METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ENCAPSULATING AUDIOVISUAL CONTENT STREAMS INTO MPEG2 PRIVATE SECTIONS NETWORK COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL FOR IP BASED LOCAL AREA NETWORKS INTERACTIVE APPLICATION FOR DIGITAL TELEVISION USER DEVICE CONTAINING APPLICATIONS AND METHOD FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF AUDIOVISUAL CONTENT AND DATA

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for the transmission of audiovisual content and/or data to user devices without using digital television tuning resources in that said content is encapsulated in MPEG2 private sections subsequently multiplexed and transmitted over a digital television signal. The method uses an interactive application trasmitted in a digital television signal which when executed in the digital television receiver extracts the MPEG2 private sections containing the audiovisual content and/or data from the digital television signal and using a local area network (LAN) connection forwards this audiovisual content and/or data to other user devices connected to the same local area network (LAN) as the digital television receiver. Also described is a device for the transmission of audiovisual content and/or data encapsulated in the MPEG2 private section.
