13 is a diagram illustrating an exemplary operation of the second mobile terminal 200 that has received the message including the source information 40 for the content C2 shown in FIG.

In the following description, the source information for the content C2 will be referred to as execution information of the content C2.

Referring to FIG. 13, the second mobile terminal 200 can receive a predetermined message from an external device.

Here, the external device may be divided into a first external device (11) and a second external device (12). The first external device 11 and the second external device 12 can perform the processes described in the above embodiments.

For example, the first external device 11 can execute the DRM content (S11).

The second external device 12 is formed with a predetermined network so that the first external device 12 can share the screen with the first external device 12. For example, the first external device 11 and the second external device 12 have an environment in which screens can be mutually shared through the DLNA network.

When the first external device 11 receives the screen capture command from the second external device 12 (S12), the first external device 11 can capture the content execution screen (S13).

Meanwhile, the first external device 11 may perform screen capturing on its own, regardless of a screen capture command of the second external device 12. [

The second external device 12 can receive the capture data from the first external device 11 (S14).

Here, the capture data may include at least one of a capture image for the content execution screen, capture time information, URL information of the content, web page address information capable of retrieving the content, and title information of the content .

Then, the second external device 12 can transmit the received capture data to the second mobile terminal 200 in the form of a message (S15).

The second mobile terminal 200 may receive a message including the content execution information from the second external device 12 (S310).

Here, the message including the content execution information may include at least one of a captured image for the content execution screen, capture time information, URL information of the content, web page address information capable of searching the content, and title information of the content . ≪ / RTI >

In addition, when the content is DRM content, the content execution information may include at least one of remaining information excluding a captured image for the content execution screen.

The second mobile terminal 200 may determine whether the content is stored in the memory of the second mobile terminal 200 in association with the content execution information included in the received message at step S320.

If the second mobile terminal 200 stores the content (S320: YES), the second mobile terminal 200 can execute the content based on the reproduction time information included in the content execution information (S340) .

For example, when the content is a moving image, the second mobile terminal 200 can reproduce the moving image from the content reproduction time point based on the content reproduction time point information.

On the other hand, if the second mobile terminal 200 does not store the content (S320: NO), the second mobile terminal 200 may display a web page for searching the content on the display unit. Here, a message including the content execution information may include web page address information for searching the content.

Referring to FIG. 14, when receiving a message including the content execution information and receiving an input for selecting the message, the second mobile terminal 200 determines that the file related to the content C2 exists in the second mobile terminal 200 Can be determined first.

For example, when the content C2 to which the DRM is applied is stored in the second mobile terminal 200, the second mobile terminal 100 refers to the capture time information 42 included in the message, The content C2 can be reproduced by the second mobile terminal 200 from the capture time.
