METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING ELECTRONIC SERVICE GUIDE AND DIGITAL BROADCASTING SYSTEM THEREFOR

摘要

A method for transceiving an ESG and a digital broadcasting system are provided to update not only the ESG data transmitted through a broadcasting network but also the ESG data transmitted through a communication network in a broadcast receiving terminal, thereby saving the time and resource. A digital broadcasting transmitter collects ESG data to be transmitted(500), and then distinguishes ESG data to be transmitted through a communication network(502) by determining whether ESG fragments to be transmitted exist within the ESG data. The digital broadcasting transmitter determines whether the distinguished ESG data exists(504), and then generates an ESG data session so that URL(Uniform Resource Locator) information can be included, if the distinguished ESG data exists(506).
