20090019364 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING ELECTRONIC CONTENT GUIDE - A method and apparatus that generates an electronic content guide using received metadata associated with content provided from a plurality of servers and which has different formats. The received metadata is collected, the formats of the collected metadata are converted into a same format, and an electronic content guide is generated using the metadata having the same format. | 01-15-2009 |
20090049055 | METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM TO PROVIDE CONTENT USING CONTENT PREFERENCE INFORMATION - A method, an apparatus, and a system to provide content using content preference information of users, and a computer readable medium to store a computer readable program to execute the content providing method. The method comprises searching the content preference information to identify one of the users that is likely to prefer the content; and transmitting the content to the selected user. | 02-19-2009 |
20090063506 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING RECOMMENDATION CONTENT LIST - A method and apparatus for generating a recommendation content list by the cooperation of user groups. Sets of content that are classified according to a predetermined criterion are distributed to user terminals within a user terminal group. Assessment information on the content included in the sets of content is collected from the corresponding user terminals, and the recommendation content list is then generated based on the collected assessment information. | 03-05-2009 |
20090063568 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONSTRUCTING USER PROFILE USING CONTENT TAG, AND METHOD FOR CONTENT RECOMMENDATION USING THE CONSTRUCTED USER PROFILE - A method of and apparatus for constructing a user profile using a content tag, a method of recommending digital content by using a user profile including a tag included in the digital content and a preference value for the tag. According to the methods and apparatus, a user profile is generated by using a content tag, and thus the taste of the user according to digital content consumption can be expressed in more varied ways. Also, by suggesting a method of generating a tag from web content, construction of a user profile for digital content having no tag is enabled. Furthermore, a tag extracted from digital content used by a user is included in a profile and it can be used for a variety of purposes, such as expansion of a comparison scope, use of preference keywords, providing of content links, and expansion of search scope. | 03-05-2009 |
20090089257 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING CONTENT SUMMARY INFORMATION - A method to provide content summary information by using a web content syndication format includes selecting keywords which satisfy a predetermined condition from among a plurality of keywords extracted from a plurality of pieces of content summary information, indicating at least one of the selected keywords through a user selection from among the selected keywords, and displaying a plurality of pieces of content summary information all of which are related to the indicated keyword. | 04-02-2009 |
20090154420 | METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING NEIGHBOR NODE HAVING SIMILAR CHARACTERISTIC TO THAT OF ACTIVE NODE AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM HAVING RECORDED THEREON PROGRAM FOR EXECUTING THE METHOD - A method and apparatus for managing a neighbor node having a similar characteristic to that of an active node, the method including: generating a neighbor list containing information about at least one neighbor node; selecting at least one parent node from among the at least one neighbor node; determining fitness parameters using a characteristic value of the active node, characteristic values of the at least one neighbor node included in the neighbor list of the active node, and characteristic values of at least one neighbor node included in a neighbor list of each parent node; and updating the neighbor list of the active node according to values of the determined fitness parameters. | 06-18-2009 |
20090193015 | METHOD AND APPARTUS FOR ADAPTIVELY UPDATING RECOMMEND USER GROUP - A method of adaptively updating a first recommended user group list of a first user connected to a network, in which a predetermined number of second users are selected from the first recommend user group list that is a list of users having a high similarity to the first user in consuming contents. A predetermined number of third users having a high similarity to the first user is selected from second recommend user group lists respectively of the selected second users possess. The first recommend user group list is updated to include the selected third users. As the preference of a user changes, the recommend user group may be reconfigured with updated recommend users by reflecting a corresponding preference. Also, quality contents can be provided by recommending a user of a corresponding terminal with the contents preferred by other users in the updated recommend user group list. | 07-30-2009 |
20110047239 | Host device and slave device controlling method - A host device is provided, which includes a network communication unit connected to network; a local communication unit locally connected to a slave device; a virtualization unit to virtualize the slave device as a network device within the network; and a controlling unit to control the virtualized slave device as the network device. Therefore, a developer may implement an application in consideration of a single type of network without considering various physical input and output ports. | 02-24-2011 |
20120254170 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONSTRUCTING USER PROFILE USING CONTENT TAG, AND METHOD FOR CONTENT RECOMMENDATION USING THE CONSTRUCTED USER PROFILE - A method of and apparatus for constructing a user profile using a content tag, a method of recommending digital content by using a user profile including a tag included in the digital content and a preference value for the tag. According to the methods and apparatus, a user profile is generated by using a content tag, and thus the taste of the user according to digital content consumption can be expressed in more varied ways.
