Abstract:
Disclosed is a method by a docking center of assisting communication between a dockee and a peripheral device to which the docking center is connected, including transmitting, as a group owner of a first group, to the dockee, information for a direct connection between the dockee and the peripheral device, receiving an assist request for setting the direct connection based on the information, transmitting a response indicating whether the assist request is accepted, receiving a release request for releasing a connections between the dockee and the docking center and between the docking center and the peripheral device, terminating control of the peripheral device, receiving a joining request for requesting to join a second group, transmitting a response for joining the second group as a client, the dockee being set as a second group owner, and operating as the group owner of the first group and the client of the second group.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for providing a content service of a control device. A first request related to a content service is received. First information for a location corresponding to the first request and second information for a session corresponding to the first request are acquired based on the first request. A second request is transmitted to a content delivery network (CDN) identified based on the first information and the second information, based on the first request
Abstract:
An apparatus and method by which a user device in a home network system transmits home-device-related information is provided. The method includes acquiring, from at least one home device, a unique user identifier (UUID) for a related home device, a peer ID (peer ID) which is managed by a connectivity server for managing a connection between the user device and the related home device and that identifies the related home device, a peer group ID for identifying a group of home devices that have registered with a service server for managing device information on the related home device, and a device token containing key information for authenticating the connection to the related home device, selecting a specific user device which will share the UUID, peerID, peer group ID and device token from among neighboring devices, and transferring the UUID, peerID, peer group ID, and device token to the specific user device on the basis of a predetermined sharing method.
Abstract:
A method and device to implement virtual docking host functionality in a wireless network is disclosed. The method manages at least one docking environment device within a wireless network. Further, the method discovers at least one docking environment and docks a dockee device to at least one docking environment device.
Abstract:
Provided is a communication method using a group key for security of a wireless docking-based service, the communication method including grouping peripheral devices for each wireless docking-based service in association with the peripheral devices and generating a group key that is effective for a time being predetermined for each group and delivering the group key of the group to clients of the group.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of managing a connection with a device for a wireless communication-based Wireless universal Serial Bus (WSB) service in a host, including controlling to create an initial channel to connect to a target device for a WSB service, considering a device class of the target device, and configured to create a new channel to substitute for the initial channel considering a particular service, at a user's request, to provide the particular service through association with the target device.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for registering a home device of a home network system in a server, the method comprising: receiving an access token from an account server managing an account for a control device; receiving a peer identifier (peer ID) identifying the home device and a peer group identifier (peer group ID) identifying a group of home devices from the control device; and logging into a connectivity server managing the connection between the home device and the control device on the basis of the access token, the peer ID, and the peer group ID.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method for managing buffers of a device for Universal Serial Bus (USB) communication in a wireless environment. The method includes determining respective current data storage levels of transmit buffers that store different types of data for USB communication; comparing the respective current data storage levels of the transmit buffers with corresponding respective predetermined threshold levels; and controlling an input rate or output rate of a first transmit buffer if it is determined based on the comparison that the first transmit buffer has a current data storage level that exceeds a predetermined threshold level.
Abstract:
A method and system for simultaneously streaming multimedia contents from plurality of sources within a group by establishing one or more Wireless Fidelity Display (WFD) sessions with a sink is disclosed. The method enables the sink to share the display screen (screen) of the sink among a first source and one or more second sources in the group to display the video of the multimedia content. The method enables the sink to select audio of the multimedia content from one among the first source and one or more second sources in the group. The method enables the sink, the first source and one or more second sources in the group to select mode of operation for streaming of the multimedia contents to the sink.
Abstract:
To solve the problems that may occur due to the leakage of user account information, the present disclosure may manage the security using the device token that is used independently of that of the server, that is generated by a home device, and that can be used for device authentication when a smart phone controls home appliances. With the use of the device token, the present disclosure may solve the problems that the status information of home appliances is exposed by another person or the home appliances are controlled by another person, even though the user account information is leaked.
