1、 ANSI/CEA Standard OpenEPG A Specification for Electronic Program Guide Data Interchange ANSI/CEA-2033 March 2008 NOTICE Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) Standards, Bulletins and other technical publications are designed to serve the public interest through eliminating misunderstandings betwee

2、n manufacturers and purchasers, facilitating interchangeability and improvement of products, and assisting the purchaser in selecting and obtaining with minimum delay the proper product for his particular need. Existence of such Standards, Bulletins and other technical publications shall not in any

3、respect preclude any member or nonmember of CEA from manufacturing or selling products not conforming to such Standards, Bulletins or other technical publications, nor shall the existence of such Standards, Bulletins and other technical publications preclude their voluntary use by those other than C

4、EA members, whether the standard is to be used either domestically or internationally. Standards, Bulletins and other technical publications are adopted by CEA in accordance with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) patent policy. By such action, CEA does not assume any liability to any

5、patent owner, nor does it assume any obligation whatever to parties adopting the Standard, Bulletin or other technical publication. This CEA Standard is considered to have International Standardization implication, but the International Electrotechnical Commission activity has not progressed to the

6、point where a valid comparison between the CEA Standard and the IEC document can be made. This Standard does not purport to address all safety problems associated with its use or all applicable regulatory requirements. It is the responsibility of the user of this Standard to establish appropriate sa

7、fety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations before its use. (Formulated under the cognizance of the CEAs R7 Home Network Committee.) Published by CONSUMER ELECTRONICS ASSOCIATION 2008 Technology to video on demand (VOD) services; and to content stored local

8、ly on a home networked device. OpenEPG allows for aggregation of metadata provided by multiple sources such as various metadata service providers (MSPs,) including small and local MSPs (such as churches, schools, etc.), and personal metadata for content provided by a user. This standard defines the

9、format and structure of OpenEPG data fields, and it defines methods of querying OpenEPG metadata services to request subsets of the available data. Electronic versions of the complete OpenEPG XML schemas and example files can be obtained from CEA 24. This standard leverages the field structures used

10、 in the TVAnytime field set, but extends their use for the North American broadcast, cable and satellite infrastructure and conventions. This standard uses other common field structures, such MPEG-7, to the fullest extent possible. 1.2 General Capabilities This standard enables the following capabil

11、ities: Enables devices to communicate using messages based upon IP protocols. Provides mechanisms that enable applications to tune to content. Provides mechanisms that enable applications to record content. Limits complexity to allow small providers to create and define program metadata elements. Pr

12、ovides alignment with existing DLNA architecture for in-home network device interaction. Provides methods of filtering EPG data for a particular geographical area (“localization”) Provides optional methods for user and/or device authentication and secure data communications with the EPG MSP. The fol

13、lowing capabilities have been identified for future consideration. OpenEPG is a trade mark owned by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). Use of this term in descriptions of products or services conforming to this standard is permissible as long as it is accompanied by attribution. CEA-2033 2

14、Methods that facilitate alternate business models for EPG MSPs, e.g. a method of preserving advertising content. 1.3 Background and Usage Models The OpenEPG specification enables the exchange of media-content metadata between MSPs and CE equipment, and between devices on a home network through stand

15、ardized formats and protocols. The goal of the OpenEPG initiative is to stimulate innovation in the applications and user experiences that utilize this metadata and to encourage the development of a robust set of products and services that can help users navigate and enjoy the increasingly diverse m

16、edia content that is now becoming available to them. In formulating the requirements for this specification, two classes of OpenEPG use-case were considered Direct Access and Indirect Access. Figure 1 illustrates a typical Direct Access scenario: Figure 1 - Typical Direct Access Scenario Terrestrial

17、 TV Broadcaster A Broadcaster BCATV Service OpenEPG Service Metadata Service Provider Internet OpenEPG Service CEA-2033 3 The user owns multiple digital televisions (DTVs), subscribes to a Cable TV service, and receives over-the-air television programming from multiple broadcasters. The DTVs are IP-

18、enabled and are connected to a broadband Internet service via a home network. The user has also subscribed to an OpenEPG metadata service provided by a Metadata Service Provider (MSP). The user can access the MSP service directly from each DTV in the home. (Subscription mechanisms are outside the sc

19、ope of this standard.) The MSPs OpenEPG service delivers detailed EPG metadata for content available from the Cable TV service or the OTA broadcasts. Additional content sources, delivery technologies, and types of CE device can be accommodated, and the user may subscribe to more than one OpenEPG met

20、adata service. (In this case, another application would aggregate the metadata for display to the user). The user browses the received EPG metadata to make current and future viewing decisions, and may use it to facilitate scheduled recording of selected programs. Figure 2 shows a typical Indirect A

21、ccess scenario: Figure 2 Typical Indirect Access Scenario SATV Provider Supporting OpenEPG Content and OpenEPG Compatible Metadata Service SATV over the Home Network w/ OpenEPG Service Multi-stream, Network-Enabled Receiver/Server w/ OpenEPG Support CEA-2033 4 In this particular scenario, the user o

22、wns multiple digital televisions (DTVs), and subscribes to a digital satellite service (DSS) that supports home networking features and OpenEPG. The DTVs are IP-enabled and are connected to the DSS receiver via the home network. Both media content and metadata flows from the service provider to the

23、DSS receiver and is delivered to each of the DTVs via IP transport over the home network. The user browses the metadata to make current and future viewing decisions and optionally uses the metadata to facilitate scheduled recording of selected programs. The OpenEPG metadata service provides event in

24、formation as well as detailed metadata. Note that additional content receivers (renderers and/or storage devices), delivery technologies (additional satellite, OTA, or cable), and other types of CE devices could also be accommodated, and the user could receive metadata from more than one MSP. In the

25、 latter case, an application would aggregate the metadata for display to the user. Scenarios that combine direct and indirect access methodologies can also be envisioned where applications on the CE device aggregate the metadata to provide a rich user experience. 1.4 Principles of Operation See Figu

26、re 3 for an illustration of how OpenEPG is used in both direct and indirect access scenarios.
