Abstract
A local server 200 transmits power supply ON information C as a content list to the local reproduction device 300 in the power OFF mode, the power supply ON information requesting a transition to the power ON mode. The local server 200 receives a power supply ON request from the local reproduction device 300, the power supply ON request indicating that the power supply ON information has been selected. The local server 200 causes a transition from the power OFF mode to the power ON mode in response to the power ON request.
Claims8
A local server configured to transmit a content list to a local reproduction device connected to the local server via a local network, the content list being a list of content that is capable of being provided to the local reproduction device, the local server having a power OFF mode and a power ON mode, the local server comprising:
- a transmitter configured to transmit power supply ON information as the content list to the local reproduction device when the local server is in the power OFF mode, the power supply ON information allowing the local reproduction device to request a transition of the local server to the power ON mode;
- a receiver configured to receive a power supply ON request from the local reproduction device, the power supply ON request indicating that the power supply ON information has been selected;
- and
- a power supply manager configured to cause a transition from the power OFF mode to the power ON mode in response to the power supply ON request, wherein
- the power supply ON information is only used by the local reproduction device to send the power supply ON request from the local reproduction device to the receiver of the local server.
A control method of a local server that transmits a content list to a local reproduction device connected to the local server via a local network, the content list being a list of content that is capable of being provided to the local reproduction device, the local server having a power OFF mode and a power ON mode, the method comprising the steps of:
- transmitting power supply ON information as the content list to the local reproduction device when the local server is in the power OFF mode, the power supply ON information allowing the local reproduction device to request a transition of the local server to the power ON mode;
- receiving a power supply ON request from the local reproduction device, the power supply ON request indicating that the power supply ON information has been selected;
- and
- causing a transition from the power OFF mode to the power ON mode in response to the power supply ON request, wherein
- the power supply ON information is only used by the local reproduction device to send the power supply ON request from the local reproduction device to the receiver of the local server.
