The first channel information for the real time channel may include channel information for at least one of an airwave channel, a comprehensive channel, and a home shopping channel, and type information for each corresponding channel, The type information for the player may be one of the first type information to drive the player and the second type information to drive the application.
The second channel information for the content channel includes information about one or more channels organized in a predetermined order in a specific channel and type information for each corresponding channel in a plurality of VOD contents belonging to the same or similar category can do.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for causing a computer to execute a method of executing a content in a channel-based content providing system.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an application stored in a medium for executing a content execution method in the channel-based content providing system in combination with hardware.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a computer program stored in a medium for causing a computer to execute a method of executing a content in the channel-based content providing system.
As described above, according to various aspects of the present invention, since a plurality of VOD contents belonging to the same or similar categories are arranged and arranged in a predetermined specific channel in order, the VOD contents desired by a user can be searched through a complicated menu category It is possible to provide a content channel service which can increase the accessibility of contents for each channel by making it possible to easily browse through a predetermined channel even if the service provider does not have an IPTV service and to provide an IPTV service including both the existing real- In particular, since the same or similar categories of content that are required to be driven by one of the player and the application are organized for each channel, one of the player and the application is driven according to the type of the specific channel selected from the user, There is an effect that it can be displayed through the corresponding channel of the display device of the horse.
