MPEG-7 based service guide for mobile TV

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we propose MPEG-7 based Electronic Service Guide (ESG) within Multimedia Broadcast Multicast System (MBMS). Our prototype covers OMA BCAST ESG fragments defined for MBMS and extends content fragment of ESG by MPEG-7. In order to demonstrate the usefulness of our approach, we implement a test application that provides a multimedia query for MBMS services and sessions, and retrieve a tree view of available services and a categorized view according to the genre grouping criteria.
