Abstract: A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit, a system for carrying out the method, and a system for verifying an integrated circuit may use a standard cell layout including a first layout region that may violate design rules. The method for designing an integrated circuit may comprise receiving a data file that includes a scaling enhanced circuit layout, and designing a first standard cell layout using design rules and the data file. The designing the first standard cell layout may include designing a first layout region of the first standard cell layout using the data file, and designing a second region of the first standard cell layout using the design rules.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of providing additional content in a digital broadcast reception apparatus, the method including receiving a locator of additional content from a broadcast server while a user watches a broadcast program, receiving an instruction to insert the additional content from the broadcast server, receiving and reproducing the additional content from a content providing server designated by the locator, and switching back to the broadcast program. Thus, it is not necessary to allocate a separate channel and/or to switch channels for providing additional content.

Abstract: A message to be transmitted is converted into an image file. The image file is stored and location information about a location where the image file is stored, is generated. The image file is transmitted to at least one device based on the location information.

Abstract: Provided are a method and an apparatus for managing digital contents and a method and an apparatus for executing digital contents according to playback positions. The method for managing digital contents includes inputting digital contents from a digital contents provider, inputting playback positions of the digital contents at which at least one application will perform an operation, and generating a list of playback positions in which the playback positions are recorded, based on attribute information on the application.

Abstract: Disclosed are an information storage medium storing metadata for providing additional content during a broadcast program, the metadata including information indicating whether to insert second additional content instead of first additional content, which is underlying additional content of the broadcast program, and a locator of the second additional content, a method of providing additional content by using the same, and a digital broadcast reception apparatus.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for inserting second contents stored in a storage medium of a host while first contents input from an external provider are played includes: searching, by a searching unit, for the second contents using location information which indicates a location of the second contents stored in the storage medium; detecting, by a signal information detecting unit, signaling information from the first contents, the signaling information indicating a section in the first contents in which insertion of the second contents is allowed; and playing, by a playing unit, the searched, second contents in the allowed section of the first contents which are being played, based on the signaling information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for remotely controlling a device through a mobile network, and a device which converts a command into a text which is recorded in a short message field of an SMS message when a user inputs the command for remote control, transmits the text by dividing the text into a plurality of SMS messages in case the length of the text is longer than the size of the short message field, and delivers various SMS commands to a remote device through the SMS message regardless of the length of the text by determining the command by using information included in the text.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for limiting a content usage authority scope of a client by using metadata in an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) service. The method performed by a metadata server adds control information to the metadata and transmits the metadata, wherein the content usage authority scope of the client is defined in the control information. The client of a user limits a content control operation according to a user input by using the control information extracted from the metadata.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for providing and using content advisory (CA) information on Internet contents. A method of providing CA information by using a CA information server, includes receiving a request for the CA information on a content, from an Internet Protocol television (IPTV); searching for CA information on the content; and transmitting the found CA information to the IPTV. A method of using CA information when an IPTV reproduces a content not having the CA information, according to the present invention, includes transmitting a request for CA information, to a CA information server; receiving the CA information from the CA information server; analyzing the CA information; and applying the CA information.

Abstract: A message to be transmitted is converted into an image file. The image file is stored and location information about a location where the image file is stored, is generated. The image file is transmitted to at least one device based on the location information.
