SERVER, SYSTEM, AND METHOD THAT PROVIDING ADDITIONAL CONTENTS

摘要

Disclosed is a server, a system, and a method for providing additional content simultaneously with main content. The system includes: a server for multiplexing a second content with a first content which is streaming-transmitted, and streaming-transmitting, to a terminal, a mixed content produced by multiplexing the second content with the first content; and the terminal for receiving the mixed content, demultiplexing the mixed content to separate the second content from the first content, streaming-reproducing the first content, and storing the separated second content therein. Accordingly, the system does not need a configuration of another system for providing additional content, which presents separate conditions for providing the additional content and determines if the separate conditions are satisfied. Namely, if a condition for receiving only a particular period of the particular content is satisfied, a user of the terminal can receive and use the additional content along with the particular content.

a server for searching a second content in response to a request signal for a first content, multiplexing the second content with the first content which is streaming-transmitted, and streaming-transmitting, to a terminal, a mixed content produced by multiplexing the second content with the first content; and the terminal for sending the request signal to the server, receiving the mixed content from the server, demultiplexing the mixed content to separate the second content from the first content, streaming-reproducing the first content, and storing the separated second content therein, wherein the server multiplexes the second content with the first content during a part of a reproduction period of the first content, and the multiplexing corresponds to time-division multiplexing.
