  • the local server 100 matches the divided each UI element group to the each client device of the user respectively, and generates UI distribution information.
  • the UI distribution control module 105 transmits the generated UI distribution information to the cloud server 300.
  • the local server 100 In operation 1360, the local server 100 generates virtual display information by using the generated UI distribution information.
  • the local server 100 transmits the UI element group to client A (21). Instead of transmitting the UI element group to client A (21), the local server 100 may transmit a video stream for the at least one UI element group matching to client A (21).
  • client A (21) generates virtual display information by using the UI element group received from the local server 100.
  • the local server 100 receives UI control information from client A (21).
  • the local server 100 converts the UI control information to a control signal of the UI app.
  • the local server 100 may apply the control signal of the UI app and re-transmit the UI element group or the video stream.
  • the local server 100 may delegate the authority to use the UI app and the NFT content to client A (21).
  • the smart contract between the UI app server 600 and the NFT content server 500 is updated including client A (21), instead of the local server 100, and the UI distribution control module 105 is executable in client A (21).
  • the cloud server 300 may manage information, such as the user's authority to access to the NFT content, the authority to provide the UI by using the UI app, the authority to correct the UI distribution information, and the delegation of the authority to use.
  • the NFT content user may be delegated all of the above authorities, use the NFT content for a predetermined period of time, and delegate the authority to another user to distribute the NFT content.
  • the NFT content user may stream and use the NFT content in his/her display device by changing the UI with a style that he/she wants for a predetermined period of time. Then, when the predetermined period of time elapses based on the contents of the smart contract, the authorities to use of all of the users, except for the content user may be reset.
  • the exemplary embodiments of the present invention may be implemented in the form of a program command that can be executed through various computer means and recorded in a computer readable medium.
  • the computer readable medium may include a program command, a data file, a data structure, and the like alone or in combination.
  • the program command recorded in the medium may be specially designed and configured for the present invention, or may also be known and usable to those skilled in computer software.
  • Examples of the computer readable recording medium include a magnetic medium, such as a hard disk, a floppy disk, or a magnetic tape, an optical recording medium, such as a CD-ROM or a DVD, a magneto-optical medium, such as a floptical disk, and a hardware device which is specifically configured to store and execute the program command such as a ROM, a RAM, and a flash memory.
  • An example of the program command includes a high-level language code executable by a computer by using an interpreter, and the like, as well as a machine language code created by a compiler.
  • the hardware device may be configured to be operated with one or more software modules in order to perform the operation of the present invention, and an opposite situation thereof is available.
