[0051] Figure 8 Another example of a data processing system is shown. A portable electronic device 80 such as an iPOD is implemented together with a DVD recorder / player 81 .

[0052] Playing music is one of the common functions of iPod. Traditionally, iPods receive music files from a computer by downloading from a network storage location. In this example, the iPod can store a full version or a virtual version of a music file. A virtual file may contain an excerpt of the file content or other data about the file. Virtual files occupy only a small amount of storage space. The virtual file can be restored to its full version by receiving the corresponding content from the DVD recorder / player 81 or from a storage location on the network. When new content is entered into the iPod, it can be implemented Figure 2A ~ Figure 2C and image 3 Methods.

Abstract

Apparatus for playing and managing multimedia items include a primary storage, a browser and a converter. The converter is used for converting multimedia items from a first item type to a second itemtype. The browser provides a unified operating interface for accessing multimedia items of both the first item type and the second item type. By dynamically converting the item type of the multimediaitems on the primary storage, a better user experience is provided even the capacity of the primary storage is limited.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a multimedia management and playback device, in particular to a multimedia management and playback device with flexible storage allocation (MULTIMEDIA MANAGEMENT AND PLAYBACKAPPARATUS). Background technique [0002] File storage management is an important and growing problem for multimedia processing systems such as home media centers that can play and edit broadcast video, audio, video or streaming media. As far as home media centers are concerned, one of the main issues related to storage is file management. Generally speaking, media files are scattered among various DVDs or other storage media. When the number of DVD / CDR discs increases, file management becomes more complicated. Contents of the invention [0003] An embodiment of the present invention provides a multimedia management and playing device, which can save memory storage devices. The multimedia management and playing device includes a basic storage device, a...
