Meanwhile, when selecting a specific advertisement item in the advertisement screen 820, an advertisement web page may be displayed.

On the other hand, at the bottom of the display 680 of the terminal 600, a soft key area 825 may be arranged to go to the previous item, the home screen, and execute a specific menu.

8B illustrates that login is performed on the server access screen 810 so that the personal server list screen 815 is displayed on the terminal 600.

When the login window is displayed using the login object 811, the terminal 600 may input login information, and transmit the input login information to the server 500.

Accordingly, the server 500 transmits personal server list information to the terminal 600, and the terminal 600 displays the personal server list screen 815 using the received personal server list information as shown in the drawing. Can be.

That is, after logging in to the server 500, the terminal 600 may display a personal server list 815.

In the figure, the personal server list is illustrated as " Use 1 " 813 and " User 2 " At this time, the personal server list is a list of servers that can share data to the logged-in user. The personal server may be a user's own personal server.

For example, when information on another user's personal server is set to be shared with the logged-in user, another user's personal server list may also be displayed in the personal server list screen 815.

Meanwhile, the terminal 600 may receive advertisement information from the server 500 in addition to the personal server list information, and thus may simultaneously display the server connection screen 815 and the advertisement screen 821. . Meanwhile, when selecting a specific advertisement item in the advertisement screen 821, an advertisement web page may be displayed.

On the other hand, the advertisement screen 820 of FIG. 8A, which is an advertisement screen before login to the server 500, and the advertisement screen 821 of the terminal 600 of FIG. 8B, which is the advertisement screen after login to the server 500, are mutually different. Others are preferred. In particular, after logging in, the server 500 may provide customized, advertisement information to the corresponding user. As a result, the user's ease of use may be increased.

8C illustrates that a specific personal server list is selected on the server access screen 810 so that the personal server screen 830 is displayed on the terminal 600.

In FIG. 8B, when "Use 1" 813 is selected, the terminal 600 may request information about a personal server corresponding to "Use 1" from the server 500. The server 500 may transmit the network information of the personal server corresponding to “Use 1” to the terminal 600 in response to the personal server request. In addition, device information and account information may be further transmitted.

The terminal 800 connects to the personal server corresponding to "Use 1", that is, the image providing apparatus 500, using the network information of the personal server corresponding to "Use 1", and corresponds to "Use 1". From the personal server, that is, the image providing apparatus 500, a shared content related list may be received.

In addition, the terminal 600 may display a personal server screen 830 including the shared content related list 833 on the display 680. Thereby, the terminal 600 can easily check the list of contents that can be provided by the personal server.
