FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a transmission interval of first information transmitted through the wireless transmitting apparatus 200 shown in FIG. As shown by way of example only in FIG. 5, the beacon signal located in the beacon frame is transmitted to the user device 300 located on the short range by the wireless transmitting apparatus 200 managing the short-range wireless network, A Superframe Order (S0) value and a Beacon Order (BO) value for synchronizing with the user device 300 and determining the structure of the super frame. For reference, the Superframe Order (S0) value and the Beacon Order (BO) value are values for which the wireless transmitting apparatus 200 determines the state of the short-range wireless network.

The wireless transmitting apparatus 200 transmits the sub-beacon to the user device 300 located in the near area in the 0th slot (i.e., the beacon slot interval) of the super frame.

In this case, the user device 300 determines a beacon interval (BI) between the sub beacons using a Beacon Order (BO) value after receiving the sub beacon, and determines a Beacon Interval (BI) Duration).

Here, the beacon interval (BI) is the length until the next sub-beacon is transmitted, and SD (Superframe Duration) is the length from the beginning of the beacon frame to the end of the active interval. Meanwhile, as the beacon interval (BI) and the superframe duration (SD) are determined, the inactive interval is automatically determined.

Thereafter, a contention access period (CAP), which is a period in which a beacon signal is transmitted and a user attempts to make a communication connection between the user devices 300 located in a short distance region, Access Period), communication is preferably performed through a CSMA / CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Avoidance) method.

A contention access period (CAP) is a period that can be reduced according to a contention free period (CFP) and a contention free period (CFP) for transmission of content for a broadcast service. CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Avoidance) scheme.

Also, before the end of the contention access period (CAP), the response signal transmission and reception of the user device 300 and the IFS (Inter Frame Spaces) period must be terminated, and all commands for broadcasting the content in the short- The frame is also communicated over this interval.

Contention Access Period (CAP) A dedicated interval for a broadcast service starts with the start of the next slot, and this dedicated interval is allocated by allocating at least one broadcast service time slot for transmitting the content in a broadcast manner.

For example, KBS1 has a value of 0x00 and is serviced in the first broadcasting service time slot. The MBC has a value of 0x01, and the second broadcasting service time slot Can be a service.

During such a dedicated period, the communication for the allocated broadcast service is ensured and the communication using the CSMA / CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Avoidance) method is not used.

Thereafter, a contention free period (CFP) continues from the next slot at which the dedicated section ends to the slot at which the SD (Superframe Duration) ends. The Contention Free Period (CFP) includes at least one or more Guaranteed Time Slots (GTS), which is an interval for operation of an application requesting an application or bandwidth allocation for communication with the user device 300.

In the Contention Free Period (CFP), communication is guaranteed to the user device 300 that has been assigned a GTS (Guaranteed Time Slot), and communication using CSMA / CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Avoidance) is not used.

If the user does not wish to receive detailed information on the first information in step S15, the process ends without additional process (S17).

On the other hand, if it is desired to receive detailed information on the first information in step S15, the user device 300 requests the wireless transmission device 200 to establish a communication connection using the URL information included in the first information S19 and S21).

The wireless transmitting apparatus 200 connects to the service management server 100 of the first network through the URL information and establishes a communication connection with the user device 300 (S23 to S27).

Thereafter, the user device 300 forms the second information (S29 to S33) by executing the web setting to receive detailed information on the first information based on the communication connection being connected.

The service management server 100 transmits the formed second information to the user device 300 via the wireless transmitting apparatus 200 (S35 to S37).

The user device 300 displays and outputs the received second information on the terminal screen (S39).
