A method of generating a boot image for fast booting an image forming apparatus. In the method, a boot image is generated to contain information regarding a system state after processes that are not used to execute an operating system and at least one application are terminated. Then, the image forming apparatus is fast booted using the boot image.

Method of generating boot image for fast booting and image forming apparatus for performing the method, and method of performing fast booting and image forming apparatus for performing the method

An image forming apparatus for updating a boot image for fast booting includes an interface unit to receive a new version of firmware to update a previous version of firmware installed in the image forming apparatus, a non-volatile memory to store a first boot image that is a previous version for the fast booting, and a processor updating a boot image by controlling the stored first boot image to be replaced with a second boot image that is a new version when the received new version of firmware includes the second boot image.

An apparatus for providing available codec information, includes a receiving unit that receives electronic program guide (EPG) data transmitted by a broadcasting operator; a codec-management unit that checks the position information of the codec based on the received EPG data, and manages the point of downloading time of the codec; an interface-generation unit that generates the position information of the checked codec, and provides the information to the EPG screen; and a display unit that displays the EPG screen including the position information of the codec.

Apparatus and method for providing available codec information

An apparatus, system, and method for upgrading to a new codec used in a digital broadcasting environment are provided. The apparatus includes a first transceiver that receives a transport stream; a first parser that parses the transport stream to determine a codec packet, and decodes codec information contained therein; and a codec-comparison unit that compares the decoded codec information with existing codec information, and determines whether a codec should be downloaded. The system includes a device manufacturer that manufactures a codec packet; a broadcaster that transmits a transport stream containing the codec packet; and a rendering device that parses the transport stream, compares existing codec information with new codec information, and upgrades a codec based on the comparison. The method includes receiving a transport stream; parsing the stream; decoding new codec information; comparing the new codec information with existing information; and upgrading the codec based on the new codec information.

Apparatus and method for upgrading codec

A mobile device positioning system and a method of operating the same are provided that can reduce the power consumption of the mobile device. The position-information transmitting apparatus of the mobile device includes a data-receiving module receiving positioning data from a mobile device, a moving-speed calculation module calculating a moving speed of the mobile device according to the received data, and generating transmission time interval information to transmit the data for positioning according to the calculated moving speed, a data-transmitting module transmitting the generated transmission time interval information and the position information of the mobile device to the mobile device, and a load-adjustment module determining a load according to the mobile device having requested the position information, and adjusting the generated transmission time interval information according to the determined load.
