Method for recovering av session and control point for the same

A method for recovering an A/V session and a control point for the same are provided to conveniently recover the A/V session if playback is abnormally terminated by an error generated in the A/V session. The control point includes an information collecting module(1120) collecting A/V session information and a recovering module(1170) controlling recovery of the A/V session based on the collected A/V session information if the error occurs in the A/V session. The A/V session includes at least one of an ID of a media renderer and a media server forming the A/V session, a URI(Uniform Resource Identifier) of the contents played by the A/V session, and content playback information. If an event message is received from the media renderer forming the A/V session, the information collecting module obtains the A/V session information from the event message. The recovering module requests the media renderer confirmed by the A/V session information to play the contents identified by the URI from a content playback position based on the obtained A/V session information.
