When receiving the download request of the content indicated by the certificate issued normally, the content is downloaded to the computer through the web browser of the computer that sent the download request (S600). Downloading the content to the computer (S600), the step of showing the information that the content is down to the user, the step of downloading the content selected by the user from the download server to the computer in a physical form (for example, a file) and the content It may have a step of notifying that the download is complete after the download. Mobile content may be stored in a file on a computer.

In the step S600 of downloading the content to the computer, the content may be encrypted and downloaded to the computer through a web browser of the computer. That is, mobile content may be encrypted through a web browser and stored in a PC.

In addition, the functions of transferring, re-downloading, and deleting contents from the PC to the mobile device can be made available only in the web browser. In addition, if there is no access for a certain time, it may be possible to have an automatic deletion function or to transmit the content to another mobile device unless the mobile device is authenticated with the content.

After downloading the content to the computer, the content downloaded to the computer is transmitted to the mobile device indicated by the certificate (S800).

At this time, there is a fear that other PC users copy the downloaded content to their mobile devices, but the content is not transmitted unless it is an authorized mobile device.

At this time, the contents issued by the certificate can be freely downloaded to their mobile devices within a certain period of time. That is, the authenticated mobile device may copy or store the corresponding content until the certificate validity period as long as there is an issued certificate. However, in order to properly configure the billing, a valid certificate per content is issued at the relevant site.

In addition, to facilitate the user's convenience, plug-ins such as Active X and Java machines are automatically executed when the user accesses the homepage to download the mobile content and access the mobile device from Internet Explorer or other web browsers.
