Abstract: An apparatus and method for enabling a user to view a multimedia broadcasting, especially for processing a multimedia audio signal when a voice call is requested during the multimedia broadcasting. In the mobile terminal, an RF module converts a received RF signal for a voice call to a coded signal. An audio processor converts the coded signal to an electrical voice signal and outputs it through a speaker. A demultiplexer receives a digital multimedia signal and separates it into an audio signal and a video signal. A decoder decodes the audio and video signals and provides the decoded audio signal to the speaker and the decoded video signal to a display. A controller discontinues decoding the audio signal and outputs the voice signal from the audio processor through the speaker, if a voice call request is generated during receiving of the digital multimedia signal.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for servicing both a wide area broadcasting and a local area broadcasting in a digital multimedia broadcasting system. The apparatus includes a means for transmitting program association tables and program map tables in a form of transport stream packets, wherein each of the program association tables includes packet identifications of program map tables corresponding to at least one wide area broadcasting program and at least one local area broadcasting program, and each of the program map tables includes detailed information about corresponding local area broadcastings.

Abstract: An apparatus for managing an address book in a portable terminal includes: a camera section adapted to photograph a text to output a text image signal; an image processing section adapted to convert a text image signal into a digital image data; a text conversion section adapted to convert digital image data into text data with a text recognition program; and a control section adapted to store private information text data of the converted text data in a corresponding item of the address book when one or more items of the address book include an item coinciding with an item of text data converted by the text conversion section.
