摘要

PURPOSE: Smart contents transmission and storage processing method and smart set top box through D-CATV based multi-set top box virtualization are provided to offer computing resources to other users by virtualizing resources of a set top box. CONSTITUTION: Transmission request information with respect to more than one contents is transmitted to a cloud server or more than one other owner's set top boxes (S11). More than one other owner's set top box information storing the requested contents or more than two parts of contents corresponding to the requested contents are received (S12). The requested contents stored in the other owner's set top box or the partial contents are transmitted (S13). The entire contents are constituted by combining the transmitted partial contents (S14). [Reference numerals] (S11) Transmit transmission request information with respect to more than one contents; (S12) Receive requested contents or more than one other owners' set top box information with respect to more than two partial contents corresponding to the requested contents about the requested contents; (S13) Access to a smart agent of other owners' set top box, and receive the requested contents or partial contents which are stored in the other owners' set top box; (S14) Constitute the entire contents by combining transmitted partial contents
