Abstract
Provided is a system including an optical disc drive and a user terminal, and a method of processing a file. The optical disc drive may be connected to the user terminal. According to various aspects, the user terminal may include a file system for identifying a file format of the file recorded on an optical disc. The user terminal may search for a file recorded in an optical disc via the file system, and play the file through downloading.

An optical disc drive configured to read an optical disc, comprising:
- a controller configured to communicate with a terminal comprising a file system configured to recognize a file format of a file stored on the optical disc;
- and
- an interface directly adjacent to the controller and configured to connect with the terminal configured to download the file of the recognized file format that is stored on the optical disc;
- and
- a transmitter directly adjacent to the interface and configured to transmit, to the terminal, the file of the recognizable file format that is stored on the optical disc,
- wherein
- the interface is between the controller and the transmitter,
- the recognized file format is a universal disc format (UDF) and an international standardization organization (ISO) format,
- the terminal is configured to
- select a file from a list of files in the optical disc drive in response to being provided with a list of files recorded in the optical disc,
- in response to the file being of the recognized file format, identify the file and search for the file without converting the file format,
- convert the file from a UDF and ISO format into a playable file format in response to the identifying the file,
- download the file, and
- play the file.
A terminal, comprising:
- a file downloader configured to download a file of a universal disc format (UDF) and an international standardization organization (ISO) for and comprising a file system configured to identify a file format of the file recorded on an optical disc inserted in an optical disc drive in response to the optical disc drive and the terminal not converting the format of the file,
- a UDF/ISO file system driver configured to
- search for the file,
- provide a list of files to be displayed,
- provide a user interface to allow a user to conveniently search for the file,
- download the file to play from the optical disc drive,
- store the downloaded file in an area to be played, and
- transfer the downloaded file to a file player to allow the user to play the file, and
- a file player configured to
- convert the file format of the file that is downloaded from the optical disc drive into a second format playable by the file player and to play the file.
A method of processing a file performed by an optical disc drive configured to read the file from an optical disc, the method comprising:
- communicating with a terminal comprising a file system configured to recognize a file format of the file stored on the optical disc using a controller;
- connecting with the terminal configured to download the file of the recognized file format of a universal disc format (UDF) and an international standardization organization (ISO) format that is stored on the optical disc, using an interface directly adjacent to the controller;
- selecting a file from a list of files in the optical disc drive in response to being provided with a list of files recorded in the optical disc;
- in response to the file being of the recognised file format, the identifying the file and searching for the file without converting the file format;
- downloading the file to play from the optical disc drive;
- storing the downloaded file in an area to be played;
- transmitting, to the terminal, the file of the recognizable file format that is stored on the optical disc using a transmitter directly adjacent to the interface;
- converting the file from the UDF and ISO format into a playable file format;
- and
- playing the file,
- wherein the interface is between the controller and the transmitter.
A method of processing a file performed by a terminal, the method comprising:
- connecting to an optical disc drive to which an optical disc is inserted;
- selecting a file from a list of files in the optical disc drive in response to being provided with a list of files recorded in the optical disc;
- identifying a file format of a file recorded on the optical disc in response to the optical disc drive and the terminal not converting the format of the file and in response to the file being of a recognized format of a universal disc format (UDF) and an international standardization organization (ISO) format;
- searching for the file recorded on the optical disc inserted into the optical disc drive via a file system stored at the terminal that is configured to identify a file format of the file recorded on the optical disc;
- downloading the file from the optical disc drive;
- storing the downloaded file in an area to be played;
- transmitting, to the terminal, the file of the recognizable file format that is stored on the optical disc using a transmitter;
- converting the file from the UDF and ISO format into a playable file format;
- and
- playing the file.
