The design of the packaging contents authoring and consuming system for IPTV application service

A feature of current IPTV service is that the IPTV provider purchases the rights of contents from author of the content and serves those to consumer monopolistically. In this environment, IPTV is indistinguishable from the way of old broadcasting service. To shift away from this structure, it is necessary to guarantee the common user's participation like User Create Contents (UCC) and provide the open IPTV service that can give more opportunities to select the contents. Moreover, there are some problems to conduct open IPTV service due to a variety of rights protection solutions designed by previous digital broadcast providers. So we need to define a new framework that can be used in overall open IPTV environment. We design packaging contents authoring and consuming system for IPTV application service based on open IPTV.
