Abstract

A method for processing a digital broadcasting data application is disclosed. In accordance with the method of the present invention, a data of a minimum quantity required for executing a data application is received the digital broadcast network and other data is received by a pull method to minimize a time required for receiving and executing the data application.

Claims

1. A method for executing a data application of a digital broadcasting, the method comprising steps of:

(a) receiving a minimum execution data for executing the data application through a digital broadcast network;

(b) executing the minimum execution data;

(c) receiving an additional data required during the execution of the minimum execution data; and

(d) combining the minimum execution data and the additional data to provide the data application.

2. The method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the minimum execution data includes a foundation class data required for executing the data application.

3. The method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the additional data comprises an additional class data or a resource data required for executing the data application.

4. The method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the minimum execution data comprises a metadata for an execution of the data application, and the metadata comprises a download location information of the additional data or an execution condition information of the data application.

5. The method in accordance with claim 4, wherein the step (b) comprises (b-1) extracting the download location information of the additional data or the execution condition information of the data application from the metadata.

6. The method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the step (b) comprises (b-2) dividing the data application into scenes based on the minimum execution data, the step (c) comprises (c-1) receiving the additional data for each of the scenes, and the step (d) comprises (d-1) executing the additional data for each of the scenes to provide the data application.

7. The method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the step (c) comprises (c-2) receiving the additional data via a return channel.

8. The method in accordance with claim 7, wherein the step (c-2) comprises (c-3) receiving the additional data by carrying out a socket-based communication.

9. A method for executing a data application of a digital broadcasting, the method comprising steps of:

(a) receiving a metadata for the data application;

(b) analyzing the metadata to extract an information required for executing the data application;

(c) receiving the data application based on the information extracted in the step (b); and

(d) executing and providing the data application.

10. The method in accordance with claim 9, wherein the step (a) comprises (a-1) receiving the metadata via a digital broadcast network.

11. The method in accordance with claim 9, wherein the metadata comprises a download location information of the data application or an execution condition information of the data application.

12. The method in accordance with claim 9, wherein the step (b) comprises (b-1) extracting the location information of the data application or the execution condition information of the data application from the metadata.

13. The method in accordance with claim 9, wherein the step (c) comprises (c-1) receiving the data application via a return channel.

14. The method in accordance with claim 13, wherein the step (c-1) comprises (c-2) receiving the data application by carrying out a socket-based communication.

15. The method in accordance with claim 9, wherein the data application comprises a plurality of divided data applications divided based on a resource, and the step (d) comprises (d-1) executing the plurality of divided data applications based on the resource.
