In addition, in other embodiments, do not limit the quantity of control point and media server.Below promptly again for an embodiment explanation.
Second embodiment: Fig. 5 is the schematic diagram of the multimedia system of second embodiment of the invention.Multimedia system 500 comprises control point 505 and 510, media server 515,520 and 525, media player 530 and MCC 540.The function at the control point 505 of present embodiment and the control point 210 of 510 and first embodiment is same or similar, and the function of the media server 220 of the media server 515,520 and 525 and first embodiment is same or similar, media player 530 and MCC 540 are same or similar with the function of the media player 230 of first embodiment and MCC 240 respectively again, so be not described in detail in this.
As be same as first embodiment, at this, control point 505 and 510 has one group of identifying information respectively, and all can support the service that MCC 540 is provided.For example, control point 505 and 510 can be registered from trend MCC 540 after starting.In media server device 215,220 and 225, then store a plurality of medium archives respectively.505 and 510 receive its identifying informations from the control point respectively by MCC 540, and from media server 515,520 and 525 reception archive informations, in these archive informations, selecting, and between identifying information and selecteed archive information, set up corresponding relation.
Above-mentioned multimedia system 500 exposed conduits of below promptly arranging in pairs or groups are managed each step of method of medium archives.Fig. 6 is the method flow diagram of the management of media archives of second embodiment of the invention.Please be simultaneously with reference to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, at first, in step S605, after control point 205 and 210 was activated, control point 205 and 210 can be registered to the media services module 541 of MCC 540 respectively, and transmits its identifying information to MCC 540.
Then, in step S610, MCC 540 205 and 210 receives identifying information by media services module 541 from the control point.And in step S615, MCC 540 can come existing whole media servers in the searching multi-medium system 500 by control module 543, also is media server 515,520 and 525.
After control module 543 found media server 515,520 and 525, shown in step S620, media server 515,520 and 525 can transmit the corresponding archive information of its archives medium respectively to MCC 540.For example, with media server 520, media server 520 can be orderly sent to MCC 540 according to its catalogue stratum with the archive information of its all medium archives correspondences of sharing.All the other by that analogy.
Then, in step S625,540 of MCC select in these archive informations.For instance, the selection that MCC 540 understands according to the user, and select in these archive informations by user's interface 545.
At last, in step S630, MCC 540 relends by user's interface 545 and set up corresponding relation between identifying information and selecteed archive information.In view of the above, by the setting of MCC 540, corresponding archive information just can be browsed according to its access right with control point 510 in control point 505.That is to say, by user's interface 545 that MCC 540 is provided, can set easily different control points can access the medium file list.
Below further specify the method for the access right that utilizes each control point of user's interface setting again for an embodiment.
The 3rd embodiment: following embodiment is to be example with Fig. 5.At this, represent media server 515,520 and 525 respectively with media server A, B and C, and represent control point 505 and 510 respectively with control point A and B.
When MCC 540 is found to three media server A, B and C in network (multimedia system 500), and when two control point A that support MCC 540 were arranged at present with B, MCC 540 understands carry out the setting of control point access right by user's interface 545.In the present embodiment, suppose that media server A, B and C have shared two medium archives separately, be respectively media server A and share " msa1.mp3 " and " msa2.mp3 ", media server B shares " msb1.mp3 " and " msb2.mp3 ", and media server C shares " msc1.mp3 " and " msc2.mp3 ".
Please Figure 7 shows that the setting of control point A, and Figure 8 shows that the setting of control point B simultaneously with reference to Fig. 5, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8.The user can be set at " msa1.mp3 " by user's interface 543 and comes access (as shown in Figure 7) only can for control point A, and " msc2.mp3 " only is set at and can comes access (as shown in Figure 8) to control point B.
After finishing above-mentioned setting, different control point A, B is inequality at medium archives that can access, thereby can reach fail safe and the differentiated service that archives are shared easily.
For instance, please be simultaneously with reference to Fig. 5, Fig. 9 and Figure 10, wherein, Fig. 9 is the inventory that control point A is presented, and the inventory that Figure 10 is presented for control point B.
Manage medium archives in the multimedia system 500 because started MCC 540 this moment, therefore for the control point A, the B that include MCC 540 management in, only can have the media services module 541 of a MCC 540 in the multimedia system 500.In other words, control point A, B will can not see the medium archives that media server A, B, C are shared, but see that MCC 540 resets medium archives afterwards, as Fig. 9, shown in Figure 10.
That is to say that listed archives in the medium file list at each control point represent that promptly these archives can be by enough its accesses.With Fig. 9, control point A can access " msa1.mp3 ", " msa2.mp3 ", " msb1.mp3 ", " msb2.mp3 " and " msc1.mp3 ".And because " msc2.mp3 " do not set up corresponding relation with control point A, thereby control point A can't access " msc2.mp3 ".In addition, same archive information also can belong to the medium file list at more than one control point, as " msa2.mp3 ", " msb1.mp3 ", " msb2.mp3 " and " msc1.mp3 ".
By the result of Fig. 9 and Figure 10 as can be known, can make MCC 540 manage medium archives in the multimedia system 500 via above-mentioned setting, and then reach fail safe and the differentiated service that archives are shared.Yet with user's angle, if the inventory that is presented in the control point can be gone back intuitive, the user can also use easily.In view of the above, MCC 540 also provides the medium file administration mechanism based on label, and the user can be gone back fast and its desired archives of access intuitively.
Below lift an example explanation again.Please at this, continue the setting of above-mentioned Fig. 7, Fig. 8 simultaneously with reference to Fig. 5 and Figure 11~Figure 14.At first, the user can edit the label of (newly-increased or deletion) medium archives by user's interface 545 that MCC 540 is provided.
For example, the user has increased a label " Allegro " (as Figure 11, shown in Figure 12) newly, and label " Blue " is removed (as Figure 13, shown in Figure 14).After resetting label, user's interface 545 that can be provided by MCC 540 is once more set the corresponding relation of medium archives and label among media server A, B, the C.
Then, the archive information and the label of medium archives are done binding, as Figure 15, shown in Figure 16.Figure 15, Figure 16 are the schematic diagrames that label links of setting up that illustrates according to third embodiment of the invention.At this, have two groups of labels, i.e. " Allegro " and " Lento ".After the setting via Figure 15, Figure 16, " msa1.mp3 " reaches " msb2.mp3 " and sets up binding with label " Allegro ", and " msb1.mp3 " reaches " msc2.mp3 " and then set up binding with label " Lento ".
Because above-mentioned setting, the result that control point A and control point B are presented is then as Figure 17~shown in Figure 22.Figure 17~Figure 19 is the intuitive inventory of control point A, and Figure 20~Figure 22 is the intuitive inventory of control point B.In view of the above, use the user of control point A, B just can also choose apace to want the archives of playing.
Simultaneously, MCC 540 also can store the record of user's accessing file get off, so that presenting of label can be done ordering for the fancy grade of medium archives according to the user.For example, when in control point A access after " msa1.mp3 ", " msb2.mp3 " (label " Allegro ") and " msc1.mp3 " (label " Others "), presenting of its label will be as shown in figure 23.Figure 23 is the schematic diagram of arranging according to the label of third embodiment of the invention.At this, because label " Allegro " is maximum by the number of times of access, thereby before can being arranged in, be label " Others " secondly, then be not arranged at last by the label of access " Lento ".
In view of the above, utilizing after label classifies, the user just can also be in the mode of intuition also by the control point, according to the feature of archives itself, and comes accessing file by the label of ordering certainly.
In sum, in the above-described embodiments, utilize MCC to manage to be stored in the medium archives in all media servers, and further set the medium archives that each control point can access.Thus, not only can be under the prerequisite that does not change UPnP AV framework, archives are shared have fail safe with and reach differentiated service.In addition, MCC also utilizes label to come the medium archives are classified, and the user not only can dynamically manage label according to demand, also can be via the mode of intuition also, convenient with browse apace with the accessing multimedia system in any medium archives.
