  • Patent number: 8117470
    Abstract: Provided are a home network client and server including an energy-away control element (ECE), and a control method thereof. A client advertises an ECE serving as a functional block of each service unit. The advertisement is recognized and the ECE is registered by a plug and play method. An ECE to be controlled is searched and selected among registered ECEs. State checking and management are performed on the selected ECE. The ECE is defined by each service unit in the home network server and client, and energy is controlled for each ECE, so that the energy consumption can be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20090222790
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for processing resource description framework data. The present invention relates to a system and method allowing a general-purpose program to support operation of resource description language (RDF) data models, not operation of RDF ontology using a library. Therefore, it is possible to process RDF data by using an existing high-level programming language. Further, since a developer clearly perceives RDF data models, it is possible to easily operate RDF ontology.

  • Patent number: 7512396
    Abstract: An apparatus for reducing power consumption in a digital broadcast receiver is provided. An AC-to-DC converter converts input AC power into DC power that can be used in the receiver. A power control switch selectively supplies the DC power from the converter to a tuner unit and a decoder according to a command of a controller. The tuner unit receives broadcast channel signals and demodulates the received broadcast channel signals according to the respective broadcast formats. The decoder receives the demodulated broadcast signals from the tuner unit and decodes analog/digital broadcast signals. A multimedia output port is connected between the decoder and the display unit to transfer the audio/video output signals from the decoder to the display unit. The controller detects the state of the display unit through the multimedia output port to control whether to supply the DC power through the power control switch.

  • Publication number: 20070130604
    Abstract: A home server having an integrated set-top function and a controlling method thereof are provided. The home server includes a processor unit, a tuner unit, an open cable broadcast receiving unit, and a set-top core unit. The processor unit receives an IPTV broadcast from an access network, includes control S/W for each broadcast type, receives a channel change request from a user, and stores and provides previously-watched channel information. The tuner unit includes a plurality of tuners and receives a MPEG2 TS according to the user's request. The open cable broadcast receiving unit releases a conditional access of the MPEG2 TS and encodes the received MPEG2 TS for copy protection. The set-top core unit receives the MPEG2 TS from the processor unit, the tuner unit and the open cable broadcast receiving unit, selects a channel in response to the control S/W, decodes the selected channel, and outputs video signal.
