Abstract:
Provided are method and apparatus for writing and reproducing a multimedia service using a tag in order to provide an intuitive interface for a user using a multimedia service. The method includes selecting a multimedia service to be written; generating tag information identifying the selected multimedia service; and writing the generated tag information to a tag. Accordingly, multimedia service information and content information can be stored in a tag by being written to tag information using a common format, and thus the user can later execute a service operation by easily writing information of a desired service operation to a tag and then simply connecting the tag to a tag reading device.
Abstract:
A method for joining a network according to a user command and an associated group and a device using the same whereby, if it is determined that a command to join a network is input by a user, joining a network which will be formed together with another device that receives a command to join a network and belongs to a group relevant to a group of the device, among other devices existing around the device. Accordingly, it is not necessary to search for devices to join to a network one by one and thus a network is formed more easily.
