APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING CONTENTS SHARING SERVICE ON NETWORK

摘要

A device and a method for sharing contents of a terminal placed in the same service space are provided to enable a contents receiver to search and use the contents of a contents provider through a receiver terminal by permitting the contents receiver placed in the same service space to share various contents of the contents provider. A content classifier(112) classifies shared joint contents, which is shared among contents receivers, stored in a memory based on a predetermined rule. A shared contents list generator(113) generates a shared contents list storing information related to the classified shared contents. A contents receiver searcher(114) searches whether the contents receiver wanting to share the classified contents is searched among the contents receivers entering the network. A contents processor(115) checks whether the shared contents selected by the contents receiver is available in the contents receiver, and processes the shared contents depending on a checking result. A shared contents provider(116) presents the shared contents list to the contents receiver according to a search result.
