Provided is an information processing device including an application execution unit configured to perform a record data generation process according to a first file system, a second medium compatible file system unit configured to perform a data recording process according to a second file system different from the first file system, and a file conversion processing unit configured to perform a conversion process between a file compatible with the first file system and a file compatible with the second file system.

Embodiments are directed towards providing fast setup of a storage device communicatively coupled to a television receiver. During initial setup of the storage device, an initial portion of the storage device is partitioned to provide accessibility for the television receiver to store content. However, the initial partition is only a subset of the maximum storage capacity of the storage device, which results in a second remainder portion of the storage device that is inaccessible for the television receiver to store audiovisual content. In response to a triggering event, the television receiver initiates a full partition process to partition the remainder of the storage device that was previously inaccessible for storing content. Once partitioned, the television receiver can then utilize the remainder portion of the storage device for storing long-term recorded content. The television receiver also converts the initial partition into a buffer that is used to temporarily store content.

A processing device sends a first list of content comprising an unsolicited electronic content item to be stored on a first device associated with a user profile. The processing device receives information describing a first state of storage space on the first device. The processing device determines at least one of an amount of total free space or an amount of available free space on a second device associated with the user profile. The processing device then determines a second list of content using the first state of the storage space on the first device and at least one of the amount of total free space or the amount of available free space on the second device and sends the second list to the second device.

Provided is a content management system in which a card may be associated with a predetermined content by a content provider, specifically, a card 10 is read by the content provider with an imaging device of a content registration terminal 20 and a code as obtained and a content 5 are transmitted to a content management server 40 so that the card and the content 5 are associatively stored in a content management table 461, and meanwhile, the card 10 is read by a content viewer with an imaging device of a content viewing terminal 30 and the code as obtained is transmitted to the content management server 40 so that the content 5 associated with the card is reproduced.

Disclosed are a method for controlling a device including at least one memory, and a smart TV. The method comprises the steps of: receiving, from a remote controller, a signal for executing at least one application; outputting video data and audio data of the executed application; temporarily storing the executed application in an internal memory; swapping, to an external memory, a page corresponding to a specific application of the at least one application stored in the internal memory; and displaying information on the application swapped to the external memory.

A battery-powered wireless content loader for an entertainment system of a vehicle includes a multi-mode wireless data communications module with at least a first communications mode and a second communications mode. A controller establishes a data link to a remote content server with the multi-mode wireless data communications module to retrieve multimedia content from the remote content server. The controller selects either one or both of the communications modes based at least in part upon an evaluation of availability of an access point for the first communications mode within range. A data storage device stores the retrieved multimedia content. An electrical power storage supplies power in response to the vehicle being powered down. The controller copies the multimedia content stored on the data storage device to a content server of the entertainment system following the electrical system of the vehicle being powered up.

Methods, systems, and computer readable media may be operable to facilitate the dynamic selection of a storage device for storing media. When a recording request is received, storage information associated with resources of one or more networks and one or more storage devices may be retrieved, and a network may be selected for recording and storing the requested media based upon an algorithm that considers the retrieved information. One or more specific storage devices located on the selected network may be selected for recording and storing the requested media. The selection of the one or more specific storage devices may be made based upon an algorithm that considers the available resources and capabilities of available storage devices.

A method for managing license information for playback of content, includes transmitting certificate information of a storage device to a license serve, updating a certificate revision list received from the license server on the basis of the certificate information, receiving encrypted license information allowing the content to be played through a first session established between the storage device and the license server, the first session being identified by session identification information, and decrypting the encrypted license information and storing the decrypted license information to a secure region.

A video streaming service system may include a home media sever configured to send wireless network information to a dongle device when the dongle device is connected to the home media server and the dongle device configured to receive the wireless network information from the home media server and maintain the connection with a home network by configuring the received wireless network information.

In particular embodiments, a method includes identifying a particular show being viewed on a first display device by a user and determining that a commercial break occurs within the particular show being viewed on the first display device. The method further includes determining a second display device associated with the user and providing targeted content for display on the second display device during the commercial break that is being displayed on the first display device. The targeted content includes content that is related to the particular show in which the commercial break occurs.
