Description

[0001] METHOD FOR SHARING AND ACQUIRING CONTENT [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for sharing content, and more particularly, to a method and an apparatus for sharing content among mobile terminals.

With the spread of smart phones and the improvement of performance, users can easily produce and share contents using smart phones, and various services using smart phones are being developed.

O2O (Online to Offline) service is a typical service using smart phone. It is a concept that online service is offline, after order / reservation / purchase using smart phone. Such an O2O service requires a central server for storing data. However, there is a problem that it is expensive and difficult to manage the individual to operate the server directly.

In addition, existing web pages were created and managed by an external server, and smartphone users could perform only the task of requesting an external server to check a web page. That is, it is impossible to share the contents in one direction through the external server and to generate the secondary information based on the information of the web page and to share it. As a result, when content is shared through an external server, a content provider (for example, a web page publisher in the case of a web page) can not confirm a record of how the content is shared, There is a problem that there is a fear of being damaged together.

In order to overcome these problems, many researches have been conducted to utilize smartphone as a server. For example, after a smart phone is routed, a Linux-based server program is installed, a mobile content download system using Java XML is implemented, or a mobile server is implemented using a VM (Virtual Machine). However, since such a mobile server can not access the IP directly, it can not be accessed by using a router, and various programs must be installed in the smartphone. Therefore, it has been difficult for a general smartphone user to construct a server.

It is an object of the present invention to solve the above problems and provide a content sharing method for allowing a smartphone of a content provider to perform a role of a server without changing the structure of a smart phone or installing a large number of programs.

Another object of the present invention to solve the above problems is to provide a content sharing method for a user of a smart phone to easily acquire content created by another user.
