Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for transmitting content in a portable terminal are provided. The method includes searching for devices, to each of which content is to be transmitted, by a first communication module, and displaying information indicating devices discovered as a result of the search; determining, when a particular portable terminal to which the content is to be transmitted is selected among the displayed information, whether the selected particular portable terminal is currently performing a communication connection with another portable terminal; requesting and receiving, through a second communication module, in response to determining that the particular portable terminal is currently performing the communication connection with the another portable terminal, an address of a device matched to a selected transmission method; and making a communication connection with the particular portable terminal; transmitting the content to the particular portable terminal, through a third communication module matched to the selected transmission method.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for converging IoT technology with a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4G system, and a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology (e.g. smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, etc.). A method for receiving image data for a virtual-reality streaming service by an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a step in which the electronic device determines whether to execute an adaptive virtual-reality streaming service on the basis of a bandwidth state; and a step in which, if it is determined to execute the adaptive virtual-reality streaming service, the electronic device requests and receives, from a server, the image data for the adaptive virtual-reality streaming service on the basis of head-tracking information and bandwidth information collected in advance.
