20110035388 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOMMENDING INFORMATION USING A HYBRID ALGORITHM - A method and apparatus for recommending information is provided. When a client accesses a server and requests information, the server determines whether the client is included in a meaningful set (MS) and generates first preference information of the client based on an access history of the client, or based on additional information directly input by the client. Then, the server selects a number of neighborhood groups including clients having preferences similar to a preference of the client, and generates and transmits first item information on a number of items preferred by the clients of the neighborhood group to the client. The client extracts second item information to be recommended to a user by filtering the first item information with second preference information. Information is filtered respectively by the server and the client by using different algorithms. Accordingly, it is possible to improve the accuracy and speed of recommending information. | 02-10-2011 |
20110082943 | P2P NETWORK SYSTEM AND DATA TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING METHOD THEREOF - A peer-to-peer (P2P) network system is provided. The P2P network system includes a server which groups transmission unit packets constituting a data stream into a group according to a predetermined time unit and provides the group of the transmission unit packets, and a plurality of peer devices which transmit and receive the group of the transmission unit packets. | 04-07-2011 |
20110116772 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING TRICK PLAY SERVICE - A method and apparatus for providing a trick play service in a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) adaptive streaming (HAS) architecture for adaptively streaming media data according to fluctuation of a streaming environment are provided.
