Abstract

Provided is a user oriented information system that may retrieve user oriented information or may provide the user oriented information to a mobile device, and a method of controlling the user oriented information system. The user oriented information system may detect the mobile device, detect an information request of the mobile device, and provide a content corresponding to the information request to the mobile device based on a profile of the mobile device.

Claims

1. A system for user oriented information, the system comprising:

an access management unit that detects an access of a mobile device to receive a request for user interest information from the mobile device;

a content management unit that manages a content corresponding to the user interest information; and

a conversion management unit that converts the content to a form to be provided to the mobile device; and

a control unit that controls an overall operation of the user oriented information system.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a network interface unit that supports the access of the mobile device using the user oriented information system.

3. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a profile management unit that detects and manages a profile of the mobile device.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the content management unit and the profile management unit are provided in a form of a database.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the conversion management unit performs real-time transcoding of a content corresponding to the user interest information to a form suitable for the mobile device or to a form desired by a user.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the control unit compares the content corresponding to the user interest information with a profile of the mobile device, and when the content corresponding to the user interest information is in a form unsuitable for the mobile device, the control unit controls the conversion management unit to perform real-time transcoding of the content corresponding to the user interest information to a form suitable for the mobile device.

7. A method of controlling a user oriented information system that provides user oriented information to a mobile device of a user according to a control of a processor, the method comprising:

detecting an access of the mobile device;

receiving an information request from the mobile device;

receiving, from a peripheral content storage, a content corresponding to the information request of the mobile device;

comparing the content with a profile of the mobile device to transcode the content based on information of the profile, when transcoding is determined to be performed; and

providing the transcoded content to the mobile device.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein, when transcoding is determined to be performed, a capacity of the content or a type of a codec used for a creation of the content is unsuitable for the mobile device.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the transcoding comprises determining a form desired by the user, based on the information of the profile, and transcoding the content to the form desired by the user, when the content is different from the form desired by the user.
