摘要

A method for controlling a digital broadcasting channel by a Rich Media service and a terminal therefor are provided to provide interactive interlocking services associated with the digital broadcasting channel including an EPG(Electronic Program Guide) service through Rich Media to a user, thereby improving convenience in the authoring of associated service contents and user's convenience. A Rich Media player displays a Rich Media scene on a display unit(S601). The Rich Media player receives a broadcasting channel control command from a user(S603). A laser engine provides a script corresponding to a user command to a script engine. The script engine executes the script(S605). The script engine analyzes a function included into the script by referring to a channel object class. A porting layer requests a broadcasting player to perform corresponding operations through a service platform(S609). The broadcasting player performs the operations requested through the porting layer and the service platform(S611). The script engine displays a scene including a result on the display unit according to the script or provides the scene to the Rich Media player to display the scene(S613).
