Abstract

A channel-based method and system for relaying contents are disclosed. The content relaying method generates a channel on the basis of a user terminal or a specific group adjacent to a display device and can relay, to the display device, a screen for executing the contents displayed on the user terminal when the user terminal accesses the generated channel.

First claim

1 - 12 . (canceled)

13 . A content relay method performed at a channel server, the method comprising:
providing a channel generated at a channel operator terminal in response to a channel search request from a user terminal or a display device; and requesting the display device to display a content execution screen of a user terminal connected to the channel.

14 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising:
updating execution results of content processed at the user terminal for each channel or each group.

15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the channel operator terminal selects a user terminal for relaying the content execution screen from among a plurality of user terminals based on channel connection priority of each user terminal, random priority, or arbitrary designation, if the plurality of user terminals is connected to the channel.

16 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the user terminal is a service subscriber provided from an application that associates an account with the content.

17 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the user terminal one-time logs in another user terminal that associated with the display device through the channel.

18 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the channel is connected with a user terminal present around the display device or connectible by a user terminal included in a specific group.

19 - 31 . (canceled)

32 . A content relay method performed at a user terminal, the method comprising:
searching for a channel generated at a channel operator terminal; selecting a channel in order to connect to the searched channel; and executing content set to the channel through connection to the selected channel, wherein the content is relayed through a display device that associated with the channel, and the channel is connected with a user terminal present around the display device or connectible by a user terminal included in a specific group.

33 . The method of claim 32 , wherein the searching for the channel comprises searching for a channel used for relaying the content through the display device if the user terminal is connected to a network specified at the channel and is present within a distance adjacent to an installation area of the display device that associated with the channel.

34 . The method of claim 32 , wherein the display device relays content of a user terminal selected from a plurality of user terminals connected to the channel.

35 . The method of claim 32 , wherein the channel is set to the same network as a network connected with the display device.

36 . The method of claim 32 , wherein the channel operator terminal selects a user terminal based on channel connection priority, random priority, or arbitrary designation.

37 . The method of claim 32 , further comprising:
one-time logging in another user terminal that associated with the display device through the channel.

38 - 44 . (canceled)

45 . A user terminal comprising:
a channel searcher configured to search for a channel generated at a channel operator terminal; a channel selector configured to select a channel in order to connect to the searched channel; and a content executor configured to execute content set to the channel through connection to the selected channel, wherein the content is relayed through a display device that associated with the channel, and the channel is connected with a user terminal present around the display device or connectible by a user terminal included in a specific group.

46 . The user terminal of claim 45 , wherein the channel searcher searches for a channel used for relaying the content through the display device if the user terminal is connected to a network specified at the channel and is present within a distance adjacent to an installation area of the display device that associated with the channel.

47 . The user terminal of claim 46 , wherein the display device relays content of a user terminal selected from a plurality of user terminals connected to the channel.

48 . The user terminal of claim 45 , wherein the channel is set to the same network as a network connected with the display device.

49 . The user terminal of claim 45 , wherein the channel operator terminal selects a user terminal based on channel connection priority, random priority, or arbitrary designation.

50 . The user terminal of claim 45 , wherein the channel selector one-time logs in another user terminal that associated with the display device through the channel.
