METHOD AND DIGITAL BROADCASTING SYSTEM FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING ESG
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting a Program Guide (PG) of a digital broadcast transmitter, the method comprising:
- determining whether there are second fragments to be transmitted through a communication network among first Electronic Service Guide (ESG) fragments included in PG data;
generating a data session that includes route information of the second fragments if there are the second fragments;
transmitting the data session to a terminal.

Abstract
A method and a digital broadcasting system for transmitting and receiving an Electronic Service Guide (ESG) are provided. When there are ESG fragments to be transmitted through a communication network among ESG fragments included in ESG data, a digital broadcast transmitter generates an ESG data session such that the ESG data session may include route information through the communication network of the relevant ESG fragments. Then, the digital broadcast transmitter transmits the generated ESG data session to a broadcast receiving terminal, which obtains the route information through the communication network of the relevant ESG fragments. Accordingly, a user can more easily and conveniently receive the ESG data by using the route information through the communication network obtained by the broadcast receiving terminal.
