Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a content providing method using an online marketplace,

The present invention relates to a content providing method and system, and more particularly, to a content providing method and system using an online marketplace that provides content by linking online marketplace used by each user when recommending content to a specific opponent through a social network service A content providing method, and a system and an apparatus therefor.

With the development of the mobile communication network and the development of the terminal specification, the mobile communication terminal has become a necessity of modern people and has evolved into a total entertainment device beyond the conventional category of simple communication apparatus or information providing apparatus.

Particularly, as the Internet and digital media develop, content providers distribute various digital contents through the Internet in various ways. For example, moving pictures such as movies and music are played on the Internet through streaming technology, and playback music is transmitted as MP3 files over the Internet. In addition, text-like contents that can only be viewed as paper books are downloaded via the Internet in the form of an e-book, and almost all contents of existing TV and radio can be viewed again via the Internet.

In this way, the content providing service is provided with a large amount of content to be provided to the users, so that the user can search for and purchase the desired content through the content searching function. That is, since the content provider provides the user-driven content search function, the user can use the prior knowledge of the content to purchase the content, or perform a real-time test on the content, such as preview or preview, Can be used.

However, there is a lack of a way for users to check whether new contents fit their taste, and contents about genres or themes that they have not yet experienced are difficult to find. In other words, the user has to select and enjoy content suitable for him / her from a large amount of content, so he can only enjoy the limited amount of content by searching for the content he knows.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide the opportunity to select various contents to the user by recommending the contents through acquaintances or friends who know the propensity or characteristics of the user, and to execute the recommended contents before purchase. Also, since the interworking technique between the online marketplaces used by each user is not applied, it is inconvenient to easily use the contents recommended by other users.

Referring to FIG. 7, in step S71, the service apparatus 20 for providing content using an online marketplace provides recommendation information for recommending at least one content through the social network service from the first terminal 10a, , Information on the first content providing device 30 that manages the content, and partner information that is recommended for the content. At this time, the service device 20 confirms and stores information on the first content providing device 30 related to the terminal recommending the content in step S73. Then, in step S75, the service device 20 confirms the counterpart information to which the content is recommended, and transmits the recommendation information to the second terminal 10b corresponding to the confirmed counterpart information.

The service device 20 checks whether content purchase is requested in step S77. When the purchase of the content is requested from the second terminal 10b, the service device 20 confirms information about the second content providing device 40 providing the content to the second terminal 10b in step S79. In step S81, the service device 20 determines whether there is a recommended content in the second content providing device 40. If the content exists, the service device 20 transmits the recommended content to the second content providing device 40 through the second content providing device 40 To the terminal 10b. On the other hand, if the recommended content does not exist in the second content providing device 40, the service device 20 may request the second content providing device 40 to provide the recommended content to the second terminal 10b through the first content providing device 30 have.

8 to 9 are diagrams for explaining a content providing method using an online marketplace according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 8 to 9, the user can generate recommendation information on the content to be recommended to the other party through the social network service, and transmit the recommendation information to the service device. The other party can purchase and execute the content by referring to the recommendation information about the specific content provided by the user. At this time, because the online marketplace used by the user and the marketplace used by the other user may be different from each other, the service device can interlink the different online marketplace in the middle so that the content purchase can proceed smoothly.
