Abstract
A method and apparatus for synchronizing multimedia content with a client device which supports a multi-server environment are provided. The server includes a synchronization policy management unit which acquires a synchronization policy; a synchronization information collector which collects log information of a previously performed synchronization and of a change occurring after the previously performed synchronization; a synchronization processor which performs synchronization in accordance with the collected log information; a change log management unit which stores a result of the synchronization; an interface unit 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 based on the collected log information; storing a result of the synchronization in the log information.
