Abstract
The present invention relates to a computing apparatus and to a method for providing a user application to be executed in a media playback apparatus. According to the present invention, the computing apparatus executes a developer application, and tests a user application in the media playback apparatus which is connected to the computer apparatus through a network. Thus, applications stored in a plurality of computing apparatuses can be tested using a single media playback apparatus.
Claims14
A computing apparatus comprising:
- an application providing program;
- one or more user applications to be executed in a media playback apparatus;
- a storage device storing the application providing program and the user applications;
- a processor generating the user applications and executing the application providing program;
- and
- a communication unit communicating with the media playback apparatus under the control of the processor,
- wherein the application providing program comprises:
- a first instruction for transmitting information about the one or more user applications to the media playback apparatus in response to a user application information request received from the media playback apparatus through the communication unit;
- a second instruction for receiving a user application request for a user application, which is selected by the media playback apparatus from the one or more user applications, from the media playback apparatus through the communication unit;
- and
- a third instruction for transmitting the user application selected by the media playback apparatus to the media playback apparatus through the communication unit in response to the user application request.
A method for providing one or more user applications generated in a computing apparatus to a media playback apparatus, comprising:
- (a) receiving a user application information request from the media playback apparatus;
- (b) transmitting information about the one or more user applications to the media playback apparatus in response to the user application information request;
- (c) receiving, from the media playback apparatus, a user application request for a user application selected by the media playback apparatus from the one or more user applications;
- and
- (d) transmitting the user application selected by the media playback apparatus to the media playback apparatus in response to the user application request.
