML-based schemas so that provided advertising information can be displayed whenever EPG information is displayed.
