set top box soc design methodology at stmicroelectronics
Design Automation and Test in Europe, 2003Co-Authors: Francois Remond, Pierre BricaudAbstract:In this paper we will review how the IP Reuse SoC design methodology has evolved from its first introduction, heavily based on IP Reuse to a state-of- the-art design flow based on soft and hard IP block and floorplanning tools. This will be illustrated in one complex SoC present in the broadband communication market today, which is a Set Top box IC containing a proprietary 64-bits processor and some general-purpose blocks, along with dedicated functions specifically designed by STMicroelectronics. In order to manage designs of this complexity, a top-down, block-based design style, relying on automatic floorplanning tools will be described. This design style is using the classical 'divide-and-conquer' strategy and is thus enabling a concurrent development process, guaranteeing timing convergence and correct chip assembly.

ICTC - An implementation of energy-saving set-top box
2015 International Conference on Information and Communication Technology Convergence (ICTC), 2015Co-Authors: Junghak Kim, Eui-suk Jung, Yong-tae Lee, Won RyuAbstract:This paper introduces an implementation example of a digital TV set-top box which has energy-saving capability. This energy-saving set-top box supports four types of power states: active on, active standby, deep-sleep passive standby, and off. Particularly, in the deep-sleep passive standby state, the level of power consumption of the set-top box goes down to less than 1 watt. And the set-top box can wake up from the deep-sleep passive standby state to go back to the active on state in less than 10 seconds.

ICTC - Activation pattern based standby mode scheduling for power-efficient set-top box
2015 International Conference on Information and Communication Technology Convergence (ICTC), 2015Co-Authors: Hyunho Park, Junghak Kim, Eui-suk Jung, Yong-tae Lee, Won RyuAbstract:In this paper, activation pattern based standby mode scheduling is proposed for reducing power consumption of a set-top box during standby state where a set-top box does not receive broadcast services. The set-top box with the standby mode scheduling finds mainly used time (i.e., when users mainly uses the set-top box) and seldom used time by analyzing record of its activation pattern. The set-top box saves power consumption by scheduling passive standby mode (i.e., the lowest power mode) during seldom used time, and reduces time for activating by scheduling active standby mode during mainly used time.

Home appliance control framework based on smart TV set-top box
IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, 2015Co-Authors: Junghak Kim, Eui-suk Jung, Yong-tae Lee, Won RyuAbstract:Most modern smart TV set-top boxes support internet connection and allow the user to install and run more advanced application programs or plugins/add-ons based on a specific platform. It means that a smart TV set-top box can be a good candidate to act as a hub that combines a wide variety of solutions for smart home services. This paper proposes a home appliance control framework based on a smart TV set-top box. As a core component, a home gateway software module is installed on the smart TV set-top box. And the architecture of the home gateway module is designed so that a home appliance control driver is installed only when necessary. To enable the user to control their home appliances in any place using a Web-based application or a Web browser, the proposed framework supports a WebSocket protocol-based data communication and comprises a Web server where each set-top box’s network location is registered. The proposed framework is verified with a demonstration on a small-scale home model. Both IP-based and serial communication-based home appliances are included in the demonstration system. The demonstration examples show that consumers can control various types of home appliances in any place through a smart TV set-top box solution.

ICTC - Standby mode control based on network assistance for power saving of a set-top box
2015 International Conference on Information and Communication Technology Convergence (ICTC), 2015Co-Authors: Hyunho Park, Eui-suk Jung, Yong-tae Lee, Sungwon Byon, Young-su Park, Won RyuAbstract:In this paper, standby mode control for set-top boxes based on network assistance is proposed. A set-top box with the standby mode control uses network-assisted passive standby mode that allows a set-top box to access network access during standby state where a set-top box does not receive broadcast services. The standby mode control helps a set-top box to update its software and firmware in standby state and save power consumption in standby state compared to a previous mechanism.

ICME - Architecture for a retail set-top box for multimedia delivery
IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo 2001. ICME 2001., 2001Co-Authors: Mukta L Kar, David K. Broberg, D. RaymondAbstract:The next generation digital set top boxes will be available at retail. This paper provides an overview of such a retail set-top box that can deliver multimedia content and supports a versatile yet developer friendly platform for various multimedia applications. In order to make this a reality, there are significant changes in terms of both the hardware and software architectures that are required in the set top boxes. An examination is given of the architecture needed to provide portable and interoperable set-top-boxes that function across a variety of digital cable plants. Examples showing a variety of possible implementation schemes are included. All the capabilities and flexibility's needed to provide various multimedia services cannot be provided by hardware alone. A complimentary multimedia friendly middleware is needed for such a retail set-top box. The middleware is a layer of software, also known as application platform, which makes applications transparent of host operating systems and the vendor-specific hardware. An application written once can be run on any retail settop box with such application platform with minimal or no modification. In brief this paper will present an integrated, flexible architecture with coexisting analog and digital services. This architecture allows the enhancement of existing services or the addition of new multimedia services such as DTV, HDTV, and various IP based services.
