Abstract
A method of sharing audio/video (A/V) content in a network, a sink device, a source device, and the structure of a message. The method of sharing the A/V content via the network includes: receiving information regarding the sharing state of the A/V content from a source device, which provides the A/V content; transmitting a request to transmit the shared A/V content, to the source device; and receiving the shared A/V content from the source device in response to the request. Accordingly, it is possible to share content with a plurality of devices in the network. Particularly, by providing a content sharing configuration in a receiving device having a user interface, more varied scenarios may be provided.
