Latest Patents

**Electronic Apparatus and Content Data Providing Method.** One described embodiment uses wireless communication to acquire metadata about content available from an external device. The apparatus uses that metadata to generate file-management information, allowing a host apparatus to recognize the content as a file stored on the apparatus. When the host requests the file, the apparatus retrieves the content from the external device and provides it to the host.

**Electronic Apparatus and Content Data Providing Method.** Another described embodiment concerns an electronic apparatus detachably connected to a host. It generates file-management information that identifies starting storage locations for content items and shared storage locations for subsequent data blocks. This arrangement enables the host to recognize each content item as a file while using shared storage locations for portions of the items.
