Abstract:
The present invention relates to a technique of allowing a client to stream the content of a server. A service installed at a client instead of a media player receives a content from a server and downloads the content at a mass cache instead of the memory buffer of the media player, and then transfer data stored in the cache to the media player. According to the present invention, even when a memory buffer is fully filled, data reception from a server is not stopped, thereby reducing the power consumption of the server and the client. A service instead of a media player to access a server is executed, thereby supporting various socket interfaces without changing the media player. Data is stored in a cache, thereby reducing a buffering time.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus of a control point for performing the device discovery operation, and a method thereof are provided to create an M-SEARCH(Method for SEARCH requests) message reflecting a present network situation, thereby enabling users to search devices stably and quickly. CONSTITUTION: A control unit (701) sets an MX(MaXimum time for waits) value for performing the device discovery operation. A communication module (702) transmits a message including the set MX value to at least one device which is connected to a control point. The communication module receives a response message for the M-SEARCH message from the at least one device. The response message indicates the connection status of the device and is received from the at least one device at an arbitrary time within the range of the set MX value.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: An area recognition apparatus of a portable terminal and method thereof are provided to reduce installation costs of an indoor recognition apparatus by enabling a user to confirm area information at indoor. CONSTITUTION: An area confirmation unit(102) includes a fingerprint collection unit(113), an image acquisition unit(117), a storage unit(119), a fingerprint comparing unit(121), and an image comparing unit(123). The storage unit stores a first image and a first earth magnetic filed component. The finger print comparing unit compares the first earth magnetic filed component and a second earth magnetic field component. The finger print comparing unit grasps the location of a portable terminal. The image comparing unit grasps a final location by comparing the first image with the second image.

본 발명은 무선 네트워크의 채널 설정 방법 및 장치에 관한 것으로서, 무선 네트워크에서 접속점(AP: Access Point)의 채널 설정 방법은, 적어도 하나의 인접 AP로부터 사용 중인 채널 정보를 포함하는 신호를 수신하는 과정과, 상기 적어도 하나의 인접 AP가 사용 중인 채널 정보를 바탕으로 상기 AP의 채널을 설정하는 과정을 포함하여, 사용자의 제어 없이도 주변 채널 환경의 변화에 따라 간섭이 적은 채널을 이용하여 통신할 수 있으며, 이에 따라 무선 네트워크의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A terminal and a storage space extension method thereof are provided to prevent a disconnection phenomenon of content by extending buffer which is necessary to reproduce the content by using an accessed external memory. CONSTITUTION: An interface(104) connects to one or more external memories. An external memory measuring unit(106) measures usage statement or available capacity of the external memory connected through the interface. A storage determination unit(108) determines whether content is stored in the external memory based on a value measured by the external memory measuring unit. When the external memory stores the content, a transmission control unit(110) controls the transmission of the content through the interface.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A channel structuring method of a wireless network and apparatus thereof are provided to offer the wireless network to set a channel after considering a circumferential channel situation. CONSTITUTION: A communication unit(400) receives a signal including the channel information in use from at least one adjacent AP(Access Point). A control unit(410) sets the channel of the AP based on the channel information. The control unit selects a channel with the least interference by the adjacent AP based on the channel information which at least one adjacent AP is in use. After setting the channel of the AP, the communication unit broadcasts a signal including the channel information which is set by the control of the control unit.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A two-way pairing apparatus between apparatuses and method thereof are provided to directly analyze each apparatus by operating an inherent indicator. CONSTITUTION: A first apparatus(600) searches connectable neighbor apparatuses. The first apparatus displays a list of the searched connectable neighbor apparatuses. When one of the connectable neighbor apparatuses is selected, the first apparatus transmits an indicator operation request message to the selected apparatus. The selected apparatus operates an indicator by receiving the indicator operation request message.
