[0051] Fig. 8 shows another example of a data processing system. 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 input into the iPOD, the methods shown in FIG. 2A-FIG. 2C and FIG. 3 can be implemented.

Abstract

A multimedia management and playing device and a data processing method, the device includes a basic storage device, a browser, and a converter. The basic storage device stores multimedia items belonging to a first item type and a second item type, wherein each multimedia item belonging to the first item type includes complete multimedia data, and each multimedia item belonging to the second item type A multimedia item contains only a part of multimedia data. The converter converts multimedia items belonging to a first item type into a second item type. The browser provides a unified operation interface for accessing multimedia items belonging to the first item type and the second item type. The present invention can provide a better user experience even when the capacity of the basic storage device is limited by dynamically switching the item types of the multimedia items in the basic storage device.

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...
