A method of effectively managing information shared by synchronizing between a plurality of Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) devices is provided. According to the method, all devices exchange version information of the devices at initial synchronization, and when shared information stored in some of the devices is changed, a device changing shared information transmits new version information to the other devices via an event message, so that all of the devices can maintain the latest shared information. Also, by having a counter indicating an update state of respective parts of shared information, when shared information is changed by a plurality of the UPnP devices, it is easy to recognize which part from among the respective parts of the shared information is the latest.

A method of synchronizing a plurality of content-directory service (CDS) devices is provided. The method includes retrieving and discovering N CDS devices in a home network by a control point (CP), transmitting a StartSync message that requests the start of synchronization to a certain CDS device of the N CDS devices by the CP, forwarding a StartPeerSync message that informs remaining N-1 CDS devices of the fact that synchronization will be started by the CDS device that has received the StartSync message, and synchronizing each of the N CDS devices with the remaining N-1 CDS devices, in a home network that includes N CDS devices that provide metadata of multimedia content existing in the home network, and the CP that receives metadata from the N CDS devices and requests the media renderer to replay the multimedia data.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for synchronizing a content directory service (CDSs) of a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) device. In the method, a CDS, whose content is modified, generates an event message containing information of the modification of the content, and multicasts the event message to a UPnP network. Other CDSs that receive the event message update their content based on the event message. Accordingly, a control point is not required to initiate and does not intervene in a process of synchronizing a plurality of CDSs, thereby reducing load on a memory or a central processing unit (CPU) of the control point, compared to conventional UPnP synchronization of devices. Further, an action of a CDS need not be repeatedly called, thereby reducing network traffic.

An apparatus and method for controlling a dispersion recording and playback of a moving picture are provided. The apparatus which controls a dispersion record of a moving picture includes, a recording unit that generates a record schedule when a predetermined moving picture is reserved-recorded, generates a reserved-recording-object when it is a reserved-recording time, and dispersedly records the moving picture in another storage device if an error occurs due to insufficient storage space when the moving picture is recorded; a recording-device-selecting unit that selects a recording device based on the preferences of storage devices before the moving picture is reserved-recorded, and a CDS-managing unit that manages recording information of the recorded moving picture, information of moving picture that has been recorded and the recording device.
摘要:
An apparatus, system and method for executing discovery in a network are provided. The system for executing discovery in a network is configured with a SyncML server and a SyncML client, and includes a SyncML server that transmits a multicast search message to the SyncML client in order to search for a SyncML client that exists in a network, and executes a data synchronization with the found SyncML client, and a SyncML client that transmits a notify-alive message to the SyncML server in order to notify that the SyncML client exists in a network, and executes a synchronization with the SyncML server.

Provided is a method for synchronizing contents included in devices in a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) network. A control point device, which contains local content but cannot provide a content directory service, converts information regarding content objects of the control point device into Digital Item Description Language Lite (DIDL-Lite) format, and manages a mapping table, thereby performing synchronization with a device such as a UPnP media server providing a content directory service, without loading a separate protocol stack.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for preventing duplicate saving of a resource between universal plug and play (UPnP) devices, which provide content directory service during content synchronization, are provided. The method includes receiving a change log including metadata about a changed resource from a UPnP device of a transmitter, determining whether the changed resource is a duplicate based on the received change log, and receiving and saving the changed resource according to a designated saving path based on a result of the determination.
