Broadcasting apparatus and method for pre-transmitting data carousel and receiving apparatus for receiving data carousel
First Claim
1. A broadcasting apparatus comprising:
- a transmitting means for transmitting an interactive content as a data carousel over a span of a scheduled broadcasting time period; and
a transmission control means for controlling the transmitting means so as to (a) start pre-transmitting the interactive content a predetermined time before the start of the scheduled broadcasting time period, and (b) repeatedly transmit a cache message that instructs a receiving apparatus to cache the interactive content into a storage unit in the receiving apparatus while the transmitting means pre-transmits the interactive content over a span of the predetermined time period.

Abstract
A broadcasting system including a broadcasting apparatus and a receiving apparatus. The broadcasting apparatus transmits an interactive content as a data carousel during a scheduled broadcasting time period, starts pre-transmitting the interactive content a predetermined time before the start of the scheduled broadcasting time period, and repeatedly transmits a cache message instructing a receiving apparatus to cache the interactive content into a storage unit while the interactive content is transmitted during the predetermined time period. The receiving apparatus receives and reproduces the interactive content, and caches the interactive content into a storage unit, not reproducing the interactive content, while the interactive content is received before the start of a scheduled broadcasting time period, and reproduces the interactive content during the scheduled broadcasting time period.
