a first terminal located in the taxi vehicle and configured to display media content provided from a server that provides a call/allocation service on a screen, wherein the media content displayed through the first terminal is varied based on whether a passenger in the taxi vehicle used the call/allocation service to board the taxi vehicle.

2 . The terminal system of claim 1 , further comprising a second terminal located in the taxi vehicle, wherein the second terminal is configured to:
receive a call request from the server; and manage allocation of the taxi vehicle based on reception of the call request.

3 . The terminal system of claim 2 , wherein in response to the allocation for the taxi vehicle being determined by the server, the second terminal is configured to:
receive call information comprising departure place or destination information from the server; and identify whether the passenger in the taxi vehicle used the call/allocation service to board the taxi vehicle based on whether the call information is received.

4 . The terminal system of claim 2 , wherein:
the first terminal is configured to display a second media content related to a membership subscription of the call/allocation service on the screen in response to the passenger in the taxi vehicle not using the call/allocation service to board the taxi vehicle; and the second media content comprises information on a member registration guide for the call/allocation service or a promotion related to the membership subscription of the call/allocation service.

5 . The terminal system of claim 2 , wherein:
the second terminal is configured to display a plurality of selection buttons for determining a basic fare on the screen; and the first terminal is configured to display the media content on the screen in response to a selection of any one of the plurality of selection buttons being detected by the second terminal.

6 . The terminal system of claim 5 , wherein in response to the selection of any one of the plurality of selection buttons being detected by the second terminal in a state in which a business mode of the taxi vehicle is set to an empty car mode, the first terminal is configured to display second media content related to a membership subscription of the call/allocation service on the screen.

7 . The terminal system of claim 5 , wherein in response to the selection of any one of the plurality of selection buttons being detected by the second terminal in a state in which the taxi vehicle is not allocated by the server, the first terminal is configured to display second media content related to a membership subscription of the call/allocation service on the screen.

8 . The terminal system of claim 5 , wherein in response to the selection of any one of the plurality of selection buttons being detected by the second terminal, the first terminal is configured to change to an activated state and display the media content.

9 . The terminal system of claim 8 , wherein the second terminal is configured to:
receive the media content from the server; and transmit the received media content to the first terminal in response to the first terminal being in the activated state.

10 . The terminal system of claim 2 , wherein the first terminal is located in a rear seat area of the taxi vehicle, and the second terminal is located in a front seat area of the taxi vehicle.

11 . The terminal system of claim 1 , wherein the first terminal is configured to display a first media content related to a use of the call/allocation service on the screen in response to the passenger in the taxi vehicle using the call/allocation service to board the taxi vehicle.

12 . The terminal system of claim 11 , wherein in response to the server determining allocation of the taxi vehicle in response to a call request, the first terminal is configured to receive the first media content from the server.

13 . The terminal system of claim 12 , wherein the first media content comprises information on a promotion comprising a discount event related to the use of the call/allocation service, a coupon payment event, or a point payment event.

14 . A server configured to provide a call/allocation service, the server comprising:
a storage device configured to store a first media content related to service use of the call/allocation service and a second media content related to a membership subscription of the call/allocation service; and a control device configured to provide the first media content or the second media content to terminals located in taxi vehicles, wherein the control device is configured to provide the first media content to a first terminal of a first taxi vehicle that is in an allocated state in response to a call request received from a user, and to provide the second media content to a first terminal of a second taxi vehicle that is in a non-allocated state.

15 . The server of claim 14 , wherein the control device is configured to provide the second media content to the first terminal of the second taxi vehicle that is in the non-allocated state in response to a request for media content being received from the second taxi vehicle.

16 . A media providing method of a taxi vehicle, the method comprising:
receiving media content provided from a server providing a call/allocation service; and displaying the media content on a screen, wherein the media content varies based on whether a passenger in the taxi vehicle used the call/allocation service to board the taxi vehicle.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein:
receiving the media content comprises receiving a first media content related to a use of the call/allocation service in response to allocation of the taxi vehicle being determined by the server; and displaying the media content comprises displaying the first media content on the screen.

18 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising:
receiving a call request from the server; detecting an acceptance input for the call request; transmitting an allocation request to the server; in response to the taxi vehicle being allocated by the server in response to the call request, receiving the first media content from the server; and transmitting the first media content.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein a first terminal is located in a rear seat area of the taxi vehicle, and a second terminal is located in a front seat area of the taxi vehicle.

20 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the first media content comprises information on a promotion comprising a discount event related to the use of the call/allocation service, a coupon payment event, or a point payment event.
