Method and apparatus for synchronising multimedia content with device which supports multi-server environment

摘要

A method and apparatus for synchronizing multimedia content with a client device (200) which supports a multi-server environment are provided. The server (100) includes a synchronization policy management unit (120) which acquires a synchronization policy; a synchronization information collector (150) which collects log information of a previously performed synchronization and of a change occurring after the previously performed synchronization; a synchronization processor (140) which performs synchronization in accordance with the collected log information; a change log management unit (160) which stores a result of the synchronization; an interface unit (114) which transmits the log information; and a storage unit which stores the multimedia content and the meta data of the multimedia content. The method includes acquiring a synchronization policy; collecting log information of a previous synchronization; performing synchronization with the client (200) based on the collected log information; storing a result of the synchronization in the log information.
