The method includes: receiving an identifier regarding the external device and an identifier regarding a user input that is input to the external device, from the external device; transmitting the identifier regarding the external device and the identifier regarding the user input to a server; receiving content about the external device and the user input from the server, based on the identifier regarding the external device and the identifier regarding the user input; and displaying the received content on a screen. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A mobile device comprising: a memory in which at least one program is stored; at least one communicator configured to exchange data with an external device and a server; and a processor configured to provide content about the external device by executing the at least one program, wherein the at least one program comprises instructions to perform: receiving an identifier regarding the external device and an identifier regarding a user input that is input to the external device from the external device; transmitting the identifier regarding the external device and the identifier regarding the user input to the server; receiving content about the external device and the user input from the server, based on the identifier regarding the external device and the identifier regarding the user input; and displaying the received content on a screen. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the received content comprises content received from the server to provide a social networking service (SNS). ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the received content comprises content determined by the server based on information about a product regarding the external device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The mobile device of claim 3, wherein the information about the product comprises at least one of a model name, a serial number, a manufacture number, and a product number of the product. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein, in the receiving of the content, detailed information for using a product regarding the external device is received from the server when the identifier regarding the user input is a first identifier. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein, in the receiving of the content, a graphical user interface (GUI) for uploading data about a product regarding the external device is received from the server when the identifier regarding the user input is a second identifier. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein, in the receiving of the content, a GUI for communicating with another user who uses a product that is identical to a product regarding the external device is received from the server when the identifier regarding the user input is a third identifier. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The mobile device of claim 7, wherein the at least one program further comprises instructions to perform making a video call to the another user by using the GUI for communicating with the another user. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein, when the identifier regarding the user input indicates a user input of colliding the external device with another external device, the receiving of the content comprises receiving, from the server, a video comprising a scene in which a product regarding the external device and a product regarding the another external device are used together. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the at least one program further comprises instructions to perform: displaying a GUI for determining whether to display the content about the external device when the identifier regarding the external device and the identifier regarding the user input are received; and determining whether to display the content about the external device, based on a user input through the displayed GUI. ### Claim 11 A method of providing, by a mobile device, content about an external device, the method comprising: receiving an identifier regarding the external device and an identifier regarding a user input that is input to the external device, from the external device; transmitting the identifier regarding the external device and the identifier regarding the user input to a server; receiving content about the external device and the user input from the server, based on the identifier regarding the external device and the identifier regarding the user input; and displaying the received content on a screen. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the received content comprises content received from the server to provide a social networking service (SNS). ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the received content comprises content determined by the server based on information about a product regarding the external device. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the information about the product comprises at least one of a model name, a serial number, a manufacture number, and a product number of the product. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein, in the receiving of the content, detailed information for using a product regarding the external device is received from the server when the identifier regarding the user input is a first identifier. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein, in the receiving of the content, a graphical user interface (GUI) for uploading data about a product regarding the external device is received from the server when the identifier regarding the user input is a second identifier. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein, in the receiving of the content, a GUI for communicating with another user who uses a product that is identical to a product regarding the external device is received from the server when the identifier regarding the user input is a third identifier. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17, further comprising making a video call to the another user by using the GUI for communicating with the another user. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein, when the identifier regarding the user input indicates a user input of colliding the external device with another external device, the receiving of the content comprises receiving, from the server, a video comprising a scene in which a product regarding the external device and a product regarding the another external device are used together. ### Claim 20 (depends on 11) A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program which, when executed by a computer, performs the method of claim 11.
