20150046995 | MEDIA PLAYING SYSTEM AND MEDIA PLAYING METHOD FOR PLAYING MEDIA FILE IN DIFFERENT AREA NETWORK GROUPS - A media playing method is provided for playing a media file in different area network groups. Firstly, a first area network group is connected to a network group server through network connection. Then, a communication address data of the second area network group and a device data of an electronic device of the second area network group are acquired from the network group server. According to the communication address data and the device data, a control command is transmitted from the first area network group to the electronic device. According to the control command, the electronic device performs a corresponding controlled task. By using the media playing method, it is not necessary to frequently communicate plural electronic devices with each other. Consequently, the data transmission speed is largely enhanced. | 02-12-2015 |
20150063204 | AREA NETWORK SYSTEM AND NETWORK CONNECTION METHOD - A network connection method is provided. Firstly, plural communication address data and plural connecting port data are automatically transmitted from plural devices of an area network group to a connection module according to the UPnP protocol and the DLNA protocol. A communication address look-up table is created by the connection module of the passive electronic device according to the communication address data and the plural connecting port data. In addition, the communication address look-up table is transmitted to a network router of the area network group. Consequently, a controlling device can be connected to a passive electronic device of the area network group. Consequently, it is not necessary to input the communication address data and the connecting port data through manual settings. | 03-05-2015 |
20150113069 | MEDIA PLAYING SYSTEM AND MEDIA PLAYING METHOD FOR PLAYING MEDIA FILE IN AREA NETWORK - A media playing method for playing a media file in an area network is provided. First of all, plural playing devices are assigned to a specified group, and a virtual device corresponding to the specified group is created. When the user wants to simultaneously use the plural playing device to play the media file, the user may simply control the virtual device to play the media file. Consequently, the media file is played by the plural playing devices corresponding to the specified group. Since the media playing method of the present invention is capable of controlling plural playing devices to play the media file by using only a single manual setting procedure, the process of controlling playback of the playing devices is simplified. | 04-23-2015 |
20150142729 | PHOTO FILE DISPLAYING METHOD AND DLNA SYSTEM - A photo file displaying method includes the following steps. Firstly, a judging step is performed to judge whether a coordinate data of a photo file in a first electronic device is acquired. According to a result of acquiring the coordinate data, a location information or a no available location information is written into a data field of a metadata of the photo file. Then, a first virtual folder and a second virtual folder are displayed on a second electronic device. If the first virtual folder is selected, the photo file corresponding to the first virtual folder is displayed on the second electronic device. If the photo file has the location information, the photo file is assigned to the first virtual folder. If the photo file has the no available location information, the photo file is assigned to the second virtual folder. | 05-21-2015 |
20150142810 | PHOTO FILE DISPLAYING METHOD AND DLNA SYSTEM - A photo file displaying method includes the following steps. Firstly, a face detection operation is performed on a photo file of a first electronic device. According to a result of the face detection operation, a first photo property or a second photo property is written into a data field of a metadata of the photo file. Then, a first virtual folder and a second virtual folder are displayed on a second electronic device. If the first virtual folder is selected, the photo file corresponding to the first virtual folder is displayed on the second electronic device. If the photo file has the first photo property, the photo file is assigned to the first virtual folder. If the photo file has the second photo property, the photo file is assigned to the second virtual folder. | 05-21-2015 |
20150146240 | GROUP PRINTING METHOD AND SYSTEM - A group printing method and a group printing system are provided. The group printing system includes a control point, an intermediary printing device, and plural digital media printers. The group printing method includes following steps. The control point and the intermediary printing device issue device search broadcasts. The intermediary printing device and each of the digital media printers issue response broadcast to the control point and the intermediary printing device. At least two of the plural digital media printers are set as a printer group. The intermediary printing device splits the print command into plural split print commands and transmits the plural split print commands to the digital media printers of the printer group. Since the print command is split into the plural split print commands and the plural split print commands are executed by respective digital media printers, the printing speed is enhanced. | 05-28-2015 |
20150200989 | REAL-TIME STREAMING MEDIA PLAYING METHOD AND REAL-TIME STREAMING MEDIA PLAYING SYSTEM - A real-time streaming media playing method is provided. Firstly, plural type data, plural internet radio station data and plural address data from an internet server are stored into a digital media server. Then, an active control device is connected to the digital media server. Consequently, a playing list containing the plural internet radio station data of the internet server and plural address path data corresponding to the plural address data is generated. According to the playing list, the plural address data are acquired by the active control device or a digital media renderer. According to the plural address data, a corresponding real-time streaming media file is played by the active control device or the digital media renderer. | 07-16-2015 |
20150244770 | PHOTO MEDIA PLAYING METHOD AND PHOTO MEDIA PLAYING SYSTEM FOR PLAYING PHOTO MEDIA FILE OF SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE IN AREA NETWORK - A photo media playing method for playing photo media files of a social networking site in an area network is provided. Firstly, the digital media server logins into the social networking site. Moreover, plural album data, plural photo media data and plural media thumbnails corresponding to the social networking site are previously stored in the digital media server. Then, an active control device is connected to the digital media server, so that the plural media thumbnails may be viewed by the user. After one of the plural media thumbnails is selected, the photo media file corresponding to the selected media thumbnail is transmitted from the digital media server to the area network. Consequently, the photo media file is played by the active control device of the area network. | 08-27-2015 |
