Abstract

In case that a main component and an auxiliary component to be presented in synchronization with the main one have to be presented through data transmission between both devices, the present invention issues an action for setting access location information (e.g., URL) of at least one auxiliary component to a media renderer, wherein the action is different from an action for setting access location information of a main component. As a different way, the present invention sets access location information of at least one auxiliary component to a media renderer through an action including access location information of an auxiliary component as well as access location information of a main component.

Claims

1. A method for presenting a content through data transmission between both devices, comprising;

issuing a connection preparation action to the both devices respectively for each of components, if a main component or one main component selected from a plurality of main components pertaining to the content is associated with at least one auxiliary component;

issuing a first action for setting access location information of the selected main component and a second action for setting access location information of the at least one auxiliary component respectively to at least one of the both devices, the second action being different from the first action; and

issuing an action for requesting playback of the selected main component to at least one of the both devices so that the selected main component and the at least one auxiliary component associated therewith are presented synchronously.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein before the action for requesting playback is issued, the one device to which the second action is issued starts to receive the at least one auxiliary component corresponding to access location information specified by the second action.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the action for requesting playback uses an ID obtained through the connection preparation action for the selected main component.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the one device to which the action for requesting playback is issued conducts synchronized presentation of the selected main component and the at least one auxiliary component while receiving streaming data of the selected main component.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising

issuing the second action to the one device to change the auxiliary component being presented in synchronization with the main component to other auxiliary component.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the second action used for changing an auxiliary component being presented uses same ID that the second action issued in the second issuing step used.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein an input argument of the second action includes access location information of an auxiliary component and an ID.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the first issuing step checks, based on auxiliary content related information included in meta data of the content, whether there is at least one auxiliary component associated with the selected main component.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the main component consists of AV data and the auxiliary component consists of information for presenting subtitles.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the first issuing step comprises:

issuing connection preparation action for the main component; and

issuing connection preparation action for an auxiliary component of language chosen by a user among all of auxiliary components associated with the main component.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the first issuing step further comprises

issuing connection preparation action for a component containing synchronization data needed for synchronized presentation of the auxiliary component of language chosen by a user.

12. The method of claim 1, further comprising

issuing, to a service for controlling data rendering, an action to set information indicating language with which the at least one auxiliary component is related.

13. A method for presenting a content through data transmission between both devices, comprising;

issuing a connection preparation action to the both devices for a main component or one main component selected from a plurality of main components pertaining to the content;

issuing an action for setting both access location information of the selected main component and access location information of at least one auxiliary component associated with the selected main component to at least one of the both devices; and

issuing an action for requesting playback of the selected main component to at least one of the both devices so that the selected main component and the at least one auxiliary component associated therewith are presented synchronously.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the action for requesting playback uses an ID obtained through the connection preparation action issued in the first issuing step.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein after downloading at least one auxiliary component corresponding to access location information of at least one auxiliary component specified by the access location information setting action before streaming start of the selected main component, the one device to which the action for requesting playback is issued conducts synchronized presentation of the selected main component and the at least one auxiliary component when streaming of the selected main component is started.

16. The method of claim 13, wherein the one device to which the action for requesting playback is issued conducts synchronized presentation of the selected main component and the at least one auxiliary component corresponding to access location information of at least one auxiliary component specified by the access location information setting action while receiving the at least one auxiliary component and the selected main component together in streaming manner.

17. The method of claim 13, further comprising

issuing the access location information setting action to the one device to change an auxiliary component, which is being presented in synchronization with the main component according to the playback requesting action, to other auxiliary component.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the access location information setting action used for changing an auxiliary component being presented uses same ID that the access location information setting action issued in the second issuing step used.

19. The method of claim 13, wherein an input argument of the access location information setting action includes access location information of a main component, access location information of an auxiliary component, meta data of the content and an ID.

20. The method of claim 13, wherein action name of the access location information setting action is identical to that of an action used to set access location information for presentation of a content associated with no auxiliary content to present synchronously.

21. The method of claim 13, wherein the main component consists of AV data and the auxiliary component consists of information for presenting subtitles.

22. The method of claim 13, wherein the second issuing step issues an action for setting together both access location information of the main component and access location information of an auxiliary component of language chosen by a user among all of auxiliary components associated with the main component.

23. The method of claim 22, wherein the second issuing step issues an action for further setting access location information of a component, which contains synchronization data needed for synchronized presentation of the auxiliary component of language chosen by a user, along with access location information of the main component.

24. The method of claim 13, further comprising

issuing, to a service for controlling data rendering, an action to set information indicating language with which the at least one auxiliary component is related.
