Benefits of technology
This patent describes how to define metadata for an application that provides IPTV communication services using an XML Schema. This makes it easier for users to access and use the services provided by the service provider. The technical effect is improved access to IPTV services through metadata creation.
Problems solved by technology
Therefore, wide distribution of the IPTV service may largely affect the content industry and electrical appliances, as well as the communication and broadcasting industries.
For example, when there are three IPTV service providers, that is, Company A, Company B, and Company C, subscribers who bought the set-top box of company A may only use the IPTV service provided by company A, and they should buy an additional set-top box of company B or company C in order to subscribe for the IPTV service provided by company B or company C. The above problem of compatibility between the IPTV service and the set-top box limits a range of selection, and thus, quality of the IPTV service may be degraded and expansion of the IPTV service may be restricted.
