Abstract

An input apparatus capable of receiving an input is provided. The input apparatus includes a communicator configured to communicate with a first user terminal device and a second user terminal device, a processor, in response to a content being selected from the first user terminal device through the input apparatus and a first predetermined event occurring, configured to receive information about identifier information and an encryption key of the first user terminal device from the first user terminal device and, in response to a second predetermined event occurring, configured to transmit the received information about the identifier information and the encryption key of the first user terminal device to the second user terminal device. Accordingly, user convenience will grow due to the reinforcement of security and availability of conveniently transmitting data to an external device without using a separate external device.
