Provided are a method and apparatus for providing and using content advisory (CA) information on Internet contents. A method of providing CA information by using a CA information server, includes receiving a request for the CA information on a content, from an Internet Protocol television (IPTV); searching for CA information on the content; and transmitting the found CA information to the IPTV. A method of using CA information when an IPTV reproduces a content not having the CA information, according to the present invention, includes transmitting a request for CA information, to a CA information server; receiving the CA information from the CA information server; analyzing the CA information; and applying the CA information.

Method and apparatus for providing and using content advisory information on internet contents

A content sharing method includes: selecting, by a content sharing terminal, content; transmitting, by the content sharing terminal, identification information of the selected content to an external device; and reproducing, by the content sharing terminal, the selected content while the external device is reproducing the selected content based on the identification information.

Method and terminal for sharing content

A method and apparatus for providing a trick play service in a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) adaptive streaming (HAS) architecture for adaptively streaming media data according to fluctuation of a streaming environment are provided. The method at a server includes: generating a media presentation description (MPD) file including information about at least one piece of trick play data; transmitting the MPD file to a client; and transmitting the at least one piece of trick play data to the client in response to a request by the client based on the MPD file. The method at a client includes: receiving a media presentation description (MPD) file including information about at least one piece of trick play data; and receiving the at least one piece of trick play data from a server based on the MPD file.

Method and apparatus for providing trick play service

A terminal apparatus provides shared profile information that is selectively received from a server based on a relationship between a first user and a second user, according to whether information of the second user is stored in the terminal apparatus of the first user as local profile information and information of the first user is stored in the terminal apparatus of the second user as the local profile information. Accordingly, a phonebook service for desired profile information is provided only for users in a buddy relationship sharing contact information with each other.

Terminal apparatus and server and method of controlling the same

A method and apparatus for adaptively transmitting and receiving media data to a streaming environment by segmenting into segments a plurality of media data, which is generated by encoding content to have different qualities.

Method and apparatus for adaptive streaming using segmentation

A method, a system, an apparatus, and a computer readable medium storing instructions for tagging information about an object included in an image to the image. The tagging information is used for searching for the image. The method includes detecting one or more objects included in a displayed image. The method also includes receiving, from a user, information about the detected object, and tagging the received information to the displayed image.

Method and system for tagging information about image, apparatus and computer-readable recording medium thereof

Terminal apparatus, server and method of controlling the same

A user terminal includes an inputter which receives a user command, a display, a communicator configured to communicate with an external server, and a controller configured to create a first rule in which the user terminal performs a first action when a first condition is met in another first user terminal, control the communicator to transmit the created first rule to the external server, and perform the first action according to an event command when the event command to perform the first action is received from the external server upon the first condition being met in the first user terminal.

User terminal, rule executing method thereof, server apparatus and rule executing system

A method and apparatus for performing streaming that is adaptive to a streaming environment, using information about a plurality of media data generated by encoding content to have different qualities.

Adaptive streaming method and apparatus

Provided are a method and apparatus for receiving and providing data. The method of receiving data includes: receiving first information including information about a first interval of a plurality of media data generated by encoding content in different qualities; acquiring renewal time information indicating a point of time for a first file to be renewed by using the first information; and receiving second information comprising information about a second interval of the plurality of media data based on the renewal time information.

Method and apparatus for providing and receiving data

A method and apparatus for reproducing media data are provided. The method includes: receiving a first file including information about a period of first content and information about a period of second content; receiving and reproducing media data of the first content based on the received first file; stopping reproducing of the media data of the first content and receiving and reproducing media data of the second content based on the first file; and receiving and reproducing the media data of the first content when the reproducing the media data of the second content is completed, wherein the information about the period of the second content includes location information about the second media data of the second content or location information of a second file including the location information about the second media data of the second content.

Streaming method and apparatus operating by inserting other content into main content

A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving data are provided. In the method of receiving data, at least one of a plurality of media data generated by encoding content to have different qualities is received, the plurality of media data each including at least one segment; location information indicating a randomly accessible point of each of the at least one segment is obtained; and random accessing is provided on the received media data, based on the location information.
