A method and apparatus for utilizing DVD content through a home network are provided. The method includes transmitting item information indicating DVD content in response to a request for a content list, and receiving a request for the DVD content in units of a sector from a client having acquired the item information, and extracting and transmitting data of the requested sector to the client. Various functions provided by the DVD video can be utilized similar to reproducing DVD content through a local DVD player while reproducing DVD content stored in a remote server through devices of a home network. Therefore, it is possible to reduce concerns of the DVD copyrighter about illegal copying of the content since encoded data is transmitted as it is, without being decoded.

Method and apparatus for utilizing DVD content through home network

A semiconductor device with flash memory includes; a log type determining unit configured to select log type from among a plurality of log types with respect to a log block storing program data requested to be programmed in the flash memory and generate a control signal indicating information indicating the selected log type, and a plurality of log units configured to store program data in the log block having a corresponding log type in response to the control signal, wherein the log type determining unit converts a first type log block formed by a first log type and included in a first type log unit from among the plurality of log units into second type log block formed by a second log type and converts the log block included in a second type log unit from among the plurality of log units into the first type log blocks, the first log type being different from the second log type.

Semiconductor device comprising flash memory and address mapping method

An apparatus and method capable of purchasing external charged content in a UPnP network are provided. A media server (MS) provides a media renderer (MR) with a URL that executes a CGI that that performs purchasing of a charged content included in an external server, and, if the MR requests the reproduction of content corresponding to the URL, the MS executes a CGI of the URL, purchases charged content corresponding to the URL, and downloads the charged content, thereby browsing a list of contents provided by an external contents purchase site through a consumer electronic device such as a digital television, in which a UPnP audio/visual control point is mounted without a separate interface, purchasing desired content, and reproducing the purchased content.

Method and apparatus for obtaining external charged content in UPnP network

A method and system are provided for allocating a dynamic advertisement according to audience ratings. The method includes selecting an advertisement broadcast to be transmitted based on broadcast viewing information of users and a transmission condition, and providing the selected advertisement broadcast.

System and method of dynamically allocating advertisement according to audience rating

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for outputting a user interface (UI) event of a 3rd party device in a home network having a server, a client and a control point, the server and the client joining a UI session by using a remote protocol, the control point controlling the server and the client. The method includes (a) receiving by the control point a UI event message from the 3rd party device not joined in the UI session, the UI event message representing change in a state of the 3rd party device, (b) selecting by the control point a target client for processing a UI event, (c) transmitting by the control point an Out-of-session connect action message (OOSConnect Action) requesting connection setup with the 3rd party device to the selected target client, and (d) transmitting by the target client a permission message for the OOSConnect Action to the control point, thereby setting an Out-of-session connection OOSConnect with the 3rd party device and processing the UI event.

Method and apparatus for outputting a user interface (UI) event of 3rd party device in home network

Provided are an apparatus, system and method for providing an Internet print service in a home network, more particularly, an apparatus, system and method for more conveniently providing an Internet print service via a UPnP printer in a home network.
