Referring to FIG. 2, the content providing server 200 may include a database 210, a communication unit 220, an encoding unit 230, a memory 240, a composer 250, and a controller 260.

The database 210 may store various contents for each field and brief information of each content. The brief information of the contents may include a representative image representing the contents and a part of the contents, or may include summary information of the contents. In addition, different customized contents may be mapped and stored for each of a plurality of user environment information in the database 210. That is, the database 210 may store identification information of the customized contents selected in consideration of the user environment information during the design process. The identification information is information for identifying contents, for example, the title. Table 2 shows an example of customized contents stored in the database 210.

User experience information Identification of Personalized Content UE1 c1, c2, c3 UE2 c1, c2, c5, c6 UE3 c2, c4, c5 UE4 c3, c5, c11 ... ...

The communication unit 220 may communicate with the first to third wireless terminals 11, 12, and 13 and the user environment information providing server 100 through the communication network 10, and may transmit and receive various information or data. For example, the communication unit 220 may receive user environment information collected from the user environment information providing server 100 and identification information of the first to third wireless terminals 11, 12, and 13. In addition, the communication unit 220 uses the identification information of the first to third wireless terminals 11, 12, and 13 received from the user environment information providing server 100 to display the first to third wireless terminals 11,. 12, 13) may transmit a customized content list or pre-encoded customized content.

The encoding unit 230 checks the customized contents corresponding to the user environment information received from the user environment information providing server 100 from the database 210 and encodes the identified customized contents to the first to third wireless terminals ( 11, 12, and 13 together with the identification information may be stored in the memory 240.

For example, when the user environment information of the first wireless terminal 11 is 'UE2', the encoding unit 230 maps the stored customized contents (ie, identification of the customized contents) to 'UE2' from [Table 2]. Information), and the identified customized contents can be read from the database 210 and encoded in a pre-playable form. The encoding unit 230 may store the encoded customized contents together with the identification information of the first wireless terminal 11 in the memory 240 as shown in [Table 3].

Identification information of wireless terminal Encoded content corresponding to user environment information Time (T1) Time (T2) Time (T3) ... MP1 Customized content for UE1 Customized content for UE2 Customized content for UE5 ... MP2 Customized content for UE2 Customized content for UE1 Customized content for UE4 ... MP3 Customized content for UE3 Customized content for UE2 Customized content for UE1 ...

Referring to [Table 3], 'MP1 to MP3' is identification information of the first to third wireless terminals 11, 12 and 13, and time (T1 to TE) is user environment information providing server ( As a time received from 100, it may be different for each of the first to third wireless terminals 11, 12, and 13, except that customized contents encoded when user environment information is received may be accumulated and stored. it means. Only the most recently encoded customized contents may be stored together with the identification information in the memory 240. In addition, the memory 240 or the database 210 may store information necessary to log in users.

Meanwhile, the encoder 230 may adaptively encode customized contents in consideration of the surrounding environment of the first to third wireless terminals 11, 12, and 13. For example, the encoding unit 230 may encode differently according to the screen size of the first wireless terminal 11. In addition, when the wireless communication method used by the first wireless terminal 11 is 3G, the encoding unit 230 encodes by lowering the encoding quality (that is, the playback quality) in accordance with the data transmission speed of 3G. In this case, the encoding quality can be increased. In addition, the encoding unit 230 may encode the video screen differently according to the OS used by the first wireless terminal 11. In addition, when the first wireless terminal 11 is currently located in a public place or an outdoor place such as a subway, the encoding unit 230 encodes the customized content to have a large sound, and when located indoors to have a relatively small sound. Can be encoded. In addition, the encoder 230 may determine the encoding quality in consideration of the weather of the location of the first wireless terminal 11. For example, if rain falls on an area where the first wireless terminal 11 is located, the encoder 230 may encode the customized content to have a bright color tone.

Alternatively, the encoder 230 may apply another encoding to the same piece of customized content. For example, the encoding unit 230 may provide a plurality of encoded contents by encoding a plurality of times while changing the color tone of one customized content.

The creation unit 250 may check the customized contents corresponding to the user environment information received from the user environment information providing server 100 from the database 210 and may create a customized content list using the brief information of the identified customized contents. have. Accordingly, the creator 250 may create a customized content list in consideration of the surrounding environment of the first to third wireless terminals 11, 12, and 13 and the tendency of the users, and the customized content list may be the first to third. The wireless terminals 11, 12, and 13 may be made up of brief information of pre-selected customized contents.

For example, when the user environment information of the first wireless terminal 11 is 'UE2', the creation unit 250 checks the customized contents corresponding to 'UE2' in [Table 2], and confirms the customized contents. The brief information may be read from the database 210 to create a customized content list to be provided to the first wireless terminal 11. When the first wireless terminal 11 accesses the content providing server 200, the creation unit 250 may create a customized content list as a screen to be initially provided.

The creator 250 may adaptively adjust the screen layout of the customized content list in consideration of the screen sizes of the first to third wireless terminals 11, 12, and 13. For example, if the screen size of the first wireless terminal 11 is 3 inches, the creation unit 250 may adjust the screen layout of the customized content list and the number of contents included in the list to fit 3 inches. As a result, the arrangement and arrangement of the customized content list provided to the first to third wireless terminals 11, 12, and 13 may be different from each other. Alternatively, the screen layout of the customized content list may be adjusted by applications installed in the first to third wireless terminals 11, 12, and 13 in consideration of the screen size.

The controller 260 includes at least one processor to implement the above-described operation of the content providing server 200, and controls the operation of the content providing server 200 using various programs stored in a nonvolatile memory (not shown). can do. For example, the controller 260 may include at least one of the first to third wireless terminals 11, 12, and 13 (eg, the 'first wireless terminal 11') from the user environment information providing server 100. When receiving the user environment information of), the encoding unit 230 may be controlled to identify and pre-encode customized contents of the first wireless terminal 11 and store the encoded customized contents in the memory 240.

In addition, the controller 260 performs an authentication process when the first wireless terminal 11 attempts to log in by accessing the content providing server 200. If the authentication is successful, the controller 260 may control the composer 250 and the communicator 220 to create a customized content list to be transmitted to the first wireless terminal 11 and transmit it to the first wireless terminal 11. .
