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

A method for broadcasting contents and a device using the same are provided. The method for broadcasting contents includes displaying a host content window in which a first content is displayed, and displaying an application window in which a second content is displayed, the second content being provided by an application which is executed in the device, where only the first content among the first content and the second content is broadcast to an external device connected to the device.

Content broadcast method and device adopting same

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

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 metadata tagging system, an image searching method, a device, and a gesture tagging method are provided. The metadata tagging system includes a first device which tags metadata to an image and transmits the image tagged with the metadata and a second device which allows at least one image from among stored images to be searched. Accordingly, generated data may be searched and used more easily and conveniently.

Metadata tagging system, image searching method and device, and method for tagging a gesture thereof

A method for controlling a home network system using a mobile terminal is provided, which includes the mobile terminal connecting to a gateway of a home network through a communication network, the mobile terminal receiving a list of devices which are connected to the home network from the gateway of the home network, the mobile terminal displaying the devices connected to the home network, if one of the displayed devices is selected, requesting the status information of the selected device from the selected device status information of the selected device through the gateway, receiving the status information of the selected device from the selected device, and displaying the received status information and a user interface for controlling the selected device.

Method and apparatus for controlling home network system using mobile terminal

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 for changing a communication network for video communication is provided. The method includes performing, by a user equipment (UE), video communication through a mobile communication network; searching for whether there is a wireless local area network (WLAN) accessible by the UE; displaying, if a WLAN accessible by the UE is found, the accessible WLAN; and when the displayed WLAN is selected by a user, changing a communication network for the video communication to perform the video communication through the selected WLAN.
