Digital entertainment system

Abstract

Disclosed is a digital entertainment system which can receive, store and reproduce multimedia data such as broadcasts, provide diverse communication interfaces, and exchange and share data with external appliances connected thereto. In the network printer control system, an audio and video (A / V) signal processing part receives external broadcasting signals, and outputs digital data obtained through a process of channel selection and demodulation of the broadcasting signal. A data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) and out of band (OOB) processing part provides a communication interface according to a DOCSIS standard and for an OOB service. An MPEG processing part generates standard video signals by decoding input data by a predetermined method, and outputs the generated standard video signals to any external appliances, and a system bus communicably connects the signal processing part, the DOCSIS / OOB processing part and the MPEG processing part. A control part, communicably connected to the system bus, controls an operation of the A / V signal processing part and the MPEG processing part and performs a communication through the DOCSIS and OOB processing part.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a digital entertainment system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a digital entertainment system capable of receiving, storing and reproducing multimedia data such as broadcasting, providing various communication interfaces, and exchanging and sharing data with external devices connected thereto. Background technique [0002] Today, the home information environment can be thought of as an interconnected environment. This means that stand-alone products and services form interdependent connections with each other. With the abundance of broadband connections made possible, home users are able to connect a variety of hardware and devices to the Internet, and thus increase the level of connectivity. This means that basic applications for various contents are formed. In other words, users can share various applications in addition to independent use of home applications, so users can ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, existing home entertainment systems have limitations in providing integrated connectivity between information devices, audio and video devices, digital home appliances, etc. in the home

In addition, existing home entertainment systems have limitations in exchanging or sharing multimedia data with distributed home appliances, especially with audio and video equipment

In order to solve the above-mentioned limitations, a home server based on a home network is demanded, but the home server is not yet commercially used in homes
