Abstract
Disclosed herein is a content conversion apparatus and method. The content conversion apparatus includes a table generation unit for generating a media dependent table and a weight table. An information management unit receives information about a terminal and information about a player of the terminal from the terminal and manages the received information. A content conversion unit generates a content information table, related to content that is to be converted, using the media dependent table, the weight table, the terminal information and the player information, and converts the content using the content information table so as to transmit converted content to the terminal.
Claims20
A content conversion apparatus, comprising:
- a table generation unit for generating, using a processor, a media dependent table and a weight table including weights assigned based on characteristics of media specified in the media dependent table;
- an information management unit for receiving information about a terminal and information about a player of the terminal from the terminal and managing, using the processor, the received information;
- and
- a content conversion unit for generating, using the processor, content information tables, related to content that is to be converted, using the media dependent table, the weight table, the terminal information and the player information, and converting the content using the content information table so as to transmit converted content to the terminal,
- wherein using the weight table comprises considering a weight of a video codec and an audio codec in the media dependent table in converting the content.
A content conversion method, comprising:
- generating, using a processor, a media dependent table and a weight table including weights assigned based on characteristics of media specified in the media dependent table;
- receiving information about a terminal and information about a player of the terminal from the terminal and managing the received information;
- generating, using the processor, content information tables, related to content that is to be converted, using the media dependent table, the weight table, the terminal information and the player information;
- converting, using the processor, the content using the content information table;
- and
- transmitting converted content to the terminal,
- wherein in generating the content information tables, using the weight table comprises considering a weight of a video codec and an audio codec in the media dependent table in converting the content.
