At this time, referring to FIGS. 3a and 3b, the content providing device 100 may be further configured to include at least one mounting member 360 for mounting the external electronic device 400 below the second substrate 350. The at least one mounting member 360 may be integrally formed with the content providing device 100 and / or may be configured to be detachable from the second substrate 350 of the content providing device 100.

[0040] According to various embodiments, the first substrate 310 and the second substrate 320 may be made of a flat transparent material. The transparent material may include an acrylic material, but is not limited to the described example, and may include glass and other types of plastic materials. The thicknesses of the first substrate 310 and the second substrate 320 can each be realized as 0.1 cm, but are not limited to the described numerical values.

[0041] According to various embodiments, the main body 330 can be realized with materials such as flat wood and / or aluminum. As shown in FIG. 3b, the main body 330 can be configured to include at least one structure 331 for arranging at least one short-range communication module 370. The structure 331 can be a groove and / or hole structure realized in a shape and / or size corresponding to the short-range communication module, but is not limited to the described examples, and can be a protruding structure and / or a simple flat area. The thickness of the main body 330 can be realized as 0.3 cm each, but is not limited to the described numerical values.

[0042] According to various embodiments, the first printing layer 320 disposed between the first substrate 310 and the main body 330 can be a printed matter with an image related to an artist and / or the artist's content (e.g., an album) printed thereon. For example, a photographed picture of the artist and / or a cover picture of the artist's album may be printed on the first printing layer 320. The image related to the artist can be visually recognized through the transparent first substrate 310, whereby the content providing device 100 can be used as a design element for indoor interior.

[0043] According to various embodiments, information related to an artist and / or the artist's content (e.g., an album) may be printed on the second printing layer 340 disposed between the second substrate 350 and the main body 330. For example, a list of recorded songs included in the album, lyrics of the sound source, and / or text and / or figures for indicating some information not limited to the described examples may be printed on the second printing layer 320.

[0044] According to various embodiments, at least one placement member 360 may be configured on the lower surface of the second substrate 350. The at least one placement member 360 can be configured in a shape corresponding to at least a part of the placement structures 410 and 420 of the external electronic device 400 described above. As an example, as shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b, a plurality of placement members 360a, 360b, 360c, and 360d having a shape protruding so as to be insertable into the hole structures 420a, 420b, 420c, and 420d can be realized.

[0045] According to various embodiments, at least a part of the components (e.g., a short - range communication circuit) and / or packaging materials included in the following content providing device 100 can be realized with biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials. For example, biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials can include starch, ink based on soybean oil, etc., but are not limited to the described examples and can include various types of biodegradable materials (e.g., biodegradable plastics, etc.). In one example, the output printed on the content providing device 100 and / or the packaging material can be realized with ink based on soybean oil, and the material on which the output is printed can be realized with an environmentally friendly material such as starch. On the other hand, when the content providing device 100 including the short - range communication circuit is realized with an environmentally friendly material, there may be a problem that the short - range communication circuit 205 is damaged when the strength of the content providing device 100 becomes weak. Therefore, according to various embodiments, the content providing device 100 can be realized to include a physical design structure and / or additional members including the short - range communication circuit for preventing damage to the short - range communication circuit, but is not limited to the described examples.

[0046] According to various embodiments, referring to FIG. 3c, the content providing device 100 can be provided, distributed, displayed, and / or sold enclosed in a single packaging material 380.

[0050] According to various embodiments, referring to FIG. 4a, the content providing device 100 is realized in a rectangular shape with a width w1 and a length w2, and thus the area S can be calculated as the product of the width w1 and the length w2. At this time, w1 and w2 may be designed to correspond to each other. For example, each of the width w1 and the length w2 of the configuration included in the above-described content providing device 100 is formed within a range of 25 cm or more and 35 cm or less, whereby the area is 625 m 2 or more and 1225 m 2 or less. On the other hand, without being limited to the described example, each of the width w1 and the length w2 may be formed with different numerical values and may be realized in various shapes that are not rectangular.

[0051] According to various embodiments, referring to FIG. 4b, the content providing apparatus 100 can be implemented to include the short-range communication module 370 in various forms.

Each of the plurality of short-range communication modules 370 may be disposed in a form separated from each other by a predetermined distance so as not to affect each other. One of the plurality of short-range communication modules 370 may be disposed at the center, and the remaining short-range communication modules may be disposed at the corners. Referring to FIG. 4b(c), the content providing apparatus 100 includes a plurality of short-range communication modules 370, and can be disposed above or below the separation layer 400 so that each electronic device 200 is activated when contacting the first printing layer 310 or the second printing layer 320 (or located within a distance specified from the short-range communication module 370). The separation layer 400 can be realized with a material (e.g., metal) for preventing and / or inhibiting communication connection. The separation layer 400 is provided in a form inserted into the middle of the main body 330, and each of the plurality of short-range communication modules 370 can be disposed in the upper portion or the lower portion of the main body 330 separated by the separation layer 400.

[0052] According to various embodiments, when a plurality of short-range communication modules 370 are implemented, each of the plurality of short-range communication modules 370 may be configured to provide different identification information. Each identification information can be used for corresponding to different digital contents and / or for security.

As described with reference to FIG. 2, the electronic device 200 can also receive and play content from the external electronic device 400. Thereby, a collaborative content providing operation can be executed.

[0080] FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining a method by which an electronic device according to various embodiments provides digital content based on short - range wireless communication. FIGS. 11a and 11b are diagrams for explaining a function in which at least one object is activated by an electronic device according to various embodiments based on short - range wireless communication.

[0081] Referring to FIG. 10, in operation 1001, the electronic device 200 can execute an application implemented to provide a function for searching for at least one piece of content. For example, the electronic device 200 can execute an application implemented to provide a function for searching for at least one piece of content based on a user input. When the application is executed, the electronic device 200 can display a basic screen (not shown). For example, the basic screen (not shown) can display a plurality of image data. The basic screen 511 can include a search icon for content search. In response to a user input selecting the search icon, the electronic device 200 can display a search screen. For example, the search screen may be implemented to include a search term input field, and may be implemented to display a plurality of image data corresponding to the search term (e.g., artist name, group name, affiliated company) input into the search term input field. In response to a user input selecting one of the plurality of image data corresponding to the search term, the electronic device 200 can display an image screen corresponding to the selected image data. The image screen can include an image corresponding to the selected image data, and hash tags (e.g., search term, first hash tag, second hash tag) for searching for the image. When a search is executed based on the hash tag, image data corresponding to the hash tag can be searched. As an example, when the hash tag is input into the search term input field of the search screen and / or the hash tag of the image screen is selected, image data corresponding to the hash tag can be searched. On the other hand, two or more hash tags can be selected to execute a search, but it is not limited to the described example.

[0082] According to various embodiments, in operation 1003, the electronic device 200 can obtain first identification information related to a short-range communication circuit included in an external device. When an application is executed, the electronic device 200 can display a first execution screen 601, similar to FIG. 11a. For example, the first execution screen 601 can include a plurality of objects 1103-1, 1103-2, 1103-3, 1103-4, 1103-5, 1103-6, and each of the plurality of objects 1103-1, 1103-2, 1103-3, 1103-4, 1103-5, 1103-6 can correspond to different digital contents (e.g., a specific album released by a specific artist and / or a specific artist group). The plurality of objects 1103-1, 1103-2, 1103-3, 1103-4, 1103-5, 1103-6 included in the first execution screen 1101 can be provided in an initially deactivated state (e.g., before contact with the content providing device 100 (or within a distance specified by the short-range communication module 370)). On the other hand, without being limited to the described and / or illustrated examples, activated objects can also be provided.

[0083] According to various embodiments, when the electronic device 200 receives a user input for a specific object (e.g., Album A object 1103-1), the electronic device 200 can display a screen 1105 that induces (or guides) contact with the content providing device 100 (or being located within a distance specified by the short-range communication module 370). While displaying the screen 1105, the electronic device 200 can control the short-range communication circuit 319 to be in a signal reception standby state. At this time, the contact between the electronic device 200 and the content providing device 100 can mean that the physical distance between the electronic device 200 and the content providing device 100 is equal to or less than a specific distance, that is, being located within the distance specified by the short-range communication module 370. When the content providing device 100 and the electronic device 200 come into contact, the electronic device 200 can obtain first identification information related to the content providing device 100 from the content providing device 100 through short-range wireless communication. For example, the first identification information can include the unique information of the content providing device 100 and content identification information. Using the unique information of the content providing device 100, it is possible to prevent one content providing device 100 from being reused by other users.

[0084] According to various embodiments, in operation 1005, the electronic device 200 can transmit the first identification information and second identification information related to the electronic device 200 to the server and receive information corresponding to the identification information from the server. For example, the first identification information is the unique information of the content providing device 100 and content identification information received from the content providing device 100, and the second identification information can be the unique information of the electronic device 200 and / or user account information (e.g., account information registered through an application).

[0085] According to various embodiments, in operation 1007, based on the received information, the electronic device 200 can control the state of the first object corresponding to the identification information among the plurality of objects provided on the first execution screen of the application to an active state, and control the states of the remaining second objects to an inactive state. For example, when the object corresponding to the first identification information is the first object 1103-1, as shown in the 607 screen of FIG. 11a, the electronic device 200 can control the state of the first object 1103-1 to an active state, and control the states of the objects 1103-2, 1103-3, 1103-4, 1103-5, 1103-6 excluding the first object to an inactive state. The other objects 1103-2, 1103-3, 1103-4, 1103-5, 1103-6 controlled to the inactive state are maintained to provide a function of controlling the short-range communication circuit 319 to a signal reception standby state together with the above-described guide screen when a user input is received. However, the object 1103-1 controlled to the active state can be updated to provide the following digital content and / or functions when a user input is received. While checking the activated album state, the user can experience the process of collecting albums related to a specific artist.

[0086] According to various embodiments, in operation 1009, the electronic device 200 can provide at least one content related to the first object and / or execute at least one function related to the first object.

The first screen 611, the second screen 1113, the third screen 1115, the fourth screen 1117, and the fifth screen 1119 sequentially show screens that scroll up the execution screen of the first object. The execution screen of the first object can include an icon for downloading or real-time streaming digital music data related to the first object. Accordingly, the electronic device 200 can download or stream in real time digital music data related to the first object according to the user input. Also, the execution screen of the first object can include screens 1113, 1115, 1117, 1119 that show content (e.g., album introductions, information, and album jacket photos, etc.) related to the first object.

[0087] FIGS. 12A and 12B are flowcharts for explaining a method by which an electronic device provides digital content based on short-range wireless communication according to various embodiments. FIGS. 13A and 13B are diagrams for explaining a function by which an electronic device provides digital content based on user input according to various embodiments.

[0088] Referring to FIGS. 12A to 12B, in operation 1201, the electronic device 200 can execute an application implemented to provide a function for searching for at least one content. For example, the electronic device 200 can execute an application implemented to provide a function for searching for at least one content according to a user input.

[0089] According to various embodiments, in operation 1203, the electronic device 200 can obtain first identification information related to a short-range communication circuit included in an external device. When a content source comes into contact with the electronic device 200, the electronic device 200 can obtain first identification information related to the content providing device 100 from the content providing device 100 through short-range wireless communication. For example, the first identification information can include unique information of the content providing device 100 and content identification information. At this time, the contact between the electronic device 200 and the content providing device 100 can mean that the physical distance between the electronic device 200 and the content providing device 100 is equal to or less than a specific distance.

[0090] According to various embodiments, in operation 1205, the electronic device 200 can transmit the first identification information and second identification information related to the electronic device 200 to a server and receive information corresponding to the identification information from the server. For example, the first identification information is unique information of the content providing device 100 and content identification information received from the content providing device 100, and the second identification information can be unique information of the electronic device 200.

[0091] According to various embodiments, in operation 1207, the electronic device 200 can control the state of a first object corresponding to the identification information among a plurality of objects provided on the first execution screen of the application to an active state and control the states of the remaining second objects to an inactive state based on the received information. For example, the plurality of objects provided on the first execution screen can be objects that correspond one-to-one to respective ones of a plurality of albums of a specific singer. And the content identification information can be information corresponding to one of the plurality of albums of the specific singer. Accordingly, one of the plurality of albums of the specific singer can be activated according to the content providing device 100 that has come into contact with the electronic device 200.

[0092] According to various embodiments, in operation 1209, the electronic device 200 can receive a user input for selecting a first object. For example, after the first object corresponding to the content providing device 100 is activated, the electronic device 200 can receive a user input for selecting the first object that is in the activated state.

[0093] According to various embodiments, when a user input for selecting the first object is received (1209-Yes), in operation 711, the electronic device 200 can provide a second execution screen of the application including at least one first content related to the first object. Similar to FIG. 13a, the second execution screen 801 can include a plurality of menus. The plurality of menus can be realized to provide a streaming function of a sound source file related to the activated album described above and / or to provide content (first menu), a menu (second menu) for registering and managing photo cards of at least one artist who released the album, and a menu (third menu) for providing content related to the album updated to the server 300. When the second menu described above is selected, the electronic device 200 can include a plurality of objects 1303, 1305, 1307, 1309 corresponding to photo cards of at least one artist corresponding to the activated album, but is not limited to the described example, and the number of objects can be realized in various ways. Here, the state where the object is closed can mean a state where digital content corresponding to the object is not provided, and the state where the object is open can mean providing digital content corresponding to the object in response to a user input for selecting the object.

[0094] According to various embodiments, in operation 1213, the electronic device 200 may capture an image and transmit the captured image to a server. Similar to FIG. 13a, the electronic device 200 may capture a photo card 207 and transmit the captured image to the server 300. At this time, the electronic device 200 may activate the camera while providing a capture screen for capturing the photo card 390 in response to selecting an object 1303 corresponding to a photo card corresponding to a specific singer (e.g., member A), but is not limited to the described example.

[0095] According to various embodiments, in operation 1215, the electronic device 200 can register a specific photo card corresponding to an image and provide a third execution screen of an application including at least one second content related to the specific photo card based on the information received from the server 300. The server 300 can provide the electronic device 200 with information for activating the object 1303 corresponding to the photo card of the identified A member based on analyzing the image. In one embodiment, the server 300 can identify the A member based on comparing the face in the image with the faces of multiple artists stored in the server 300 based on the analysis of the face. Also, in one embodiment, the server 300 can identify the A member based on comparing the feature points in the image with the feature points of images stored in the server 300 for multiple artists respectively. Also, in one embodiment, the server 300 can identify the A member based on the text identified from the image. The text can be realized as visible text, but can also be realized on the photo card 207 so as not to be visible in the visible area. The electronic device 200 can register a specific photo card based on the information received from the server 300. Here, registering the photo card can mean controlling the object corresponding to the photo card to be in an open state. For example, among the multiple objects 1313, 1315, 1317, 1319 included in the execution screen 811 of the electronic device 200, the object 1313 corresponding to the photo card of a specific artist (for example, the A member) can be controlled to be in an open state. Then, the electronic device 200 can provide an execution screen 821 including multiple contents 1323, 1325, 1327, 1329, 1331, 1333 related to the photo card corresponding to the object 1313 in response to a user input for selecting the object 1313. The multiple contents 1323, 1325, 1327, 1329, 1331, 1333 are contents that do not physically circulate and can be unique digital contents that can be provided only through the system 10.The electronic device 200 can provide an additional function of providing content according to a user input for selecting content related to a registered photo card. For example, among a plurality of contents 1323, 1325, 1327, 1329, 1331, 1333 related to Mark, in response to a user input for selecting a specific content 1331, an enlarged screen 1335 obtained by enlarging the selected specific content 1331 can be provided. Also, when a swipe input is received on the enlarged screen 1335, the electronic device 200 can provide a function of advancing to the next-order content 1333 of the selected specific content 1331, such as a screen 1337. Further, when a zoom-in input is received, the electronic device 200 can provide enlarged content like a screen 1339.
