METHOD FOR DISTINGUISHING TYPE OF COMMUNICATION NETWORK AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING CONTENT USING SAME

摘要

A method of determining the type of communication network. The method comprises measuring latency between the content server and a device that made a content transmission request, determining whether the measured latency is longer than a predetermined reference, and determining the content transmission request to be for over the mobile communication network if the measured latency is longer than the predetermined reference. Content can be provided through the mobile communication network and the Internet communication network by operating a single content server while distinguishing between the mobile communication network and the Internet communication network, without requesting content by installing an additional program by the client or operating an additional content server for the mobile communication network. Content can be provided more quickly by distinguishing between the mobile communication network and the Internet communication network. Content in different formats can be provided according to the type of the communication network.
