Here, the environment setting server 100, the main server 200 and the client 300 of the system is connected to each other via a network such as the Internet through a wireless network and / or wired network by a widely known method. The screen included in the client 300 may be various display devices such as a monitor, a television, an electronic display board, and any type of device capable of displaying predetermined content such as text, images, and moving images. In addition, the content displayed on the screen of the client 300, as described above, including a text, an image and / or a video, and various multimedia content, flash, which can be configured based on content such as text, image, video, etc. Flash files, PowerPoint presentations, as well as stock information, securities information, and broadcasts through various media such as over-the-air broadcasts, satellite broadcasts, and Internet broadcasts may also be included. It may be provided by a video on demand (VOD) or streaming method.

The environment setting information database 1002 of the environment setting server 100 stores, for one or more clients, environment setting information which is information necessary for displaying predetermined content on a terminal screen of the client. Here, the environment setting information includes information about content to be displayed on the terminal screen, information about a time at which the display of the content starts on the terminal screen, information about a shape to be divided when the terminal screen is divided, and division. Information including at least one of information on the number of pieces of information, information on content to be displayed in each divided area, and information on time of starting display of content in each of the divided areas. In addition, if the information can be used to display content on the terminal screen of the client, there is no limitation on the type of information.

More specifically, i) the information about the content to be displayed on the terminal screen or the information about the content to be displayed on each divided area of the terminal screen, for example, the content is in the form of a digitized file such as multimedia content In case of the content of the content file, the name, type, content, size, stored location, total playback time of the content file, and information on which area of the divided area will be displayed if the screen is divided. When the content is broadcast content obtained through broadcast reception, the channel, content, etc. of the broadcast may correspond thereto. And ii) the time at which the display of the content is started on the terminal screen or the time at which the display of the content is started at each divided area of the screen is the actual time at which the content is displayed on the terminal screen of the client. Or it refers to a certain time calculated based on a specific time. In addition, iii) when the information about the shape of the divided screen is set so that the screen is divided into planes of the client display device so as to display predetermined content in each of the divided planes. In other words, it refers to information on the shape of the divided area, that is, the area in which the predetermined content can be displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the screen has a rectangular shape and the screen is divided into a plurality of areas having a rectangular shape, the position of a line dividing the screen vertically (FIG. In Fig. 3, the position determined by A and B, the position of the line dividing the screen horizontally (the position determined by C and D in Fig. 3), and the length of each line, etc. Information may correspond to. Of course, the screen may be divided into diagonal lines or curves instead of horizontal lines and vertical lines, and in each case, suitable information that may indicate the shape of the divided region may be stored in the configuration information database 1002. The number of divided screens is the number of divided areas set on one screen of the display device of the client. For example, the number of divided screens is three in FIG. 3. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the shape and the number of dividing the screens may be variously set as necessary. For this purpose, the environment setting information database 1002 may include the shape and / or number of the divided screens. The environment setting information set in correspondence to the shape may be stored in correspondence with the shape and / or number of divisions of the screen.

In addition, the configuration information database 1002 may be configured to store the configuration information for one or more clients, i) for each client, and ii) to one or more clients divided by a predetermined criterion, such as regional classification. Iii) store a single set of configuration information uniformly applied to all clients, and iv) a plurality of environments selectively applicable to one client. The setting information can be stored, and v) each of the above schemes can be stored in combination.

Meanwhile, the environment setting information management request receiving module 1004 of the environment setting server 100 receives a management request for environment setting information stored in the environment setting information database 1002 transmitted through a network such as the Internet from a user or an administrator of the system. . The received management request is a request for managing the environment setting information by performing an operation such as adding, deleting or changing the environment setting information.

When the configuration information management request receiving module 1004 receives a predetermined management request from the user or the administrator of the system, the configuration information management authority authentication module 1006 of the configuration server 100 receives the received management request. It is determined whether the request is received from the central administrator or the local administrator. More specifically, the central administrator refers to a user or administrator having central management authority for the configuration information stored in the configuration information database, wherein the central management authority refers to an environment for all clients stored in the configuration information database 1002. Authority to manage configuration information.

As noted, it may be implemented to provide a user interface in the form of a web page on a particular web site. In this case, the user or the administrator may transmit a management request for the environment setting information to the environment setting server through a browser that can access the web page and display the content of the web page on the terminal screen.

In more detail with reference to FIG. 5, when the user or the administrator inputs management authority information composed of ID and / or password through the web page shown in FIG. 5 and requests management of environment setting information, the environment The configuration information management request receiving module 1004 receives the management request transmitted through a network such as the Internet, and the configuration information management authority authentication module 1006 receives, for example, an ID and / or password inputted through the web page. Based on the determination, it is determined whether the received management request is a request from a central manager or a local manager.

If the received management request is a request from the central administrator, the configuration information management module 1008 may be configured to transmit the configuration information database 1002 according to the management request received by the configuration information management request reception module. I) save new configuration information to be applied to the client by adding new configuration information to the configuration information database 1002, or ii) changing the contents of already created and stored configuration information, or iii) storing If necessary environment setting information is unnecessary, the environment setting information for the client is managed. In this case, the scope of the environment setting information that can be managed by the environment setting information management module 1008 is not particularly limited.

On the other hand, when the received management request is a request from a local administrator as determined by the configuration information management authority authentication module 1006, the configuration information management control module 1010 causes the configuration information management module 1008 to request the management request. The local administrator who transmits the data can be managed by adding, deleting, or changing only environment setting information about a specific client or a specific client group having the management authority.

In other words, the system of the first embodiment can easily manage collectively through the configuration server, without having to individually configure and manage the configuration information for the client for each client. Since the setting information can be managed more efficiently, and the client side also manages, for example, the environment setting information for the client or the client group to which the client belongs, according to the management authority granted to the client. It is possible to provide a display more suited to the usage environment.

On the other hand, the main server 200, the configuration information request receiving module 2002, the configuration information inquiry module 2004, the configuration information transmission module 2006, the content database 2010, the content request receiving module 2012, the content loading module 2014, and the content transmission module Includes 2016.
