Abstract

Claims (60)

1. A method of operating an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving a request to record first content;

obtaining a multi-view identifier with respect to the first content;

based on the first content being outputtable in multi-view, obtaining multi-view information for outputting the first content in multi-view; and

storing the multi-view information together with the first content,

wherein the multi-view information comprises address information for accessing second content via a server, and

wherein the obtaining the multi-view information comprises obtaining, from the multi-view identifier, the address information for accessing the second content on the server.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining the multi-view identifier from at least one of a header of a transport stream, metadata, a frame of the first content, or an image generated from the first content; and

based on obtaining the multi-view identifier, identifying the first content as being outputtable in multi-view.

3. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the second content is related to the first content, and the server comprises at least one streaming server, and

wherein the obtaining the multi-view information comprises:

accessing the at least one streaming server using the obtained address information to obtain the second content from the at least one streaming server.

4. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the second content is related to the first content,

wherein the server comprises at least one video on demand (VOD) server, and

wherein the obtaining the multi-view information comprises obtaining, from the multi-view identifier, the address information for accessing the second content on the at least one VOD server.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the multi-view information further comprises a timestamp for synchronizing the first content and the second content, and

wherein the timestamp comprises at least one of information about a total time to record the first content, information about a time point at which recording of the first content is started, or information about a time point at which the second content is outputtable in multi-view.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on receiving a multi-view output request, obtaining the second content related to the first content;

outputting the first content and the second content in multi-view via a plurality of sub-screens of a display of the electronic apparatus; and

storing a screen output in multi-view.

7. A method of operating an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving a request to output recorded first content;

based on detecting a multi-view identifier in the first content, identifying that the first content is outputtable in multi-view;

based on the first content being outputtable in multi-view and a multi-view output request being received, outputting the first content and second content related to the first content in multi-view via a plurality of sub-screens of a display of the electronic apparatus,

wherein the second content is pre-stored in the electronic apparatus by being streamed from at least one streaming server based on an address obtained from the multi-view identifier.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the outputting the first content and the second content in multi-view comprises reading and outputting a pre-stored multi-view output screen.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

based on a multi-view output screen for the first content not being pre-stored, obtaining the second content by reading the second content that is pre-stored in the electronic apparatus.

10. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the at least one streaming server comprises at least one video on demand (VOD) server, and the address comprises storage location information of the second content on the at least one VOD server.

11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

obtaining a first timestamp associated with the first content and a second timestamp associated with the second content,

wherein the outputting the first content and the second content in multi-view comprises synchronizing the first content and the second content using the first timestamp and the second timestamp.

12. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a user interface;

at least one memory storing one or more instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the one or more instructions to:

receive a request to record first content through the user interface,

obtain a multi-view identifier with respect to the first content;

based on the first content being outputtable in multi-view, obtain multi-view information for outputting the first content in multi-view, and

store the multi-view information together with the first content in the at least one memory, and

obtain, from the multi-view identifier, address information for accessing second content via a server.

13. The electronic apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to:

obtain the multi-view identifier from at least one of a header of a transport stream, metadata, a frame of the first content, or an image generated from the first content, and

based on obtaining the multi-view identifier, identify the first content as being outputtable in multi-view.

14. The electronic apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the second content is related to the first content, and the server comprises at least one remote server,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to:

obtain the second content by accessing the obtained address information on the at least one remote server, and

wherein the at least one remote server comprises at least one of a streaming server and a video on demand (VOD) server.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to execute a method of operating an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving a request to record first content;

obtaining a multi-view identifier with respect to the first content;

based on the first content being outputtable in multi-view, obtaining multi-view information for outputting the first content in multi-view;

storing the multi-view information together with the first content,

wherein the multi-view information comprises address information for accessing second content via a server, and

wherein the obtaining the multi-view information comprises obtaining, from the multi-view identifier, the address information for accessing the second content on the server.
