Abstract: A host device interfacing with a point of deployment (POD) and a method of processing a broadcasting data are disclosed. An IP physical interface unit receives a frame including an internet protocol (IP) packet carrying broadcast data through a network modem. A Routing Engine transforms the frame to an IP packet and routs the IP packet based on a destination information included in the frame. And a Multiplexer generates an IP MPEG packet by appending a Packet Header carrying identification information to the IP packet, multiplexes the IP MPEG packet and forwards the multiplexed IP packet to the POD.

Abstract: A host device interfacing with a point of deployment (POD) and a method of processing a broadcasting data are disclosed. A broadband interface unit received a MPEG transport packet through a cable. A demodulator demodulates the received MPEG transport packet. An IP physical interface unit for received a frame including an internet protocol (IP) packet through a network. A routing engine transforms the frame to an IP packet and routs the IP packet based on a destination information included in the frame. And a multiplexer generates IP MPEG packet and CableCARD MPEG packet by appending a Packet Header carrying identification information and packet identification information to each of the IP packet and the demodulated MPEG transport packet, multiplexes the IP MPEG packet and the CableCARD MPEG packet and sends the multiplexed IP MPEG packet and CableCARD MPEG packet to the POD.

Abstract: A broadcasting receiver and method of interfacing resource information between a host device and a POD, sending host device resource information and obtaining host device resource information are disclosed. A POD sends a resource information requesting message. And a host device receives the resource information requesting message and responds with a resource information message including a resource identifier defined in a resource information table which includes information indicating whether the host device supports A-mode. Using a “conditional access” feature provided by a conventional cable security card, content received through any type of transport protocol (including an IP protocol) including a wired/wireless network can be protected and A-mode resource information can be systematically defined together with other-mode IP communication resource and the resource information of different modes can be integrated and transmitted to the host device.

Abstract: A broadcasting receiver and a method of determining an operation mode of broadcasting receiver are disclosed. A host device transmits the resource information including A-mode resource information. And a POD receives the resource information and determining an operation mode based on the received resource information and operation mode setting information. The broadcasting receiver can protect content data received from all the transfer protocols including the wired/wireless network and the IP protocol, using the conditional access provided from the conventional cable card. The broadcasting receiver determines whether the host supports the A-mode and determines a method for receiving broadcast data, such that the operation mode of the broadcasting receiver can be properly established according to the determined result.

Abstract: A host device interfacing with a point of deployment (POD) and method of processing broadcasting data are disclosed. An IP physical interface unit receives a frame including an internet protocol (IP) packet carrying broadcast data through a network modem. A routing engine routs the frame based on a destination information included in the frame. An IP to TS Decapsulator extracts a MPEG-2 TS packet from the IP packet included in the routed frame. And a multiplexer augments the extracted MPEG-2 TS packet with Packet Header carrying an identification information, multiplexes the augmented MPEG-2 TS packet and forwards the multiplexed MPEG-2 TS to the POD.

Abstract: A host device interfacing with a point of deployment (POD) and a method of processing broadcast data are disclosed. Herein, an Internet Protocol (IP) physical interface unit receives an Ethernet frame including broadcast data; and a routing engine transforms the Ethernet frame to an IP packet when a destination address included in the Ethernet frame matches with an address of a pod and routs the transformed IP packet to an extended channel connected to the POD. Accordingly, it is possible to protect contents using a conditional access provided by the existing cable card and process broadcast data received on all types of transmission protocols including an IP protocol over a wired/wireless network using a channel provided for connection between the existing cable card and the host device.

Abstract: A broadcast receiver and a method for transmitting status information of the broadcast receiver are disclosed. The broadcast receiver transmits status information of a DVR function to a broadcast transmission terminal via a network management unit. The network management unit may be any one of a Common Management Information Protocol (CIMP), a Remote Network Monitoring (RMON), and a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), etc. The status information may be defined in the form of MIB structure. The defined data may be communicated between the broadcast receiver and the broadcast transmission terminal according to a network management protocol. Therefore, the broadcast receiver can monitor the status information of the storage unit, and can transmit broadcast data or program to prevent the problems from being generated.

Abstract: A broadcast receiving apparatus, application transmitting/receiving method and reception status information transmitting method are disclosed, by which information associated with a broadcast reception status can be transmitted to a broadcast transmitting terminal and by which a problem of a storage device can be transmitted to a broadcast transmitting terminal in advance in case of attempting to receive an application or the like that will be transmitted by the broadcast transmitting terminal. The present invention includes collecting information indicating a remaining size of the storage device and transmitting the collected information according to a network management protocol.

Abstract: A host includes a controller configured to receive a request self-diagnostic to the host, wherein the request is for diagnostic information associated with memory allocated for an application. The controller is further configured to collect the requested diagnostic information.

Abstract: A host includes a controller configured to receive a request self-diagnostic to the host, wherein the request is for diagnostic information associated with central processing unit (CPU) for an application. The controller is further configured to collect the requested diagnostic information.

Abstract: A host includes a controller configured to receive a request external to the host, wherein the request is for diagnostic information associated with central processing unit (CPU) for an application. The controller is further configured to collect the requested diagnostic information.

Abstract: A method for managing the applications related to data broadcasting, a class/interface structure for controlling the same, and a broadcasting receiver for controlling the class/interface receiver can prevent data broadcast-associated application from conflicting with a Native application. The method comprising the steps of: pausing an application associated with a cable mode if a current input mode is not in cable mode; and controlling a broadcast receiver by using an application that is native to the broadcast receiver.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a genetically modified helper phage, named Ex-phage, for packaging phagemid vector. For the modification, amber codons are introduced at 5′region of the helper phage genome by site-directed mutagenesis. The resulted mutant helper phage produces wild-type pIII in suppressive strains but not in non-suppressive strains. Furthermore, this invention provides a method of preparing phage display library expressing various foreign proteins on the surfaces of the phages.
