DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a media sharing service providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The media sharing service providing system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a first terminal 100, a second terminal 200, and a media server 300 connected to the network 10.

The network 10 may include a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a value added network (VAN), a personal local area network (PAN), or a mobile communication network (PAN). It can be implemented as all kinds of wired and wireless networks such as mobile radio communication network) or satellite communication network.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first terminal 100, the second terminal 200, and the media server 300 may be connected to each terminal and server through a network connection.

Here, the network connection may include a Bluetooth connection, a Wi-Fi connection, an Internet Protocol (IP) connection, and the like, and may be one of a Bluetooth connection, a Wi-Fi connection, and an IP connection according to characteristics of data transmitted and received between the devices 100, 200, and 300. Can be selected.

Hereinafter, the first terminal 100, the second terminal 200, and the media server 300 will be collectively referred to as a device. In addition, the terminal information of the first terminal 100 or the second terminal 200 and the server information of the media server 300 will be collectively referred to as device information.

Bluetooth uses the IEEE 802.15.1 standard and is the industry standard for Personal Area Networks (PANs). Because of bandwidth limitations, Bluetooth is a bit too much for home networking, for example for file transfers. Thus, Bluetooth is not an optimized technology for home networking, where the transmission and reception of media content is the main purpose. However, with the emergence of a variety of media devices equipped with Bluetooth functions, it is efficient to transmit and receive low-capacity data between devices located in a short distance, and especially device information and a network of devices belonging to different networks, even though they are located at home. It is efficient to grasp information.

In other words, even if the devices connected to the Internet do not belong to the same network, Bluetooth has an advantage of enabling a network connection between devices located at a short distance in a home.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, Bluetooth may be used to configure a network connection between devices. For example, it may be effective that the first terminal 100 uses a Bluetooth connection to check the existence of the second terminal 200 or the media server 300 and to receive device information.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an IP connection may be used to transmit and receive content between media devices. The IP connection may be utilized to transmit and receive large amounts of data between media devices based on device information shared between the media devices.

The first terminal 100 and the second terminal 200 may be implemented as a computer, a portable terminal, or a television that can connect to a remote server through the network 10 or connect to other terminals and servers. Here, the computer includes, for example, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, and the like, each of which is equipped with a web browser (WEB Browser), and the portable terminal may be a wireless communication device , Personal Communication System (PCS), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM), Personal Digital Cellular (PDC), Personal Handyphone System (PHS), Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT) Handheld based wireless communication devices such as W-CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) -2000, W-CDMA (W-CDMA), Wibro (Wireless Broadband Internet) terminals, can do.
