1. A method, performed by a computing device, of providing image playing rate information, the method comprising:
receiving, from a user terminal, a target image request signal;
transmitting, to the user terminal, a target image in a first state or the target image in a second state, based on whether the target image request signal satisfies a specified standard, the target image in the first state being a real-time image and the target image in the second state being a stored image, the specified standard being whether a point in time at which the target image request signal is received is included in a real-time target image broadcasting section;
obtaining, from the user terminal, a pair of state information and image playing information of the target image for each specified time, the image playing information relating to image playing time of the target image by the user terminal; and
providing user-wise playing rate information of the target image, based on the pair of the state information and the image playing information of the target image for each specified time,
wherein the providing comprises providing accumulated playing rate information for the target image based on a first playing rate of the target image in the first state and a second playing rate of the target image in the second state for each user, by using the image playing information such that the accumulated playing rate information for the target image is obtained based on an actual playing section of the target image by the user considering an overlap between a first playing section of the target image corresponding to the first playing rate and a second playing section of the target image corresponding to the second playing rate.
