Abstract
Provided is a method of a media server providing broadcast content received from an outside source in a universal plug and play (UPnP) network. The method includes receiving a message from a control point requesting to change to a second channel, while transmitting broadcast content of a first channel by setting a connection for streaming with a media renderer; and transmitting the broadcast content of the second channel instead of the broadcast content of the predetermined first channel by changing a broadcasting reception of the first channel while maintaining the connection.
Claims10
A method of a media server providing broadcast content received from an outside source in a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) network, the method comprising:
- receiving from a control point a message requesting to change to a second channel, while transmitting broadcast content of a first channel by setting a connection for streaming with a media renderer;
- and
- transmitting broadcast content of the second channel instead of the broadcast content of the first channel by changing a broadcast reception of the first channel while maintaining the set connection.
A computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing a method of a media server providing broadcast content received from an outside source in a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) network, the method comprising:
- receiving from a control point a message requesting to change to a second channel, while transmitting broadcast content of a first channel by setting a connection for streaming with a media renderer;
- and
- transmitting broadcast content of the second channel instead of the broadcast content of the first channel by changing a broadcast reception of the first channel while maintaining the set connection.
A media server apparatus for providing broadcast content received from an outside source in a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) network, the media server apparatus comprising:
- a connection setter which sets a connection for streaming with a media renderer;
- a request recognizer which recognizes a message, which requests to change to a second channel, received from a control point while transmitting broadcast content of a first channel through the connection;
- and
- a channel changer which changes a broadcasting reception of the first channel while maintaining the connection so that broadcast content of the second channel is transmitted instead of the broadcast content of the first channel.
An apparatus for controlling a media server which transmits broadcasting content received from an outside source by setting a connection for streaming with a media renderer in a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) network, the apparatus comprising:
- an input unit which receives an input corresponding to one of a channel increase or a channel decrease;
- and
- a channel change request unit which requests the media server to change a broadcasting reception of a first channel while maintaining the current connection set between the media renderer, based on the received input.
A method of controlling a media server which transmits broadcast content received from an outside source by setting a connection for streaming with a media renderer in a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) network, the method comprising:
- receiving an input corresponding to one of a channel increase and a channel decrease;
- and
- requesting the media server to change a broadcasting reception of a first channel while maintaining the set connection between the media renderer and the media server, based on the received input.
A computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing a method of controlling a media server which transmits broadcast content received from an outside source by setting a connection for streaming with a media renderer in a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) network, the method comprising:
- receiving an input corresponding to one of a channel increase and a channel decrease;
- and
- requesting the media server to change a broadcasting reception of a first channel while maintaining the set connection between the media renderer and the media server, based on the received input.
