METHOD OF CONTROLLING SWITCHING OF IP FLATEFORMS IN DVB-H TERMINAL

摘要

A method for controlling changing of an IP platform in a DVB-H(Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld) terminal is provided to allow a user to use previously configured data in selectively changing an IP(Internet Protocol) platform to reduce a user standby time. When one of currently service-available IP platforms is selected(400), a controller downloads an ESG(Electronic Service Guide) corresponding to the selected IP platform(402). The controller generates a service channel list by using the ESG and displays the service channel list on a display unit(404). The controller checks whether the user selects the change of an IP platform(406). When the change of an IP platform is selected, the controller checks whether downloading of ESG with respect to the changed IP platform has been completed(408). If the ESG has been downloaded and stored in a memory, the controller checks whether the stored ESG is the latest version(412). If the ESG is the latest version, the controller generates a corresponding service channel list by using the downloaded ESG(416).
