Abstract
Disclosed are a media file reproducing system and a method thereof capable of easily reproducing a media file inside a file server that does not provide a UPnP content directory service (CDS) through a UPnP media renderer connected to a UPnP-based network. The media file reproducing method comprises: receiving position information of a filer server that provides a file transfer protocol service and a distributed file service through a media server connected to the UPnP-based network; and reproducing the media filed inside the file server through the media renderer connected to the UPnP-based network based on the position information.
Claims20
A media file playback method, comprising the steps of:
- receiving position information of a file server providing a FTP (file transfer protocol) service and/or a distributed file service through a media server connected to a UPnP(Universal Plug and Play)-based network;
- and
- playing back a medial file in the file server through a media renderer connected to the UPnP-based network based on the position information.
A media file playback method, comprising the steps of:
- receiving position information of a file server providing a FTP (file transfer protocol) service and/or a distributed file service through a media server connected to a UPnP(Universal Plug and Play)-based network;
- downloading a media file in the file server by accessing to the file server based on the position information;
- and
- playing back the downloaded media file through a media renderer connected to the UPnP-based network.
A media file playback method, comprising the steps of:
- receiving position information of a FTP (file transfer protocol) server or a distributed file server through a media server providing media contents via a UPNP-based network;
- acquiring a media file list in the file server based on the position information;
- providing the acquired media file list to a control point connected to the UPnP-based network through the media server;
- providing the address information of a media file selected by a user from the acquired media file list to a media renderer connected to the UPNP-based network under control of the control point;
- downloading the media file corresponding to the address information of the medial file selected by the user directly from the file server through the media renderer;
- and
- playing back the downloaded media file through the media renderer.
A media file playback system, comprising:
- a file server being connected to a network and providing a media file;
- a media server being connected to the network and the UPnP-based network and receiving a media file list in the file server via the network based on the position information of the-file server;
- a media renderer being connected to the network and the UPnP-based network and playing back the media file corresponding to at least one media file address registered in the media file list of the file server.
A media file playback system, comprising:
- a file server providing a FTP(file transfer protocol) service and/or a distributed file service so as to transmit first medial files via a network;
- a UPnP media server being to the above network and a UPnP-based network, providing a CDS (content directory service) transmitting the information of second medial files and acquiring a first media file list having the address information of the first media files;
- a UPnP control point being connected to the UPnP-based network, acquiring the first media file list from the media server by requesting the media server for a the first media file list and providing the address of a medial file selected by a user from the acquired first media file list;
- and
- a UPnP media renderer being connected to the UPnP-based network, downloading the media file corresponding to the above media file address directly from the file server and playing back the downloaded media file.
A media file playback system, comprising:
- a FTP (file transfer protocol) server;
- and
- a media renderer being connected to a UPnP-based network, downloading a medial file provided from the FTP server based on the position information of the FTP server and playing back the downloaded media file.
A media file playback system, comprising:
- a distributed file server;
- and
- a media renderer being connected to a UPnP-based network, downloading a medial file provided from the distributed file server based on the position information of the distributed file server and playing back the downloaded media file.
