Abstract
A method and apparatus of generating and storing bookmark information regarding a point of time during reproduction of audio/video (AV) content are provided. The information storage apparatus includes: a browser driver which drives a browser, the browser including an application programming interface (API) which generates information regarding a point of time according to reproduction of audio/video (AV) content; and a storage unit which stores the information regarding the point of time, wherein the API generates the information regarding the point of time by receiving metadata regarding the point of time from an application program related to the reproduction of the AV content, and matching the metadata with an identifier of the AV content.
Claims22
An information storage apparatus comprising:
- a browser driver which drives a browser, the browser comprising an application programming interface (API) which generates information regarding a point of time according to reproduction of audio/video (AV) content;
- and
- a storage unit which stores the information regarding the point of time,
- wherein the API generates the information regarding the point of time by receiving metadata regarding the point of time from an application program related to the reproduction of the AV content, and matching the metadata with an identifier of the AV content.
An information reading apparatus comprising:
- a storage unit which stores information regarding a point of time, which is generated according to reproduction of audio/video (AV) content;
- and
- a browser driver which drives a browser, the browser comprising an application programming interface (API) which reads the information regarding the point of time,
- wherein the information regarding the point of time is generated by receiving metadata regarding the point of time from the application program and matching the metadata with an identifier of the AV content, and
- wherein the API transmits the metadata, from among the read information regarding the point of time, to an application program related to the reproduction of the AV content.
An information storage method comprising:
- receiving metadata regarding a point of time determined according to reproduction of audio/video (AV) content from an application program related to the reproduction of the AV content;
- generating information regarding the point of time by matching the received metadata with an identifier of the AV content;
- and
- storing the generated information regarding the point of time in a storage device.
An information reading method comprising:
- receiving a request to read information regarding a point of time, which is generated according to reproduction of audio/video (AV) content, from an application program related to the reproduction of the AV content;
- reading the information regarding the point of time from a storage device, in response to the received request;
- and
- extracting metadata regarding the point of time from the information regarding the point of time, and transmitting the extracted metadata to the application program,
- wherein the information regarding the point of time is generated by receiving the metadata from the application program and matching the metadata with an identifier of the AV content.
An information reading apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a browser driver which drives a browser, the browser comprising an application programming interface (API) which receives information regarding a point of time, which is generated according to reproduction of audio/video (AV) content,
- wherein the information regarding the point of time is generated by receiving metadata regarding the point of time from the application program and matching the metadata with an identifier of the AV content, and
- wherein the API transmits the metadata, from among the read information regarding the point of time, to an application program related to the reproduction of the AV content.
