When a user rating for a specific book is input by the user input, the server processor 250 may recommend a book based on the input rating. For example, the server processor 250 may generate a time-based book recommendation list. That is, the server processor 250 checks the time zone to which the user terminal 100 is currently accessed, checks the book contents that users mainly search for in the current time zone, and then provides a book recommendation list based on the rating entered by the user. I can. Alternatively, the server processor 250 may generate a region-based book recommendation list. For example, the server processor 250 checks the region to which the user terminal 100 is accessed based on IP, and for book contents to which users residing in the region to which the user terminal 100 is accessed have given a user rating equal to or higher than a specified value. After categorizing by type, a list of recommended books can be created and provided.

In step 415, the server processor 250 may check whether an event related to the termination of the server use of the user terminal 100 occurs. The event related to the termination of use of the server may include, for example, an event of receiving a message from the user terminal 100 according to a user input related to the termination of the book recommendation function or a user input related to the application termination. If there is no event related to the end of the server use, the server processor 250 may branch to step 405 and perform the following operation again. When an event related to the termination of use of the server occurs, the server processor 250 may release the connection of the user terminal 100 and process execution of a specified function.

Additionally, when the user terminal 100 inputs a user rating for a specific book content, the server processor 250 checks the logged-in user information, and among users who have user information similar to the user, the corresponding book content User information of some users who have given similar ratings can be checked. The server processor 250 may generate and provide a book recommendation list based on book contents to which some users have given a rating equal to or higher than a specified value.

In addition, the user terminal 100 may collect blinking while the user is browsing the book content, and detect the degree of immersion in the book content based on the interval between blinks or the number of occurrences within a specified time. For example, the user terminal 100 may give a relatively high immersion score as the number of blinks within a specified time decreases, and a relatively small immersion score as the number of blinks within a specified time increases. The user terminal 100 may provide the acquired immersion score to the service device 200. The service device 200 may assign a rating for a corresponding book content based on an immersion score provided by the user terminal 100 or may adjust a weight for a rating given by a user. For example, the service device 200 may automatically assign a higher rating as the degree of immersion is higher, and automatically assign a lower rating as the degree of immersion is lower. Alternatively, the service device 200 may set a higher weight for a rating given by a user as the degree of immersion is higher, and set a lower weight for a rating given by the user as the degree of immersion is lower. When the rating is obtained, the service device 200 may generate a book recommendation list according to the method described above using the obtained rating and provide it to the user terminal 100.
