- Abstract
- To provide an emergency alert signaling to digital receiving devices such as Set-Top Box(STB), The Emergency Alert signaling (EAS) framework is required to allow cable operators to disseminate emergency alert information related to emergencies and warnings rapidly. However, most existing devices do not comply with the EAS requirements because it was regarded as an optional function for handling EAS messages. Therefore, many of cable operators have been adopting their own ways to provide emergency services. In this paper, we introduce an efficient method of managing and controlling emergency alert services using Common Alerting Protocol (CAP), which is XML-based data format for exchanging public warnings and emergencies between alerting technologies. This has the benefit that make increase warning effectiveness and allow a warning message to be consistently disseminated simultaneously over many STB devices.
