Abstract

Provided are a terminal and a service providing device, an electronic wallet system including the same, a control method thereof, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer program recorded thereon. That is, according to the present invention, instead of directly sharing a content including personal information displayed in a specific app, such as an electronic wallet app, installed in the terminal with an SNS or the like, the same content, which does not include personal information and is previously stored in the service providing device so as to correspond to the content, is shared through an SNS corresponding to the terminal, so that it is possible to improve convenience of a user and enhance availability of contents.

Claims

1. A control method of a service providing device comprising:

when a predetermined share button is selected in a first terminal, receiving, by a communication unit, identification data configured to identify a first content corresponding to the predetermined share button from the first terminal, wherein the first terminal is configured to, in a background state, transmit to the service providing device, unique identification information of the first terminal including a mobile directory number (MDN), a mobile internet protocol (IP), a mobile media access control (MAC), SIM card information, and a serial number;

verifying, by a control unit, a first content corresponding to the identification data among a plurality of pre-stored contents;

transmitting, by the communication unit, access address information to the first terminal, wherein the first content verified by the control unit is stored in the access address information; and

when a second terminal accesses the service providing device by selecting the access address information, transmitting, by the communication unit, a first content corresponding to the access address information to the second terminal, wherein the access address information is configured to link to a social network service account interworking with the first terminal after the first terminal links the access address information to the social network service account,

wherein a second content corresponding to the identification data is stored in the first terminal,

wherein the second content stored in the first terminal includes a first content stored in the service providing device and identification information corresponding to the first terminal,

wherein the identification information corresponding to the first terminal includes personal information of a user of the first terminal,

wherein the first content stored in the service providing device does not include the personal information of the user of the first terminal, and

wherein the second content stored in the first terminal includes the personal information of the user of the first terminal.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein transmitting the first content to the second terminal comprises:

determining whether a specific app provided by the service providing device is installed in the second terminal based on identification information corresponding to the second terminal; and

when it is determined that the specific app is installed in the second terminal, transmitting, by the communication unit, the first content corresponding to the access address information to the second terminal.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein transmitting the first content to the second terminal comprises:

when it is determined that the specific app is not installed in the second terminal, installing the specific app in the second terminal by interworking with the second terminal; and

transmitting, by the communication unit, the first content corresponding to the access address information to the second terminal.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein transmitting the first content to the second terminal comprises:

determining a type of the second terminal accessing the service providing device; and

when it is determined that the second terminal is a fixed terminal, transmitting, by the communication unit, the first content corresponding to the access address information to the second terminal.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein transmitting the first content to the second terminal comprises:

when it is determined that the second terminal is a mobile terminal, transmitting, by the communication unit, the first content corresponding to the access address information to the second terminal depending on whether the specific app is installed in the second terminal.

6. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program comprising a set of instructions, when executed, arranged to cause a service providing device to:

receive identification data configured to identify a first content corresponding to a predetermined share button from a first terminal when the predetermined share button is selected in the first terminal, wherein the first terminal is configured to, in a background state, transmit to the service providing device, unique identification information of the first terminal including a mobile directory number (MDN), a mobile internet protocol (IP), a mobile media access control (MAC), SIM card information, and a serial number;

verify a first content corresponding to the identification data among a plurality of pre-stored contents;

transmit access address information to the first terminal, wherein the verified first content is stored in the access address information; and

transmit a first content corresponding to the access address information to a second terminal when the second terminal accesses the service providing device by selecting the access address information, wherein the access address information is configured to link to a social network service account interworking with the first terminal after the first terminal links the access address to the social network service account,

wherein a second content corresponding to the identification data is stored in the first terminal,

wherein the second content stored in the first terminal includes a first content stored in the service providing device and identification information corresponding to the first terminal,

wherein the identification information corresponding to the first terminal includes personal information on a user of the first terminal,

wherein the first content stored in the service providing device does not include the personal information of the user of the first terminal, and

wherein the second content stored in the first terminal includes the personal information of the user of the first terminal.
