    摘要: An apparatus and a method for managing a storage space through time-variant consumption estimation. More particularly, an apparatus and a method for managing a storage space through time-variant consumption estimation that estimates consumption of an entire storage space when a user instructs program editing, program recording or reserved recording, and so on. When there is a possibility that the estimated consumption exceeds a predetermined value, immediately providing a user with information indicating that the storage space is lacking. The apparatus includes a storage unit storing contents in the storage space, a consumption estimation unit estimating time-variant consumption of the storage space, a contents management unit deleting at least a portion of the contents or storing at least a portion of additionally input contents according to the estimation result, and an output unit outputting the deletion or storage result.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for browsing a plurality of broadcast programs are provided. The method includes classifying a plurality of broadcast programs into one or more broadcast program groups with reference to electronic program guide (EPG) information or viewing records of a user regarding the broadcast programs, one-dimensionally arranging the broadcast programs so that the broadcast program groups are one-dimensionally arranged, displaying the broadcast programs and the broadcast program groups on a screen as a graphic image, and allowing the user to change a rule used for forming the broadcast program groups. Accordingly, it is possible to enable a user to effectively browse broadcast programs and to provide the user with a user interface customized for the user by using a simple one-dimensional input method and intuitively utilizing EPG information.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for synchronizing EPG information between a server and a client in a digital broadcasting network are provided. The server updates synchronization files according to information which is modified after a last synchronization file is created according to the update of the server-side EPG information, creates a synchronization file according to information which is modified after the last synchronization file is created, and transfers a synchronization file to one of the clients, where the synchronization file is created first after the EPG information pieces of the clients are updated among from the synchronization files stored in the clients. Accordingly, the server and the client can be easily synchronized with each other by transferring or receiving only one file, since all synchronization files can include the latest update history by transferring only one synchronization file.
