The registration unit 211, the search unit 212, and the provider 213 may be configured to perform the steps of FIG. 3.

In step 310, the registration unit 211 registers attribute information for each webtoon to be serviced. At this time, the property information indicates information related to the webtoon (eg, the contents of the webtoon, the mood, etc.), and may be used as a criterion for specifying a sound source to be exposed in conjunction with the webtoon. Attribute information can be directly registered by the author who created the webtoon, and furthermore, it can be implemented to be automatically registered based on feedback from users who have seen the webtoon. In addition, attribute information may be registered in various forms such as keywords, numerical values, and levels. The registration unit 211 can register attribute information targeting the entire content of the webtoon, and it is also possible to link and register attribute information to a specific area, such as a specific scene, page, or object in the webtoon.

In step 320, the search unit 212 searches for a sound source for the corresponding webtoon using pre-registered attribute information when a specific webtoon is provided to the user. In other words, the search unit 212 may search for a sound source corresponding to attribute information of a specific webtoon in the sound source database system. Content available as a sound source may be classified in advance based on various criteria and maintained or supplied in a searchable form. Classification criteria include, for example, related keywords, atmosphere, genre or type, preferred group (age, gender, region, occupation, etc.), recommendation situation (eg time, season, weather, location, mood, etc.) A variety of information representing can be used.

In this case, the sound source database system may be a sound source service server built inside the content providing system 200 or may include at least one external sound source service server capable of interworking with the content providing system 200 .
