Benefits of technology

This patent describes a method and apparatus for providing information to a user about broadcasting programs they are watching on a TV or other display device using a portable device. The system generates information about the program based on the broadcasting schedule and sends it to the user to show them information about the program. The user can then request information about specific parts of the program and receive information in response. This allows users to better understand and engage with the broadcasting content they are watching.

Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, the internet protocol television (IPTV), which enables a user to selectively receive his / her desired contents, has become the biggest issue in the broadcasting industry.
