Apparatus and method for reproducing multi-sound channel contents using DLNA in mobile terminal
An acoustic apparatus and a method thereof in a mobile terminal are provided. More particularly, an apparatus and a method for establishing a multi-sound system that provides sounds of sense of reality by connecting with players existing in the neighborhood and reproducing channels of contents using a plurality of players when reproducing the contents including multi-sound channels are provided. The apparatus includes a control player, a server player, and a client player. The control player selects players that reproduce respective channels using information of the channels forming the multi-sound channel contents. The server player analyzes the contents to be reproduced by the players to provide the information regarding the channels to the control player. The client player reproduces the channels of the relevant contents under control of the control player.
1. A system for reproducing multi-sound channel contents, the apparatus comprising:
a server configured to store content comprising a plurality of channels and analyze channel information regarding the channels comprised in the content in response to a content reproduction request; and
a control device configured to select at least one second device to reproduce each channel comprised in the content using the channel information analyzed by the server.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured to determine each channel information regarding the channel to be reproduced at the each selected second device, and transmit the each channel information to the each selected second device to allow the each selected second device to reproduce the channel corresponding to the received channel information.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured to control the selected at least one second device to reproduce the each channel of the content in response to a contents reproduction request.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured to control the selected at least one second device to perform a synchronization process with at least another selected second device while reproducing the contents.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the channel information comprises at least one of video, audio, a frame rate, and codec information forming the contents to be reproduced.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured to control the server to provide the selected content to the selected at least one second device.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system reproduces the multi-sound channel contents using a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) network.
8. A method for reproducing multi-sound channel contents, the method comprising:
selecting, by a controller, a content comprising a plurality of channels among a plurality of contents included in a server;
receiving channel information regarding the channels comprised in the selected content from the server; and
selecting at least one second device to reproduce each channel comprised in the selected content using the received channel information.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein selecting the at least one second device to reproduce each channel comprised in the selected content comprises:
determining each channel information regarding the channel to be reproduced at each selected second device; and
transmitting the each channel information to the each selected second device to allow the each selected second device to reproduce the channel corresponding to the received channel information.
10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising controlling the selected second device to reproduce the each channel of the content in response to a contents reproduction request.
11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising controlling the selected at least one second device to perform a synchronization process with at least another selected second device while reproducing the contents.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the channel information received from the server comprises at least one of video, audio, a frame rate, and codec information forming the contents to be reproduced.
13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising controlling the server to provide the selected content to the selected at least one second device.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the method reproduces the multi-sound channel contents using a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) network.
15. An electronic device for reproducing multi-sound channel contents, the electronic device comprising:
a communication unit; and
a controller configured to control to:
select a content comprising a plurality of channels among a plurality of contents included in a server,
receive channel information regarding the channels comprised in the selected content from the server, and
select at least one second device to reproduce each channel comprised in the selected content using the received channel information.
16. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the controller is configured to control to determine each channel information regarding the channel to be reproduced at each selected second device, and transmit the each channel information to the each selected second device to allow the each selected second device to reproduce the channel corresponding to the received channel information.
17. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the controller is configured to control the selected at least one second device to reproduce the each channel of the content in response to a contents reproduction request.
18. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the controller is configured to control the selected at least one second device to perform a synchronization process with at least another selected second device while reproducing the contents.
19. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the channel information comprises at least one of video, audio, a frame rate, and codec information forming the contents to be reproduced.
20. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the controller is further configured to use a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) network to control reproduction of the one or more channels.
