That is, the processor 110 of the image combination server may provide a content (video, image) player through the user terminal 200 and play the content. Here, as long as it corresponds to data that can be played for a predetermined time, such as a video or an image, it may correspond to the content.

FIG. 2 is a diagram sequentially illustrating a process of producing a recombined content by recombining small images of a specific basic content by an image combining server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 3 is a view showing a state of displaying small images extracted by a user according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a view showing a state in which small images extracted by a user are arranged in order according to an embodiment of the present invention. .

Users can view small images included in a specific basic content through a content player on their terminal.

In this case, the content player may display small images included in a user's specific basic content, and a screen may be configured to facilitate the user to extract the small images according to his or her preference.

For example, the content player may store small images viewed by the user in the user's library, and the screen may be configured to display small images previously viewed when the user clicks a library menu.

In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 3, a small image display area 310 may be displayed on the left side of the library area 300, and a small image extraction area 320 may be displayed on the right side of the screen. In the small image extraction area 320, a list of small images extracted by the user among small images displayed in the library area may be displayed.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, the user may arrange a list of small images extracted by himself/herself according to a specific purpose, arrange them in order, and upload them to the image combination server 100.

From now on, the process of producing the recombined content by recombining the small images of the specific basic content by the image combination server 100 will be described in detail.

First, in a state in which a plurality of basic contents exist, the image combination server 100 may allow the user to select one or more specific basic contents from among a plurality of basic contents (S131).

In this case, the basic contents may be lecture videos supported by the video combination server 100 or User Create Contents (UCC) recorded and edited by an individual on YouTube, and the basic contents may be supported by the video combination server 100. However, it can also be supported by external servers.

The image combination server 100 may support the user to extract some images of a plurality of small images included in the selected specific basic content and set the extracted partial images as a specific small image to be recombined (S132).

For example, the image combination server 100 includes at least a first content and a second content in a specific basic content, and at least a 1-1 small image and a 1-2 small image are included in the first content, , At least a 2-1 small image and a 2-2 small image may be included in the second content.

In this case, the image combination server 100 allows the user to extract at least one or more of the 1-1 small image and the 1-2 small image, and the 2-1 small image, At least one of the 2-2 sub-images may be extracted, and the extracted sub-images may be set as the specific sub-image to be recombined.

As another example, when some of the plurality of small images included in the specific basic content are extracted, the image combination server 100 allows the user to select at least one small image from among the plurality of small images. It can be extracted as the partial image.

In addition, the image combination server 100 may allow the user to extract an image corresponding to a predetermined time out of the total playback time of any one of the plurality of small images as the partial image.

Specifically, an image corresponding to the first 10 minutes based on a start point of the total playback time of the small image may be extracted as the partial image, and an image corresponding to 10 minutes based on a specific time point may be extracted as the partial image. You can let it extract.

Meanwhile, the image combination server 100 sets the extracted partial images as a specific small image to be recombined, and recombines the specific small images into any one predetermined image according to a predetermined criterion or supports recombination (S133) can do.

In this case, the predetermined criterion may be one of a user's interest level, a similarity with a specific topic, a lecture table of contents, a fee, a number of views, a popularity, and a rating, or a combination thereof. Of course, the predetermined criterion is not fixed and may vary according to the intention of the user.

For example, when the user wants to create content related to'How to use YouTube', small images related to this can be extracted, such as'Understanding YouTube','Content Quality', and'Item Conception Methodology'. have.

As another example, the image combination server 100 may receive an additional image from an external server in addition to the contents stored in the database, add the additional image to specific small images extracted by the user, and It can be recombined into one predetermined image or support recombination by listing according to the criteria of.

Next, the image combination server 100 may cause the recombined predetermined image to be newly generated (S134) as recombined content. The newly created recombined content may be displayed to a user, and may be sold to a consumer or supported for sale.

On the other hand, for the newly generated recombined content to be sold to a consumer or supporting the sale, it will be described in detail later through a detailed description.

5 is a diagram illustrating a display of a user's comment and bookmark according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the user has previously viewed a first small image included in a specific basic content, and the user's comment and bookmark 312 are included in the first small image, the first small image It can be set as an image. That is, the first small image previously viewed and left with a comment or the like may be selected as an object of the recombined content.

In this case, when displaying the recombined content, the video combination server 100 may include and display the user's comment and bookmark 312.

Specifically, when the user views the first small video, important contents of the lecturer's lecture contents at a specific point in time may be summarized, or definitions of unknown words may be memorized and stored, and the specific point in time may be displayed as a bookmark.

When the user's comment and bookmark 312 are included at the specific point in time of the first small image, and then, when the first small image is set as the specific small image and viewed by another user, the user's comment and bookmark ( 312) can be referenced. Conversely, according to the setting, the user's comment and bookmark 312 may not be displayed.

As described above, according to the present invention, the image combination server may allow the newly generated recombined content to be sold to a consumer or support the sale.

Specifically, in a state in which a plurality of content providers providing the specific basic content and the content provider includes at least a first basic content provider and a second basic content provider, the recombined content is a predetermined price set by the user Can be sold according to.

In this case, the image combination server 100 may support or deliver the profit of the predetermined price to the specific basic content provider, the recombination content provider, and the seller. Here, the profit of the predetermined price may be appropriately distributed by the video combination server 100.

For example, in the case of delivering or supporting a portion of the profit of the predetermined price to the first basic content provider and the second basic content provider, the revenue of the first basic content provider and the second basic content provider is 5: It can be distributed in a ratio of 5.

In addition, as another example, a portion of the profit of the predetermined price may be differently distributed according to the number of specific small images set or the summed playback time obtained by summing the playback time of the set small images.

For example, if the number of specific small images of the first basic content provider is 3 and the number of specific small images of the second content provider is 7, a portion of the profit of the predetermined price may be distributed in a ratio of 3:7. have.

In addition, the summed playback time of specific small images of the first basic content provider accounts for 60% of the total playback time of the recombined content, and the summed playback time of specific small images of the second basic content provider is of the recombined content. Assuming that it occupies 40% of the total playing time, the profit of the predetermined price can be distributed in a ratio of 6:4.

Meanwhile, it may be assumed that a portion of the profit of the predetermined price is delivered to the specific basic content provider and the recombined content provider, and the specific basic content provider includes at least the first basic content provider and the second basic content provider. .

In this case, if either the first basic content provider or the second basic content provider is a recombined content provider, a portion of the profit of the predetermined price may be distributed to the recombined content provider at a rate of 70 to 80%.

In addition, when a portion of the profit of the predetermined price is delivered to the seller and the recombined content provider, the revenue of the seller and the recombined content provider may be distributed in a ratio of 9:1 to 8:2.

As another example, in a state in which the first basic content provider, the second basic content provider, and the user are included in the user using the image combination server 100, the user's rating in the image combination server is the number of uploads, It can be assumed that it is determined by at least one of the number of visits, payment amount, popularity, and views.

In this case, when the rating of the second basic content provider is higher than the rating of the first basic content provider, the video combination server delivers an amount greater than half of a portion of the profit of the predetermined price to the second basic content provider, or Can support delivery. In other words, it is possible to support the distribution of a larger amount of revenue to users with higher ratings.

6 is a diagram illustrating a display of a highly popular recombination content provider according to an embodiment of the present invention.

6, the image combination server 100 measures the popularity of the recombination content providers according to a predetermined standard, and selects some of the most popular recombination content providers according to the measured popularity of the user. It can be displayed on the screen.

Specifically, the image combination server 100 evaluates the recombination content providers through views, ratings, etc. for the recombination contents provided by the recombination content providers, and ranks the recombination content providers in the order of the highest rating. They can be listed and displayed.

In addition, when the recombination content providers with high ratings are displayed in one area of the display area (not shown), and when an external user clicks on any one of the recombination content providers with the high rating, the recombination content provider Other recombined contents produced by the company can be viewed.

In addition, the image combination server 100 may support the recombination content providers to produce a mini-homepage including the recombined content created by the recombined content providers, and may allow the mini-homepage to be freely used by external users.

For reference, the number of times the mini-homepage is used may also be reflected when evaluating the recombined content provider.

Meanwhile, in the above, it has been described that the extracted small images (or some images) are recombined (sequenced) according to a standard to generate a recombined content which is any one image. However, it is possible to add another extracted sub-picture in the middle of reproducing one of the extracted sub-pictures rather than a simple arrangement.

Specifically, when the playback time of any one extracted first sub-picture is 30 minutes, the first sub-picture is played back up to 10 minutes, and then another extracted second sub-picture (40 minutes) is added 2 After the sub-picture is finished, it may be recombined to reproduce the remaining 20 minutes of the first sub-picture. As a result, a total of 70 minutes of recombination content (the first small image of 10 minutes + the second small image of 40 minutes + the first small image of 20 minutes) can be generated.

In addition, as another example, a process in which the first small image and the second small image are simultaneously reproduced as a dual screen may be generated as recombined content. Specifically, after the first small image is reproduced for 10 minutes, a recombined content that can be reproduced with the remaining 30 minute period of the second small image is generated.

In other words, in the newly created recombination content, a total of 40 minutes of video can be played, in detail, the first small image of 10 minutes and the dual screen of 30 minutes (first small image + second small image) can be played. I will be able to. In the case of the dual screen, the first small image or the second small image may be provided according to the user's selection.
