Hereinafter, the configuration of the broadcast service device 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2 .

2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a broadcast service device 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2 , a broadcast service device 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first communication unit 31, a second communication unit 32, an analysis evaluation unit 33, a broadcast relay unit 34, statistics An analysis unit 35 is included.

The first communication unit 31 receives real-time broadcasting data produced by the broadcaster 41 through the broadcaster terminal 40 . In addition, the broadcaster terminal 40 may receive biometric information and location information of the broadcaster 41 collected by the broadcaster wearable device 42 and transmit the received information to the first communication unit 31 . In addition, the evaluation score calculated by the analysis evaluation unit 33 is transmitted to the broadcaster terminal 40 . In addition, the first communication unit 31 may further transmit the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction unit 331 of the analysis evaluation unit 33, and the viewer's response calculated through the statistical analysis unit 35, the user wearable device ( 22) may further transmit biometric information and location information of the user 21 obtained.

In order to enable such two-way communication, the first communication unit 31 may be configured as a device that can communicate with the broadcaster terminal 40 by using a network.

The second communication unit 32 transmits the real-time broadcasting data of the broadcaster 41 received by the first communication unit 31 to the user terminal 24 . At this time, the real-time broadcasting data may be as it is received by the first communication unit 31, or may be broadcasting data including chatting information and advertisements of other users 21 by the broadcasting relay unit 34. In addition, the second communication unit 32 transmits the chatting input by the user 21 through the user terminal 24 in response to the real-time broadcasting data transmitted to the user terminal 24 and the biometric information obtained by the user wearable device 22. and location information is received from the user terminal 24 .

In order to enable such two-way communication, the second communication unit 32 may be configured as a device capable of communicating by being connected to the user terminal 24 using a network.

The analysis evaluation unit 33 is a component that processes, analyzes, and evaluates chatting data and biometric information received by the second communication unit 32 from the user terminal 24 . Accordingly, a keyword extraction unit 331, a score calculation unit 332, and a word database 333 are included to analyze and evaluate the data received from the user terminal 24. The analysis evaluation unit 33 transmits the evaluation score obtained as a result of such analysis and evaluation to the broadcaster terminal 40 through the first communication unit 31 .

The keyword extraction unit 331 extracts keywords from chatting data received by the second communication unit 32 from the user terminal 24 . Since the chatting data is given in text format, it is possible to read the data and divide the words, excluding meaningless syllables such as postpositions, and store the frequency of word detection to perform keyword processing on frequently occurring words. As a method for extracting keywords, a term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) model, a TextRank algorithm, etc. may be used, but are not limited thereto. The keyword extraction unit 331 transfers the extracted keyword information to the score calculation unit 332 .

The word database 333 is a list of data in which selected main words are matched with each other to determine whether the corresponding words have positive or negative meanings. In addition to positive/negative meanings, the word database 333 may correspond to meanings such as sadness and joy revealed in words, but is not limited thereto.

The score calculation unit 332 compares the keywords of the chatting data extracted by the keyword extraction unit 331 with the words recorded in the word database 333, and the response of the user 21, that is, positive/negative sentences in the chatting data. It is calculated by quantifying the response such as whether or not. For example, if there is one positive response, 1 is added to the value, and if there is one negative response, 1 is subtracted.

In addition, the score calculation unit 332 assigns a weight to the sentence evaluation calculated by digitizing in this way according to the result of analyzing the biometric information of the user 21 received through the second communication unit 32 . For example, if the user 21's pulse beats rapidly, this means that the user 21 is in an excited state, so a weight may be added to correspond to the emotion of 'positive' or 'excited'. In addition, when the pulse rate is slow, it means that the heart rate has reached a stable state because of feeling comfortable or bored, so the weight can be subtracted to correspond to the emotion of 'negative' or 'boredom'. However, the method of adding or subtracting the weight is not limited thereto. If the keywords are related to 'comfort' or 'stable', the weight may be added rather than subtracted when the pulse rate slows down. In addition, the weight may be assigned based on the analysis result of other types of information as well as the biometric information analysis result.

The score calculation unit 332 calculates an evaluation score by integrating values obtained by adding/subtracting the weight to sentence evaluation. A plurality of users 21 may be connected to one broadcast. Therefore, the keyword evaluation obtained by adding/subtracting the weight may not be a single numerical value, but may be a plurality of numerical values assigned one by one to each user 21's response. this may not be Accordingly, a process of comprehensively evaluating the plurality of numerical values is required, and the comprehensively evaluated numerical values must be delivered to the broadcaster 41 .

The score calculation unit 332 may obtain a mean and a median by collecting values obtained by adding/subtracting a plurality of weights to/from keyword evaluation, and may set the corresponding values as an evaluation score. However, the method for calculating the evaluation score is not limited thereto, and a mode or the like may be used.

The score calculation unit 332 transfers the calculated evaluation score to the first communication unit 31 . The first communication unit 31 transmits the evaluation score received from the score calculation unit 332 to the broadcaster terminal 40 .

The broadcasting relay unit 34 is a component that processes and transmits the real-time broadcasting data received by the first communication unit 31 to the second communication unit 32 . This is because real-time broadcasting data transmitted by the broadcaster 41 through the broadcaster terminal 40 may be unsuitable for the service and may require pre-processing for generating revenue from the broadcasting service. Therefore, chatting data of users 21 is added to real-time broadcast data, evaluation scores calculated by the analysis evaluation unit 33 are added, broadcaster location information is added, advertisements are added, useful information is added, The viewer's response rate analyzed by the statistical analysis unit 35 is added, or content unsuitable for broadcasting is censored and processed by a method such as mosaic, and then transmitted to the second communication unit 32. However, the form in which the broadcasting relay unit 34 processes real-time broadcasting data is not limited thereto.

The statistical analyzer 35 calculates statistics on the biometric information received from the user terminal 24, the number and size per hour of chatting data received from the user terminal 24, and the user 21 connected to the broadcast service device 30. ), the number of viewers watching the broadcast of the corresponding broadcaster 41, the word that appeared most frequently in the chatting in units of minutes or units of 10 seconds, etc. are collected to calculate the degree of viewer response. Therefore, it is connected to the second communication unit 32 to receive chatting data, and is connected to the first communication unit 31 to deliver the calculated viewer response rate, and the first communication unit 31 transmits the received viewer response rate to the broadcaster terminal 40 ) is sent to Also, the viewer's response rate calculated by the statistical analysis unit 35 may be transmitted to the broadcast relay unit 34 .

In addition, although not shown in the figure, the statistical analysis unit 35 receives evaluation scores from the analysis evaluation unit 33 and calculates statistics on the viewer's preference for broadcast data for a certain period of time, the stimulation of broadcasting, and the like. . Numerical values that are the basis for statistics are not limited thereto. Statistical data calculated in this way may be transmitted to the first communication unit 31 and transmitted to the broadcaster 41 . Therefore, the broadcaster 41 can view the comprehensive evaluation of the broadcast later and reflect it in subsequent broadcasts. In addition, the calculated statistical data is transmitted to the second communication unit 32 to be transmitted to the user 21, so that the user 21 determines the general tendency of the broadcast of the current broadcaster 41. Helpful.

In addition, although not shown in the drawing, the statistical analysis unit 35 of the broadcast service device 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a highlight generator (not shown) to receive real-time broadcasting data from the first communication unit. Real-time broadcasting data of a section corresponding to a high evaluation score or viewer response based on the evaluation score received from the analysis evaluation unit 33 and the viewer response calculated by the statistical analysis unit 35 itself is stored in a separate storage It can be created as a record and highlight video. The generated highlight image may be transmitted to the broadcaster terminal 40 through the first communication unit 31 and may be transmitted to the user terminal 24 through the second communication unit 32 . Therefore, the broadcaster 41 or the user 21 can easily grasp important moments in the entire broadcasting. However, the criterion of real-time broadcasting data recorded in the storage to generate a highlight video is not limited to viewer response and evaluation scores, and may be other statistical data provided by the statistical analysis unit 35. As the storage, a hard disk drive (HDD), solid state device (SSD), compact flash (CF), secure digital (SD) card, etc. may be used, but is not limited thereto.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 3, a process of operating the broadcasting system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in sequence.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a service process of the broadcast service device 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the broadcasting system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention starts when a user 21 and a broadcaster 41 access a broadcast (S10). In this process, the user 21 may need to access the broadcast service device 30 using the user terminal 24 and install and execute a separate program provided by a broadcast service provider for access. In addition, the broadcaster 41 may need to access the broadcast service device 30 using the broadcaster terminal 40 and install and execute a separate program provided by the broadcast service provider for access.

In the broadcaster terminal 40, the broadcast transmission unit 44 receives the image captured by the imaging unit 451, processes it into real-time broadcasting data, and transmits the image to the first communication unit 31 of the broadcast service device 30. The real-time broadcasting data received, processed, and transmitted by the broadcast transmission unit 44 to the first communication unit 31 is not only the image taken by the imaging unit 451, but also the broadcaster wearable device 42 worn by the broadcaster 41. ) may include biometric information and location information collected by

The real-time broadcast data received by the first communication unit 31 is transmitted to the broadcast relay unit 34, and the broadcast relay unit 34 adds chatting data of users 21 to the transmitted data, or other users 21 Contents that add evaluation scores, statistical data, and viewer response determined by responses of ), add advertisements, add biometric information and location information of the broadcaster 41, add useful information, or are not suitable for broadcasting It can be inspected, screened and processed by a method such as mosaic, and then transmitted to the second communication unit 32. Accordingly, the user 21 can watch the broadcast of the broadcaster 41 and simultaneously receive other users' chatting data, evaluation scores, statistical data, and viewer response as feedback.

The second communication unit 32 transmits processed or unprocessed real-time broadcasting data to the user terminal 24 (S20), and the user terminal 24 displays the received broadcasting data through the user screen unit 23 so that the user (21) to watch the broadcast.

The user 21 will chat or change biometric information in response to the watched broadcast. The user terminal 24 collects chatting data input by the user 21 through the input unit 25, and receives biometric information and location information of the user 21 from the wearable device 22 worn by the user 21. It is collected and delivered (S30).

The user terminal 24 transmits the collected chatting data and biometric information and location information of the user 21 to the broadcast service device 30 (S40). The second communication unit 32 of the broadcast service device 30 receives the chatting data and biometric information and transfers them to the analysis evaluation unit 33 .

The analysis evaluation unit 33 analyzes and evaluates the transmitted chatting data and biometric information (S50). As a result of the evaluation, an evaluation score is calculated. More detailed information on this process will be described later in the description of FIG. 4 .

The evaluation score calculated by the analysis evaluation unit 33 is transmitted to the first communication unit 31, and the first communication unit 31 transmits the received evaluation score to the broadcaster terminal 40 (S60). In the corresponding process, the first communication unit 31 may further transmit real-time broadcasting data, chatting data, viewer response analyzed by the statistical analysis unit 35, and location information of the user 21 or other broadcasters.

The broadcaster terminal 40 intuitively transfers the user 21 reaction to the user 21 through the notification units 452 and 453 in response to the received evaluation score (S70). The broadcaster terminal 40 may display the received real-time broadcasting data and chatting data through the broadcaster screen unit 43, and the notification units 452 and 453 may further display a numerical value corresponding to the received viewer response. can

Through this process, the broadcaster 41 can intuitively grasp and feed back the information analyzed and evaluated from the viewer's chatting and biometric information through the notification units 452 and 453 of the broadcaster terminal 40. . In addition, there is an advantage in that the broadcaster 41 can compose broadcast contents relatively freely because it is possible to grasp viewers' reactions without the need to check the broadcaster screen unit 43 .

Hereinafter, the operation of the broadcast service device 30 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4 .

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which the analysis evaluation unit 33 of the broadcast service device 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention calculates an evaluation score using chat data and biometric information.

4, the chatting data received by the second communication unit 32 is transferred to the keyword extraction unit 331 of the analysis evaluation unit 33, and the keyword extraction unit 331 extracts keywords from the chatting data received. Do (S501).

The extracted keywords are again transferred to the score calculation unit 332 of the analysis evaluation unit 33, and the score calculation unit 332 uses the word database 333 to check the words corresponding to the delivered keywords (S502). .

The score calculation unit 332 checks information about what kind of emotion the corresponding keyword represents from the word database 333, digitizes it, and calculates it as a sentence evaluation (S503).

Subsequently, the score calculation unit 332 analyzes the biometric information of the user 21 received from the user terminal 24 and adds/subtracts a corresponding weight to the evaluation of the sentence (S504). The analyzed biometric information and sentence evaluation, which are combined with each other by increasing/decreasing the weight, must originate from the biometric information and chatting data transmitted from the user terminal 24 at the same time. This is because an accurate viewer response can be calculated and delivered to the broadcaster 41 only when biometric information and chatting data obtained in response to the real-time broadcasting data watched by the user 21 at that time are combined.

The score calculation unit 332 calculates an evaluation score, which is a representative value, by integrating numerical values in which weights are reflected in the sentence evaluations of all users 21 (S505). The score calculation unit 332 transmits the calculated evaluation score to the first communication unit 31, and the first communication unit 31 transmits the received evaluation score to the broadcaster terminal 40, so that the broadcast service device 30 role ends. The broadcast service device 30 relays the broadcast by continuously repeating the process shown in FIG. 4 .

Hereinafter, the configuration of the broadcaster terminal 40 connected to the broadcast service device 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5 .

5 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a broadcaster terminal 40 connected to a broadcast service device 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the broadcaster terminal 40 includes an imaging unit 451 capable of capturing images, a broadcast transmission unit 44, a broadcaster screen unit 43, and notification units 452 and 453. The imaging unit 451 and the notification units 452 and 453 may be integrally configured, and the imaging unit 451 and the broadcast transmission unit 44 may be integrally configured, but may be connected only through wired/wireless communication. In one embodiment of the present invention, the notification units 452 and 453 and the imaging unit 451 are integrally configured, but the broadcaster screen unit 43 and the broadcast transmission unit 44 are separately configured to form the notification units 452 and 453 and a broadcasting module 45 including an imaging unit 451. The broadcaster terminal 40 may be connected to a broadcaster wearable device 42 worn by the broadcaster 41 .

The broadcaster wearable device 42 must be connected to communicate with the broadcaster terminal 40 in a wired/wireless manner, and must be a device capable of such communication.

The imaging unit 451 is a device that allows the broadcaster 41 to capture an image, and may be configured as a general camera capable of capturing an image.

The broadcaster screen unit 43 serves to display chatting data, real-time broadcasting data, and the like received by the broadcast transmission unit 44 to the broadcaster 41 . Also, received keywords can be displayed in a pop-up format in the chat window.

The broadcast transmission unit 44 processes the captured image into real-time image data and transmits it to the first communication unit 31 of the broadcast service device 30 . The real-time broadcasting data received, processed, and transmitted by the broadcast transmission unit 44 to the first communication unit 31 is not only the image taken by the imaging unit 451, but also the broadcaster wearable device 42 worn by the broadcaster 41. ) may include biometric information and location information collected by

Since the broadcast transmission unit 44 is connected to the first communication unit 31, it receives evaluation scores, keywords, viewer response, biometric information, location information, etc. transmitted from the first communication unit 31 to the broadcaster terminal 40. and transmits it to the broadcaster screen unit 43. Therefore, the broadcast transmission unit 44 should be configured as a device capable of communication using a network, and the broadcaster screen unit 43 may be configured separately, but is not limited thereto and may be configured integrally. In addition, it may be a device that is easy to carry and move, such as a smartphone, tablet PC, or laptop, but is not limited thereto, and is not easy to move, such as a desktop or video wall. It may not be a device.

The notification units 452 and 453 are components that perform a function of intuitively conveying a viewer's reaction to the broadcaster 41, and may be integrally formed with the upper part to constitute the broadcasting module 45. The notification units 452 and 453 may include a light source 452 that receives the evaluation score transmitted by the broadcast transmission unit 44 from the first communication unit 31 and blinks in the form of a traffic light to notify a response. The light source 452 may be composed of a colored LED light. For example, if the evaluation score does not exceed the first reference value, the red LED is turned on, if the first reference value is exceeded, the yellow LED is turned on, and if the second reference value is exceeded, the green LED is turned on. to convey the audience's reaction. Accordingly, the broadcaster 41 can intuitively check whether the general reaction is positive or negative through the notification units 452 and 453 without reading the chatting data of the user 21 one by one. However, the blinking criterion of the light source 452 is not limited to the evaluation score, and may also be a viewer's response rate.

The notification units 452 and 453 may further include a notification screen unit 453 to further display the delivered main keyword and viewer response. Therefore, the broadcaster 41 can intuitively check how the viewers respond and what the current major keywords are through the notification screen unit 453 without checking chatting data.

In addition, the notification units 452 and 453 may further include a speaker (not shown) that reproduces a sound of applause or a sound of bread when the viewer's response level exceeds a preset reference value.
