Abstract

A method of processing a non-real time service of a broadcast receiver, which receives and processes a service being transmitted in non-real time, and a broadcast receiver are disclosed. Herein, the method of processing a non-real time service of a broadcast receiver includes receiving a signaling information table including additional information on contents configuring a non real time service and a content identifier for each content, acquiring the additional information on contents and the content identifier for each content from the signaling information table, storing contents being downloaded through a FLUTE or an internet in a storage medium, based upon the additional information on contents and the content identifier for each content, and displaying a list of recordings including the contents stored in the storage medium, wherein a list of recordings screen displaying the list of recordings includes at least one of a content name, a channel name, a date of recording, and a content size.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of receiving a broadcast signal for a broadcast service by a broadcast receiver, the method comprising:
receiving the broadcast signal having the broadcast service, and signaling data for signaling the broadcast service, wherein the broadcast service includes one or more non-real time contents, each of which consists of one or more files,
wherein the signaling data includes service information element containing information for service acquisition for broadcast services, and content information element containing information describing the one or more non-real time contents,
wherein the service information element is carried in IP (Internet Protocol) packets with a specific IP address and a specific port number; and
decoding the signaling data and the broadcast signal,
wherein the service information element includes service category information specifying a category of the broadcast service,
wherein the signaling data further includes Transport Session Identifier (TSI) for identifying the transport channel, bandwidth information specifying a maximum bit-rate required by the transport channel identified by the TSI, first start time information representing a start time of the transport channel, and first end time information representing an end time of the transport channel,
wherein the content information element includes second start time information specifying a start time related to a non-real time content, and second end time information specifying an end time related to the non-real time content,
wherein the non-real time content including an entry file is transported in the transport channel,
wherein the non-real time content is launched using the entry file.

2. An apparatus for receiving a broadcast signal for a broadcast service, the apparatus comprising:
a tuner that receives the broadcast signal having the broadcast service, and signaling data for signaling the broadcast service, wherein the broadcast service includes one or more non-real time contents, each of which consists of one or more data files,
wherein the signaling data includes service information element containing information for service acquisition for broadcast services, and content information element containing information describing the one or more non-real time contents,
wherein the service information element is carried in IP (Internet Protocol) packets with a specific IP address and a specific port number; and
a decoder that decodes the signaling data and the broadcast signal,
wherein the service information element includes service category information specifying a category of the broadcast service,
wherein the signaling data further includes Transport Session identifier (TSI) for identifying the transport channel, bandwidth information specifying a maximum bit-rate required by the transport channel identified by the TSI, first start time information representing a start time of the transport channel, and first end time information representing an end time of the transport channel,
wherein the content information element includes second start time information specifying a start time related to a non-real time content, and second end time information specifying an end time related to the non-real time content,
wherein the non-real time content including an entry file is transported in the transport channel,
wherein the non-real time content is launched using the entry file.
