ESG Fragment Operator Identification for Mobile TV Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in accessing television content and services on mobile devices due to the need for manual input of cumbersome web addresses, risk of errors, and lack of standardized methods for specifying web address information, leading to confusion and unsuitable content availability.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating Mobile Country Code (MCC) and Mobile Network Code (MNC) into Electronic Service Guide (ESG) fragments to identify mobile operators, allowing for automatic filtering and dynamic web-link updates, and storing this information in subscriber terminals, such as SIM cards, to simplify access and content management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual web address input is used for accessing mobile TV services, then users can access web pages, but error rate increases and user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal automatically obtains web address information from ESG fragments without requiring manual user input. The system self-services by extracting and utilizing the web address field from the ESG data structure, eliminating the need for users to manually enter web addresses and thereby reducing errors while maintaining convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The ESG fragment acts as an intermediary that carries web address information from the service provider to the terminal. Instead of direct manual input or complex protocols, the web address is embedded within the ESG fragment structure, serving as a mediator that automatically delivers the correct address to the terminal for service access.
2Reliability
If standardized web address specification is implemented, then access reliability improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The ESG fragment structure is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides service description, scheduling information, and web address specification all in one standardized format. By making the ESG fragment universal and multi-functional, the system achieves consistent web address specification without adding separate complex standardized fields, thereby improving reliability while minimizing additional complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If comprehensive service information is provided, then service availability increases, but user confusion increases
Solution Approach 1:
Service information is segmented into structured ESG fragments that can be individually processed and filtered. Each fragment contains specific service details including web addresses, allowing the terminal to selectively access only relevant services based on user profile and context. This segmentation organizes comprehensive service information into manageable, filterable units that reduce user confusion while maintaining service variety.

AI summary
Provided are apparatuses and methods for transmitting and receiving ESG fragments containing identification information. In one example, the identification identifies a mobile operator. For example, the identification information may include a Mobile Network Code (MNC), Mobile Country Code (MCC), or name corresponding to the mobile operator. In another example, the identification information may also contain a web address corresponding to a web page associated with the mobile operator. For example, the identification information received in the ESG fragment may be compared to stored identification information at a receiver. Based on the identification information in the ESG fragment and stored identification information, a corresponding web page may be provided. Also, a program or service corresponding to the ESG fragment may be filtered based on the identification information in the ESG fragment and stored identification information.
