A method and device for creating an integrated User Interface (UI) by combining individual application UIs. The device receives application UIs from individual UI providing devices, combines the application UIs into the integrated UI, and displays the integrated UI. When an application UI is selected from the integrated UI, the device sends a function invocation signal to a corresponding device in order to perform the particular function corresponding to the selected application UI.

Method and device for creation of integrated user interface

A method for providing a client with a playlist of content segments accessible in a live streaming service provided in a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) adaptive streaming format is provided. A live content processing method for a broadcast system includes transmitting and updating content-related information sent from a server to a client, checking, at the client, content segments accessible in real time and saving a previous content-related information, retrieving the content segments playable by referencing the previous content-related information, determining, at the client, whether the content requested for playback can be playable using a playlist, and notifying the user of the playback result.

Method and apparatus for playing live content

A multimedia contents random access method for a wireless communication system is provided. The live content access method of a client in a wireless communication system according to the present invention includes receiving a request for playing a content, receiving content structure information on the content from a content transfer server, receiving content segments and random access informations of the content segments from a content provision server using the content structure information, and performing, when a random access request is received, random access to the content segments using the random access information. The content random access method of the present invention is capable of accessing the content in unit of content segment such that it is possible to access a past time point in the content even before all of the content segments are received completely.

Method and apparatus for random access to multimedia content in wireless communication system

A conditional processing method and apparatus for efficient memory management are provided. A conditional processing method includes receiving a data stream including a plurality of elements; decoding the received data stream; generating a parse tree by loading the decoded data stream; determining whether a parsingSwitch element is detected while generating the parse tree; and if the parsingSwitch element is detected, loading at least one child element of the detected parsingSwitch element in a memory, based on at least one attribute of the detected parsingSwitch element.

Conditional processing method and apparatus

A method and apparatus for processing a rich media user interface composed of a plurality of component objects that is capable of transferring information from a group of component objects having a specific function but not supporting the export of information to a group of component objects importing information only through predetermined paths through unpredictable path are provided. The method for processing content composed of user interface component objects includes receiving content including a plurality of user interface component objects, extracting exportable information which is defined to be exportable outside the content, and transferring the extracted exportable information to a target object.

Method and apparatus for processing user interface composed of component objects

A conditional processing method and apparatus for efficient memory management are provided. A conditional processing method includes generating a parse tree by loading a plurality of nodes of data structured based on a declarative description language in a memory in series; evaluating, when a parsing switch node having an attribute describing a condition for conditional processing exists among the nodes, child nodes of the parsing switch node according to the attribute; loading only the child nodes fulfilling the attribute in the memory; and outputting the child nodes retained on the memory.

A method and apparatus for activating a group widget by a widget client are provided. The method includes receiving widgets from at least one surrounding widget server, analyzing the received widgets and grouping the widgets according to the result of the analysis, generating grouped widgets as a group widget, if an event is received from a user, converting a received event into an event related to a configuration widget of a group widget, transmitting the converted event to a corresponding widget server, and receiving a processing result from the widget server which received the transmitted event.

Widget activation and communication method

A method and apparatus for transferring user information between different terminals are disclosed. The method includes saving by a first terminal, when a change is made to user information during playback of content, the changed user information in a scene history, performing a terminal change from the first terminal to a second terminal, and resuming, by the second terminal, playback of the content from a continued scene after the last scene played back by the first terminal. Consequently, in a terminal change, the user may use the second terminal to play back the same content from the continued scene using the same content usage environment as the first terminal.

Method and apparatus for transferring user information between terminals in broadcast streaming service

A method and an apparatus for receiving manifest information by a client from a broadcast involved system are provided. The method includes accessing the broadcast involved system, receiving timing information comprising a specific entry point to check the manifest information, and acquiring the manifest information from a broadcasting channel using the timing information.

Manifest mechanism in broadcast involved system

An event-processing method and system are provided for efficiently re-delivering notification events stored by a Remote User Interface Server (RUIS), from the RUIS to remote user interface clients (RUICs), in a home network supporting an RUI. An RUIC transmits an information request to the remote user interface server, receives, from the RUIS, notification event information corresponding to the information request, transmits a notification event request based on the received notification event information to the RUIS, and receives, from the RUIS, at least one notification event corresponding to the notification event request.

Event-processing method and system for a home network supporting a remote user interface

A remote user interface system and method for effectively controlling functions of a client device and remote user interface rendered on the client device by means of a client-specific or content-specific control user interface rendered on a remote control device is provided. A method for controlling a remote user interface device with a remote control device includes broadcasting, at the remote control device, a discovery message for discovering the remote user interface device; performing, when a response is received, a capability exchange and matching with the remote user interface device; rendering a control user interface transmitted by the remote user interface device and displaying the rendered control user interface on a screen; and transmitting, when an input is detected on the control user interface, a control command corresponding to the input to the remote user interface device.

Remote user interface system and method

A service provision method in an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network is provided. A service request message is transmitted from a first user terminal to a second user terminal for requesting a service. The service request message includes global identifiers (IDs) allocated to the first user terminal and the second user terminal. A service response message is transmitted from the second user terminal to the first user terminal. A service session is established between the first user terminal and the second user terminal, when the service response message is received by the first user terminal.
