Description

Web based content ordering system and method using object based content editor {WEB BASED CONTENTS CUSTUMIZING SYSTEM USING OBJECT ORIENTED CONTENTS EDITOR AND METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a method and system for customizing content utilizing an object-based content editor, and more particularly, to a method and system for customizing object-based content operated on a World Wide Web (WWW). will be.

Recently, UCC (User Created Contents), a kind of Internet content, is in the spotlight. UCC is a term that refers to user-generated content, and broadly includes all kinds of posts posted to Internet cafes, blogs, and mini homepages, but UCC, which is currently attracting attention, is more of a creation such as Flash animation than text or video. It is regarded as the most suitable content type in the 'Web 2.0' era in which 'user-centered' is the basic.

Such a UCC is characterized by the fact that the user of the service is an information provider, a processor, and a carrier who carries the information to the whole world. In other words, in a Web 2.0-based platform, UCC site operators only need to provide a platform where customers can upload their information freely, and operators don't have to produce all the information like the current online portal site (such as Naver).

In reality, however, users of the UCC site remained only as viewers of the content and were passive in UCC creation. In other words, the main class that creates the UCC is limited to a small number of enthusiasts. The reason is, firstly, that conventional UCC manufacturing tools are not only expensive, but also require considerable knowledge for the smooth use of the production tools. The second reason is that there is no return or lack of return to UCC creators.

Next, from the perspective of the content production client, the content production client is producing a variety of web-based UCC contents (for example, banner content, etc.) to promote their products or services. There are limits to the production. In order to solve this problem, there is a case in which a third party, such as a professional content producer, is requested to produce content, but there is a problem that a lot of costs are paid to the producer. In addition, there were many disadvantages in terms of the variety of contents because there was no limit to referral to various producers within the limited content budget. In other words, there is a need for a content production client to find a way to secure various contents at a lower cost.

In general, a content production client wants to produce content using an object (content logo requester's logo, image, phrase, video, etc.) to be promoted by the content production client. As such, in order to produce content including a specific content object, an object-based multimedia content production apparatus capable of editing an object appearing in the multimedia as an object is required, but does not own such an object-based content editor individually. Since most users are users, there is also a need for users to be able to access web-based and use these object-based editors.

In conclusion, it is necessary to find a way to connect content creators and content producers to each other so that content creators can activate object-based content creation using media objects provided by content creators.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems, and the technical task of enabling the content site users to activate the object-based content creation by giving a predetermined price to the content creation.

In addition, the present invention is a technical problem that allows the content production requestor to be variously and smoothly supplied to the object-based content produced by including the media object to be promoted.

One aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object, the web-based content using the object-based media object connected to the content production client 50, the content creator 40, the content viewer 30 through the network 20 A custom system 10 is provided.

It is characterized in that it comprises a content management unit 400 to pay a predetermined price.

In addition, the content management unit 400, a content request module 410 that receives the production of object-based content from the content production client (50); When the content requesting module 410 receives a content creation request from the content production client 50, the content creator 40 displays a content media object required for object-based content production in the content creator 40, and uses the content media object. A content registration module 420 which registers the produced object-based content when the creator 40 produces the object-based content; And an evaluation module 430 for evaluating the object-based content according to a predetermined evaluation criterion and paying a predetermined price to the content creator 40 who created the object-based content according to the evaluation criterion. .

In addition, the content request module 410 may be configured to be provided with a content media object when receiving the production of object-based content from the content production client 50.

The content media object may be a specific media object, or may be a blank media object that can be changed according to the intention of the production client.

In addition, the management module 420 may also extract information of the content production client 50 that provided the content media object from the object-based content.

In addition, the system 100 may further include a member authentication unit 100 that performs authentication for a user connected through the network 20.

In addition, the evaluation criteria is preferably one or more of the number of views, ratings, recommendations.

Meanwhile, according to another aspect of the present invention, a web-based content ordering method using the object-based content is accessible to the content production client 50, the content creator 40, the content viewer 30 through the network 20 Is provided.

The method according to the invention comprises the steps of (a) uploading a content media object to the system (10); (b) receiving, by the content creator 40, object-based content produced using the content media object; (c) evaluating the object-based content according to a predetermined evaluation criterion, and notifying the object-based content production client 50 of the evaluation result; (d) paying a predetermined price to the content creator 40 who created it based on the evaluation criteria of the object-based content.

The content media object is characterized in that it is a specified content media object capable of identifying whether or not it has been provided by a particular content production client 50.

In addition, in the step (b), the content creator 40 is preferably connected to the system 10 to produce the object-based content by the object-based content editing means provided in the system 10.

The present invention has the following effects.

(1) First, in terms of content creators, object-based content editing means are provided in the content ordering system to enable users to access object-based content editing means on a web-based basis, and object-based content by giving a predetermined price to the content creators. Creation is activated.

(2) Second, in terms of content site administrators, the quantity and types of content uploaded to content sites can be expanded through activation of content creation.

(3) Third, the content production requestor has an advantage that the content production requester can variously and smoothly supply object-based content including content objects to be promoted at low cost.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art may easily implement the present invention.

Throughout the specification, when a part is said to "include" a certain component, it means that it can further include other components, without excluding other components unless specifically stated otherwise. In addition, the terms “… unit”, “module”, etc. described in the specification mean a unit that processes at least one function or operation, which may be implemented by hardware or software, or a combination of hardware and software.

Throughout the specification, the term "network" is a concept encompassing various wired and wireless communication networks that enable each user personal terminal to access various servers provided on the web. "Object-based content" means multi-media content produced to edit various objects constituting the content. In addition, the "media object" is an individual media constituting the object-based content may be an image, text, video, sound, and the like. "User Created Contents" is a general concept of media content created by Internet users and uploaded on the web. "Specified content media object" means a media object that can be identified as being a product of, or associated with, a specific content creator 50, and a "blank content media object" means It refers to a media object that cannot be identified as relating to a specific content production client 50 such as an empty beverage container or an empty car image.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a content customizing system 10 of the present invention.

As shown, the web-based content customization system 10 using the object-based content according to the present invention is accessible to the content production client 50, the content creator 40, the content viewer 30 through the network 20 It is configured to. The system 10 according to the present invention includes a member authenticator 100, a content editor 200, a content player 300, a content manager 400, an object DB 500, and a content DB 600.

The member authentication unit 100 performs authentication for a user connected through the network 20 and includes a member authentication module (not shown) and a member DB (not shown).

When the user attempts to log in through the network 20, the member authentication module requests an ID or password, accepts it from the user, and compares the user input information with the member ID and password information stored in the member DB. Allow login only if The member DB stores member information, that is, member ID and password.

In order to view the completed content, a separate member certification is not required. However, in order to receive a content editing service, it is desirable to limit the qualification to only authenticated members.

The content editor 200 allows the content creator 40 connected to the system 10 to create and edit object-based content using the media object. In the content editing unit 200, most functions necessary for object-based content production or editing are opened to the user. Accordingly, the user may assign advanced information such as time, space, attributes, and logical relationships to each media object by using the content editing unit 200. The content editing unit 200 is preferably set to be accessible only to users authenticated through the member authentication unit 100.

In more detail, the content editing unit 200 may include a user interface module (not shown), an object loading module (not shown), and an editing information processing module (not shown).

The user interface module provides an interface that enables content creation to a user connected to the system. For example, the content production interface may be divided into a content display interface for displaying an edit state of content being produced and an editing tool display interface for displaying an editing tool. The editing tool display interface includes an interface for editing, inserting, deleting, and characterizing each media object, an interface for editing logical relationships between media objects, an interface for editing the temporal relationships of media objects, An interface for editing the spatial relationship between media objects may be provided.

The edit information processing module forms edit information for each media object based on the edit information of the user input to the user interface module, generates object-based content from the edit information for each media object, and stores the content-based content in the content DB 600.

To this end, it is preferable that an internal data structure is provided in the edit information processing module for reading and storing content stored in the content DB 600 and storing the edit information currently being input by the user. In addition, the editing information processing module is a file interpretation means for storing the information of the object-based content read from the content DB 600 in the internal data structure, and a file for forming an object-based content file from the edit information stored in the internal data structure It may include a generating means.

When the user selects a media object to be inserted through the user interface module, the object loading module loads it into the user interface module. The method of loading a media object may be performed by calling a media object previously stored in the object DB 500. However, the media object stored in the user terminal 30 may be transferred to the system 10 while the user is connected to the system. You can also upload and load in real time.

The content reproducing unit 300 functions as a so-called viewer that allows a user connected to the system to play and enjoy the content in the content DB 600. To this end, the content reproducing unit 300 includes a content reproducing module (not shown) and a data input / output unit (not shown).

The content playback module may include well-known codecs such as MPEG2 and MPEG4 for playing video and audio objects, and may include a decoder for playing image files such as jpeg / gif / bmp / tiff. It can be equipped with Macromedia Flash object to implement.

The data input / output unit provides a user with an interface for playing content, receives a user's command, loads the selected content file from the content DB 600, processes information in the content file, and provides the same to the content playing module.

Unlike the aforementioned content editing unit 200, the content reproducing unit 300 may be used immediately without a login procedure through a member authentication process, but may be set to undergo a member authentication process.

Next, the content management unit 400 which is the most important configuration of the present invention will be described.

The content management unit 400 is a content production client (50) who wants to produce content with cheap and various contents, the content creator (40) who wants to obtain a predetermined price by creating a content, and enjoys various contents. It serves to mediate each other to satisfy all the desires of the desired content viewer (30).

The content management unit 400 receives the content media object provided from the content production client 50 or other source, and displays the content media object 40 to the content creator 40 connected to the system 10 to create the content using the content media object. Induce. In addition, the content manager 400 may additionally provide a function of paying each content creator 40 a predetermined price based on a predetermined evaluation criterion. Here, the evaluation criteria may be views, ratings, recommendations.

2, the content manager 400 includes a content request module 410, a content registration module 420, and an evaluation module 430.

The content request module 410 receives production of object-based content from the content production client 50. When the content production client 50 requests a content, the content production requester 50 may request only the content production without specifying the content media object, or may request the content production after designating the content media object to be inserted.

Here, the content media object means an object that can be used for the purpose of content among the media objects constituting the object-based content, and can be broadly classified into a 'specified content media object' and a 'blank content media object'.

The 'blank content media object' is an object capable of changing the media later according to the intention of the production client (see A of FIG. 6).

A 'specified content media object' is a media object (e.g., Coca-Cola's beverage container image, Nike's logo or sneakers) that can be identified as being a product of or associated with a specific content creator 50. Image, a car image of Hyundai Motor Co., Ltd.) and cannot be changed later (refer to A 'of FIG. 7).

The type of media object is not limited to an image or text, but may be variously set, such as a sound or a video clip.

In summary, the content production requester 50 may request three ways for content creation. That is, a first method of only requesting content production without designation of a content media object, a second method of requesting content production while designating a specific content media object, and a third method of requesting content production while designating a blank content media object This is it. In addition, the second method and the third method may be used together.

The blank content media object, on the other hand, may later be replaced with a specific content media object. Therefore, the blank content media object (A of FIG. 6) of the content, which has been produced according to the third scheme or created by the random addition of the blank content media object by the content creator, may be used by a specific content media object (see FIG. 7). A ').

The content registration module 420 provides the content creator 40 with a content media object necessary for object-based content production when the content production request from the content production client 50 is received in the content request module 410. When the content creator 40 produces object-based content using the content media object, the produced object-based content is registered.

Here, when the content production client 50 does not specify the content media object at the time of the content production request (first method), the content request module 410 indicates that a content production request has been received from the content production client 50. The content creator 40 may be notified.

On the other hand, when the content production client 50 also specifies the content media object at the time of the content creation request (second or third method), the content creator 40 may display the blank or specific content media object provided by the content production client 50. ) Can be displayed.

The evaluation module 430 evaluates the object-based contents uploaded to the content registration module 420 by the content creator 40 according to predetermined evaluation criteria, and then gives a predetermined price to the content creator 40 according to the evaluation criteria. give. The evaluation criteria may be views, ratings, recommendations, etc. for the content. The price paid to the content creator 40 may be in various forms such as real money or cyber money, and in the case of cyber money, if the amount is more than a predetermined amount, it may be configured to exchange money into real money.

In addition, the content manager 400 may further include a management module (not shown) and a content information DB (not shown).

The management module performs an overall management function in the content manager 400. That is, the content media object uploaded to the system 10 is stored in the object DB 500, and the object-based content uploaded to the system 10 by the content creator 40 is stored as the content DB 600. In addition, the information of the creator and the inserted content media object for each object-based content is extracted and stored in the content information DB to be described later.

In the content information DB, information about the creator, the inserted content media object, and the evaluation result (view count, rating, recommendation number) extracted for each object-based content are stored correspondingly.

On the other hand, when the content production requester 50 also provides a content media object at the time of requesting the content, the information of the content production requester 50 that provides it for each content media object is also stored in the content information DB. In addition, when the specific content production client 50 purchases the object-based content, information of the content production client 50 who purchased the content is also stored in the content information DB.

3 and 4 are examples of internal data structures stored in the content information DB 430 for the case where the content media object is a specific content media object and the blank content media object, respectively.

3 illustrates a case where a content media object is a specific content media object provided from a specific content production client 50, and corresponding content production clients (Hyundai, Coca Cola) are stored for each content object (NF Sonata, Coca-Cola). In addition, when the content creator 40 creates object-based content using the content media object, the creator's ID and the created content name may be stored together. In addition, evaluation results (view count, rating, recommendation number) for each of the created contents may be stored together.

4 is a case where the content media object is a blank content media object. As described above, the blank content media object may be provided when the content production client 50 requests the production of the content, or may be added by the creator. The blank content media object additionally stores changed object information. The information of the changed object can be changed later by the production client, and when the content is played by the content player, the changed media object is displayed instead of the blank media object.

Referring back to FIG. 1, the object DB 500 stores a source object for addition and substitution and an execution object for attribute change in a database form. Examples of target objects include video objects, audio objects, image objects, effect objects, and the like.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, objects stored in the object DB 500 may be classified into a default object and an advanced object according to a product value or a production difficulty of the provided objects. Basic objects include simple video clips, simple MIDI sounds, simple shapes, and simple effect objects that are hardly considered to be of special commodity value, and enhanced objects can increase the value of content in content by applying such objects to Internet content. There are some things that might be possible. For example, the enhanced object may include a daily visitor counting object, a uniquely designed background image object, a modern sound source object, a flash object that provides a special visual effect, and the like.

It is desirable that basic objects be provided free of charge to users while enhanced objects are provided for a fee. In this case, the cyber money payment system should be further provided to the user in order to provide an improved paid object. Since the cyber money payment system is widely used in the field of electronic commerce, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Of course, you can also provide all the objects for free without distinguishing between the base and enhanced objects.

The content DB 600 stores an object-based content file produced or edited by the content editing unit 200.

Hereinafter, a content ordering method using a web-based content ordering system 10 using object-based content according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

5 is a flowchart sequentially illustrating a content customization method using a web-based content customization system 10 using object-based content according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the content production request is received from the content production requester 50 to the web-based content production system 10 (S 110), the system 10 notifies the content creator 40 of the production request content (S 120). As described above, the content creation request method includes a first method of requesting content production only without specifying a content media object, a second method of requesting content production while specifying a specific content media object, and a content while specifying a blank content media object. It can be any one of the third way of making a request.

The content creator 40 edits or produces the content according to the production request content and then uploads the produced object-based content to the system 10 (S 130). Here, it is preferable that the object-based content editing means is provided in the system 10 so that the content creator 40 can create or edit the content while being connected to the system 10 through the network 20.

When the content produced or edited by the content creator 40 is uploaded to the system 10, the system 10 notifies the content viewer 30 of the uploaded content and the content sense box 30 views the known content. (S 140).

The system 10 checks the evaluation result (the number of views, the number of recommendations, the rating, etc.) according to the predetermined evaluation criteria for each content and displays or notifies the content production client 50 that has accessed it (S 150).

The embodiments of the present invention described above are not implemented only through the apparatus and the method, but may be implemented through a program for realizing a function corresponding to the configuration of the embodiment of the present invention or a recording medium on which the program is recorded.
