Abstract:
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method of controlling streaming media data using a streaming control device includes accessing, via the streaming control device, a plurality of media data stored in a media server, displaying, via a touchscreen of the streaming control device, a first object including the plurality of media data, receiving a first command selecting a particular media data among the plurality of media data from the first object, searching for media playback devices to reproduce the particular media data based on a position of the streaming control device, displaying, via the touchscreen, a third object for representing the searched media playback devices, receiving a second command selecting a particular media playback device among the searched media playback devices from the third object, and controlling the particular media playback device to reproduce the particular media data.
Abstract:
A defect area management method of an optical recording medium is disclosed. The present method is capable of managing a defective areas by storing information of defective blocks in the user block upon formatting as well as information of defective replacement blocks by extension of the user area by slipping.
Abstract:
According to the present disclosure, there is provided a method of transferring content between a plurality of devices, and devices using the method. The method may include acquiring content at a first device, acquiring tag information associated with the content, adding the tag information to the content, the tag information including identification of a second device as a destination for the content, determining a cloud storage device on a cloud storage network associated with the second device based on the tag information, and transmitting the content to the cloud storage device associated with the second device.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a recording medium and apparatus and method for managing defective areas in the recording medium. According to an embodiment, the method includes (a) reading a defect management information recorded on a defect management area, the defect management information including second information specifying a location of a replacement area to replace the defective area and status information specifying whether or not the defective area is replaced; (b) identifying the defect management information; and (c) controlling a writing operation according to the result of step (b).
Abstract:
A method of controlling a mobile device and which includes wirelessly communicating, via a wireless communication unit of the mobile terminal, with other devices existing in a network including the mobile terminal; displaying, on a display unit of the mobile terminal, a multimedia file display region displaying contents existing in one of the devices in the network including the mobile device; and displaying, on the display unit, a reproduction control region including a first region displaying a first reproduction device for reproducing a first content selected from the multimedia file display region, and a second region for displaying the reproduced first content.
Abstract:
A system of recording or reading data are discussed. According to an embodiment, the system includes: a host device transmitting a write or read command and data to be written or receiving data based on the read command; and a recording/reproducing device, operatively coupled to the host device via interface, controlling a write or read operation in response to the write or read command the from the host device. The recording/reproducing device includes, a pickup for writing or reading data to or from medium, and a controller for determining whether the data requires a real time recording or producing, controlling a recording or reading operation such that a defective block is replaced with a spare block of the spare area, based upon the determination.

Abstract:
An optical recording medium record/playback apparatus manages defective areas in a rewritable optical recording medium. A linear replacement control (LRC) bit is added to a secondary defective list (SDL) entry to discriminate defective block information listed in the SDL entry, according to a linear replacement algorithm, from defective block information listed at the SDL entry, according to a skipping algorithm. This allows the apparatus to transmit correct information to a host. When a defective block requiring a new replacement block is found during recording or playing back data and the spare area is full, instead of carrying out the linear replacement, the LRC bit is set in the SDL entry, along with the location information of the defective block. This indicates that the SDL entry was made when the spare area was full. Thus, data is not written in, or read from, the defective block.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an optical recording medium and optical recording medium record/playback apparatus and method, for managing defective areas in a rewritable optical recording medium. Particularly, the present invention adds a linear replacement control (LRC) bit to a secondary defective list (SDL) entry to discriminate a defective block information that is listed at the SDL entry according to a linear replacement algorithm from a defective block information that is listed at the SDL entry according to a skipping algorithm. This allows the optical recording medium record/playback apparatus to transmit correct information to a host. Furthermore, when a defective block requiring a new replacement block is found while recording or playing back data when the spare area is full, instead of carrying out the linear replacement, the LRC bit is set in the SDL entry along with the location information of the defective block to indicate that the corresponding SDL entry was made when the spare area was full, whereby data is not written in the defective block or data of the defective block is not read when rewriting or reproducing the data afterward. Consequently, the present invention can provide efficient management over the optical recording medium.
Abstract:
A mobile terminal is allowed to automatically reproduce contents by a user-desired device based on its own position and orientation. A method for controlling contents reproduction in a mobile terminal includes acquiring at least one of position and orientation of the mobile terminal, selecting one of a plurality of external devices based on the acquired at least one of the position and the orientation, the plurality of external devices being capable of reproducing contents at different positions, respectively, and transmitting a signal to the selected one external device for controlling the selected one external device to reproduce the contents.
