Method of processing non-real time service and broadcast receiver
First Claim
1. A method of transmitting a broadcast signal for a Non-Real Time (NRT) service, the NRT service provided in parallel to Real Time (RT) services toward a receiving device, the method comprising:
- generating the broadcast signal including;
the RT services,the NRT service that is delivered in advance of its use by a receiving device and stored in the receiving device, the NRT service including one or more content items, andsignaling data including an NRT Information Table (NRT-IT) describing one or more content items in the NRT service available for download to storage in the receiving device and a Service Map Table (SMT) containing information used as a linkage between the SMT and the NRT-IT; and
transmitting, to the receiving device, the RT services and the NRT service in advance of its use by the receiving device via a broadcast channel;
transmitting, to the receiving device, the signaling data via a Service Signaling Channel (SSC) with a specific IP address and UDP port number through an IP stream,wherein the NRT-IT is composed of at least one NRT-IT instance that includes data corresponding to an arbitrarily defined time period, the arbitrarily defined time period defining a start time of a period that the NRT-IT instance is available and information indicating a length of the period that the NRT-IT instance is available,wherein each of the content items consists of one or more files,wherein the NRT-IT instance further includes content linkage information used to link data in the NRT-IT instance to the one or more files of each of the content items,wherein the NRT-IT instance further includes content size information representing size of a content item of the content items,wherein the content size information is used by the receiving device to determine if enough memory is available to store the content item before downloading is attempted, andwherein the NRT-IT instance further includes update availability information specifying whether updates for the content item are expected or not.

Abstract
A method of receiving and processing a broadcast signal including a Non-Real Time (NRT) service and a broadcast receiver are disclosed herein. A method of processing a Non-Real Time (NRT) service in a broadcast receiver, the method comprises receiving and processing first signaling information including content access information and second signaling information including content detail information, receiving and processing third signaling information including content update information, receiving and storing a content including at least one file through NRT based on the first signaling information and the second signaling information, identifying update availability of the content based on the content update information included in the third signaling information, and receiving at least one file included in the content by accessing a File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport (FLUTE) session transmitting the content when the update is available.
