Device and method of sharing contents based on time synchronization
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of sharing contents among devices, the method comprising:
- a first device and a second device performing a time synchronization;
the first device receiving, from a user, an input with respect to contents being replayed by the second device at a first point in time;
the first device generating a time stamp indicating the first point in time;
the first device transmitting the time stamp to the second device;
in response to receiving the time stamp, the second device transmitting a contents list, corresponding to the contents replayed by the second device at the time indicated by the time stamp, to the first device;
the first device requesting, from the second device, contents selected by the user from the contents list received by the first device; and
the second device providing the requested contents to the first device and generating a contents log and a contents history with respect to at least one content being replayed after the time synchronization with the first device.

Abstract
A device and method of sharing contents based on time synchronization are provided. A first device may generate a time stamp with respect to contents being replayed by a second device and transmit the time stamp to the second device. In response, the second device may generate a contents list based on the time stamp and transmit the contents list to the first device. The first device may request contents selected by a user from among the contents list, and the second device may provide the requested contents to the first device.

8. A non transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for implementing a method of sharing contents among devices, the method comprising:
-
a first device and a second device performing a time synchronization; the first device receiving, from a user, an input via an interface with respect to contents being replayed by the second device at a first point in time; the first device generating the time stamp including information about the first point in time; the first device transmitting a time stamp to the second device; in response to the time stamp, the second device transmitting a contents list, corresponding to the contents being replayed by the second device at the time of the time stamp, to the first device; the first device requesting the second device for contents selected by the user from among the contents list; and the second device providing the requested contents to the first device and generating a contents log and a contents history with respect to at least one content being replayed after the time synchronization with the first device.

9. A terminal, comprising:
-
a time synchronization unit which performs a time synchronization with first and second devices; a contents information generation unit, of the second device, which generates a contents log and a contents history with respect to at least one content being replayed by the terminal, after performing the time synchronization with the first device; a contents retrieval unit which retrieves at least one content corresponding to a first time stamp by referring to the contents history, and generates a contents list including a contents log corresponding to the retrieved at least one content, when receiving the first time stamp from the first device; a transmission control unit which transmits the contents list to the first device, and provides at least one content, requested by the first device, to the first device; and a time stamp unit which generates a second time stamp indicating a first point in time, when receiving, from a user, an input at the first point in time with respect to contents being replayed by the second device, wherein the transmission control unit transmits the second time stamp to the second device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
