The network media player 12 can be a wiring network media player or a wireless network media player, and it is a wireless network media player in
While a user plays the data in the remote computer 10, the remote control 127 is used to select the folder 105 on the display 14, then a set of the multimedia data 107 of the folder 105 is selected, and a playing command is output to the remote computer 10. At the moment, the data-streaming module 103 outputs the multimedia data 107 to the network media player 12 through the streaming way, continuously the multimedia playing module 123 plays the multimedia data 107 and outputs the multimedia data 107 to the display 14.
According to the mention above, the disadvantages of the prior art are listed below:
To figure out the disadvantages may be an important issue to the persons skilled in the arts in order to develop a system for playing the data of a remote computer and its method. Further that, the system not only plays data with different formats, but also reads the data of all the folders of the remote computer.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a system and a method for playing data of a remote computer in order to play all formats of all data of all folders of the remote computer.
The system of the invention comprises the remote computer, a network media player and a display.
The remote computer comprises a memory, a data-identifying module, a data-streaming module, a data-processing module, and a first pointing device, wherein the memory is for storing a plurality of data, the data-identifying module is for identifying formats of the data inside the memory, the data-streaming module outputs data with a specified format of the formats through a streaming way according to identification results from the data-identifying module, the data-processing module transforms data without the specified format into the data with the specified format, and then delivers the data with the specified format to the data-streaming module, the first pointing device is for selecting or triggering the data of the memory.
The network media player can be a wiring network media player or a wireless network media player. For the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is a wireless network media player. Such that, the network media player comprises a wireless transmission module, a multimedia playing module, a second pointing device, and a pointing control module. Wherein the wireless transmission module transmits the data with the remote computer, the multimedia playing module is for playing the data with the specified format, the second pointing device is for outputting a command of selecting or triggering, the pointing control module is for receiving the command from the second pointing device and generating a corresponding command to operate the first pointing device, the display is connected to the network media player and shows the data played by the multimedia playing module.
The method for playing the system of the present invention comprises the steps of: selecting the data of the remote computer through the second pointing device; identifying whether the selected data conform with the data with the specified format; if yes, the data being transferred to the multimedia playing module through the streaming way for playing; otherwise, the data being opened in the remote computer; transforming the opened data in the remote computer to conform with the data with the specified format, which is played by the multimedia playing module; and delivering the transformed data to the multimedia playing module through the streaming way for playing.
Other and further features, advantages and benefits of the invention will become apparent in the following description taken in conjunction with the following drawings. It is to be understood that the foregoing general description and following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory but are not to be restrictive of the invention. The accompanying drawings are incorporated in and constitute a part of this application and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention in general terms. Like numerals refer to like parts throughout the disclosure.
The objects, spirits, and advantages of the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be readily understood by the accompanying drawings and detailed descriptions, wherein:
With references to
The remote computer 20 includes a memory 201, a data-identifying module 203, a data-streaming module 205, a data-processing module 207, and a first pointing device 209; wherein the memory 201 has a plurality of folders, which are at least one specified format folder 2014 and one file manager folder 2012, the file manager folder 2012 stores a plurality of formats, such as multimedia data, file data, etc., and the specified format folder 2014 stores data 2016 with specified format, the data 2016 support the network media player 22, so that the data 2016 are played in the network media player 22 directly.
The data-identifying module 203 identifies whether the data in the memory 201 conform with the data 2016 with the specified format, the data-streaming module 205 outputs the data 2016 with the specified format directly through a streaming way according to the results from the data-identifying module 203. The data-processing module 207 transforms data without the specified format to the data 2016 with the specified format, and then the transformed data are delivered to the data-streaming module 205 for outputting in the streaming way, the first pointing device 209 is to select or trigger the data of the memory 201.
The network media player 22 can be a wiring network media player or a wireless network media player. For the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is a wireless network media player. Such that, the network media player 22 includes a wireless transmission module 221, a multimedia playing module 223, a second pointing device 225, a pointing control module 227, and a user interface 229. Wherein the wireless transmission module 221 transmits data of the remote computer 20, the second pointing device 225 is for outputting a command of selecting or triggering, the pointing control module 227 is for receiving the command from the second pointing device 225 and generating a corresponding command to operate the first pointing device 209, the user interface 209 shows the folders of the memory 201 on the display 24 and includes at least one specified format folder 2014 and one file manager folder 2012, such folders are corresponding to the remote computer 201, therefore a user is able to select or trigger either folder shown on the display 24 through the second pointing device 225, and the second pointing device 225 can be a mouse or a remote control, the display 24 is connected to the network media player 22 and shows the data played by the network media player 22.
