China promulgated first consumer electronics application content Protection standard

This news by Changhong, China Institute of Electronic Standardization, including 15 enterprises and research institutes over 5 years of development of the "Digital Interface Content Protection System Technical Specification" (UCPS Standard) recently promulgated by the Ministry of Industry and Information technology.　　It is reported that UCPS standard successfully break through foreign content protection patent technology barriers, is China's consumer electronics industry has independent intellectual property rights of content protection standards, can be widely used in digital television, set-top boxes, mobile phones, mobile digital consumer electronics and other fields. The successful research and development of UCPS standard makes China's consumer electronics industry to form the core technical point of independent intellectual property rights, which breaks through the foreign patent protection barrier. Compared with similar standards, the UCPS standard is enhanced in functionality and scalability, and the UCPS itself can be defined and controlled by itself without other standards.　　At the same time, this standard will complicate the function modularization, the software, greatly reduces the development difficulty and the chip scale, and through introduces the new security technology, causes the security to increase 4 order of magnitude. China Institute of Electronic Technology Standardization research people pointed out that with the current domestic sales of digital products, if all the use of foreign digital content protection technology, only digital TV, set-top boxes, mobile phones and other industries will pay foreign enterprises annually more than 248 million U.S. dollars, if the annual fee, test certification fees, etc. The cost is higher.　　In addition, the use of foreign content protection technology is equivalent to exposing all of our information to foreign related enterprises, seriously threatening the national information security. From the global perspective, the use of technical means to implement content protection is the general trend of safeguarding the healthy development of the content industry, conducive to the expansion of consumer electronic products market. Experts believe that the promulgation and implementation of UCPS standards is conducive to easing the domestic enterprises in the field of digital interface royalties pressure, will be from the terminal equipment level to promote the integration of three networks in digital television, mobile phones, mobile multimedia and other terminal environment applications and industrialization, resulting in new value-added services and integrated applications business.
