Subsequently, the person who wants to receive the content consumption history distribution service performs a login procedure for inputting service identification information or the like through the network access terminal (S503), and the consumption history of the content by the wireless terminal 110 or the wired terminal 120. In order to receive the request, the user can request a setting window for setting usage data for collecting and distributing the consumption history. For example, a request for a setting page in the form of a web screen may be requested (S504), and the user may input identification information of content to which the user wants to receive a consumption history. Here, the identification information of the content may mean information previously known or promised by the content management server 300 and the content consumption history distribution device 200.

Then, the usage setting support unit 211 of the history distribution server 210 provides a setting window (for example, a setting page in the form of a web screen) for setting the usage setting data which is reference data for collecting and distributing the consumption history of the content. (S505). As such, the setting window that the use setting support unit 211 can provide is illustrated in FIG. 3. In FIG. 3, in the distribution source selection field, user identification information for which the user wants to receive consumption history is input, but a plurality of user identification information may be input. This means that one piece of service identification information corresponds to a plurality of pieces of user identification information, which means that a history of use of content by a plurality of users can be provided through a single service process. The distribution target selection field selects a target that can distribute the distribution data provided by including the consumption history of the content according to the present invention, and the target may be any one or more of a homepage, a bulletin board, an email, a messenger, Can be selected. In the lower URL / account input field, enter a homepage address, a bulletin board URL, an e-mail address, or a messenger account corresponding to the distribution target selected by the upper field. In the distribution item selection field, it is possible to select a detailed item of consumption history to be distributed. For example, in the case of a movie, a title, plot, director, rating, thumbnail, etc. may be selected (O) or unselected (X) in a subfield, and in the case of music, a song name, album photo, singer name, rating in the subfield. , Genre, etc. can be selected (O) or not selected (X). In the distribution cycle selection field, the user selects a cycle for distribution data to be distributed, for example, one time every day, once every hour, or time designation. In the collection period selection field, the history distribution server 210 selects a wireless terminal ( The period for collecting the consumption history of the content for the 110 or the wired terminal 120 may be selected by, for example, a time designation method.

Next, the person who wants to be provided with the content consumption history distribution service requests the storage of the setting value by the step S505 through the network access terminal (S506), and the usage setting support unit 211 of the history distribution server 210 returns to step S505. The usage setting data is stored in the usage setting storage unit 223 of the database 220 (S507).

Next, the consumption history collecting procedure for the content consumption history distribution service according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

As such, when the usage setting procedure including the collection target setting of the consumption history information and the distribution target setting of the distribution data is completed by the support of the usage setting support unit 211 of the history distribution server 210, the wireless terminal 110 or the wired line may be used. The content consumption monitoring units 111 and 121 installed in the terminal 120 request the usage setting data including details of the content to be collected, the collection period, and the like to the history distribution server 210, and in response thereto, the history distribution server. The distribution processing unit 215 of 210 reads the usage setting data stored in the usage setting storage unit 223 and returns it to the content consumption monitoring units 111 and 121 (S601).

When the user of the wireless terminal 110 or the wired terminal 120 consumes the content, such as playing the content, that is, the corresponding application consumes the content (S602) and generates the log (S603), the content consumption. The monitoring units 111 and 121 detect the consumption of the corresponding content (S604), collect the log generated in step S603 (S605), and use the collected log, that is, the usage history information of the content together with the service identification information, to the history distribution server. The consumption history collecting unit 213 of step 210 is transferred (S606). Here, log collection by the content consumption monitoring units 111 and 121 is performed for each collection period set in step S504. Here, the logs collected by the content consumption monitoring unit 111 and 121 may include content playback start time, content playback end time, user identification information, use terminal type, content identification information, and the like, as illustrated in FIG. 5. .

Next, a procedure of generating distribution data for a content consumption history distribution service according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 6.

Meanwhile, the consumption history collecting unit 213 of the history distribution server 210 generates consumption history data based on consumption history information received from the content consumption monitoring units 111 and 121 and stores the consumption history data in the consumption history storage unit 225. Then, the distribution processing unit 215 requests the inquiry of the distribution source (S701). At this time, the service identification information received in step S606 is delivered as a parameter. Then, the distribution processing unit 215 inquires (S702) the setting values stored in the usage setting storage unit 223, that is, the usage setting data, and provides the usage history collecting unit 213 with the usage setting data corresponding to the service identification information. (S703). FIG. 7 illustrates usage setting data that the distribution processing unit 215 may provide to the consumption history collecting unit 213. The distribution item field refers to a range of detailed items of content to be distributed by a person who wants to receive a content consumption history distribution service. The distribution item field corresponds to a distribution item selection field of FIG. 3, and a distribution source identification field is a distribution source selection field of FIG. 3. If a plurality of user identification information exists, it is provided in list form.

The consumption history collecting unit 213 extracts content identification information from the usage setting data, and transmits the extracted content identification information to the content management server 300 to request meta information data of the corresponding content (S704).

When the content management server 300 returns the meta information data of the corresponding content (S705), the consumption history collecting unit 213 generates distribution data including the consumption history data and the meta information data collected in step S606 ( S706), the generated distribution data is stored in the distribution storage unit 227, and delivered to the distribution processing unit 215 (S707).

FIG. 8 is an example of distribution data generated by the consumption history collecting unit 213 and delivered to the distribution processing unit 215. For example, when the homepage or the bulletin board is selected in the distribution target selection field of step S505 and FIG. It is written as a HyperText Markup Language (HyperText Markup Language) document. If an e-mail is selected, it is written as a MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) document. If a messenger is selected, it is written as an Extensible Markup Language (XML) document. Distribution data may be generated to include a plurality of user identification information per service identification information, and distribution data may be generated to include a plurality of content identification information per user identification information. Here, the detail information request URL is a link that provides detailed information of the meta information of the content.

Finally, the distribution procedure of the distribution data by the content consumption history distribution service according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 9.

When the distribution data is delivered from the consumption history collecting unit 213, the distribution processing unit 215 queries the distribution target in the usage setting storage unit 223 using the service identification information as a key. That is, the distribution target set in step S506 and the distribution target selection field of FIG. 3 is inquired (S801).

Then, the distribution processing unit 215 delivers distribution data to the inquired distribution target (S802). That is, if the history distribution server 210 delivers the information (homepage address, bulletin board URL, e-mail address, messenger account, etc.) entered in the URL / account input field of FIG. 3 together with the distribution data to the communication service server 400. The communication service server 400 displays the distribution data through the corresponding distribution target.

For example, when an additional detailed meta-information is requested by accessing the "detail information request URL" when distributing distribution data as shown in FIG. 8, the corresponding content identification information is transmitted to the distribution processing unit 215 ( In step S803, the distribution processing unit 215 requests the meta information data of the corresponding content from the content management server 300 and returns it in step S804. Further, the distribution processing unit 215 additionally transmits meta information data of the detailed content to the communication service server 400 (S805), and the communication service server 400 identifies a distribution target corresponding to the meta information data of the detailed content.
