Abstract

A method for providing a content streaming service and managing data statistics of a user using a quick response (QR) code is provided. The method includes receiving, by a server, scan data of the QR code printed on a real content product of the user from a user terminal, authenticating, by the server, the purchase of the real content product of the user based on the scan data and registering unique information of the user terminal which transmits the scan data, registering, by the server, content corresponding to the scan data with a list of content of the user terminal, receiving, by the server, a request to stream the content registered with the list of the content of the user terminal from the user terminal, and transmitting, by the server, streaming data of the requested content to the user terminal.

Claims

1. A method for providing a content streaming service and managing data statistics of a user using a quick response (QR) code, the method comprising:

receiving, by a server, scan data of the QR code printed on a real content product of the user from a user terminal;

authenticating, by the server, the purchase of the real content product of the user based on the scan data and registering unique information of the user terminal which transmits the scan data;

registering, by the server, content corresponding to the scan data with a list of content of the user terminal;

receiving, by the server, a request to stream the content registered with the list of the content of the user terminal from the user terminal; and

transmitting, by the server, streaming data of the requested content to the user terminal,

wherein the content streamed to the user terminal is provided with higher definition than content stored in a storage medium of the real content product.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

after a predetermined time elapses from a time when the server authenticates the purchase of the real content product of the user, when a user account logged in to the user terminal is an account for paid account, maintaining, by the server, the list of the content of the user terminal in a state where the content is able to be streamed; and

when the user account is an account for free account, converting, by the server, the list of the content of the user terminal into a state where the content is unable to be streamed.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

when the user account logged in to the user terminal is the account for paid member, additionally registering, by the server, content for paid member to the list of the content of the user terminal.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

collecting, by the server, information about a profile of a user account of the user whose purchase of the real content product is authenticated, information about the real content product, information about a profile of a user account of the user who requests to stream the content, and information about the content requested to be streamed; and

storing, by the server, the collected information in a big data storage of the server.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

generating, by the server, statistics information about a propensity to consume content by analyzing the information stored in the big data storage.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the QR code is printed on the inside of a package of the real content product or on at least one surface of the storage medium of the real content product.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the content comprises one or more of a text, an audio, an image, or a video.

8. A computer program being stored in a computer-readable storage medium to be combined with a computer and perform the method of claim 1.
