That is, the content providing server 110 is mapped to the user terminal 100, and can transmit the content corresponding to the content request to the authenticated media player 120 through a series of authentication procedures.

In step S490, the media playback terminal 120 can output the received content. For example, the media playback terminal 120 may output the image or video content received from the content providing server 110 through a display device (not shown) connected to the media playback terminal 120.

In the above description, steps S400 to S490 may be further divided into further steps or combined in fewer steps, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Also, some of the steps may be omitted as necessary, and the order between the steps may be changed.

5 is a flowchart of a method of processing authentication for a media playback apparatus in a content providing server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The method of processing authentication for the media playback apparatus 120 in the content providing server 110 according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is the same as that of FIG. 1 except that the authentication system 1 according to the embodiment shown in FIG. ≪ / RTI > Therefore, the content already described with respect to the authentication system 1 according to the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 4 even if omitted from the following description is the same as the contents already described in the content providing server 110 according to the embodiment shown in Fig. The present invention is also applied to a method of processing authentication for the playback apparatus 120. Specifically, authentication of the media playback apparatus 120 can be processed through the authentication unit 240 of the content providing server 110. [

In step S510, the content providing server 110 may determine whether the URL accessed by the media playback apparatus 120 to transmit the content request matches the unique access URL. For example, if the accessed URL and the unique access URL coincide with each other to transmit the content request, the content providing server 110 determines the URL accessed by the media playback apparatus 120 as a valid URL, and in step S520, The content providing server 110 may proceed to the next authentication process with respect to the playback apparatus 120 and if the accessed URL and the unique access URL do not match in order to transmit the content request, The URL is judged to be an incorrect URL, and authentication of the media playback apparatus 120 is failed in step S550.

In step S520, the content providing server 110 can determine whether the IP transmitted the content request matches the unique IP of the media player 120. [ For example, when the IP transmitted from the content request and the unique IP of the media playback apparatus 120 coincide with each other, the content providing server 110 transmits the content sharing request to the media playback apparatus 120 It is determined that the user terminal 100 has been mapped and the next authentication process for the media player 120 is performed in step S530.

If the IP that transmitted the content request does not match the unique IP of the media playback apparatus 120, the content providing server 110 transmits the content playback request to the user terminal 100 that transmitted the content sharing request, It is determined that the media playback apparatus 120 is not mapped and the authentication of the media playback apparatus 120 is failed in step S550.

That is, even if a unique URL is stolen from the outside, the media playback apparatus 120 that is not in a mapping relationship with the user terminal 100 can not receive the content from the content providing server 110.

In step S530, the content providing server 110 determines whether the reception time at the time of receiving the content request from the media playback apparatus 120 is within a predetermined time range from the transmission time at the time of transmitting the unique connection URL to the media playback apparatus 120 It can be judged. For example, assuming that the preset time range is set to 1 second, the reception time at the time of receiving the content request from the media playback apparatus 120 is changed from the transmission time at the time of transmitting the unique connection URL to the media playback apparatus 120 If it is within one second, the content providing server 110 succeeds in authentication of the media playback apparatus 120 in step S540.

, When the reception time at the time of receiving the content request from the media playback apparatus 120 exceeds one second from the transmission time at the time of transmitting the unique connection URL to the media playback apparatus 120, The authentication of the corresponding media player 120 fails in step S550.

In the above description, steps S500 through S550 may be further divided into further steps or combined into fewer steps, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Also, some of the steps may be omitted as necessary, and the order between the steps may be changed.
