Description
The present invention relates to a method, apparatus and system for providing association information for media content, and more particularly, to a method, apparatus and system for providing association information for media content in a home network.
With the proliferation of various electronic devices such as video devices, audio devices, and personal computers in the home, there is a need for communication between devices in the home and home and outdoor communication through the home gateway to control the device and to freely move or share the contents. Increased.
Due to this necessity, home network technology for connecting home appliance devices has been developed. Recently, the DLNA Standardization Organization proposed the DLNA Networked Device Interoperability Guidelines for the sharing and playback of media content between networked digital devices. Increased.
In such a DLNA home network environment, media content such as photos, videos, and music stored in a media server may be freely shared between devices, and the shared media content may be used through a media player in the home.
Meanwhile, due to the development of the Internet, a lot of knowledge (information) is distributed on the web, and various and numerous knowledge assets are continuously generated and recycled, such as new information is constantly registered, modified or updated through the web.
Search service to find the necessary information has emerged from these information, the individual can efficiently find the desired information by using the web information search properly.
In the era of Web 2.0 represented by openness and sharing, these web search services can be used in various systems through the Open-Application Programming Interface (Open API). Currently, commercial search such as Google and Naver Operators also provide this search Open API.
However, in order to obtain web information related to media content through the Internet in the current DLNA home network environment, an additional module such as a web browser that can use a web search service for each device on the network must be installed. There was a difficulty in being connected.
In addition, there is a problem in the devices on the network that the processes for using the web search service are inconsistent with the DLNA home network.
Accordingly, Korean Patent No. 733,962 (a system for sharing media content between home networks and a method thereof) is provided in a home network composed of DLNA-based media devices and the like, which is present in not only the home but also an external home connected via the Internet. Disclosed is a technology for collecting media content information and receiving specific media content in real time.
However, this still solves the conventional problem of not being able to provide web information related to the media content, provided that the media content existing in the external home is provided through the Internet.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a method apparatus and system that can retrieve and share web information such as news, blogs, and encyclopedias associated with media content on a device on a DLNA network.
The objects of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned objects, and other objects not mentioned can be clearly understood from the following description.
In order to achieve the above object, an apparatus for providing association information on media content in a home network according to an aspect of the present invention, the metadata collection for receiving the metadata for the media content from the digital media server connected to the home network The web search setting unit may provide a setting menu for searching the web for information related to the media content, based on the metadata, and request the search for the related information based on the information set in the setting menu. An association for relaying the media content to the user device and providing the associated information of the relayed media content to the user device when a request for use of the media content is requested from a receiving search processing unit and a user device connected to the home network; Information It includes a providing unit.
In order to achieve the above object, a method for providing association information for media content in a home network according to an aspect of the present invention comprises the steps of (a) browsing a digital media server connected to the home network, (b) the digital media Receiving metadata about media content from a server; (c) if a request for use of the media content is received from a user device, setting, based on the metadata, to retrieve information associated with the media content from the web; Providing a menu to the user device, (d) requesting the associated information search based on the information set in the setting menu and receiving a searched result; and (e) converting the received search result into an image to Transmitting to the user device.
In order to achieve the above object, a system for providing association information on media content in a home network according to an aspect of the present invention, the media content and the metadata of the media content, digital media for providing the metadata A server, a user device requesting the use of the media content, the metadata from the digital media server, retrieves information associated with the media content on the web based on the metadata, and retrieves the retrieved result from the user device. Including a related information providing server provided with, the related information providing server communicates with the digital media server using a Content Directory Service (CDS), a Connection Manager Service (CMS) and an AV Transport Service (ATS).
