Abstract: There are one or more pre-parsers for extracting one or more components from integrated document in a network system comprised of at least one terminal, a server, and at least one repeater, where the pre-parsers are installed in one or more of the terminal, the server, and the repeater. The server may create a primary SADL integrated document and transmit it to the terminal or the repeater. And, the repeater may transmit secondary SADL integrated document or the application, created by applying delivery context to the primary SADL integrated document to the terminal. The terminal may also apply delivery context to the primary SADL integrated document or the secondary SADL integrated document, thereby creating an application optimized for the terminal.

Abstract: There is provided a method of providing customized advertisement/news in a scalable application service system. The method of providing customized advertisement/news for a scalable application service server includes: substituting an advertisement/news component of existing content with a Scalable Application Description Language (SADL) component to create SADL integrated document; receiving an application request requesting transmission of the existing content, the application request including delivery context about a terminal; applying the delivery content about the terminal to parse the SADL integrated document, thereby creating customized content including customized advertisement/news; and transmitting an application response including the customized content to the terminal.

Abstract: An object priority order compositor for an MPEG-4 player having a drawing node list generator including an object priority order register, a drawing node extractor, a field-node extractor, and an object priority order manager including an object rendering sequencer and an object instruction manager. The drawing node list generator makes a list by receiving a scene tree from a parser manager and extracting drawing nodes necessary for presentation on a screen from the scene tree by a depth first search. The object priority order manager handles insert, delete, and replace commands received from scene constitution information to determine priority order of an object. The object priority order compositor performs presentation of objects based on a priority order for objects when a scene change, in which an object is inserted, deleted, or replaced in real time by user interaction, as required in an MPEG-4 scene of high capacity multimedia objects.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method or an operation for providing a personalized TV-Anytime metadata service. According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method of providing a table field element using a get_Data operation in the TV-Anytime metadata service. In the table field element provision method, a requested fields type element (RequestedFieldsType) required to designate a field of a metadata table is included in a query result value type in the SOAP query operation. A request message of the SOAP query operation is received. When the request message includes the requested fields type element for designating the query result value, a query result value corresponding to the table field designated from the requested fields type element included in the request message is extracted, and the query result value is transmitted using a response message of the SOAP operation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of providing a user information-based search using a get_Data operation in TV-ANYTIME service. In the user information-based search provision method of the present invention, a user information (PersonalInformation) element is added as an element of the get_Data operation. A request message of the get_Data operation is received. User information is extracted from the user information (PersonalInformation) element in response to reception of the request message. A user information-based search is conducted using the extracted user information. Results of the user information-based search are transmitted using a response message of the get_Data operation. Accordingly, the present invention is advantageous in that a client provides user information to a service provider using a get_Data operation, and the service provider can search for contents suitable for each user in consideration of the user information.
