Abstract

A system for accessing and sharing content having a user-defined format is provided. The system for accessing and sharing content having a user-defined format includes: a user-defined content (UDC) developing device providing a UDC usage program and a UDC sharing program supporting accessing and sharing of UDC having a user-defined format; a Web server uploading the UDC usage program such that the UDC usage program can be downloaded, and installing the UDC sharing program in a server; and a user terminal downloading the UDC usage program from the Web server to access UDC having the user-defined format, and sharing the UDC with a different user terminal through the UDC sharing program installed in the Web server.

Claims

1. A system for accessing and sharing content having a user-defined format, the system comprising:

a user-defined content (UDC) developing device providing a UDC usage program and a UDC sharing program supporting accessing and sharing of UDC having a user-defined format;

a Web server uploading the UDC usage program such that the UDC usage program can be downloaded, and installing the UDC sharing program in a server; and

a user terminal downloading the UDC usage program from the Web server to access UDC having the user-defined format, and sharing the UDC with a different user terminal through the UDC sharing program installed in the Web server.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the UDC developing device comprises:

a UDC format defining unit generating an extensible markup language (XML) file including information regarding the user-defined format;

a program generation unit generating the UDC usage program and the UDC sharing program by using the XML file; and

a program providing unit uploading the UDC usage program to the Web server and installing the UDC sharing program in the Web server.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the program generation unit comprises:

a source code generation unit generating a source code of the UDC usage program and the UDC sharing program by using the XML file; and

an installation file generation unit generating an installation file of the UDC usage program and the UDC sharing program by using the source code.

4. The system of claim 2, wherein the Web server comprises:

a UDC usage program management unit registering and managing the UDC usage program and performing an operation of downloading the UDC usage program;

a UDC sharing program execution unit performing an operation of uploading and downloading the UDC by using the UDC sharing program; and

a server storage unit storing files and data related to the UDC usage program and the UDC sharing program, and the UDC.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the user terminal comprises:

a UDC usage program downloading the UDC sharing program registered to the Web server to support an access to the UDC having the user-defined format and performing an operation of uploading and downloading the UDC; and

a terminal storage unit storing files and data related to the UDC sharing program, and the UDC.

6. A user-defined content (UDC) developing device comprising:

a UDC format defining unit generating an extensible markup language (XML) file having information regarding the UDC format;

a program generation unit generating a UDC usage program and a UDC sharing program supporting accessing and sharing of the UDC having the user-defined format by using the XML file; and

a program providing unit uploading the UDC usage program to a Web server such that at least one user terminal can download the UDC usage program, and installing the UDC sharing program in the Web server such that at least one user terminal can share the UDC having the user-defined format.

7. The device of claim 6, wherein the program generation unit comprises:

a source code generation unit generating a source code of the UDC usage program and the UDC sharing program by using the XML file; and

an installation file generation unit generating an installation file of the UDC usage program and the UDC sharing program by using the source code.

8. A method for operating a system for accessing and sharing contents having a user-defined format, the method comprising:

generating an extensible markup language (XML) file having information regarding the format of user-defined content (UDC);

generating a source code of a UDC usage program and a UDC sharing program by using the XML file and generating an installation file of the UDC usage program and the UDC sharing program by using the source code;

uploading the UDC usage program to a Web server such that a user terminal can download the UDC usage program; and

installing the UDC sharing program in the Web server such that UDC uploaded from the user terminal can be shared through the UDC sharing program.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

installing, by a different user terminal, the UDC sharing program in the Web server in order to share the UDC uploaded from the user terminal through the UDC sharing program.
