Abstract
An apparatus and method for sharing contents are provided. The apparatus and method may store contents; receive a selection signal for content selected from among the contents; classify the selected content into groups; and generate a service code for each respective group.
Claims20
An apparatus for sharing contents, the apparatus comprising:
- a storage unit configured to store contents;
- a content selector configured to receive a selection signal for content selected from among the stored contents;
- a group generator configured to classify the selected content into one or more groups;
- and
- a code generator to generate a service code for each respective group.
A content sharing server, the server comprising:
- a connector configured to check whether synchronization with a terminal is performed, the terminal being configured to maintain a service code for contents;
- a service code checker configured to:
- check a service code generation history;
- and
- determine whether a new service code is generated, when the synchronization with the terminal is performed;
- and
- a content uploading unit configured to upload the service code and contents associated with the service code, when the new service code is determined to have been generated.
A method for sharing contents, the method comprising:
- storing contents;
- receiving a selection signal for content selected from among the contents;
- classifying the selected content into groups;
- and
- generating a service code for each respective group.
A method for sharing contents, the method comprising:
- checking whether a synchronization with a terminal is performed, wherein the terminal maintains a service code for contents;
- checking a service code generation history and determining whether a new service code is generated, when the synchronization with the terminal is performed;
- and
- uploading the service code and the contents associated with the service code, when the new service code is determined to be generated.
A computer-readable storage medium having stored therein program instructions configured to cause a processor to perform a method for sharing contents, the method comprising:
- storing contents;
- receiving a selection signal for content selected from among the contents;
- classifying the selected content into groups;
- and
- generating a service code for each respective group.
