Method of processing application in digital broadcast receiver connected with interactive network and the digital broadcast receiver

摘要

A digital broadcast receiver is disclosed. The method of processing an application in a digital broadcast receiver connected with an interactive network includes receiving, from a broadcast network, broadcast audio/video (A/V) content and application information table (AIT) data, wherein the AIT data includes a linkage descriptor, parsing the linkage descriptor, wherein the linkage descriptor comprises a field identifying a type of at least one secondary device able to process the application, displaying an indicator informing that the application is able to be accessed by using at least one secondary device, searching at least one secondary device connected to the digital broadcast receiver, receiving a request signal for the application, and transmitting the application or an IP address of the application to the secondary device.

1. A method of processing an application in a digital broadcast receiver the method comprising:
receiving, from a broadcast network, broadcast audio/video (A/V) content and application information table (AIT) data, wherein the AIT data includes a linkage descriptor; parsing the linkage descriptor, wherein the linkage descriptor comprises a field identifying a type of at least one secondary device able to process the application; displaying an indicator to indicate presence of at least one application usable in at least one of a plurality of secondary devices while displaying video data included in the broadcast A/V content, wherein the indicator is overlaid with the video data; searching a specific secondary device coupled to the digital broadcast receiver, wherein identification for the specific secondary device is registered in a memory of the digital broadcast receiver; extracting additional information on multiple applications; displaying an application list according to the extracted additional information, wherein the application list comprises at least one of time information for downloading the applications or price information; receiving a request signal for a specific application in the application list from the specific secondary device; and transmitting the requested application or an IP address of the requested application to the specific secondary device.
