A mobile device which downloads and displays the data to the TV set in advance;
A personal computer (PC) which registers a corresponding TV key after authentication of a subscriber for a content sharing service using an activation key displayed on the TV, and downloads and displays necessary content information owned by another device to the previously set TV;
Process the creation function for the user account of the content sharing service transmitted from the mobile device, issue the activation key to the TV according to the subscribed user account, and the mobile device and the PC requested through the subscribed user account. It provides a communication system for managing a user account and a shared folder for media sharing, including; a media sharing server for storing and managing shared content information in a shared folder or transmitting and processing only to the TV set.
Another feature of the present invention includes a user account setting process of setting a user account for a content sharing service after accessing a media sharing server through a built-in setting menu of a mobile device;
A TV activation key automatic transmission process for automatically transmitting a signal for generating an activation key immediately after the TV to be used for the content sharing service is connected to an external communication network after the user account setting process;
A TV activation key automatic issuing process, after the TV activation key automatic transmission process, the shared media server transmits the activation key to the corresponding TV requesting the generation of the activation key;
A TV key registration process in which a mobile device or a PC registers a corresponding TV key after authenticating a subscriber for a content sharing service using an activation key displayed on a screen of a TV to be used for a content sharing service after the TV activation key automatic issuance process;
A content folder management process of creating, modifying, viewing and deleting a content folder on the media sharing server after accessing the media sharing server through the authentication related information set by the mobile device or the PC after the TV key registration process;
During the content folder management process, the user accesses the media sharing server through his or her own authentication related information registered in the mobile device or the PC, and inquires or adds / deletes (deactivates) the list of devices in the device management list in the media sharing server. A device management process of displaying the operation state of the corresponding devices in the corresponding list information;
After the device management process, the shared file transfer display process for the mobile device and the PC to transfer the shared file in the content folder in the media sharing server to the TV to which they registered the key to display; It provides control method of communication system to manage user account and shared folder.
The present invention as described above is connected to an external communication network and set the TV to operate only as a content display function, except for some control and selection functions, and then various types of multimedia shared on the external communication network without the user complicated operation of the TV. By simply displaying the information on the screen of the TV, it is easy to utilize the shared information even if the TV user cannot use the complicated user account in order to use various kinds of shared multimedia information provided in the server of the external communication network. Therefore, there is an effect of maximizing the usability of the media equipment accordingly.
In addition, according to the present invention, since the content information in the shared shared folder can be utilized after registering the subscriber ID in the content group sharing space in the media sharing server, the media information can be shared among a plurality of users. It also has the effect of maximizing the sharing of information.
