Methods and apparatuses are provided for generating, managing, and sharing information related to moving-paths of a plurality of devices connected to the server. The server includes a communication interface that receives first information related to a moving path of a first device among the plurality of devices and receives second information related to a moving path of a second device among the plurality of devices, with the first device being different from the second device. A controller provides integrated history information based on the first information and the second information to at least one of the plurality of devices, with the plurality of devices being managed as a single group in the server.

Method and apparatus for generating, managing, and sharing moving path

Display screen or portion thereof with graphical user interface

A method and apparatus for controlling connection between devices is provided. The method includes detecting a first device, determining whether the first device is included in a device list, obtaining information related to the first device from a second device; and establishing a connection with the first device based on the information from the second device. The apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store a device list, a communication unit configured to detect a first device, and a control unit configured to determine whether the first device is included in the device list, obtain information related to the first device from a second device via the communication unit; and establish a connection with the first device based on the information obtained from the second device.

Method and apparatus for controlling connection between devices

A method of sharing a function via a network includes providing, to a first device, a device list including identification of a second device having a shared function which the first device is unable to perform, transmitting a response to the first device for authorizing a linkage with the first device, receiving multimedia content which is unplayable by the first device via the linkage, processing the multimedia content with the shared function to enable the first device to play the multimedia content, and transmitting result data comprising the processed multimedia content to the first device via the linkage.

Method and apparatus for sharing functions between devices via a network

Disclosed herein are methods and apparatuses for requesting and obtaining data, in which time information is generated by use of a first device, and a data request command requesting data output by a second device is generated at a time point indicated by the time information. The generated data request command is transmitted, wherein the data request command includes the time information.

Method and apparatus for requesting data, and method and apparatus for obtaining data

Provided are methods and apparatuses for providing contents via a network, in which original data of contents provided via a network can be traced, and contents that are modified according to performance of a contents receiving device is provided. Location information of original contents is added to metadata of contents provided via the network to thereby increase convenience of access to the original contents and modify attributes of contents that are provided, to be suitable for the performance of the contents receiving device.

Method and apparatus for providing and receiving contents via network, method and apparatus for backing up data via network, backup data providing device, and backup system

A method and apparatus for managing content in a processing device are provided. The content management method includes receiving information regarding first content from a first external device; and acquiring second content related to the first content based on the received information regarding the first content.

Method and apparatus for managing content in a processing device

An apparatus and method for reproducing multimedia content are provided. Content selected through user input unit is reproduced, and if it is requested that part of the reproduced content be registered as content of interest, metadata about the part of the reproduced content is generated and stored using metadata about the reproduced content. The generated metadata is generated and stored as metadata of interest about the content of interest according to input of a user input unit.

Apparatus and method for reproducing multimedia content successively in a broadcasting system based on one integrated metadata

A method of transmitting data performed by a server through a network, a method of transmitting data in an ad hoc network, a server, and a data transmitting system are provided. The method of transmitting data performed by a server through a network includes receiving and storing data from a device of a first user; detecting that a device of a second user accesses the server; selecting data from the stored data based on user information; processing the selected data to be optimized for the device of the second user; and transmitting the processed data to the device of the second user, wherein the server is configured to combine data received from a plurality of devices of the first user and transmit the combined data to the device of the second user.

Shared data transmitting method, server, and system

A method, devices, and a non-transitory recording medium for providing contents are provided. The method includes reproducing at least one content, at a first device; transmitting information corresponding to the at least one content from the first device to a second device to reproduce content corresponding to the at least one content in the second device; receiving a message from an external device while reproducing the at least one content at the first device; providing the received message while reproducing the at least one content at the first device; and transmitting information corresponding to the received message from the first device to the second device, the information corresponding to the received message being used to enable the second device to provide a message corresponding to the received message while reproducing the content corresponding to the at least one content.

Method for play synchronization and device using the same

A method and apparatus for controlling connection between devices includes detecting a first device, determining whether the first device is included in a device list, obtaining information related to the first device from a second device, and establishing a connection with the first device based on the information from the second device.

A data transmission method, a server and a data transmission system are provided. The data transmission method includes receiving data, storing data, selecting data based on device information, and transmitting the selected data, resulting in a more convenient sharing and utilization of data.
