Abstract

An Internet Protocol (IP) adaptor transmitting contents to a portable device which downloads contents corresponding to the portable device from a contents providing server and transmits the contents to the portable device, and a contents transmitting method using an IP adaptor is provided. The IP adaptor transmitting contents to the portable device includes: an IP address acquisition unit acquiring, from a predetermined recording unit by detecting a connection of the portable device, an IP address of a contents providing server which corresponds to the portable device; a network connection unit connecting with a network including the contents providing server which corresponds to the portable device by referring to the IP address of the contents providing server; a contents download unit downloading contents which correspond to the portable device from the contents providing server; and a contents transmission unit transmitting the downloaded contents to the portable device.

Claims

1. An Internet Protocol (IP) adaptor transmitting contents to a portable device, the IP adaptor comprising:

an IP address acquisition unit acquiring, from a predetermined recording unit by detecting a connection of the portable device, an IP address of a contents providing server which corresponds to the portable device;

a network connection unit connecting with a network including the contents providing server which corresponds to the portable device by referring to the IP address of the contents providing server;

a contents download unit downloading contents which correspond to the portable device from the contents providing server; and

a contents transmission unit transmitting the downloaded contents to the portable device.

2. The IP adaptor of claim 1, wherein the IP adaptor is connected with a cradle capable of supporting the portable device.

3. The IP adaptor of claim 1, wherein the contents download unit downloads the contents which correspond to the portable device from the contents providing server, according to contents download condition information, which is stored in the contents providing server in association with the portable device.

4. The IP adaptor of claim 1, further comprising:

a condition information receiving unit receiving the contents download condition information from the portable device,

wherein the contents download unit downloads the contents which correspond to the portable device from the contents providing server, according to the contents download condition information.

5. The IP adaptor of claim 1, wherein the contents download unit downloads the contents by including a license which corresponds to the contents from the contents providing server.

6. The IP adaptor of claim 1, wherein the contents transmission unit comprises a memory checker which checks memory information of the connected portable device, and transmits the downloaded contents to the portable device when available memory is less than a predetermined reference value as a result of the checking of the memory checker.

7. The IP adaptor of claim 6, wherein the contents transmission unit transmits the downloaded contents to the portable device according to a time priority with respect to the downloaded contents.

8. The EP adaptor of claim 1, wherein the IP address acquisition unit comprises:

an identification information receiving unit receiving identification information of the portable device, and acquires the IP address of the contents providing server which corresponds to the portable device from the recording unit by referring to the identification information, and

the network connection unit comprises an identification information receiving unit which transmits the identification information of the portable device to the contents providing server.

9. A contents transmitting method using an IP adaptor, the method comprising:

acquiring an IP address of a contents providing server which corresponds to a portable device from a predetermined recording unit by detecting a connection of the portable device;

connecting, by referring to the IP address of the contents providing server, a network with the contents providing server which corresponds to the portable device;

downloading contents which correspond to the portable device from the contents providing server; and

transmitting the downloaded contents to the portable device.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the IP adaptor is connected with a cradle capable of supporting the portable device.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the downloading the contents which corresponds to the portable device from the contents providing server downloads the contents which corresponds to the portable device from the contents providing server, according to contents download condition information which is stored in the contents providing server in association with the portable device.

12. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

receiving the contents download condition information from the connected portable device,

wherein the downloading of the contents downloads the contents which corresponds to the portable device from the contents providing server, according to the contents download condition information.

13. The method of claim 9, wherein the downloading of the contents downloads the contents by including a license which corresponds to the contents from the contents providing server.

14. The method of claim 9, wherein the transmitting of the downloaded contents to the portable device comprises:

checking memory information of the connected portable device; and

transmitting the downloaded contents to the portable device when available memory is less than a predetermined reference value as a result of the checking of the memory checker.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the transmitting the downloaded contents to the portable device transmits the downloaded contents to the portable device according to a time priority with respect to the downloaded contents.

16. The method of claim 9, wherein the detecting of the connection of the portable device comprises:

receiving identification information of the portable device from the portable device;

acquiring the IP address of the contents providing server which corresponds to the portable device from the recording unit by referring to the identification information; and

the connecting of the network with the contents providing server which corresponds to the portable device comprises transmitting the identification information of the portable device to the contents providing server.

17. A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for implementing the contents transmitting method via an IP adaptor;

acquiring an IP address of a contents providing server which corresponds to a portable device from a predetermined recording unit by detecting a connection of the portable device;

connecting, by referring to the IP address of the contents providing server, a network with the contents providing server which corresponds to the portable device;

downloading contents which corresponds to the portable device from the contents providing server; and

transmitting the downloaded contents to the portable device.
