The interface 101 may receive a viewing request from a wireless terminal (eg, a dedicated remote controller, a mobile terminal) or an input keyboard (not shown) included therein. The interface 101 may request input of login information (eg, a user ID) in association with a viewing request, and retrieve a user profile corresponding to the input login information from the database 105. Here, the interface 101 may request input of login information by providing an information input field.

In addition, when receiving a viewing request from the mobile terminal, the interface 101 extracts a user ID and identification information of the mobile terminal from the viewing request, and retrieves a user profile corresponding to the extracted user ID from the database 105. Can be.

The processor 103 may configure a customized broadcast screen from program information extracted from the database 105 based on the searched user profile, and provide the configured customized broadcast screen through a display unit (not shown). Here, the user profile may include, for example, user information (user ID, password, user name, identification information of the mobile terminal), preferred channel number, preferred content genre, designated channel number, recently watched broadcast (real time or VOD), social Community, and the program information may include, for example, an electronic program guide (EPG) as broadcast program additional information.

In this case, the processor 103 may perform an authentication procedure for the input login information and, when authenticated, may provide the customized broadcast screen. That is, when the user inputs a user ID and a password as the login information by the interface 101, the processor 103 may match the preset password in the user profile corresponding to the user ID with the input user password. It can provide a broadcast screen.

Meanwhile, when the interface 103 receives a viewing request from the mobile terminal, the processor 103 may perform an authentication procedure with respect to the mobile terminal and, if authenticated, may provide the customized broadcast screen. In this case, when the user ID and the identification information of the mobile terminal are extracted by the interface 101, the processor 103 may include the identification information of the terminal set in the user profile corresponding to the user ID and the identification information of the extracted mobile terminal.
