Abstract: A method of receiving content in a client is provided. The method may include receiving, from a server, a spatial set identifier (ID) corresponding to a tile group including at least one tile, sending, to the server, a request for first content corresponding to metadata, and receiving, from the server, the first content corresponding to the request.

Abstract: The present specification is related to a method for performing multi-projection and a multi-projection system for minimizing a black offset in a multi-projection environment. The present specification provides the method for performing multi-projection comprising estimating the intensity transfer function (ITF) of a plurality of projectors, calculating an optimal black offset threshold for each of the projectors by using each of the ITFs, and applying the optimal black offset threshold to an image projection by each of the projectors.

Abstract: A progressive video streaming apparatus and method based on a visual perception are provided, and the progressive video streaming apparatus may include a gaze detector to detect gaze information including at least one of a location of a focus and a viewing angle of a user, a video playback quality determiner to determine video playback quality layers, based on the detected gaze information, a progressive streaming receiver to request video data and receive the video data, using a visual perception priority based on the detected gaze information, and a visual perception-based player to play back the received video data, by controlling an interactive delay to be reduced below a selected criterion, while reducing a visually recognized quality change in the received video data below another selected criterion.

Abstract: Disclosed are a color correction apparatus for panorama video stitching and a method of selecting a reference image using the same. A method of selecting a reference image for color correction when stitching panorama video based on input images includes selecting an optimum reference image candidate from the input images based on standard deviations for overlapping regions between the input images, performing color correction on the input images based on the optimum reference image candidate, and validating the optimum reference image candidate based on the color-corrected input images.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of encoding and decoding an Extensible Markup Language (XML) document using a path code is provided. A method of encoding an XML document, the method including: searching the XML document for all element tags and all attributes including character data; extracting an XPath of each of the retrieved element tags and attributes; converting the extracted XPath into a predetermined path code; and expressing an occurrence indicator of each of all element tags included in the converted XPath.

Abstract: Provided is a service recognition method of a router in IPv6 environment, allowing a router to facilitate access of a mobile terminal to various services by using service information of a service header and identification information of the mobile terminal included in an IPv6 packet transmitted from the mobile terminal. The service recognition method includes: a) looking up predefined service cache by using service identification of IPv6 packet as index key of the service cache when the IPv6 packet including the service ID in a service header is received from the mobile terminal; b) changing destination address into address of the service server when the address of the service server and service control information are determined through the lookup of the service-cache to request service and perform service control; and c) routing to the mobile terminal by using the IPv6 packet when service response is transmitted from the service server.

Abstract: Provided are a time shift service apparatus and method based on multimedia information, and a multimedia reproducing apparatus using the same. The timeshift service apparatus includes: a timeshift buffering unit for storing a multimedia stream according a timeshift service requested from an outside device; a time obtaining unit for obtaining time information about times of starting and ending a timeshift service according to the timeshift service request; a memory managing unit for storing a multimedia stream, which is serviced based on the obtained time information by the time obtaining unit, in the timeshift buffering unit; and an information generating unit for generating detailed information for the multimedia stream stored in the timeshift buffering unit.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method of dividing virtual sites using policy properties in multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) networks. In this method, when multiple virtual sites are selected with respect to one interface, not only usually used source IP addresses and VLAN tags but also TOS fields and MPLS labels are used so that more various kinds of virtual sites can be selected. Also, since the TOS fields and MPLS labels can express additional QoS-related information, differentiated services can be provided by selecting a wider variety of kinds of virtual sites.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of providing Differentiated Service (DiffServ) based Quality of Service (QoS) to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) packets through a router. In the QoS providing method, VoIP call session information including source and destination IP addresses, source and destination user datagram protocol (UDP) port numbers, and requested QoS information is provided to the QoS control server by the VoIP call control device. Source and destination routers are found using the VoIP call session information and the VoIP call session information requiring provision of QoS is sent to the source and destination routers by the QoS control server. The present invention can recognize VoIP packets, provide QoS to the VoIP packets, and transmit voice packets of high quality.

Abstract: The present invention provides a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-based load balancing apparatus and method. The apparatus receives a message transmitted from a user at a position in front of a plurality of proxy servers each connected in parallel and decodes the received message. The apparatus selectively performs addition, renewal and deletion of user information according to an expiration field of a header and transmits the decoded message to a proxy server, if the decoded message is a REGISTER message, searches for a proxy server that will handle a destination address, increases a load of the proxy server and transmits the decoded message to the proxy server, if the decoded message is a INVITE message, and examines a proxy server of the destination address and transmits the decoded message to the proxy server, if the decoded message is a BYE message.

Abstract: A telephone number domain name system is provided for managing a telephone number system using an existing domain name system thereby allowing a telephone number to be unique worldwide. The system includes a telephone number domain name system client and telephone number domain name server. The telephone domain name client includes a telephone number input section for receiving a telephone number, a domain name conversion section for converting the telephone number into a domain name, and an address request section for requesting an Internet protocol (IP) address corresponding to the converted domain name. The telephone number domain name server includes an address search section for searching an Internet protocol (IP) address corresponding to the request, and an address response section for transmitting a searched Internet protocol address to the address request section.
