The content providing server 200 may include a server communication unit 210, a reading unit 220, a control unit 230, a content storage unit 240, and a mapping information storage unit 250. Here, the content providing server 200 may receive the content transmission request from the second communication device, determine the content to be transmitted to the second communication device based on the request, and transmit the determined content to the second communication device.

Here, the server communication unit 210 may support communication with the kiosk device 100 and the mobile device 300, the reading unit 220 may determine a kiosk device to which content information is to be requested, and the controller 230 Can control the overall operation of the content providing server 200 and the mutual operation between the server communication unit 210, the reading unit 220, and the content storage unit 240. Also, the content storage unit 240 may store content, and the mapping information storage unit 250 may store AP_Keyocs mapping information and / or content ID_content mapping information. Meanwhile, the information stored in the content storage unit 240 and the mapping information storage unit 250 may be updated.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the server communication unit 210 may receive a predetermined request from the mobile device 300 and transmit a response thereto. Here, the 'predetermined request' may be a request to transmit content (hereinafter referred to as a 'content transmission request'). According to an embodiment of the present invention, a 'content transmission request' transmitted from the mobile device 300 to the content providing server 200 does not include information on content desired to be transmitted, AP identification information may be included.

It is necessary for the content providing server 200 to specify what content is to be transmitted for the 'content transmission request' from the mobile device 300. This is because the mobile device 300 does not inform the content providing server 200 of information about what content should be transmitted.

Therefore, according to the embodiments of the present invention, the content providing server 200 can specify contents to be transmitted to the mobile device 300 by any one of the following methods.

The first method is a method of requesting predetermined information from the kiosk device 100 and specifying contents using a response thereto,

The second method is a method in which predetermined information is pushed from the kiosk device 100 and content is specified using such pushed information,

 The third method is a method of specifying content using a content playback schedule for the kiosk device.

A method of requesting predetermined information from the kiosk device 100 and specifying a content using a response thereto will now be described.

When the 'content transmission request' is received from the mobile device 300 through the server communication unit 210, the reading unit 220 transmits the content information to the kiosk device requesting the content information using the AP identification information included in the 'content transmission request' You can decide. For this purpose, the mapping information storage unit 250 may store AP_Keysuk mapping information. Here, the AP_KIOSK mapping information is information on which the AP identification information and the kiosk device are mapped on a one-to-one basis. The reading unit 220 can determine the kiosk device using the AP_ kiosk mapping information stored in the storage unit 250.

The control unit 230 transmits the content information request to the kiosk device 100 determined by the reading unit 220 through the server communication unit 200. When the content information is received from the kiosk device 100, And transmit the content to the mobile device 300.

If the 'content information' received from the kiosk device 100 is a content ID, the controller 230 can specify the content using the content ID_content information. To this end, the mapping information storage unit 250 may store the content ID_content mapping information, and the content ID_content mapping information is one-to-one mapped content ID and content. If the 'content information' received from the kiosk device 100 is the content itself, the controller 230 may transmit the received content to the mobile device 300.

The 'content information' transmitted from the kiosk device 100 may be information on the content selected by the user or information on the content currently being displayed on the kiosk.

In the second scheme, predetermined information is pushed from the kiosk device 100, and the content is specified using the pushed information. According to this embodiment, it is determined whether or not the reception time of the 'content transmission request' received from the mobile device 300 and the reception time of the information to be pushed from the kiosk device 100 are substantially in the same time band, The content to be transmitted to the mobile device 300 can be specified. In this case, the AP identification information does not necessarily have to be included in the 'content transmission request'.

For example, the content providing server 200 receives content information from the kiosk device 100 at about 12:10 on August 25, 2010, and receives a 'content transfer request' from the mobile device 300 as 2010 Suppose that you received it around 12:11 am on August 25, In this case, the control unit 230 can determine that both of them are substantially in the same time band. The content specified by the content information received from the kiosk device 100 at about 12: To the mobile device 300 that has received the 'content transmission request' received on August 25, 11 seconds.

If the difference between the time of receiving the content information and the time of receiving the content transmission request is not 1 second but 60 seconds in the embodiment, it can be determined that they do not belong to the same time band. On the other hand, the time difference may be appropriately set in consideration of the time taken for communication by the practitioner of the present invention.

That is, in the case of the second method, the content providing server 200 does not request information for specifying content to the kiosk device 100, and receives information to be pushed from the kiosk device 100, , And a time for receiving a 'content transmission request' from the mobile device 300, and the like. In the second method, the 'content information' pushed from the kiosk device 100 may be information on the content selected by the user or information on the content currently being displayed on the kiosk.

 The third method is a method of specifying content using a content playback schedule for the kiosk device.

According to this method, the content providing server 200 stores a content playback schedule for the kiosk device 100. [ The content playback schedule may be stored in the content storage unit 240 or the mapping information storage unit 250. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the content playback schedule is synchronized with the content playback schedule of the kiosk device 100. [ In order to synchronize the content playback schedule, the kiosk device 100 and the content providing server 200 communicate periodically or aperiodically, or a separate management server (not shown) for managing the content playback schedule is separately provided, The kiosk device 100 and the content providing server 200 receive the latest content playback schedule through a server (not shown).

The contents reproduction schedule includes contents information reproduced for each kiosk device and for each time slot. That is, knowing the time with the kiosk can identify the content.

For example, referring to the 'content transmission request', the 'content transmission request' reception time, and the content reproduction schedule received from the mobile device 300, the control unit 230 transmits the content to be transmitted to the mobile device 300 Can be specified. That is, since the content playback schedule includes the content to be played back by the kiosk device and the time zone, the content can be specified by knowing the information and time of the kiosk device. The control unit 230 can determine the contents to be transmitted to the mobile device 300 using the kiosk device determined using the AP identification information transmitted from the mobile device 300 and the time when the 'content transfer request' is received .

The content providing server 500 according to the embodiment of FIG. 2 includes a server communication unit 510, a reading unit 520, a control unit 530, a content storage unit 540, and a mapping information storage unit 550 Each of these components includes a server communication unit 210, a reading unit 220, a control unit 230, a content storage unit 240, and a mapping information storage unit 240 of the content providing server 200 according to the embodiment of FIG. (250).

Hereinafter, the embodiment of FIG. 2 will be described focusing on differences from the embodiment of FIG.

According to the embodiment of FIG. 2, the location information acquisition unit 670 of the mobile device 600 may acquire location information of the mobile device 600, such as a GPS receiver. The mobile agent unit 630 may transmit a 'content transmission request' to the content providing server 500 when the motion sensing unit 610 detects a shaking motion. Meanwhile, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the mobile agent unit 630 may include the location information of the mobile device 600 acquired by the location information acquisition unit 670 in the 'content transmission request'.

Meanwhile, the location information of the mobile device 600 may be included in the content transmission request or transmitted separately. For example, when the mobile agent unit 630 is executed, the location information of the mobile device 600 can be directly transmitted to the content providing server 500 irrespective of whether the mobile device 600 is moving or not.

The mobile agent unit 630 may include the location information of the mobile device 600 acquired by the location information acquisition unit 670 in the 'content transmission request' as soon as the motion detection unit 610 detects the shaking motion, To the providing server 500.

The operation of the content providing server 500 will be described.

The server communication unit 510 can support communication with the kiosk device 400 and the mobile device 600 and the reading unit 520 can determine the kiosk device to which the content information is requested. Also, the content storage unit 540 stores the content, and the mapping information storage unit 250 may store the location_kisket mapping information and the content ID_content information.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the server communication unit 510 may receive a content transmission request from the mobile device 600 and transmit a response thereto. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the 'content transmission request' transmitted from the mobile device 600 to the content providing server 500 does not include identification information on the content, Location information of the device 600 is included.

For example, according to embodiments of the present invention, the content providing server 500 can specify contents desired by the mobile device 600 by any one of the following methods.

The first method is a method of requesting predetermined information from the kiosk device 400 and specifying contents using a response thereto. The second method is a method in which predetermined information is pushed from the kiosk device 400, And the third method is a method of specifying content using a content playback schedule for the kiosk device without the help of the kiosk device 400. [

Meanwhile, since the above-described three methods have already been described in detail with reference to the embodiment of FIG. 1, only differences will be described.

In the first method, when the reading unit 520 of the content providing server 500 determines the kiosk, the kiosk may be determined using the location_kisket mapping information. That is, the content transmission request transmitted from the mobile device 600 includes location information. The reader 520 can determine the kiosk located closest to the location of the mobile device 600 as a target for requesting the content information . Since the location_kisket mapping information includes information on the location-specific kiosk, the reading unit 520 can use such mapping information. The control unit 530 transmits the content information request to the kiosk device determined by the reading unit 520 through the server communication unit 520. The subsequent operation is the same as that described in the embodiment of FIG.

 In the second method, the embodiment of FIG. 1 is the same as the embodiment of FIG. 2, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The third embodiment assumes that the content providing server 500 stores a content playback schedule for the kiosk device 400. The content playback schedule may be stored in the content storage unit 540, Unit 550, and location-kiosk mapping information may be stored in the mapping-information storage unit 550. [

The contents reproduction schedule includes contents information reproduced for each kiosk device and for each time slot. That is, knowing the time with the kiosk can identify the content. For example, the control unit 530 refers to the 'content transmission request', the 'content transmission request' reception time, the content reproduction schedule, and the location_cookus mapping information received from the mobile device 600, It is possible to specify the content to be transmitted to the terminal 600. That is, since the content playback schedule includes the content to be played back by the kiosk device and the time zone, the content can be specified by knowing the information and time of the kiosk device. The control unit 530 controls the kiosk device determined by the location information of the mobile device 600 included in the 'content transmission request' transmitted from the mobile device 500 and the location_cookus mapping information, The content to be transmitted to the mobile device 600 can be determined.

As described above, the embodiment of FIG. 2 has been described mainly on the difference from the embodiment of FIG. 1, and the other portions have the same or similar actions to those of the embodiment of FIG. 1, .

3 is a flowchart illustrating a content providing method based on a motion detection signal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, a content providing method based on a motion sensing signal according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG.

The kiosk device 100 continuously reproduces the content according to its content reproduction schedule (S401). At this time, the content to be played back and the content playback schedule of the content can be determined differently depending on the place where the kiosk device 100 is installed.

If the user wishes to receive at least some of the content being played back while watching the contents being played back on the kiosk device 100, the user operates the mobile device 300 to drive the mobile agent unit 330 (S403).

When a predetermined operation is performed in the mobile device 300 after the mobile agent unit 330 is driven (executed), the operation detecting unit 310 detects an operation and determines whether the operation is a content request operation. If it is determined that the content request operation has occurred (S405), the mobile agent unit 330 requests content from the content providing server 200 through the network interface unit 320 (S407).

The reading unit 220 of the content providing server 200 that has requested the content transmission from the mobile device 300 reads which of the kiosk devices 100 that reproduce the content requested by the mobile device 300 reads in S409. At this time, the reader 220 of the content providing server 200 can identify the kiosk device 100 that reproduces the content requested by the mobile device 300 using the current position information of the mobile device 300 requesting the content have.

Thereafter, the content providing server 200 requests content information currently being played back by the kiosk device 100 determined to play the content requested by the mobile device 300 (S411). Alternatively, the user may request information about the content selected through the kiosk device 100. [

The kiosk device 100 that has received the content information from the content providing server 200 transmits the content information about the content currently being played back by the kiosk content playing unit 120 to the content providing server 200, (S413). Alternatively, the user may transmit information about the content selected through the kiosk device 100, or may transmit information about content that is organically connected with the content selected by the user.

When the content information is received from the kiosk device 100, the control unit 230 extracts the content corresponding to the content information from the content storage unit 240 using the received content information (S415).

The control unit 230 of the content providing server 200 controls the server communication unit 210 to transmit the extracted content to the mobile device 300. [ Accordingly, the mobile device 300 receives the requested content from the content providing server 200 (S417).

After receiving the content from the content providing server 200, the mobile content reproducing unit 340 of the mobile device 300 reproduces the corresponding content (S419). At this time, if there are a plurality of contents received from the contents providing server 200, the mobile contents reproducing unit 340 may output an image of contents in a thumbnail form for the convenience of the user.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a content providing method based on a motion sensing signal according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, a method of providing content based on motion detection signals according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG.

The kiosk device 100 continuously plays the content according to its content playback schedule (S501). At this time, the content to be played back and the content playback schedule of the content can be determined differently depending on the place where the kiosk device 100 is installed.

The user operates the mobile device 300 to operate the mobile agent unit 330 in step S503 and transmits the content request operation in the state where the mobile agent unit 330 is driven in the mobile device 300, The AP signal collecting unit 360 collects the AP signal from the kiosk devices within the communicable range (S509).

The AP signal collection unit 360 stores AP signals transmitted from the kiosk device 100 (S511). Here, if there are a plurality of kiosk devices 100 within the communicable range, a plurality of AP signals may be received, and a plurality of AP signals may be stored in the storage unit 350. Alternatively, the AP signal collector 360 may store only the identification information of the AP for the signal having the highest signal strength among the collected AP signals.

The mobile device 300 transmits the AP identification code and its own user information received from the kiosk device 100 within the communication coverage to the content providing server 200 to request the content (S513).

When a content request is inputted through the server communication unit 210, the content providing server 200 compares the AP identification code received from the mobile device 300 with the AP identification code stored in the mapping information storage unit 250, The kiosk device 100 for reproducing the content is read (S515).

The content providing server 200 requests content information being reproduced by the kiosk device 100 read through the server communication unit 210 at step S517 and the kiosk device 100 receiving the content information request transmits the content information request to the kiosk content reproducing unit 200. [ The content providing server 200 transmits the content information about the content currently being played back to the content providing server 200 (S519). If the content reproduction schedule for each kiosk device 100 is stored in the mapping information storage unit 250 of the content providing server 200, steps S517 and S519 may be omitted.

The content providing server 200 extracts the content from the content storage unit 240 in step S521 and transmits the extracted content through the server communication unit 210 to the mobile device 300 in step S523.

The mobile device 300 receiving the content from the content providing server 200 may store the content in the storage unit 350 and may be played by the mobile content playback unit 340 in operation S525.

The AP signal collecting unit 360 collects the AP signal when the mobile device 300 is shaken (S505), but the AP signal collecting unit 360 may collect the AP signal regardless of the shaking motion of the mobile device 300, It is also possible that the collecting unit 360 collects AP signals from time to time. In this case, when the mobile device 300 detects the shaking motion of the mobile device 300, the mobile agent 300 selects the AP signal having the strongest intensity among the AP signals collected by the AP signal collector 360 at that moment, Information may be included in the content transmission request and transmitted to the server 200.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a content providing method based on a motion detection signal according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the present embodiment is described assuming that the first communication device is not mounted at a fixed position but is moved, and will be described below in order.

When the agent is activated in the first communication device (S601), the content is reproduced and displayed (S605). When the agent (i.e., the mobile agent unit) is driven (S603) in the second communication device, the content transmission request is prepared to be a content providing server (for example, ).

A shaking operation or a collision operation of the second communication device occurs (S607), and the user can select the content displayed on the first communication device immediately after or immediately before the operation.

The first communication device may transmit the selected content (or the identification information for identifying the selected content) and / or the content having an organic relation with the selected content (or the identification information for identifying the content having an organic relationship with the selected content ) To the content providing server (S609). Here, the information to be transmitted may be implemented by a pulling method provided by the first communication device in a pushing manner or in a case where a request is made by the content providing server.

If a predetermined motion is detected, the second communication device transmits a content transmission request to the content providing server (S611). Here, the content transmission request may include AP identification information or location information. When the AP identification information has already been transmitted to the content providing server, the AP identification information is not necessarily included in the content transmission request, but it may be included in duplicate. Meanwhile, the content transmission request may include an operation occurrence time, but is not essential. This is because the content providing server may estimate the operation occurrence time from the time when the content transmission request is received.

In this embodiment, the content providing server receives the AP identification information or the location information from the second communication device, determines which first communication device to request the content using the received information (S613) 1 < / RTI > communication device. Thereafter, the content information is received from the first communication device, the content is extracted using the information (S615), and the content can be transmitted to the second communication device (S617). Alternatively, when the content providing server receives the content from the first communication device, the content providing server can transmit the received content to the second communication device. If the content identification information is received from the first communication device, the content may be extracted using the received content identification information, and the extracted content may be transmitted to the second communication device.

Thereafter, the second communication device can reproduce the content transmitted from the content providing server (S619). Alternatively, the second communication device may analyze the type of the content and perform an operation according to the type of the content. As described above, an operation such as making a call or accessing a web site can be performed.

1 and 2 reproduce content according to its own playback schedule without separately playing back the content. However, the embodiment of FIG. 5 assumes that the content is played back by receiving a content playback command from the user . And the remaining parts except for that part can perform the same operation as the embodiment in Fig. 1 and Fig.
