The set top box 110 provides the television receiver 600 with IPTV content received from the IPTV content provider 900 via a data communication network. The content provider 900 refers to a provider who holds and provides various IPTV contents such as movies, dramas, and music.

The set-top box 110 is a device that restores the compressed signal transmitted from the content provider 900 to the original video and audio signal through the digital network. The configuration and function of such a set-top box 110 is well known to those skilled in the art. Therefore, in the present specification, the set-top box 110 of the present invention, in addition to the configuration and function of the set-top box 110, which are widely known, will be mainly described.

The set-top box 110 according to the present invention receives a request from the TV viewer to carry over to the portable terminal 800 for the IPTV content being played on the television receiver 600. In other words, the TV viewer requests to watch content such as a movie or drama through the television receiver 600 and then transmits the content to the mobile terminal 800 from a predetermined point of time of playing the content through the set-top box 110. In this case, the TV viewer may request a subsequent viewing by using a button of the remote control of the set-top box 110 or the body of the set-top box 110. However, the present invention is not limited by this method of requesting subsequent attempts.

Preferably, when receiving a subsequent request from the TV viewer, the set-top box 110 is preferably received from the TV viewer the telephone number of the mobile terminal 800 to be performed.

At this time, the input of the telephone number may be performed by receiving a number corresponding to the telephone number of the mobile terminal 800 from the TV viewer. 3 is a diagram illustrating a TV screen that receives a telephone number of a mobile terminal 800 to perform content resumption from a TV viewer according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Or, as shown at the bottom of Figure 3, by providing an interface for selecting the number on the screen form to receive a number from the TV viewer via the remote control of the set-top box 110 or the direction key of the main body of the set-top box 110 It is also possible.

In addition, the input of the telephone number may be performed by providing a plurality of pre-stored telephone number lists to the TV viewer, and receiving one of them from the TV viewer. That is, before the TV viewer requests the subsequent viewing, for example, when registering the IPTV service, the TV viewer may previously receive and store the telephone number of the mobile terminal 800 to perform the subsequent viewing from the TV viewer. In addition, the telephone number thus input is stored in a memory in the set top box 110 or a storage device such as a database 160. Thereafter, when the TV viewer requests the subsequent viewing through the set-top box 110, the TV receiver 600 displays a list of a plurality of pre-stored and stored telephone numbers so that the TV viewer can select one of the telephone numbers. do. 4 is a diagram illustrating a TV screen that receives a telephone number of a mobile terminal 800 to be followed by a TV viewer according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, a television receiver 600 is provided with an interface for selecting one of a plurality of telephone numbers for a TV viewer. Accordingly, the TV viewer can select one of a plurality of telephone number lists through the interface, and the selected telephone number is designated as the telephone number of the mobile terminal 800 to perform the subsequent viewing.

In general, IPTV services are contracted per household, and one household is usually composed of several members. Therefore, it is common for several TV viewers to exist in one set-top box. Therefore, storing multiple telephone numbers and having the TV viewer select one of them can improve the convenience of the TV viewer.

However, if there is only one household member who is provided with IPTV service or there is only one mobile terminal 800 to perform the following, one mobile terminal 800 telephone number is the database 160 or the set-top box 110. It is also possible to pre-store the memory in).

In this case, the set-top box 110 does not need to input the mobile terminal 800 phone number from the TV viewers one by one, and the viewing service is carried on the mobile terminal 800 corresponding to the pre-stored phone number when the subsequent viewing request is made. It is provided automatically.

On the other hand, the phone number input from the TV viewer through the set-top box 110 as described above is transmitted to the information providing module 120 of the following service providing system 100.

The information providing module 120 includes a phone number of the mobile terminal 800 where the ear viewing is performed, the title of the content to be continued, and the playing time, in response to a TV viewer's request for subsequent viewing through the set-top box 110. Collect playback information.

The information providing module 120 transmits the playback information including the title and playback time of the requested content to the SMS transmission / reception module 130, the content conversion module 140, and the streaming module 150. The playback point refers to a portion of the mobile terminal 800 that starts playback of content to be followed. That is, for a content having a total playing time of 60 minutes, if the playing time is set to 30 minutes 33 seconds, the content is not played from the beginning in the mobile terminal but only the content after 30 minutes 33 seconds is played in succession. .

The playback time may be determined based on a time point at which the TV viewer receives a subsequent viewing request, may be provided from the set top box 110, or may be determined by the information providing module 120.

The information providing module 120 may store, in the database 160, playback information including a mobile phone number 800, a title of a content to be continued, and a playback time.

The SMS transmission / reception module 130 generates an SMS for checking whether to carry out the content to the mobile terminal 800 telephone number provided by the information providing module 120, and the mobile terminal 800 telephone. Send to the number. 5 is a diagram illustrating a display screen on a mobile terminal 800 of an SMS for confirming whether to perform content retrieval received from the SMS transmission / reception module 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the SMS transmitted and received by the SMS transmission / reception module 130 includes a title of content to be followed. Accordingly, as shown in the drawing, the mobile terminal user who receives the SMS including the content title of 'Mummy 3' may know that the content to be followed by the movie is 'Mummy 3'.

In addition, the SMS is provided with an interface for receiving confirmation from the user whether to perform content retrieval. In FIG. 5, when the user wants to continue the content titled 'Mummy 3', the user selects 'OK'. On the other hand, if the user does not want to continue the content called 'Mummy 3', select 'Cancel'. However, such an interface is only one embodiment, and the present invention is not limited to this interface.

As shown in FIG. 5, the SMS transmission / reception module 130 preferably includes a content playback time in the SMS. In FIG. 5, a playback time of '33 minutes 10 seconds 'is displayed in the SMS, and the user does not start a movie called' Mummy 3 'from the beginning, but has elapsed '33 minutes 10 seconds' based on the start time of the movie. You can see that the movie will play.

When the playback point is included in the SMS as described above, the mobile terminal preview service providing system 120 may check the content playback information included in the message when the user's response message to the SMS is received. In this case, since the database 160 of the mobile terminal preview service providing system 120 does not need to store the playback information about the playback time anymore, the capacity and load of the database 160 can be reduced.

In addition, the SMS transmission / reception module 130 receives a response (confirmation or cancellation) message from the user of the mobile terminal 800 with respect to the transmitted SMS. That is, the mobile terminal service providing system 100 according to the present invention receives the user's intention of either 'confirmation' or 'cancel' from the mobile terminal 800 as a response message by the SMS transmission / reception module 130. do.

At this time, the SMS transmission and reception module 130 preferably instructs the streaming module 150 to transmit content only when the response from the user is an approval (confirmation) for the subsequent service.

According to the present invention, the user can perform the IPTV content retrieval using only a simple procedure such as selecting 'confirmation' or 'cancel' for the SMS transmitted to his mobile terminal 800. That is, the user does not need to search the Internet path where the content exists by accessing the wireless Internet through the mobile terminal 800 in order to connect the IPTV content to the mobile terminal 800 of the user. In addition, there is no need to perform a complicated procedure such as downloading the electronic program guide to the mobile terminal (800). Thus, subsequent viewing of IPTV content becomes very simple.

The content conversion module 140 receives information about a content title and a playback time to provide a resume service from the information providing module 120. Then, the content to be viewed is received from the content provider 900 and converted into a form that can be reproduced by the mobile terminal 800. In this case, since the specifications of the mobile terminal 800 are stored in advance in the database 160, the content conversion module 140 can check this by inquiring the database 160.

When converting the content provided from the content provider 900, the content conversion module 140 preferably converts only the content corresponding to the part after the playback time. That is, the content transmitted to the mobile terminal 800 in response to the TV viewer's request for resumption is the content portion after the playback time. Therefore, the content conversion module 140 does not need to receive all content from the content provider 900, and only partially receives and converts a part after the playback time. Accordingly, since the content conversion module 140 does not receive or convert unnecessary content parts, it is possible to reduce the time required for subsequent viewing and to reduce the capacity and load of the system.

Preferably, the mobile terminal service providing system 100 according to the present invention includes the content conversion module 140. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to these components, and a configuration in which a separate content conversion module 140 does not exist is also possible. That is, when the content provider 900 receives the content of the playable form from the mobile terminal 800, there is no need to go through a separate content conversion process. Therefore, in this case, the mobile terminal preview service providing system 100 may not include the content conversion module 140.

The streaming module 150 receives the corresponding content from the content provider 900 based on the playback information and streams it to the mobile terminal 800. If the content provided from the content provider 900 is not reproducible in the mobile terminal 800, the content converted by the content conversion module 140 is transmitted to the mobile terminal 800 for streaming. However, when the content provided from the content provider 900 is in a form that can be played in the mobile terminal 800, the content provided from the content provider 900 can be directly transmitted to the mobile terminal 800 without going through the content conversion module 140. have.

The streaming module 150 does not download the provided content to the mobile terminal 800, but provides the streaming content to the mobile terminal 800 in a streaming form. Accordingly, the system 100 for providing a subsequent service does not need to separately store the contents in the database 160 or the like.

The database 160 stores various types of information, data, and the like. In particular, the database 160 stores playback information including a phone number of the mobile terminal 800 to provide a subsequent service, a title of the contents to be continued, and a playback time. Accordingly, the information providing module 120 reads the reproduction information from the database 160 and provides the information to other modules.

The mobile terminal preview service providing system 100 for IPTV contents according to the present invention preferably further includes an authentication module 170 as shown in FIG. 2.

The authentication module 170 authenticates the user of the mobile terminal 800 when the SMS transmission / reception module 130 is requested to resume content from the user. Therefore, even when a user inputs a different mobile terminal phone number by mistake when inputting a phone number through the set-top box 110, the user can block access to the content resumption of a user who is not a party user. In addition, a child who is a minor may be prevented from watching an adult content by requesting to view the adult content on his or her mobile terminal.

Authentication of the user by the authentication module 170 may be implemented in various forms. For example, the user can check whether the user is a political party by receiving an ID and password from the user of the mobile terminal 800. In this case, the database 160 may store user authentication information (that is, an ID and a password) in advance. Therefore, the authentication module 170 may perform user authentication by comparing the authentication information input from the mobile terminal user with the authentication information stored in the database 160. In addition, the user authentication may be in the form of an adult authentication such as receiving a social security number.

When the collection of the reproduction information is completed, the information providing module 120 provides the SMS transmission and reception module 130 with the reproduction information including the mobile terminal 800 phone number, the title of the content, and the time of reproduction (S120). Next, the SMS transmission and reception module 130 generates an SMS of the form as shown in FIG. 5 based on the playback information, and transmits the SMS to the portable terminal 800 to provide a subsequent service (S130). After receiving the SMS of FIG. 5, the user responds to the SMS transmission / reception module 130 with the user's intention of executing the follow-up service by selecting the “confirm” or “cancel” menu (S140). Upon receiving the response from the user, the SMS transmission / reception module 130 transmits the response of the user to the information providing module 120 (S150).

If the user's response is an approval for the resume request, the information providing module 120 provides the playback information to the content conversion module 140 (S160). The content conversion module 140 requests the corresponding resume content from the content provider 900 (S170), and receives the corresponding content (S180).

The content conversion module 140 converts the content received from the content provider 900 into a form that can be played by the mobile terminal 800 that will execute the subsequent service (S190), and the streaming module 150 converts the content thus converted. Streaming processing from the time of reproduction is transmitted to the mobile terminal 800 in real time (S200).

On the other hand, when the content provided from the content provider 900 is a form that can be reproduced by the mobile terminal 800, the configuration that does not go through the conversion process of the content conversion module 140 is possible as described above.
