In addition, the device details may include information of a communication module for making a call to a purchase or inquiry telephone number C310 for an object or interworking information to an application for Internet telephony.

Meanwhile, FIG. 4B illustrates a case where the additional information pages are generated by arranging the detailed items C302 to C310 of the additional information to be displayed at the resolution of the iPhone.

The content reproducing unit 240 reproduces the received content and displays an additional information notification signal indicating that there is additional information on the content or an object mapped to a specific area of the content.

In detail, the content playback unit 240 may render the content received from the content server 500 through the network to be reproduced on the first display device 100 and provide the content to the first display device.

In addition, when there is additional information of an object corresponding to the content, the content reproducing unit 240 plays a screen of the first display device 100 when a specific part of the content to which the corresponding additional information is mapped is played. The additional information notification signal for notifying the viewer that the additional information may be provided may be displayed.

For example, in FIG. 7A, when a bicycle is displayed on the screen while content is playing and there is additional information on the bicycle, the content playback unit 240 notifies that there is additional information on the bicycle. The additional information notification signal S710 may be displayed on the screen. In this case, the additional information notification signal S710 may be flickered at a predetermined interval or kept on for a predetermined time.

Thereafter, when the viewer selects to display the additional information by using an input device such as a remote controller, the content reproducing unit 240 recognizes the viewer's input as shown in FIG. Receive the list information (S720) of the available display device from the can be displayed on the screen of the first display device (100).

Then, when the viewer selects a desired display device from the list of display devices, the additional information page processed in a form suitable for the display device may be transferred and displayed.

The device information manager 250 collects and manages device detailed information of the display device to display additional information corresponding to the content. In detail, the device information manager 250 may acquire device detailed information of the display device to display additional information on the home network by using UPnP technology. In addition, the device information manager 250 stores device detailed information acquired from the display device, and provides the corresponding information when a device detailed information request is received from the content reproducing unit 240 or the device control unit 260 to be described later. Can be.

The device controller 260 controls the second display device 300 to reproduce the processed additional information. In detail, the device controller 260 notifies the second display device 300 of the storage location of the additional information page processed by the additional information processor 230 in accordance with the display format of the second display device 300. The second display device 300 may be instructed to display the corresponding additional information.

Through such a configuration, the media server 200 can be provided by using a convenient display device while watching the content to the viewer without disturbing the viewing of the content. In addition, when the viewer wants detailed additional information on the provided additional information or wants to purchase the corresponding object, the viewer may provide a desired purchase means or provide detailed information.

Hereinafter, a method of processing and providing additional information of content in a home network will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

5 and 6 are flowcharts illustrating a method of processing and providing additional information of content using a separate display device in a home network environment.

As shown in FIG. 5, a method of processing and displaying additional information of content includes collecting device detailed information of a display device connected to a home network, acquiring the additional information corresponding to the content, and displaying the detailed device information.
