A method of collecting information of interest to a user regarding multimedia content is described. The method may include receiving first content about the information of interest to the user among the multimedia content, collecting metadata of the first content by using a uniform resource identifier (URI) of the first content, extracting at least one first information object including a schema according to a search category from the metadata, and storing the first information object in a first database.

Method and apparatus for collecting and providing information of interest to user regarding multimedia content

A method and apparatus for locating a mobile terminal by use of messages received to the mobile terminal are provided. The mobile terminal locating method may include creating at least one location related candidate for the mobile terminal by use of a message that is received to the mobile terminal, and determining a location of the mobile terminal by matching the created location related candidate to stored place information. The current location of the mobile terminal may be recognized by simply analyzing the received messages without the need for installation of additional device on the mobile terminal.

Method and apparatus for locating a mobile terminal using received messages

A method and apparatus for browsing a plurality of broadcast programs are provided. The method includes classifying a plurality of broadcast programs into one or more broadcast program groups with reference to electronic program guide (EPG) information or viewing records of a user regarding the broadcast programs, one-dimensionally arranging the broadcast programs so that the broadcast program groups are one-dimensionally arranged, displaying the broadcast programs and the broadcast program groups on a screen as a graphic image, and allowing the user to change a rule used for forming the broadcast program groups. Accordingly, it is possible to enable a user to effectively browse broadcast programs and to provide the user with a user interface customized for the user by using a simple one-dimensional input method and intuitively utilizing EPG information.

Method and apparatus for browsing broadcast programs using dynamic user interface

A semantic-based searching apparatus and method which can search for desired information from various types of media using associative properties of search target objects are provided. The semantic-based searching apparatus stores an associative search structure that previously stores a semantic index. The associative search structure is to obtain a final search object corresponding to an input search query. The semantic index configuration includes feature metadata used to identify a specific object, semantic entity metadata to indicate semantic entities corresponding to the feature metadata, and semantic relation metadata to indicate a relation between the semantic entities. The semantic-based searching apparatus uses semantic metadata stored in conformity with the semantic index configuration, the semantic index, and the associative search structure to generate a search result corresponding to the input search query.

Apparatus and method for semantic-based search and semantic metadata providing server and method of operating the same

A method of generating relevant information related to multimedia content at a client that reproduces the multimedia content includes accessing a blog service connected to the client, selecting the first content of the multimedia content, for which relevant information is to be generated, by using the blog service, generating the relevant information using a template according to the type of the relevant information generated with respect to the first content, and transmitting the generated relevant information to a server.

Method and apparatus for generating and providing relevant information related to multimedia content

A method and apparatus for synchronizing feed information are provided. A podcasting client includes a synchronization-processing unit which synchronizes first feed information acquired from a connected device with pre-stored second feed information, and a communication interface which transmits feed information of content that is podcast based on the synchronized feed information to the connected device.

Method and apparatus for synchronizing feed information

A method of providing a slide show includes selecting one of a plurality of images in which geographic position information is set, marking a plurality of positions corresponding to the plurality of images on a map based on geographic position information and outputting the map, setting an image search range on the map based on a position on the map, which corresponds to the selected image, and providing the slide show by using images corresponding to positions on the map, which belong to the set image search range.

Method and apparatus for providing slide show by using plurality of images

Provided are a synchronization identifier generating method for synchronizing digital contents and an apparatus for the same. The synchronization identifier generating method includes setting a sampling level that indicates a frequency of sampling digital contents; sampling the digital contents on the basis of the set sampling level; generating a first message digest on the basis of data sampled during the sampling the digital contents; and generating a synchronization identifier including the set sampling level and the first message digest.

Synchronization identifier generating method and apparatus for synchronizing digital contents

A slave device may be configured to receive at least one bus interface clock and bus interface signals from a bus coupled to the at least one bus interface unit. The slave device may also be configured to operate independently of at least one main function clock.
