Abstract
A method of reproducing content is provided. The method includes, when a sync terminal reproduces content by receiving the content from a source terminal via a certain network, reproducing the content in a mirroring mode during a certain time, buffering image data corresponding to the content to be reproduced after the certain time, during the certain time, and reproducing the content in a streaming mode after the certain time by using the buffered image data.
Claims20
A method of reproducing content, the method comprising:
- when a sync terminal reproduces content by receiving the content from a source terminal via a certain network, reproducing the content in a mirroring mode during a certain time;
- buffering image data corresponding to the content to be reproduced after the certain time, during the certain time;
- and
- reproducing the content in a streaming mode after the certain time by using the buffered image data.
A method of reproducing content, the method comprising:
- when a source terminal transmits content to a sync terminal via a certain network,
- transmitting the content in a mirroring mode during a certain time;
- and
- transmitting image data corresponding to the content to be reproduced after the certain time, in a streaming mode during the certain time.
A sync terminal comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive content from a source terminal via a certain network in order to reproduce the content;
- a controller configured to:
- control the content to be reproduced in a mirroring mode during a certain time, and
- control the content to be reproduced in a streaming mode after the certain time;
- and
- a memory configured to buffer image data corresponding to the content to be reproduced after the certain time, during the certain time.
A source terminal comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit content to a sync terminal via a certain network;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control the content to be transmitted in a mirroring mode during a certain time,
- control image data corresponding to the content to be reproduced after the certain time, to be transmitted in a streaming mode, during the certain time, and
- control the image data corresponding to the content, to be transmitted in the streaming mode after the certain time.
A method for reproducing content, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the sync terminal, content to be reproduced from a source terminal;
- reproducing, by the sync terminal, the content in a mirroring mode if a preset condition is not satisfied;
- buffering, by the sync terminal, image data corresponding to the content to be reproduced;
- and
- reproducing, by the sync terminal, the buffered content by switching to a streaming mode if the preset condition is satisfied,
- wherein the sync terminal switches between the mirroring mode and streaming mode based on the preset condition.
