According to one embodiment, the figure recognition unit based on the first code information received from the first figure 620 and the second code information received from the second figure 630, the first figure 620 and A correlation between the second figures 630 may be confirmed. In more detail, the figure recognition unit may identify information on the relationship included in the first code information and information on the relationship included in the second code information. The figure recognition unit may determine whether the first code information and the second code information are codes that match each other, based on the confirmation result.

For example, the first code information may be in a state matched with the second code information to the fourth code information. In addition, the second code information may be in a state in which the first code information and the third code information to the fifth code information are matched. The figure recognition unit checks the information on the relationship included in the first code information, and checks the information on the relationship included in the second code information, so that the first code information and the second code information are It can be confirmed that it is code information corresponding to each other.

According to an embodiment, when it is determined by the figure recognition unit that the relation between the first code information and the second code information is a matching relation, the content update unit (not shown) may add the determined relation to each other. based third content information may be received from the content management device. The content management device may be a management server of a company that produces or manages content. In addition, the third content information may be information that can be received from the content management device when the first code information and the second code information have a matching relationship. That is, the third content information may be information that can be obtained only based on a matching relationship between figures, unlike the first content information.

According to an embodiment, the third content information includes at least one of drama content, movie content, animation content, and record content, which are realized by simultaneously appearing and appearing the character of the first figure 620 and the character of the second figure 630 . It may be limited content information including one. In more detail, the third content information may be a director's cut of movie content, a theater version of animation content, and a limited album of music content.
