Abstract
A host apparatus, a device, and a method to setup a folder share service. A controller to control displaying a user interface (UI) screen to select a device using the folder share service and a shared folder, and a UI screen to set permissions of the selected shared folder corresponding to at least one added user account and to set store options of a file to be stored to the shared folder in a display. A first communication portion transmits setup information of the user account to the device.
Claims21
A host apparatus to setup a folder share service, the host apparatus comprising:
- a display;
- a controller to control displaying a user interface (UI) screen to select a device using the folder share service and a shared folder, and a UI screen to set permissions of the selected shared folder corresponding to at least one added user account and to set store options of a file to be stored to the shared folder in the display;
- and
- a first communication portion to transmit setup information of the user account to the device.
A device to setup a folder share service, the device comprising:
- a second confirmer to confirm an Internet protocol (IP) and a port number used by a host apparatus using a network address of the host apparatus received from the host apparatus to serve as a server;
- a second communication portion to connect to a first communication portion using the confirmed IP and port number;
- a second storage to store modified setup information and the network address;
- and
- a third confirmer to access a shared folder of the host apparatus using the modified setup information and checking whether reading and writing are permitted in the shared folder,
- wherein, when the device fails to read and write, the host apparatus modifies permissions to allow the reading and the writing.
A folder share service setup method, the method comprising:
- selecting a device using a folder share service and a shared folder of a server;
- setting, at the server, permissions of the selected shared folder corresponding to a user account and setting store options of a file to be stored to the folder;
- and
- transmitting setup information for the user account to the device.
A folder share service setup method, the method comprising:
- confirming an Internet protocol (IP) and a port number of a host apparatus using a network address received from the host apparatus which serves as a server;
- connecting, at a device, to the host apparatus using the confirmed IP and port number;
- accessing a shared folder of the host apparatus using modified setup information and checking whether reading and writing are allowed in the shared folder;
- when the reading and the writing are not allowed, modifying, at the host apparatus, permissions to allow the reading and the writing;
- and
- setting the modified setup information to the device.
A method of setting up a folder share service, the method comprising:
- requesting a controller to generate one or more user interfaces;
- generating the one or more user interfaces;
- automatically setting permissions to allow reading and writing of a shared folder based on input through the one of the user interface by a user;
- setting store options of a file based on input through an other user interface by the user;
- and
- determining whether a request is made for verification of availability of the folder share service such that:
- transmitting the permissions and the file store options to a device when a determination is made that the request was not made;
- and
- controlling a verifier to perform the verification and requesting the verification to the device when the determination is made that the request was made.
