MEDIA DATA STORAGE DEVICE CAPABLE OF DETERMINING WHETHER REQUESTED MEDIA IS REPRODUCIBLE AND TRANSMISSION METHOD TEHREOF

摘要

A media data storage device having an interface to communicate data with an external electronic device comprises a first memory to store at least one media data object, a second memory to store predetermined reproducibility information including whether the at least one media data object is reproducible in the external electronic device, and a controller to determine whether a requested media data object is reproducible in the external electronic device according to the predetermined reproducibility information when the external electronic device requests the media data object stored in the first memory and to transmit a result of the determination to the external electronic device when the requested media data object is not reproducible in the external electronic device.
