ELECTRONIC DEVICE, MEDIA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a storage unit;
a communication module configured for connecting the electronic device to other electronic devices via a communication network;
a receiving module configured for receiving medias via the communication module;
a time comparison module configured for detecting whether a newly received media includes time information comprising a start time, a finish time, and a display time interval, and comparing the current date and time with the start time and the finish time of the time information if the media includes the time information;
a display control module configured for controlling a display unit to display the media every the display time interval till the finish time if the time comparison module determines the current date and time reaches or goes beyond the start time but does not reach the finish time; and
a storing control module configured for storing the received media into the storage unit, and set the display attribute of the media as hidden if the time comparison module determines the current date and time falls before the start time of the time information.

Abstract
A method of managing medias, including steps of: receiving medias; detecting whether the media includes a time information including a start time, a finish time, and a display time interval; comparing the current date and time with the start time if the media includes the time information; displaying the media every the display time interval if the current date and time reaches or goes beyond the start time but does not reach the finish time. The time information can be added to the metadata of the media by a user before the media is sent to a receiver. The present invention further provides an electronic device capable of executing the above steps.

11. A method for managing medias applied in an electronic device, the method comprising:
-
receiving a media; determining whether the media includes a time information, wherein the time information includes a start time, a finish time, and a display time interval; comparing the current date and time with the start time and the finish time of the media if the media includes the time information; displaying the media on a display unit after every the display time interval if the current date and time reaches or goes beyond the start time but does not reaches the finish time; and setting the display attribute of the media as hidden if the current date and time falls before the start time of the time information. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
