An apparatus and method for sharing social media content are described.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described an embodiment of the present invention;

1 is a block diagram illustrating an internal configuration of a social media content sharing device based on a place / social relationship according to an embodiment of the present invention. The content management unit 100, the database 110, the content search unit 120, and the like are illustrated. The database 110 may include a user repository 112, a content profile repository 114, a content repository 116, and the like.

The content manager 100 generates social content media by associating profile information and user profile information with respect to the shared content as the shared content desired to be shared by the user is stored in the database 110.

That is, the social content media includes profile information and user profile information consisting of attribute information on shared content and social content information required for uploading and sharing by a user, and content attribute information and social content, which are profile information about shared content. Information will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 2B.

As illustrated in FIGS. 2A and 2B, social media content may be categorized and managed to facilitate storage and retrieval through social tagging or information fields as well as basic file information.

FIG. 2A is attribute information of a media content as a basic information system of content, and the social media content sharing device profiles and manages initial information of the media content, thereby allowing content having the same file name to be a separate file. Can manage Here, the basic information of the content may include a content type, a file type, a file size, a user ID, a creation date, a creation time, an update date, and an update time.

Meanwhile, social media content requires social content information, which is additional data for semantic information analysis. Here, as shown in FIG. 2B, the social content information may include a content ID, a tag list, a summary note, an image location, a producing country, and presentation information.

The social content information may be extracted through analysis of information in the shared content, or may be extracted using information received from a user. In other words, the content manager 100 may provide an input interface for inputting social content information about shared content, and may extract social content information using data input through the input interface.

For example, how to extract social content information through information analysis. First, if the shared content is a music file such as MP3, the social content information is extracted through analysis of a text file connected to each file, or the shared content. Is a video file, the social content information may be extracted through analysis of the subtitle file associated with the video file, or when the shared content is a text file, the social content information may be extracted by analyzing the content in the text file.

The attribute information and social content information of the shared content extracted through the above process are stored in the content profile storage 114.

The content manager 100 may generate social media content by adding user profile information for place / social relation information when generating social media content using the shared content.

The user profile information may basically include social characteristic ontology information and user characteristic information such as psychographics among various information necessary for solving a problem for each user. The user profile information is extracted from the user repository 112, that is, the content manager 100 extracts the user profile information of the user who inputs the shared content from the user repository 112.

As shown in FIG. 3, user characteristic information may be obtained in the same manner as psychographics, that is, based on VALS (Values, Attitudes, and Life Styles). In other words, the user characteristic information may be obtained through search information frequently searched by the user, site information frequently used by the user, user taste, inclination, etc., which may be obtained based on the user's age, hobby, and specialty.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, eight fields may be configured and provided as user characteristic information, where eight fields are IV (Innovator), TH (Thinker), and AC (Achiever). , EP (Experience), BL (Believer), ST (Striver), MK (Maker), SV (Survivor) and the like.

The social relation ontology information among the user profile information may be configured by using information input by the user at the time of subscription to use the social media content sharing device, for example, user age, gender, region, and the like.

The user store 112 stores profile information for each user who uses the social media content sharing device.

As such, the content manager 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention generates social media content consisting of shared content, profile information for the shared content, and user profile information, and stores the content in the content repository 116. Here, the profile information about the shared content may be stored as a tag list, that is, each shared content may be composed of a plurality of tags, so that even if the same tag is connected, it may be connected to completely different shared content.

A process of generating the social media content by the content generator of the social media content sharing device having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a social media content generation process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, after the user accesses the social media content sharing device to start a service, the user inputs user information and a shared content file for uploading (S400). In other words, the user accesses the social media content sharing device, enters the shared content file to upload after logging in.

The content manager 100 extracts the attribute information of the shared content file through analysis of the shared content file and stores it in the content profile storage 114 (S402). That is, the content manager 100 extracts the attribute information of the shared content file as shown in FIG. 2A and stores it in the content profile storage 114.

Then, the content manager 100 determines whether there is social content information that is additional content information (S404).

As a result of the determination in S404, when the social content information exists, the content management unit 100 generates the social content information as shown in FIG. 2B through analysis of the shared content file or the information input by the user, and then stores the content profile store. In operation S406, it is stored in (114).

Then, the content management unit 100 extracts the user's profile information from the user store 112 (S408), the tag linked to the attribute information and social content information stored in the shared content, the content profile store 114, and the extracted content. After generating the social media content consisting of the user's profile information and stores it in the content storage (116) (S410). Here, the social media content may be stored in the content repository 116 in the form of an information dictionary, which is a form required for a large-scale database processing, where the information dictionary is stored for dictionary retrieval through the ontology and the database 110. .

Meanwhile, the content manager 100 provides the user with the social content information extracted in the process of generating the social media content (S412). Through this, the user can check whether the shared content file to be uploaded is properly registered.

Although not shown, when the social content information does not exist, the content management unit 100 stores the attribute information and the shared content file of the shared content file in the content store 116 and stores the content in the content store 116. The shared content file is used for searching by file name.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, by storing the shared content in association with the profile information of the user and the profile information of the shared content, the user may input desired information when the content is shared.

The content search unit 120 searches the database 110 based on the search query requested by the user according to the user's search request, extracts the search result of the sample group, and then relates the user profile information in the search result of the sample group and the search request user. A search result is generated by comparing the profile information, and the generated search result is provided to the user.

The content search unit 120 may generate a search result by comparing the location information of the user who requested the search with the location information of the social media content in the search result of the sample group.

Referring to FIG. 5, the content search unit 120 searches for a place / social relationship-based social media content.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of searching for social media content according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, as shown in FIG. 5, a user requests a search through input of a search word after accessing a social media content sharing device (S500).

The content search unit 120 performs a basic search based on the search word and attribute information associated with each social media content stored in the content store 116 to determine whether social media content related to the search word exists in the content store 116 (S502). ).

As a result of the determination in S502, when the social media content exists, the content search unit 120 extracts an initial sample group consisting of the social media content related to the search word (S504).

Then, the content search unit 120 searches for the social content information of each social media content selected as the extracted initial sample group in the content profile store 114, and then compares the searched social content information with a search word with high similarity. The search results are extracted into a sample group (S506).

Then, the content retrieval unit 120 retrieves the location information associated with each social media content extracted as a sample group in the user repository 112 for more reliable information retrieval, and retrieves each retrieved location information and the requesting user. The relationship is added by comparing the location information to provide an information search result composed of social media content having a place relationship (S508).

Thereafter, the content search unit 120 extracts psychographics information such as a user's inclination and interest requested from the user repository 112, and recommends a higher order in the information search result through pattern processing between the extracted psychographics information and the information search result. After selecting an item, it provides the search request to the user (S510).

On the other hand, if the social media content corresponding to the search word, as a result of the determination in S502, the content search unit 120 proceeds to S500 and requests the search word re-entry.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, by providing a content search result by using the relationship between the social content information related to the content and the user's profile information and the search word, a more accurate search result can be provided to the user.
