METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING/RECEIVING ELECTRONIC SERVICE GUIDE IN DIGITAL VIDEO BROADCASTING SYSTME

摘要

A device and a method for transceiving an ESG(Electronic Service Guide) in a digital video broadcasting system are provided to enable a user to receive an ESG fragment corresponding to a desired language by grouping the ESG fragments to each support language. ESG data bursts are generated by grouping ESG data supporting a plurality of languages to each ESG support language. Sessions corresponding to the ESG data bursts are set up(1401). ESG configuration data including session information, which includes IP(Internet Protocol) addresses and port numbers respectively corresponding to the total session, and ESG grouping property information, which represents that the ESG data bursts are grouped to each ESG support language, are generated(1405). The ESG configuration data is broadcasted through the session and the ESG data bursts are broadcasted through the set sessions(1407).
