Abstract

A method, system and terminal for changing an MO of a broadcast service guide. The method for changing an management object (MO) of a broadcast service guide includes: installing an MO tree by a terminal upon receiving a service guide for which at least one management object has been formed from a broadcast server; changing by the terminal a corresponding MO upon receiving a change-requested parameter of the service guide MO from a DM server; and updating by the terminal a corresponding portion of the service guide based on the changed MO. When the subscriber terminal which has received the broadcast service has a problem or needs to be updated, the problem of the terminal can be remotely, quickly and easily solved by correcting the change-requested parameter of the MO of the service guide of the terminal side according to a request of the server or the terminal.

Claims

1. A method for receiving a broadcast service, the method performed by a terminal and comprising:

receiving, by the terminal and from a first server for the broadcast service, a delivery descriptor for a service guide to the broadcast service;

receiving, by the terminal and from the first server, at least one or more fragments of the service guide;

storing, by the terminal, at least one or more parameters needed for the terminal to receive the broadcast service, in at least one or more management objects (MOs) in form of device management (DM) tree thereby being provided to and managed by a second server for the DM; and

acquiring, by the terminal, at least one or more updated parameters needed for the terminal capable of receiving the broadcast service.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one or more updated parameters are received from the second server for the DM.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one or more updated parameters are broadcasted from the first server.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving at least one update of the delivery descriptor and the fragment of the service guide.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the update is broadcasted from the first server.

6. The method of claim 4 wherein the update is received in response to a request of the terminal.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the terminal includes a first client for the broadcast service and a second client for device management.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the DM tree includes information required to receive a notification.

9. A terminal for receiving a broadcast service, comprising:

a first client unit configured for the broadcast service and to receive, from a first server for the broadcast service, a delivery descriptor for a service guide to the broadcast service and at least one or more fragments of the service guide,

wherein at least one or more parameters needed for the terminal to receive the broadcast service are stored in at least one or more management objects (MOs) in form of device management (DM) tree thereby being provided to and managed by a second server for the DM; and

wherein the terminal acquires at least one or more updated parameters needed for the terminal capable of receiving the broadcast service.

10. The terminal of claim 9, wherein the at least one or more updated parameters are received from the second server for the DM.

11. The terminal of claim 9, wherein the at least one or more updated parameters are broadcasted from the first server.

12. The terminal of claim 9, wherein the first client is further configured to receive at least one update of the delivery descriptor and the fragment of the service guide.

13. The terminal of claim 12, wherein the update is broadcasted from the first server.

14. The terminal of claim 12, wherein the update is received in response to a request of the terminal.

15. The terminal of claim 9, wherein the terminal includes a first client for the broadcast service and a second client for device management.

16. The terminal of claim 9, wherein the DM tree includes information required to receive a notification.
