The classification criterion may be set in advance, and when the classification criterion is set in advance, the classification is determined according to the set criterion.

The content information collection related to the content file stored in the terminal or the file downloaded by the terminal can be separately collected by the stored content information collection unit 112. [ The content information collection related to the case of playing the content through the Internet, the wired network, or the wireless network instead of the content stored in the terminal can be collectively collected by the content information collection unit 114 to be reproduced.

The content information collecting unit 110 may collect the content information of each terminal periodically or non-periodically. In addition, information may be collected in real time when a change occurs in previously acquired information. The occurrence of the change in the previously obtained information may be a case where additional information can be collected, for example, when there is a change in the type of the stored content, or when the content is reproduced.

However, the collection limit setting unit 116 may limit or prohibit collection of content information from each terminal according to a user's request, legal regulation, or a predetermined setting. Such restriction or prohibition may be restricted or prohibited by collection based on a specific word contained in the title of the content file, such as day of the week, time zone, place, content file extension, and the like.

When the user of the terminal makes a request to limit or prohibit collection of content information from the terminal through the application, the collection limit setting unit 116 receives the request and restricts the collection of content information from the terminal that has made the collection restriction or prohibition request It is possible to set a prohibited setting.

The provision target content information generation unit 120 generates information requested by the user in the form of a chart, a statistic, a list, or the like using the content information collected by the content information collection unit 110, And generates information according to the set logic.

The information requested by the user is information that satisfies the input conditions when the content information generation condition unit 130 receives the condition related to the information desired by the user and transmits the condition to the content information generation unit 120.

For example, the user can request information about the most-played content or the most-played content at the other terminals registered in the user terminal within one month. .

For example, information generation according to the logic set in the content-to-be-provided content information generation unit 120 can be performed. Even if there is no request from the user, information about the song with the largest total number of reproduction times in one day among the collected content information can be generated have.

Other logic may generate information on the songs that are reproduced the most in the terminals registered in the user's social network service for a week among the collected contents information even when there is no user's request.

The setting of the logic can be set to any information that can be generated using the collected content information.

The providing target content information generating unit 120 includes a chart generating unit 122, a real time customized statistic generating unit 124, a real time customized list generating unit 126, and / or a customized information generating unit 128.

The real-time chart generating unit 122 includes a space real-time chart generating unit 122a, a friend real-time chart generating unit 122c, and / or a real-time fitting chart generating unit 122e. The chart may include ranking information.

The spatial real-time chart generating unit 122a generates a spatial real-time chart using the location information of the terminal among the contents information collected by the contents information collecting unit 110. [

The spatial real-time chart generating unit 122a generates a spatial real-time chart using the information about the position of the terminal where the content is stored or reproduced among the contents information and the condition about the range of the condition input from the contents information generating condition unit 130 Can be generated. Alternatively, the providing target content information generating unit 120 may generate a chart according to preset conditions or logic.

The content information generation condition unit 130 receives the information generation condition and sets the condition of information generation in the content information generation unit 120 and transmits the information generation condition to the content information generation unit 120. More specifically, it will be described later.

For example, in a real-time chart of space, a chart about a music genre in which terminals within a radius of 500 m are currently being reproduced based on the position of a terminal of the current user, and a chart about a song being played a lot within one week, This is an example of a chart.

A service company such as a cafe, bar, or bar is provided with a space real-time chart for the song titles that are reproduced most frequently for a predetermined period of time in a terminal of a guest in a cafe, a bar, or a bar, .

The friend real-time chart generating unit 122c generates a friend real-time chart. The friend real-time chart generating unit 122c generates a friend real-time chart generated using information on a content file reproduced or stored in another terminal having a unique identifier such as a phone number or ID registered in the terminal. The information about the content file reproduced or stored in another terminal having the unique identifier is included in the information collected by the content information collection unit 110.

Examples of the friend real time chart are charts for music, movies, or dramas that have been requested by the terminal or have been played many times for a predetermined period of time at other terminals corresponding to the numbers registered in the terminal according to predetermined conditions and logic have. Or an example of a chart of the music that a graduate of a high school graduate graduated from a terminal holder based on the information of the terminal holder among the collected contents information most frequently listens to.

A friend's real-time chart can be an example of a chart of the music currently being heard by the people registered through the social network service among collected contents information.

The real-time custom chart generating unit 122e generates a real-time customized chart using the content information collected by the content information collecting unit 110 on the basis of the condition inputted from the content information generating condition unit. The specific conditions are described together in the content information generation condition part.

The real-time statistic generating unit 124 generates statistics using the information collected by the contents information collecting unit 110.

For example, statistics about the time when music files are played most within 1 km from Gangnam station, statistics about the genres of songs most heard in Seoul National University, Yonsei University and Korea University, Statistics with various variables such as statistics about songs that are mainly heard by people stored in the user's mobile phone can be generated using the information collected by the content information collection unit 110. [ These statistics may be charted.

The method of generating statistics in the real-time statistic generating unit 124 is similar to the method in which the real-time chart generating unit 122 generates a chart. That is, the real-time statistics generator 124 may generate statistics under a predetermined condition, and may generate the statistics according to the conditions by receiving the conditions from the content-information generation condition 130. [

The real-time list generation unit 126 generates a list using the information collected by the content information collection unit 110. Unlike charts, the list may not contain information about the rankings.

Examples of the list generated by the real-time list generation unit 126 include a list of titles of music files stored in a mobile phone having a phone number registered in the terminal, And a list of the titles of the music files.

The type of the list can be changed according to the information input in the content information generation condition unit 130. [ The real-time list generation unit 126 may generate a list according to conditions or logic preset in the real-time list generation unit 126.

When the user sets a condition through the terminal, the content information generating condition unit 130 receives the set condition by wireless or wire and transmits the condition to the providing target content information generating unit 120.

The conditions under which the content information generation condition part 130 is transmitted may be a condition that is set by using various conditions pre-interfaced with the terminal, but the condition may be a word or a sentence directly input by the user.

The content information generation condition part 130 includes an age range condition part 131, a content genre condition part 133, a spatial range condition part 135, a human range condition part 137, and / or a condition classification part 139.

The specific condition may be various conditions desired by the user such as age range condition, music genre condition, spatial range condition or human range condition.

Describing each condition in detail, the age condition can be a word or a sentence that can distinguish the age or sex of the teen, the twenties, the thirties, the twenties, the twenties, the twenties, have. The age range condition unit 131 receives the age range condition and performs processing such as condition classification or transmission.

The content genre condition is a word that can distinguish music genres such as hip-hop, rock, ballad, dance, girl group, or idol in melody, action, horror, It can be an input consisting of a sentence. The content genre condition unit 133 receives conditions of the content genre and performs processing such as condition classification or transmission.

The spatial range condition may be an input composed of words or sentences that can specify or distinguish a spatial range within a predetermined range based on the location of a city, an area, a terminal, a building, a cafe, or a restaurant. The spatial range condition unit 135 receives the spatial range condition and performs processing such as condition classification or transmission.

The human range condition is a condition for a specific range of other terminals having different numbers or other identifiers registered in the subscriber's terminal or the terminal registered in the subscriber's social network service.

Specifically, the human range condition designates a human range such as a phone number stored in the terminal, an ID, an owner or user of the terminal, a favorite set person, a specific group, or a person registered in a social networking service (SNS) Or an input consisting of words or phrases that can be distinguished. The human range condition unit 137 receives human range conditions and performs processing such as condition classification or transmission.

When the user inputs a desired condition directly into a word or a sentence, the conditional classification unit 139 receives the word or sentence and classifies or appropriately transforms the condition. An ontology-based technique may be used in the course of classifying or appropriately modifying conditions by the condition classifier 139.

Specifically, when the condition classified by the condition classifying unit 139 matches any of the conditions pre-embedded or set in the condition classifying unit 139, 120).

The condition classifying section (139) classifies the condition into a condition that does not match any of preset conditions. It can be modified appropriately to the best match condition. Ontology based technology can be used in this process.

Ontology can be thought of as a kind of dictionary composed of words and relations. Ontology includes hierarchical expressions of words related to a specific domain, and additionally includes inference rules that can extend them. Knowledge sharing and reuse among application programs is possible.

The content information transmission unit 140 includes a real time transmission unit 142, a periodic transmission unit 144, and / or a customized transmission unit 146. [

The content information transmitting unit 140 transmits the information generated by the providing content information generating unit 120 to the terminal requesting the content information. In this case, the real time transmission unit 142 can transmit the requested information to the requesting terminal in real time after receiving the information request.

The terminal requesting the information may be a terminal to which the content information collection unit 110 collects the content information, and may not be the target terminal.

For example, when friends share information about music they listen to in content information, a terminal used by each friend to play music is a target of collecting content information in the content information collection unit 110 At the same time, the content information transmitting unit 140 is an object providing the generated content information.

When a coffee shop wants to provide music based on the information obtained from people who are currently enjoying the music they enjoy at the current coffee shop, the coffee shop is a target for receiving the generated content information, It may not be the subject. Alternatively, the coffee shop may collect the generated content information, and at the same time, the content information transmitting unit 140 may provide the generated content information to the terminal 220 of the user A existing in the coffee shop.

Or when the customized information generation unit 128 of the provision target content information generation unit 120 acquires the location information of the user, the information collected by the content information collection unit 110 or the content information of the provision target content information generation unit 120 The terminal 220 may provide customized information that the user of the terminal A 220 may be interested in considering at least one of the generated information and characteristics of a place corresponding to the obtained location information of the user.

That is, for example, when the acquired location information is a music store, the information collected by the content information collecting unit 110 or information generated by the providing-target content information generating unit 120, To the terminal 220 of the user A, the recently released music information of the singer of the music file reproduced at a high frequency in the user A '.

The real time transmission unit 142 can transmit information on the change to the terminals in real time when there is a change in the content information of the specific terminal or when there is a change in the chart ranking of the collected content information.

To transmit the requested information in real time means to process the request immediately after the request and send the requested information.

Alternatively, the content information transmitting unit 140 periodically or non-periodically transmits information generated according to conditions and logic set in advance to terminals providing content information. In this case, the periodic transmission unit 144 may periodically or periodically transmit the content information to the terminal or other devices providing the content information.

Other devices may be devices capable of playing content files, devices connected by wire or wireless to devices capable of playing content files, devices capable of storing generated information, devices or applications capable of browsing generated information It can be any one of the devices.

The customized transmission unit 146 may transmit the information generated by the customized information generation unit 128 to the terminal in which the location information is collected in the content information collection unit 110. [ A concrete example of this will be described later.
