The present invention relates to a method of inserting tags into video content, and in particular, to provide additional useful information along with the video content to users who use the video content.

According to the present invention, the tag insertion method for video content can be a series of processes performed by a system implemented in the form of an application or software (hereinafter, the terms application and software are distinguished). Instead, it is unified and named application). In other words, the tag insertion method for video content according to the present invention may also be called a tag insertion application for video content. At this time, the tag insertion method for video content according to the present invention can be performed through a series of processes by an application to independently perform the unique function according to the present invention.

Additionally, differently from this, the tag insertion method for video content according to the present invention may correspond to a function of an application that additionally provides at least one other function. Here, the types of applications that additionally provide at least one other function may vary, and may be, for example, applications that create or produce video content. Hereinafter, the tag insertion method for video content according to the present invention will be described in common without distinguishing the form in which it is applied. That is, the following description can be commonly applied regardless of whether the tag insertion method for video content according to the present invention is provided as a unique application or as a function of another application.

Below, we will look at the tag insertion system for video content according to the present invention in more detail along with the attached drawings. 1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method and system for inserting tags into video content according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example of tag insertion in a method and system for inserting tags into video content according to the present invention. am.

More specifically, the tag insertion system for video content according to the present invention is installed in the electronic device 100c in the form of an application, as shown in FIG. 1, and performs the process of inserting tags into video content. You can.

These applications may be installed on the electronic device at the request of the user on the electronic device, or may be installed and present on the electronic device at the time the electronic device is shipped. An application that implements such a tag insertion method for video content can be downloaded from an external data storage (or external server) through data communication and installed on an electronic device. . And, when an application implementing the tag insertion system for video content according to the present invention is executed on an electronic device, a series of processes for inserting tags into video content may proceed.

As seen above, the tag insertion method for video content according to the present invention is a function of not only an application that independently performs the unique function according to the present invention, but also an application that provides at least one other function, Of course, a series of processes can be performed.

The electronic device referred to in the present invention may be any electronic device capable of operating a function according to the tag insertion system for video content according to the present invention, and there is no particular limitation on its type. For example, electronic devices include mobile phones, smart phones, laptop computers, laptop computers, slate PCs, tablet PCs, and ultrabooks. , desktop computers, digital broadcasting terminals, PDAs (personal digital assistants), PMPs (portable multimedia players), navigation, wearable devices (e.g., watch-type terminals (smartwatch), glass-type terminals (smart) glass), HMD (head mounted display), etc. may be included.

Meanwhile, the tag insertion system 100a for video content according to the present invention, which can be implemented in the form of an application, includes an input unit 110, an output unit 120, a storage unit 130, and a communication unit 140. and a control unit 150. The above components are software components and can perform functions in conjunction with hardware components of the electronic device 100c.

For example, the input unit 110 includes an input unit configuration (e.g., touch screen, virtual key, physical key (or hardware button), input sensor, microphone, etc.) provided in the electronic device 100c. Through this, user input can be received. More specifically, the input unit 110 may select information content to be associated with video content in a tag editing mode for inserting tags into video content. Here, “being selected” means receiving a selection signal (or input signal, or user input) corresponding to the user's selection based on the user's selection being made through the configuration of the input unit provided in the electronic device 100c. It can mean doing.

Next, the output unit 120 may output information through an output unit (eg, display unit, touch screen, speaker, etc.) provided in the electronic device 100c.

In addition, the storage unit 130 uses at least one of the memory and external storage provided in the electronic device 100c to select information related to tags, information related to graphic objects, and information related to information content generated through the present invention. At least one, system-related information, or command (or commands) may be stored.

In the present invention, “being stored” in the storage unit 130 may mean that information is physically stored in the memory of the electronic device 100c or in external storage. Here, the external storage 100b may be a cloud-type storage.

Meanwhile, when an application having a function according to the present invention is deleted from the electronic device 100c, information stored in the storage unit 130 may also be deleted from the electronic device 100c. Meanwhile, in this case, information stored in the external storage 100b may not be deleted.

Furthermore, the communication unit 140 uses the configuration of the communication module (e.g., mobile communication module, short-range communication module, wireless Internet module, location information module, broadcast reception module, etc.) provided in the electronic device 100c, It can perform the role of transmitting and receiving information (or data) related to the present invention with at least one external device (or external server).

Meanwhile, the control unit 150 can perform overall control for carrying out the present invention using a CPU (Central Processing Unit) provided in the electronic device 100c. The components examined above can operate under the control of the control unit 150, and of course, the control unit 150 can control the physical components of the electronic device 100c.

In the present invention, the control unit 150 generates a graphic object including a tag corresponding to information content in an electronic device executing a tag editing mode, and outputs the graphic object during a specific playback section of the video content. It may play the role of inserting the graphic object into content.

In the present invention, information content is information that can be displayed (or expressed) through an electronic device, and there are no particular restrictions on the type, form, or content of the information. For example, electronic documents, web pages, images, videos, E-books, URL (Uniform Resource Locator) information, location information, shopping information, etc. can all be expressed as information content. Information content can be understood very broadly, without distinguishing between categories of information or types of information. However, information content as meant in the present invention may mean information that is accessible through wired or wireless communication, and the access path of which can be specified. Here, the access path may mean a URL. Meanwhile, in the present invention, accessible information does not include the meaning of “no special authority or security is required to access information content.”

Meanwhile, “tag” means information that represents (or represents or summarizes) “specific information content.”

Here, “specific information content” may not mean arbitrary information content, but information content specified by the user's selection (or request) or the control unit 150. Taking shopping information as an example, when you enter the search term “sneakers” through an information search site (or information search engine), the various information related to “sneakers” that is displayed can be expressed as “arbitrary information content.” You can.

And, among these arbitrary information contents, when at least one is specified by the user's selection (or request) or the control unit 150, the at least one specified information content may be expressed as “specific information content.”

In the present invention, “the information content is selected” can be understood as “the information content is specified.” Furthermore, the information content selected above may also be expressed as “specific information content.”

In the present invention, information related to specific information content can be set as a tag of the specific information content. Accordingly, a tag can be expressed as information representing (or representing, or summarizing) specific information content.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the control unit 150 can correlate tags and specific information content. In other words, tags and specific content may be matched with each other, and information related to the matching (or may also be called “matching information”) may be stored in the storage unit 130.

Additionally, when a tag is inserted into video content, information related to the matching may be included in the video content. That is, when inserting a tag into video content, the control unit 150 can include information related to the matching in the video content.

In the present invention, “a tag and specific information content are interrelated” may mean that access to specific information content is possible through a tag. In this case, the tag may also be expressed as “information on the access path to the specific information content is linked.”

The control unit 150 may include information about the access path to the specific information content discussed above in the matching information. As a result, after the tag is inserted into the video content, when the tag inserted into the video content is selected by the user, the electronic device playing the video content generates the specific information content based on the matching information included in the video content. You can access it with As discussed above, the information on the access path is information accessible from an electronic device through a wired or wireless communication method and may include URL information.

Furthermore, the tag is not necessarily composed of text (see image 221 in (a) of FIG. 2: “Nice running shoes”), but may also be composed of an image (see image 222 of (a) of FIG. 2). Here, the image is a concept that includes both static images and dynamic images (or moving images).

In this way, a tag consisting of text or an image can be expressed as “a tag consisting of visual information.” In addition, of course, tags can be made up of auditory information or tactile information.

As seen above, tags can be classified into tags made of visual information, tags made of auditory information, or tags made of tactile information, depending on the form in which the information is output. In the present invention, we will look in more detail at how to insert tags consisting of visual information into video content.

Meanwhile, a tag is information that is related to specific information content, and may include at least part of the specific information content, or may be composed of information that represents or can mean the specific information content.

In the present invention, the control unit 150 can set at least part of the specific information content as a tag of the specific information content. At this time, at least some of the information may consist of at least one of text and images.

The control unit 150 may extract at least some of the information included in specific information content and set the extracted information as a tag associated with the specific information content. At this time, what information is to be extracted may be based on a preset standard or a preset algorithm. Additionally, the control unit 150 may receive information corresponding to a tag to be associated with specific information content from the user. Additionally, information input from the user can be set as a tag for the specific information content.

The tags examined above can be inserted into video content through tag editing mode. Here, the tag editing mode is a mode for inserting tags into video content, and execution of the tag editing mode can be based on the user's selection.

At this time, the tag editing mode may be executed based on the application providing the function according to the present invention being executed.

As an example, if the application that provides the function according to the present invention is an application that uniquely performs only the function according to the present invention, execution of the application may mean that the tag editing mode has been executed.

As another example, if the application that provides the function according to the present invention is an application that additionally provides other functions in addition to the function according to the present invention, execution of the application does not mean that the tag editing mode has been executed. You can. That is, in this case, the tag editing mode can be executed only when the function according to the present invention is selected in the application providing the additional function. Selection of these functions may be based on the user's selection. In an application that provides the additional function, there may be a function icon or menu to which the function according to the present invention is linked (or related). The control unit 150 may execute the tag editing mode based on the user's selection through the function icon or menu.

Meanwhile, since there may be various application examples for the method of executing the tag edit mode in addition to the examples discussed above, in the present invention, no special restrictions are placed on the method of executing the tag edit mode.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, inserting a tag means associating a tag with video content, and more specifically, performing visual processing to enable the user to recognize a tag representing (or representing) information content. It can mean something. At this time, visual processing may mean graphic processing that causes a graphic object including a tag (see (a) 220 of FIG. 2) to appear in at least one playback section of video content. Therefore, in the present invention, “inserting a tag into video content” can also be expressed as “inserting a graphic object including a tag into video content”, and both expressions have the same technical meaning.

Meanwhile, the graphic object 220 may be understood as an image including tags 221 and 222, as shown in (a) of FIG. 2. In the present invention, a tag refers to the data itself representing specific information content, and the visualization of the data can be expressed as a “graphic object 220.”

In the present invention, selecting a tag may mean that the graphic object 220 is selected on the electronic device 100c, as shown in (a) of FIG. 2. Conversely, in the present invention, selecting the graphic object 220 may mean that the tag represented through the graphic object 200 is selected. Accordingly, in this specification, there is no strict distinction between the selected objects and they are used interchangeably.

Meanwhile, in the previous explanation, we saw that tags and specific information content are matched to each other. According to the present invention, matching a tag and specific information content can be interpreted as the same as matching a graphic object and specific information content.

Likewise, “a tag and specific information content are interrelated” can also be understood as “a graphic object and information content are interrelated.” Therefore, in the present invention, access to specific information content may be possible through a graphic object. In this case, the graphic object may also be expressed as “information on the access path to specific information content is linked.”

Therefore, as shown in (a) of FIG. 2, when the graphic object 220 inserted as a tag is selected, the information content 230 matched to the tag as shown in (b) of FIG. 2 At least part of may be output.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the graphic object 220 not only includes the tag itself, but may also be composed of various visual elements (e.g., elements related to shape, color, size, etc.), which will be described later. Let’s look at it in detail.

Below, based on the content discussed above, we will look in more detail at how to insert tags into video content along with drawings. FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the tag insertion method for video content in the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the tag insertion method for video content seen in FIG. 3. FIGS. 5A, 5B, 5C, 6A, 6B, and 7 are conceptual diagrams to explain a method of inserting a tag into video content and a method of inserting a graphic object corresponding to a tag in a system according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, the tag insertion method for video content according to the present invention, which is explained with the drawings, assumes that an application (or software) implementing a tag insertion system for video content is running on the electronic device 100c. It can be understood. Accordingly, the screens output on the electronic device 100c to perform the present invention are screens provided through an application, and in the present invention, these screens may be called “execution screens.”

First, according to the tag insertion method for video content according to the present invention, a process of executing the tag editing mode for video content is performed (S310, see FIG. 3).

The tag editing mode may be executed on the electronic device 100c. Furthermore, as discussed above, the tag editing mode is a mode for inserting tags into video content, and can be executed based on the user's selection.

As an example, when the application that provides the function according to the present invention is an application that uniquely performs only the function according to the present invention, the tag edit mode is selected based on the icon corresponding to the application being selected on the screen of the electronic device. can be executed.

As another example, if the application providing the function according to the present invention is an application that additionally provides other functions in addition to the function according to the present invention, the function according to the present invention is selected from the application providing the additional function. Based on this, the tag editing mode can be executed. Selection of these functions may be based on the user's selection.

For example, an application that provides the additional function may be an application that produces (or generates) video content. In this case, the function according to the present invention can be installed as a function that can be used to produce video content. At this time, the control unit 150 can perform both control for producing video content and control for inserting tags into video content.

Looking more specifically, in the application for producing (or generating) the video content, as shown in (a) of FIG. 4, a function icon 410 or menu to which the function according to the present invention is linked (or associated) It can exist. The tag editing mode may be executed based on a tag insertion request event occurring in the content editing mode for editing the video content. When the function icon 410 is selected in the electronic device 100c, the control unit 150 may determine that a tag insertion request event has occurred. And, the control unit 150 may execute the tag edit mode based on this tag insertion request event. Meanwhile, the access path to the function icon 410 may be very diverse and is not limited to this drawing.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 4, in the content editing mode, a content editing execution screen is output on the display unit of the electronic device 100c, and in one area of the content editing execution screen, the video content is displayed. At least one function icon related to editing may be output. Additionally, the tag insertion request event may be generated when any one function icon 410 linked to an execution function of the tag edit mode among the at least one function icon is selected.

Meanwhile, in this drawing, only an example of executing the tag editing mode according to this function is explained, and the present invention is not limited to the above example. The steps after the tag editing mode is executed can be commonly applied regardless of whether the function according to the present invention is provided as a unique application or as a function of an application that provides additional functions.

Meanwhile, the tag editing mode according to the present invention is for inserting tags into video content. In order to perform tag editing in the present invention, video content into which tags are to be inserted must be specified. At this time, step S310 may include a process of specifying video content. That is, step S310 may further include a step of selecting an image constituting video content. In this way, specification of video content can be made based on at least one video being selected by the user. The control unit 150 may generate video content using at least one image selected by the user. Then, such video content can be specified as video content subject to tag editing. In this way, the video content subject to tag editing may be video content corresponding to the video selected by the user.

Here, the image selected by the user may be at least one of a static image or a dynamic image (or video). At this time, if the image selected by the user is a static image, the video content may include a video generated using the static image. If the image selected by the user is a static image, the control unit 150 may generate a dynamic image (or video) with a preset playback time using the static image. Additionally, the control unit 150 may insert tags into the generated dynamic image. At this time, the control unit 150 may generate a dynamic image having the preset playback time by copying or duplicating at least a portion of the static image to generate a plurality of frames. In this way, the tag insertion method for video content according to the present invention can perform tag insertion regardless of the type of video selected by the user.

As seen above, the video content subject to tag insertion in the present invention may consist of one or multiple videos. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, video content may consist of a plurality of videos 610, 620, and 630. Classification of the plurality of videos can be made based on whether the plurality of videos existed as one video file or as separate video files before the video content was created. As such, in the present invention, a tag editing mode for inserting a tag into at least one section of video content including one or multiple videos can be executed.

Meanwhile, execution of the tag editing mode can be performed after video content into which a tag is to be inserted is specified. In contrast, execution of the tag editing mode may be executed before video content is specified. In this case, video content can be selected after tag editing mode is executed. Furthermore, when a plurality of images are selected as video content, the control unit 150 may perform image processing to synthesize the plurality of selected images into one video content.

As seen in step S310, when video content is specified and the tag editing mode is executed, in the present invention, a process of receiving a selection signal for information content to be associated with the video content is performed (S320). In other words, in the electronic device 100c in which the tag editing mode is executed, a process of selecting information content to be associated with the video content is performed.

As discussed above, information content is information that can be displayed (or expressed) through electronic devices, and there are no particular restrictions on the type, form, or content of the information. For example, electronic documents, web pages, images, videos, E-books, URL (Uniform Resource Locator) information, location information, shopping information, etc. can all be expressed as information content.

In the present invention, the control unit 150 can provide a user environment that allows the user to select information content. Through this execution screen 420 (see FIG. 4) according to the user environment, the control unit 150 can select or receive information content from the user.

Here, “receiving information content selected” means selecting at least one of the information content available through an electronic device as information to be inserted as a tag in the video content. In this case, the information content may exist and be stored in at least one storage (a concept that includes both electronic devices and external storage).

In addition, “receiving information content” means that the source of information content is based on the user’s input, for example, information such as a memo or URL address is input from the user through the electronic device 100c. do. In this case, the information content may be the information itself entered by the user.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, “specifying the information content by the method of selection” is expressed as “selecting the information content by the first method,” and “specifying the information content by the method of input” is expressed as “the second method.” It can be expressed as “selecting information content.”

Meanwhile, whether to select information content using the first method or the second method may be based on the user's selection. The control unit 150 may provide different information content selection screens according to the first method or the second method.

When information content is selected in the first method, the control unit 150 may search for information content and provide a user environment for selecting at least one of the searched information as information content. Alternatively, when information content is selected in the second method, the control unit 150 may provide a user environment for inputting information content.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the execution screen 420 for selecting information content can be configured as shown in (b) of FIG. 4.

As shown in (b) of FIG. 4, the control unit 150 may display a plurality of category items each corresponding to different information categories on the execution screen 420. Like cities, multiple category items may correspond to different information categories, such as places, shopping, links, books, movies, news, travel, etc. In the present invention, when a user selects information content, for convenience of selection, a category of information can be selected first in the process of selecting the information content.

At this time, a method for selecting information may be preset in each category. That is, for each category, it may be preset whether information corresponding to each category will be selected through the first method or the second method, which was discussed above.

For example, the category corresponding to the “place” item may be set to specify information content in the first method, “selection method,” as shown in FIG. 8A. In this case, the control unit 150 may provide an execution screen (see (b) of FIG. 8A) for searching information related to the place based on the selection of the “place” item. And, through this execution screen, the user can search for a specific place and select at least one of the searched information as information content. The information selected in this way can be specified as information content.

As another example, the category corresponding to the “link” item may be set to specify information content in the second method, “input method,” as shown in FIG. 9. In this case, the control unit 150 may provide an execution screen (see (b) of FIG. 9) to receive information from the user. In this way, in the present invention, information content can be selected in either the first or second manner.

Meanwhile, the control unit 150 provides a user environment in which information content can be selected in a manner corresponding to the selected category when one of a plurality of categories is selected, and the information provided through the user environment is It can be limited to information that corresponds to the category.

In other words, the control unit 150, as shown in (b) of FIG. 4, selects the item 421 corresponding to the first category (e.g., “shopping” category) in which information content is set to be selected in the first manner. ) is selected, an execution screen (or search screen, 430) for searching shopping information can be provided, as shown in (c) of FIG. 4. In addition, when a search word (or information) for information search is input through the execution screen 430 (for example, “nice”), the control unit 150 can search for shopping information related to the search word. . That is, in this case, the control unit 150 may output only shopping information as a search result even if other types of information (e.g., dictionary information, person information, etc.) related to the search term exist.

That is, when a search word is entered through the execution screen 430, the control unit 150 can recognize the search word as information for searching a product. Additionally, information related to product sales corresponding to the entered search term can be searched as information content.

In this way, if a search word (e.g., “nice”) for searching information content is additionally entered after a category is selected, the control unit 150 controls the additionally inputted information (e.g., For example, it is possible to search for information corresponding to the primarily selected category while corresponding to a search term). That is, when one of different information categories is selected by the user, the control unit 150 may provide information content corresponding to the selected category.

In this way, when information content is searched, the control unit 150 can select at least one of the searched information content (see 431 in (c) of FIG. 4). Selection of information content may be made by selecting one item 431 among items corresponding to each information content, as shown in the figure. Selecting the item 431 may mean selecting a web page or electronic document page linked to the item 431. For example, based on the item 431 being selected, the control unit 150 specifies a product sales page (for example, a “nice running shoes” product sales page) corresponding to the item 431 as information content. can do. At this time, the selection may be made by the user through the electronic device 100c, and the control unit 150 may receive a selection signal according to the user's selection.

In this way, when at least one information content is specified based on the user's selection, a process of generating a graphic object including a tag corresponding to the specified information content proceeds (S330).

In order to create a graphic object including a tag, the control unit 150 may create a tag related to specified information content. As seen above, “tag” refers to information that represents (or represents or summarizes) “specific information content.”

The control unit 150 can extract at least some of the information included in specific information content and set it as a tag. For example, the control unit 150 may extract at least part of the information content corresponding to the item 431 selected in (c) of FIG. 4. The control unit 150 may extract at least one of text or images from information content. For example, the control unit 150 may extract at least one of the text “Nice Running Shoes” and an image from information content. And, using the extracted information, a tag can be created (or set).

When text is extracted, the control unit 150 can set the extracted text itself as a tag. In addition, when an image is extracted, the control unit 150 can set the extracted image itself as a tag of the specific information content, and differently, a thumbnail image (442 in FIG. 4 (d)) for the extracted image. Reference) can be created and a thumbnail image can be set as a tag for the specific information content.

In this way, when a tag is created (or set), the control unit 150 can correlate the tag with specific information content. Here, “correlate” may mean matching each other. The relationship between tags and information content will be replaced with the explanation seen above with FIGS. 1 and 2.

Meanwhile, what information is to be extracted from the information content as information for setting a tag may be based on a preset standard or a preset algorithm. Additionally, the control unit 150 may receive information corresponding to a tag to be associated with specific information content from the user. Additionally, information input from the user can be set as a tag for the specific information content.

In this way, when the setting (or creation) of the tag is completed, the control unit 150 creates a graphic object ((d) of FIG. 4, 420) including the tag (see (d), 441, and 442 of FIG. 4). can do. When the graphic object 420 is selected, the control unit 150 may link the specific information content to the graphic object 420 (or the tag) so that the specific information content can be output. Here, “linking the specific information content to the graphic object” may mean linking link information corresponding to an access path to the specific information content to the graphic object.

Meanwhile, the description of the interrelationship between information content, tags, and graphic objects will also be replaced with the description previously discussed with FIGS. 1 and 2.

As shown in (d) of FIG. 4, the graphic object 420 not only includes the tags themselves 441 and 442, but also includes various visual elements (e.g., elements related to shape, color, size, etc. ) can be composed of. The control unit 150 creates a graphic object with a preset size, shape, and color, and this graphic object may include tags 441 and 442.

The control unit 150 may set at least one of the size, shape, and color of the graphic object differently depending on the category of information content.

In the present invention, different color information may be matched to each of a plurality of category items. Information (or matching information) related to such matching may be stored in the storage unit 130. Based on this matching information, the control unit 150 may set the background color (or color) of the graphic object to a color that matches the category to which the specific information content belongs. That is, the control unit 150 may set the background color of the graphic object including the tag of the specific information content based on the color information matched to the category item to which the specific information content belongs among the different color information. Therefore, in the case of information content of different categories, the color of the graphic object may also be different. In this way, when the background color is different for each category, the user can easily recognize what type of information is tagged just by color.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, at least one of the size, shape, and color of a graphic object can be changed based on the user's selection. For example, as shown in (a) and (b) of FIGS. 7, the control unit 150 may provide an interface (e.g., selection area 710) for setting the color of a graphic object. . And, when an item (e.g., 711 (a) 711 in FIG. 7 or 712 (b) 712 in FIG. 7) is selected by the user through the selection area 710, the control unit 150 responds to the selected item. The background color of the graphic object can be changed to the desired color (for example, see the graphic object 720 shown in (a) of FIG. 7 or the graphic object 730 shown in (b) of FIG. 7).

Meanwhile, when the background color of a graphic object is changed based on the user's selection, the control unit 150 may set the background color of the newly created graphic object to the color selected by the user after the change. This is to reflect the user's preferred color. At this time, the control unit 150 does not set the background color of all newly created graphic objects to the selected color, but creates a new graphic object only when a graphic object that is related to the graphic object whose background color has been changed is newly created. The background color of the graphic object can be set to the selected color.

At this time, the graphic object (hereinafter referred to as “second graphic object”) related to the graphic object (hereinafter referred to as “first graphic object”) whose background color has been changed is based on the category of information content. can be decided. That is, the control unit 150 sets the background color of the category of information content (or specific information content) linked to the first graphic object and the background color of the second graphic object to which information content belonging to the same category is linked to the selected color. You can set it.

Meanwhile, as seen above, when a graphic object including a tag is created, a process of inserting the graphic object into the video content is performed so that the graphic object is output during a specific playback section of the video content (S340).

As shown in (d) of FIG. 4, a graphic object 440 including tags 441 and 442 may be inserted into video content.

The control unit 150 may perform graphics processing to overlap the graphic object 440 with at least one frame corresponding to the specific playback section among a plurality of frames included in video content.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5A, video content consists of a plurality of frames, and the control unit 150 selects at least one frame (T1) included in a specific playback section (T1) among the plurality of frames. The graphic object 520 can overlap with numbers 511, 512, 513, 514, and 515. Meanwhile, the frames that make up video content may also be called images.

In the present invention, saying that the graphic object 520 overlaps the video content (or frame) may mean that graphics processing to synthesize the graphic object 520 into the video content (or frame) is performed.

Meanwhile, at least one frame in which the graphic object is inserted is a start frame 511 where output of the graphic object begins in the video content and is continuous with the start frame 511, and at least one frame included in the specific playback section It may consist of one related frame (512, 513, 514, and 515). The start frame 511 and at least one related frame 512, 513, 514, and 515 correspond to frames played during the specific playback period.

The control unit 150 may not overlap graphic objects for frames 516 and 517 that fall outside a specific playback section. This specific playback section can be set or changed under the user's selection or control of the controller.

Meanwhile, the control unit 150 is configured to insert the graphic object into a preset first position of the start frame. Here, the first location may also be expressed as a preset location. The preset location may be a default location (or a default location) on the system.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 5C, the preset first position may be a position corresponding to the first coordinates (x1, x2). In the present invention, coordinates may mean absolute coordinates for a frame. The graphic object 520 may be output at a first position according to the first coordinates (x1, x2) in the start frame and the associated frame. Furthermore, as shown in (a) of FIG. 5C, the control unit 150 displays the graphic object 520 inserted into the first position of the start frame through a touch input through the electronic device 100c. When moving to a second position different from the first position (for example, the second coordinates (x2, y2) shown in (b) of FIG. 5C), the insertion position of the graphic object 520 on the start frame is It can be corrected to the second position according to the second coordinates (x2, y2). At this time, the control unit 150 may change the insertion position of the graphic object 520 in the related frame in conjunction with the change in the insertion position of the graphic object 520 on the start frame. The control unit 150 may insert the graphic object 520 into the second position of the related frame so that the output position of the graphic object 520 in the related frame is the same as the output position in the start frame. there is.

In the above description, a case where the insertion position of a graphic object is changed in the start frame has been discussed, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, when the insertion position of the graphic object is changed in any one of the start frame and the related frame, the control unit 150 may change the insertion position of the graphic object for the remaining frames.

Next, looking at the “specific playback section” where the graphic object is output, the specific playback section is: i) the start time of the video content from which playback point the graphic object will be output, and ii) how long from the start point. It can be specified by the output maintenance time as to whether to maintain the output of the graphic object during the playback time.

At least one frame included in a specific playback section is: i) a start frame corresponding to the start point among a plurality of frames constituting the video content and at least one related frame included between the start point and the output maintenance time It can be composed of .

Meanwhile, at least one of the start point and output maintenance time discussed above can be changed or set based on the user's selection.

First, looking at the case where the start time is specified, the control unit 150 can specify the start time at which the output of the graphic object begins based on the time when the tag insertion request event described above occurs. More specifically, the control unit 150 selects a frame that was being output from the electronic device 100c at the time a tag insertion request event occurred among a plurality of frames constituting the video content ((a) in Figures 4 and 5). 511) can be set as the starting frame. Additionally, the control unit 150 may set the playback time of the start frame within the video content as the start time of a specific playback section. Meanwhile, in the present invention, in addition to the methods discussed above, the start point and start frame can be set or selected in various ways.

Next, looking at a method of setting a specific playback section, the control unit 150 can set a preset time from the start point as a specific playback section.

At this time, the preset time may be a time set as default (or a time set as default) on the system.

For example, as seen above, when a static image selected by the user is converted to a video with a preset playback time, the control unit 150 generates a graphic object for the converted video during the preset playback time. can be inserted. At this time, the specific playback section may correspond to the preset playback time.

Alternatively, the control unit 150 may receive time information for setting a specific playback section selected from the user from the start point.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, the control unit 150 may provide an interface (eg, setting area 530) for setting a specific playback section.

A specific playback section can be specified by selecting a “playback maintenance time”. When an item (for example, item 533 in FIG. 5b(a) or item 531 in FIG. 5b(b)) is selected by the user through the selection area 530, the control unit 150 selects the selected item. The corresponding time can be set as the playback section (or output maintenance time) in which the graphic object is output. At this time, the specific playback section in which the graphic object is output may be a playback section corresponding to the start time corresponding to the start frame to the selected playback maintenance time (for example, 3 seconds).

More specifically, as shown in (b) of FIG. 5B, when the item 531 corresponding to “seconds” is selected, the control unit 150 selects the playback section corresponding to 3 seconds from the pre-specified start time. A graphic object 520 can be inserted into the included frames. That is, the control unit 150 displays a graphic object 520 in at least one frame (or related frame) included in the start frame corresponding to the predetermined start point and the playback section corresponding to the 3 seconds among the video content. can be inserted.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the control unit 150 can insert graphic objects on a video basis. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, video content may consist of a plurality of videos 610, 620, and 630. Classification of the plurality of videos can be made based on whether the plurality of videos existed as one video file or as separate video files before the video content was created.

As discussed above, the control unit 150 may insert the graphic object 611a only for a specific video 610 including a pre-specified start frame 611 among a plurality of videos. If the remaining playback time of the specific video 610 starting from the predetermined start frame 611 is shorter than the selected playback time (for example, 3 seconds), the controller 150 sets the remaining playback time to The graphic object 611 can be inserted only for the frames corresponding to .

Therefore, according to the present invention, when video content is played, the graphic object 611a may be output (or appear) only for the specific playback section of the specific video 610. Also, when a video 620 different from the specific video 610 is played in the video content, the graphic object 611a may disappear from the electronic device 100c. Here, the fact that the graphic object 611a disappears from the electronic device 100c means that it is no longer output to the electronic device 100c.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, even if the start point at which the output of the graphic object begins is already specified, it can be changed. The control unit 150 can set both the start point at which the output of the graphic object begins and the output maintenance time based on the user's selection through the interface shown in FIG. 5B.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the control unit 150 can insert the graphic object 520 into all of the plurality of frames included in the video content.

For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 5B, when the item 533 corresponding to “entire clip” is selected, the control unit 150 controls graphics for all of the plurality of frames included in the video content. Object 520 can be inserted.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the video content consists of a plurality of videos 610, 620, and 630, the control unit 150 selects the specific video content described above among the plurality of videos 610, 620, and 630. The graphic object 611a can be inserted only for all frames constituting the specific video 610 including the start frame 611. In other words, the related frames discussed above may be limited to frames constituting the specific video 610.

As such, the “entire clip” seen in (a) of FIG. 5B may not be the entire video content, but may be one of the plurality of videos 610, 620, and 630 that make up the video content.

For example, looking at FIG. 6B, it can be seen that the video content includes first, second, and third videos 610, 620, and 630, and graphic objects 611a and 621a are inserted in each video unit. For example, in the first video, a graphic object (611a) is inserted for all frames constituting the first video, and in the second video, some frames (621, 622, 623, 624) included in a specific playback section ) The graphic object 612a is inserted only for ). And, in the third video, no graphic object is inserted. As such, in the present invention, graphic objects can be inserted into individual video units constituting video content.

Meanwhile, according to the present invention, when a tag insertion request corresponding to the same information content is received for a plurality of videos constituting video content, the same graphic object can of course be inserted into the plurality of videos.

Furthermore, in the above embodiments, we have looked at examples of inserting one graphic object into one video, but in the present invention, it is also possible to insert multiple graphic objects into one video based on the user's request. do. In this case, the output location, output time, playback time, etc. of the graphic object can all be changed or set in various ways based on the user's selection.

As seen above, the tag insertion method and system for video content according to the present invention adds a graphic object including a tag associated with information content to a plurality of frames constituting the video content, while the video content is played, Additional information may be provided. At this time, the information content may be information selected by the user creating the video content, and through this, the user can more intuitively convey the information desired to be provided along with the video content to a third party.

Additionally, in the present invention, by setting a specific playback section that includes a graphic object among the playback sections of video content based on the user's selection, the timing at which additional information is provided can be adjusted according to the user's intention. This allows the user to add information content to relate to the portion being played. Furthermore, third parties (or users) who use video content produced in this way can be provided with information content related to the playback portion of the video content, thereby reducing the effort to separately search for information content.

Meanwhile, in the previous explanation, we looked at how to select information content in step S320. Below, the process of selecting or inputting information content will be looked at in more detail along with the attached drawings. FIGS. 8A, 8B, 8C, and 9 are conceptual diagrams for explaining a method of inserting tags into video content and a method of selecting information content to be inserted as a tag in the system according to the present invention.

In the present invention, “receiving information content” means selecting at least one of the information content available through an electronic device as information to be inserted as a tag into video content.

In the present invention, “specifying the information content by the method of selection” is expressed as “selecting the information content by the first method,” and “specifying the information content by the method of input” is expressed by “the information content by the second method.” It can be expressed as “select.”

As discussed above, whether to select information content using the first method or the second method may be based on the user's selection. The control unit 150 may provide different information content selection screens according to the first method or the second method.

When information content is selected in the first method, the control unit 150 may search for information content and provide a user environment for selecting at least one of the searched information as information content. Alternatively, when information content is selected in the second method, the control unit 150 may provide a user environment for inputting information content.

Furthermore, in the present invention, when selecting information content, the user can primarily select an information category in the process of selecting information content for convenience of selection.

At this time, a method for selecting information may be preset in each category. That is, for each category, it may be preset whether information corresponding to each category will be selected through the first method or the second method, which was discussed above.

For example, as in the first method, categories for selecting information content by way of search include places, shopping, books, movies, news, information in a search engine (search portal site), and SNS (social network service). It may be a category related to searching for information posted on the web, searching for information posted on the web in connection with the user's account, etc.

Next, like the second method, the category for selecting information content by user input may be a category related to input such as URL, external link, question, vote, weather, date, etc.

When information content is selected in the first method, the control unit 150 may search for information content and provide a user environment for selecting at least one of the searched information as information content.

The control unit 150 may display a plurality of category items corresponding to different information categories on the electronic device and select one of the plurality of category items. Additionally, a search screen for searching information content corresponding to one of the category items may be displayed on the electronic device. In addition, when search information (or search word) is entered through the search screen, the control unit 150 may search for information content corresponding to the category corresponding to one of the category items and related to the search information. . And, when one of the searched information contents is selected, the control unit 150 may insert a graphic object including a tag corresponding to the one information content into the video content.

For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 8A, when the “place” item 811 is selected, the control unit 150 displays an execution screen ((b) of FIG. 8A for searching information related to the place. ) reference) can be output to the electronic device 100c. At this time, information 813 related to the current location of the electronic device 100c (for example, “To XX, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do”) may be displayed on the execution screen. The control unit 150 may collect the current location information of the electronic device 100c using a location information collection module provided in the electronic device 100c and output the collected information to the electronic device 100c.

Meanwhile, although not shown, when the “Location” item 811 is selected, the control unit 150 adds an item corresponding to the location information included in the video content on the execution screen for searching information related to the location. It can be displayed.

At this time, the location information included in the video content may be existing information as meta data of the video content. At this time, the location information may be the location where the video content was actually filmed or may be information collected by the electronic device that filmed the video content.

Meanwhile, the control unit 150 receives a search term (or search information) through the execution screen 820, as shown in (c) of FIG. 8A, and inputs a search term (or search information) as shown in (a) of FIG. 8B, You can search for place-related information content corresponding to search information (for example, “Jeongja-dong Park View”). When displaying searched information content, the control unit 150 may use the current location information of the electronic device. The control unit 150 may display the searched place-related information content in the order closest to the current location of the electronic device. At this time, the information content (or location-related information content) may be output as items corresponding to the information content, rather than the information content itself. That is, information content can be output in a list format.

Meanwhile, although not shown, the control unit 150 may apply various criteria when sorting items corresponding to place-related information content.

That is, as seen above, the control unit 150 not only displays the searched place-related information content in the order closest to the current location of the electronic device, but also displays the place-related information based on the place selection history information of the electronic device. Content can be sorted.

At this time, “sorting the place-related information content” may mean sorting items corresponding to the place-related information content.

Meanwhile, location selection history information is history information about a location that has been selected on the electronic device, and the control unit 150 can collect history information about the location (or location information) every time it is selected on the electronic device. there is. Here, the place (or place information) selected by the electronic device may also include the place (or place information) searched by the electronic device.

More specifically, the location selection history information includes at least one of location information (or recent location information) most recently selected in the electronic device and selection number information (or location selection number information) for the location selected in the electronic device. can do.

Here, the control unit 150 may perform counting of the number of selections for the selected location each time a specific location is selected in the electronic device. Accordingly, the control unit 150 may retain history information about how many times the selected location has been selected on the electronic device.

In this way, when outputting the place-related information content, the control unit 150 may include elements that the user may be interested in, such as the place closest to the user, the place most recently searched or selected by the user, You can prioritize the most searched or selected places.

Meanwhile, when displaying location-related information content, the control unit 150 displays any one of the current location information of the electronic device, information on the most recently selected location in the electronic device, and information on the number of times the location has been selected in the electronic device. You can consider it, or at least two.

For example, the control unit 150 provides location information-related content by prioritizing the current location information of the electronic device, the location information most recently selected by the electronic device, and the selection count information for the location selected by the electronic device. It can be displayed.

For example, the control unit 150 may consider the current location information of the electronic device first, but if there are multiple places at the same distance, the control unit 150 may consider the location information most recently selected by the electronic device as the next best option. there is.

Furthermore, as shown in (a) of FIG. 8B, when one item 831 among the items corresponding to the searched information content is selected, the control unit 150 inserts a tag for the pre-specified video content. can do. At this time, the inserted tag may be, in other words, a graphic object including the tag. That is, as shown in (b) of FIG. 8B, the control unit 150 generates a tag related to information content corresponding to one of the items 831, and creates a graphic object 850 including the generated tag. can be inserted into the video content 840.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, when a search is performed according to an entered search word, as shown in FIG. 8C, the information content corresponding to the search result is not displayed all, but can be displayed as an item corresponding to each information content. . These items can be output in list format, such as cities. At this time, the control unit 150 may output a function icon 870 for each item. When the function icon 870 is selected, the control unit 150 selects an item (e.g., “Todai Bundang Branch” information) including the selected function icon 870, as shown in (b) of FIG. 8C. Information content 880 linked to a content item) may be output. In other words, the control unit 150 can guide the user to select the correct information content by providing a user environment in which information content can be directly accessed from the list.

Next, when information content is selected in the second method, the control unit 150 may provide a user environment for inputting information content. For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 9, when the “link” item 911 is selected, the control unit 150 performs a function to receive link information as shown in (b) of FIG. 9. The execution screen can be printed. At this time, the execution screen may include a link information input area 920. The link information input area 920 may output information input by the user, as shown in (c) of FIG. 9 . Information can be input from the user through the electronic device 100c, and can also be input through the virtual keyboard 930 as shown.

In this way, when information is input from the user, the control unit 150 can specify the information input from the user as information content. As shown in (d) of FIG. 9, the control unit 150 generates tags from at least some of the information input from the user and inserts a graphic object 960 including the generated tags into the video content 950. can do. Meanwhile, when information is input from the user, the control unit 150 may process the input information as information corresponding to the selected category. For example, when the “Link” item is selected, the entered information can be processed as link information.

As shown in b), information content 1040 linked to a graphic object may be output. At this time, the control unit of the electronic device 100c may change the playback screen of the video content to an information content output screen. In this case, the control unit may output video content 1050 to at least one area of the information content output screen. This video content 1050 may be output through a pop-up window.

Furthermore, when video content created through the present invention is played on an electronic device, at least one function icon related to the video content may be output in one area of the electronic device, as shown in (a) of FIG. 11. there is. The at least one function icon may be output while video content is being played on an electronic device, or while playback is stopped.

Meanwhile, when any one function icon 1120 for outputting information content related to the video content among the at least one function icon is selected, in the electronic device, as shown in (b) of FIG. 11, the video content An information list including items 1130, 1140, and 1150 corresponding to all information content related to the content may be displayed. In the present invention, this function may be named “View All” or “View All” function, etc.

In this way, when one of the items 1130, 1140, and 1150 corresponding to the information content is selected, the electronic device displays the selected item 1150 as shown in (c) of FIG. 11. Corresponding information content 1160 may be output. Accordingly, a user using video content created through the present invention can more easily identify information content tagged in relation to video content at any time. In this way, the present invention can induce intuitive entry into information content tagged in video content.

As seen above, in the present invention, when a graphic object included in video content is selected, by providing information content linked to a tag included in the graphic object, a third party (or user) using the video content can: You can access information content at any time while using video content. At this time, in the present invention, by providing a user environment that allows video content to be continuously played in one area of the electronic device even if information about information content is output, a third party (or user) using video content can continuously play video content. You can continue to use the content.
