Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting files based on network digital signage system comprising

• (1) obtaining an authentication from a media server upon starting a network media player file server (NMP FS);
• (2) making an initiation of the NMP FS;
• (3) delivering a command to the NMP FS;
• (4) delivering schedule information to the NMP FS; and
• (5) transmitting media files from the media server to the NMP FS.

Claims

1. A method for transmitting files based on network digital signage system comprising

(1) obtaining an authentication from a media server upon starting a network media player file server (NMP FS);

(2) making an initiation of the NMP FS;

(3) delivering a command to the NMP FS;

(4) delivering schedule information to the NMP FS; and

(5) transmitting media files from the media server to the NMP FS.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, which further comprises a step of transmitting the schedule information and the media files from the network media player file server (NMP FS) to a plurality of network media players (NMPs) inside a group after step (5).

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the command and the media files are transmitted through different threads independently.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the schedule information is selected from the group consisting of attribute, size, location, date and time of broadcasting of the media files.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the NMP FS checks the availability of space for storage after receiving the schedule information.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 and 2, wherein transmission of the media files between media server and network media players (NMPs) is carried out by a two-step manner.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 and 2, which further comprising a step of dividing the media files before the transmission of the media files.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 and 2, which further comprising a step of combining the media files after the transmission of the divided media files.
