Abstract
A method of reproducing multimedia contents in a mobile communication environment is provided. The method comprises configuring a first mobile terminal connected to at least a second mobile terminal in a communication network to download a content file from a remote content server; synchronizing the first mobile terminal with the second mobile terminal to download the content file in at least first and second segments; and downloading the first segment to the first mobile terminal and the second segment to the second mobile terminal.
Claims24
A method of downloading multimedia contents in a mobile communication environment, the method comprising:
- configuring a first mobile terminal connected to at least a second mobile terminal in a communication network to download a content file from a remote content server;
- synchronizing the first mobile terminal with the second mobile terminal to download the content file in at least first and second segments;
- and
- downloading the first segment to the first mobile terminal and the second segment to the second mobile terminal.
A method of reproducing multimedia contents in a mobile communication environment, the method comprising:
- configuring a first mobile terminal connected to at least a second mobile terminal in a communication network to download a content file from a remote content server;
- synchronizing the first mobile terminal with the second mobile terminal to download the content file in at least first and second segments;
- and
- streaming the first segment to the first mobile terminal and the second segment to the second mobile terminal.
A system for reproducing multimedia contents in a mobile communication network, the system comprising:
- a main mobile terminal for reproducing a content file received from a content server connected to the mobile communication network, wherein a plurality of sub-mobile terminals are synchronized with the main mobile terminal for reproducing the content file in accordance with reproduction data received by the main mobile terminal,
- the content file divisible into a plurality of content file segments, and the main mobile terminal and the plurality of sub-mobile terminals each determining start and end positions of the plurality of content file segments in accordance with size of the content file,
- whereby the main mobile terminal and the plurality of sub-mobile terminals download the content file in a distributed manner by each of the sub-mobile terminals respectively downloading a corresponding content file segment.
A system for reproducing multimedia contents in a mobile communication network, the system comprising:
- a main mobile terminal for reproducing a content file received from a content server connected to the mobile communication network, wherein a plurality of sub-mobile terminals are synchronized with the main mobile terminal for reproducing a content file in accordance with reproduction data received by the main mobile terminal from a content server,
- the reproduction data allowing the main mobile terminal and the plurality of sub-mobile terminals each determining start and end streaming times for a plurality of content file segments in accordance with total reproduction time of the content file,
- whereby the main mobile terminal and the plurality of sub-mobile terminals stream the content file in a distributed manner by each of the sub-mobile terminals respectively streaming a corresponding content file segment according to start and end streaming times.
