APPARATUS AND METHOD OF REPRODUCING MULTIMEDIA DATA REFERENCING A VIRTUAL FILE SYSTEM

摘要

An apparatus and a method that creates a virtual file system by combining directory information of data recorded on an information storage medium and directory information of data downloaded from a network and reproducing multimedia data with reference to the virtual file system. The reproducing apparatus includes: a local storage to store data downloaded from a network; a reading unit to read data stored in an information storage medium and the data stored in the local storage; and a reproducing unit to create a virtual file system and to reproduce the data stored in the local storage together with the data stored in the information storage medium with reference to the virtual file system. Therefore, an application which accesses data stored in a local storage or an information storage medium may be created, and new contents may be easily added.
