Abstract
Provided is an apparatus and method for creating device association/control information for realistic media representation. The device includes a media analyzer, a device information creator, a device parameter creator, a device attribute database, a device control information creator, and a device control stream creator. The media analyzer analyzes media to determine control values and control times for control parameters of respective devices to be associated for media reproduction. The device information creator creates device information by searching peripheral devices connected to a media reproduction device. The device parameter creator creates device parameter information by extracting controllable factors for the respective devices. The device attribute database stores the device information and the device parameter information. The device control information creator creates device control information including control values and control times for the respective device parameters. The device control stream creator creates a device control stream by converting the device control information into a stream-format binary code in the order of reproduction. Herein, one or more devices are associated according to the contents of the media. The apparatus and method can provide the optimal media representation effect by controlling peripheral devices suitably for an available environment by creating a signal for controlling the peripheral devices according to the media contents.
