  First, when travel location information is received from the user terminal device 300, the first content providing unit 210 refers to a first database (not shown) that can be included in the content providing system 200 or the content server 400. By extracting the first content related to the location information and sending it to the user terminal device 300, a function can be provided so that the first content is provided to the user through the application of the user terminal device 300.

Therefore, the user can access and use the traditional travel information related to the travel location through an application on his / her terminal device 300.
Next, when the travel location information is received from the user terminal device 300, or when the first content itself or a part thereof is selected by the user, the second content providing unit 220 sends the content providing system 200 or the content server 400 to the content providing system 200 or the content server 400. The second content associated with the travel location information and the second content is extracted with reference to a second database (not shown) that can be included, and the second content is transmitted to the user terminal device 300, whereby the second content is A function to be provided to the user through the application of the apparatus 300 can be performed. In such a case, a relationship may already exist between the first content and the second content. For example, map content representing a travel route of a travel location that is a type of first content and an image of a scene of a drama shot at a specific point selected on the map content that is a type of second content are related to each other. It is possible that Such relevance can be ensured by tacking the second content with respect to the first content or vice versa, cross-reference between the first content and the second content (for example, cross-reference based on the content ID), or the like. .

  On the other hand, when the first content or the second content as described above is provided to the user, the advertisement content can be further provided by the content providing system 200 or an application.

Next, the communication unit 230 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention can perform a function of enabling transmission / reception of data to / from the first content providing unit 210 and the second content providing unit 220.
Finally, the controller 240 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention can perform a function of controlling the flow of data among the first content providing unit 210, the second content providing unit 220, and the communication unit 230. That is, the control unit 240 according to the present invention controls the flow of data from / to the outside of the content providing system 200 or the data flow between the components of the content providing system 200, so that the first content providing unit 210, the second content providing unit 220, and the communication unit 230 can be controlled so as to perform specific functions.
