Provided are a method and system for executing an application installed in a device, the device and a recording medium thereof. The method includes: receiving a mapping request signal for requesting a mapping between application execution information and a short run indicator, acquiring the application execution information from an execution starting point of the application up to the receiving of the mapping request signal; generating mapping information comprising a mapping of the acquired application execution information with the short run indicator; and storing the mapping information in at least one of the device and an external device.

Automatically executing application using short run indicator on terminal device

A method and apparatus for reducing power consumption in an electronic device are provided. The method includes receiving media content from a server, establishing a control state based on the media content, controlling power of at least one of a communication connection device and a display according to the control state of the received media content, determining whether a reception of the media content is completed, determining whether the electronic device performs functions for playing and controlling a digital media, transitioning a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), when it has been determined that a reception of the media content and that the functions are not performed by the electronic device, to a power save mode, and disconnecting the WLAN, when it has been determined that receiving the media content is completed and that the functions are performed by the electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises the communication connection device.

Method and apparatus for reducing power consumption in digital living network alliance network

A method and apparatus for establishing communication between a first device and a second device. In the method, the second device recognizes a mark representing the first device to establish communication with the first device, and establishes communication with the first device, based on information included in the mark.

Method and apparatus for establishing communication

A Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) system and method of providing content therein are provided. A legacy media player displays a content list for content stored in the legacy media player or in an add-in server, and when a content item is selected from the list, the legacy media player determines whether the content item is reproducible by a registered digital media renderer. If the selected content item is reproducible by the registered digital media renderer, the legacy media player transmits a reproducing request for the selected content item, and the corresponding digital media renderer receives and reproduces the selected content.

Digital living network alliance system and method for providing content therein

A method and apparatus for reducing power consumption in a DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) network is provided. A method for operating a digital media renderer to reduce power consumption in a DLNA network includes receiving media content from a digital media server, and controlling the power of a communication connection device and a display according to the control state of the received media content.
