In addition, the ubiquitous mobile ASP service is a service that provides functions such as streaming service, playback, viewing, printing, etc. on all mobile files (i.e., mobile phone, PDA, or telematics device) for all kinds of files. .

The ubiquitous mobile P2P service is a service that allows the content to be shared with other subscribers.

The configuration of the personal space providing apparatus in the above ubiquitous environment will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

2 is a view showing the configuration of a personal space providing apparatus in a ubiquitous environment according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the providing apparatus includes: a core module 230 providing various service functions proposed in FIG. 1; A transmission module 220 for controlling and managing a transmission channel; Legacy interface module 240 to provide interworking with existing installed systems; And a CP linkage module 210 that performs interworking with CPs providing content.

In this case, as a service channel interworking with the personal space providing apparatus, the wired / wireless internet, wired / wireless PTT service, homepage service, PDA service, location-based service, multimedia service, etc. through the transmission module 220 and the CP interlocking module 210. For example, as an external interworking system may be billing, SMS / PPG, SMPT, DRM, DCMF, UA Profile, and PMS, for example, the service application through the CP linkage module 210, MMS, VOD, For example, UMPS.

The core module 230 includes a subscriber manager 232, a file or directory manager 233 as a center of a service provided by the personal space providing apparatus; An application service manager 231; And a data storage management unit 234.

The subscriber manager 232 provides a management function such as a subscriber's registration / change / view / delete function.

The file or directory manager 233 provides a subscriber with functions such as registration / change / move / delete / copy of basic files and folders through any device. In particular, the subscriber through a PC can provide the above-described functions through a wired web or a dedicated program. In addition, the file or directory manager 233 provides a function for sharing a file stored by the subscriber in the personal space providing apparatus between individuals or groups.

The application service manager 231 performs a function of transmitting files stored in the personal space providing apparatus. For example, it can be transmitted to a device such as a terminal, a print, a fax, an e-mail, and the like, and provides an audio / video multimedia service and document search and editing function in real time.

On the other hand, applications that can be linked to the above-described personal space providing apparatus, billing, SMS / PPG, SMPT, DRM, DCMF, MMS, VOD, UMPS and PMS are examples.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a service provided through an apparatus for providing a personal space in a ubiquitous environment according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1) mobile web hard service

3 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a mobile web hard service in a ubiquitous environment according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in which a subscriber is provided with content information related to various services as well as the concept of simply sharing a disk through the personal space providing apparatus. Allows integrated inquiry, sharing and management.

To this end, it provides subscribers with an integrated viewer and interface through the virtualization of data and content storage of the service and application. Accordingly, integrated search is possible through the personal space providing apparatus without having to access each service system individually to find contents held by the subscriber, and can be shared and used by other systems as necessary.

2) Mobile application service

4 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a mobile application service in a ubiquitous environment according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in which a subscriber transmits a print, mail, fax, etc. according to the type of content through the personal space providing apparatus, or audio. By linking the play function that can directly play / video data and the document work tool which can view or modify the document contents, there is no need to install a separate application.

Examples of the mobile application described above include a transcoder 410 that adjusts an attribute value of a corresponding content according to device information used by a subscriber in association with user profile information such as UAPIS; A browser 420 for automatically executing an appropriate browsing tool according to the data format of the content; A printer 430 for setting a printing environment and providing an interface to output to an external printer; An editor 440 for viewing document of various formats and providing document work tool functions such as editing and deleting functions; And a player 450 that automatically executes a playback application for multimedia such as music files and videos and provides a streaming service in real time.

3) Mobile P2P Service
