Abstract: A transmitting/receiving system and a data processing method of the same are disclosed herein. The receiving system may include a receiving unit, a first processing unit, and a second processing unit. The receiving unit receives a broadcast signal including mobile service data from at least one slot. The first processing unit acquires FIC segments divided from an FIC chunk of at least one sub-frame. Herein, each FIC segment comprises a 2-byte segment header and a 35-byte segment payload. The segment header includes an FIC type information, a number of a corresponding FIC segment, and a number of a last FIC segment among the FIC segments divided from the FIC chunk. The second processing unit obtains the FIC chunk including signaling information between at least one ensemble and at least one mobile service from respective payloads of the FIC segments, based upon the acquired FIC type information, number of the corresponding FIC segment, and number of the last FIC segment of each FIC segment.

Abstract: Provided is a broadcast service receiving method of a broadcast receiving device. The method includes: receiving an video stream among a content transmitted as a broadcast service; generating a request message for at least one of signalling information on the broadcast service and signalling information on an adjunct service of the broadcast service on the basis of part of the received video stream; transmitting the generated request message to a server through an internet network; receiving a response message corresponding to the request message from the server; obtaining at least one of the broadcast service corresponding to the video stream and the adjunct service of the broadcast service on the basis of the received response message; and providing the obtained broadcast service and adjunct service, wherein the request message comprises first query information for specifying a request time interval and second query information for specifying at least one signalling table to be requested.

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 in a broadcast receiver includes receiving in non-real time first signaling information including access information of a content item and second signaling information including detail information of the content item, receiving in non-real time a file belonging to the content item by accessing to a FLUTE session transmitting the content item, wherein the file corresponds to a compressed file that has one or more files including an entry file compressed therein, and decompressing the compressed file and then executing the content item referring to information on the entry file.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a method for receiving a broadcast service comprises the following steps: receiving service signaling data corresponding to a non-real-time service object; determining a consumption model for the non-real-time service object based on the service signaling data; if the consumption model of the non-real-time service object is determined as a trigger declarative object, receiving and storing the non-real-time service object according to a preset method; receiving a first packetized stream; extracting a trigger including a trigger action and a trigger time from a payload of the first packetized stream; and performing the trigger action for said stored non-real-time service object at the time designated by said trigger time.

Abstract: A method of processing a broadcast signal including an interactive broadcast service at a transmitter is disclosed. The method comprises generating an parameter table containing metadata about applications and interactive broadcast events targeted to the applications, dividing the parameter table into a plurality of parameter blocks, inserting each of the parameter blocks into each of a plurality of parameter table sections, generating a trigger which is a signaling element to identify signaling and establish timing of playout of the interactive broadcast events, inserting the trigger into a closed caption channel of the broadcast signal, transmitting the broadcast signal including the closed caption channel and a specific channel carrying the plurality of parameter table sections, wherein the trigger includes location information specifying a location of the parameter table in the broadcast signal.
