Hereinafter, in the case of work that requires a lot of resources, a method and a specific embodiment of the system that can request resources from the user's electronic device included in the chat room of the messenger will be described. ..

As used herein, work may mean a comprehensive set of all things that can be processed by the resources of a computer system, including, for example, cryptographic analysis, video / image composition, conversion, analysis, and the like. You can.

Generally, in a user's electronic device, work is processed by using only the resources of the electronic device.

When a work requires a lot of calculations, if the work is processed using only the resources of the user's electronic device, there will be a problem that it takes a lot of time and other functions are restricted. Sometimes.

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a technique in which an electronic device resource of another user included in a chat room of a messenger can be utilized for a work requested by the user.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of components that can be included in the processor of the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a block diagram shown by the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present invention. It is a flowchart which showed the example of the possible method.

The electronic device 110 according to the present embodiment may be configured with a resource request realized by a computer. As an example, a resource request system may be realized in a program form that operates independently, or may be configured in an in-app form of a specific application so that it can operate on the specific application. In some cases, the messenger service may be provided by interlocking with the server 150.

The resource request system realized in the electronic device 110 may execute the resource request method shown in FIG. 4 based on the instruction provided by the application installed in the electronic device 110.

In order to execute the resource request method according to FIG. 4, the processor 212 of the electronic device 110 includes a data processing unit 310, a work request unit 320, and a result providing unit 330 as components, as shown in FIG. Good. Depending on the embodiment, the components of processor 212 may be selectively included or excluded from processor 212. Also, depending on the embodiment, the components of processor 212 may be separated or merged to represent the functionality of processor 212.

Such a processor 212 and components of the processor 212 may control the electronic device 110 to perform steps 410-440 included in the resource request method of FIG. For example, the processor 212 and the components of the processor 212 may be implemented to execute an instruction by the code of the operating system included in the memory 211 and the code of at least one program.

Here, the components of the processor 212 are executed by the processor 212 according to an instruction provided by the program code recorded in the electronic device 110 (for example, an instruction provided by an application executed by the electronic device 110). It may be an expression of 212 different functions. For example, the data processing unit 310 may be used as a functional expression of the processor 212 that controls the electronic device 110 according to the above-mentioned instruction so that the electronic device 110 processes the data to be worked on.

At step 410, processor 212 may read the required instructions from memory 211 loaded with instructions related to the control of electronic device 110. In this case, the read instructions may include instructions for controlling steps 420-440 described below so that the processor 212 can execute them.

In step 420, when the data to be worked and the work type are selected by the user of the electronic device 110 in the chat room of the messenger installed in the electronic device 110, the data processing unit 310 distributes the selected data. It may be pretreated into a possible form. At this time, the data processing unit 310 may execute a display process for data division, that is, marking, as a data preprocessing process so that the data can be divided into the maximum amount.

In particular, the data processing unit 310 executes various methods of data processing in consideration of work types and data types in the marking process in order to efficiently and quickly work the data and reduce network consumption. Good. As an example, in the case of a video or an image, the data processing unit 310 may change the resolution of the corresponding data, for example, may change the resolution to a lower resolution than the original. As another example, the data processing unit 310 may divide the data into a plurality of data. In the case of an image, the original image may be divided into a plurality of smaller images, and in the case of a video, the original video may be divided into a plurality of sections. As another example, in the case of a video or an image, the data processing unit 310 may extract features related to the work from the corresponding data. In other words, the data processing unit 310 may extract features related to the work in advance from the data in the electronic device 110 which is the terminal of the user who requested the work for faster work. Therefore, the data processing unit 310 efficiently processes the data by changing the image quality or size necessary for the work according to the work type and the data type, or by extracting the features related to the work. It may be processed so as to be processed. By providing the data for work as processed data other than the original data, it is possible to effectively reduce the network consumption for data transmission. Further, by reducing the size of the data by data processing or extracting and providing the features related to the work from the data, the processing speed for the corresponding work can be improved.

It has been explained that the preprocessing process including the above-mentioned data processing is executed by the electronic device 110 which is the terminal of the user who requested the work, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the server 150 which provides the messenger service It is also possible to receive the original data from the electronic device 110 and execute preprocessing on the data on the server 150. At this time, the data processing unit 310 may decide whether or not to execute the preprocessing according to the network condition. For example, if the network condition is not good, the electronic device 110 may execute the preprocessing process and send the processed data to the server 150. If the network condition is good, the original data may be sent from the electronic device 110. It may be transmitted to the server 150 as it is, and the preprocessing process may be executed on the server 150.

Depending on the embodiment, the electronic device 110 first transmits only the metadata related to the work to the server 150, and the server 150 determines the work efficiency and the preprocessing position based on the work type, the data type, the network resource, and the like. , The entity that executes the preprocessing for the relevant data may be selectively determined according to the judgment result. Depending on the determination of the server 150, the electronic device 110 may be requested to perform a preprocessing process for the data so that the electronic device 110 executes the process, or the server 150 receives the original data from the electronic device 110 and the data is subjected to the original data. The preprocessing may be executed directly on the server 150.

At step 430, the work requesting unit 320 may request distributed work by transmitting information about the work type requested by the user of the electronic device 110 and the data processed in step 420 from the chat room to the server 150. As a result, when a distributed work request is received from the user of the electronic device 110 in the chat room, the server 150 is a user who has consented to resource sharing among other users included in the chat room (hereinafter, "received"). Work data may be distributed to the recipient's electronic device, and a resource request message including the distributed data and the work type may be transmitted from the chat room to the recipient's electronic device. At this time, the data distributed to each of the receivers may be included in the message to which E2EE is applied between the electronic device 110 and the receiver's electronic device or between the user of the electronic device 110 and the receiver.

Each recipient may consent in advance to share resources with their electronic devices based on the settings in the chat room. When the user of the electronic device 110 requests the distributed work when the consent of the recipient is not required due to such prior consent, a resource request message is immediately sent to the receiver's electronic device in the chat room. Good. On the other hand, if consent is not set in advance and the consent of the recipient is required, first a message requesting consent for resource sharing is sent to the electronic devices of other users included in the chat room. After waiting for a certain period of time to grasp the user who requested the resource sharing, that is, the recipient, the resource request message may be sent to the electronic device of the recipient. As another example, each time the user consents to resource sharing, data that needs to be processed may be transmitted in order.

The server 150 may distribute the data according to the number of recipients who have consented to the resource sharing, and at this time, among the other users included in the chat room, the user who can actually share the resource, that is, the user. Data may be distributed according to the number of recipients running with the messenger activated or running in the background (background).

The server 150 may distribute the work amount in consideration of the resource processing efficiency of each receiver. As an example, the server 150 may distribute the workload based on historical historical statistics from each recipient's resource sharing. After accumulating the history of how efficiently the work was processed during the existing distributed work for each recipient, the work amount may be distributed equally based on the accumulated statistical results. As another example, the server 150 may distribute the workload based on the performance information of each receiver for the electronic device. In other words, the amount of work may be distributed equally according to the performance of each receiver's electronic device. If there is no information related to resource processing efficiency, the workload may be evenly distributed. In order to prevent data loss or work delay during distributed work, the server 150 may duplicately distribute at least a part of the data to a plurality of users.

In step 440, the result provider 330 receives the interim outputs for the data distributed from the server 150 to the recipient's electronic device in the chat room, and merges the received intermediate results to obtain the final result. You may generate and provide things. The electronic device 110 of the user who requested the distributed work may merge the intermediate products for the data distributed to each receiver to generate the final product, and in some embodiments, the server 150 generates the final product. It is also possible to provide the electronic device 110. Further, the electronic device 110 may combine the intermediate result product generated by the electronic device 110 with the intermediate result product for the data distributed to the electronic devices of each receiver to generate the final product product.

The result providing unit 330 may generate and provide information on the work requested by the user of the electronic device 110 in the form of one message in the chat room, and when the user selects the corresponding message, the result providing unit 330 is included in the chat room. Detailed information including the work contribution status, the work processing status, the result, etc. of each of the other users may be provided. The server 150 records how much the total amount for the distributed work is distributed to each recipient, and each time the intermediate result is sent from the receiver, the work requester (user of the electronic device 110) is notified. The relevant information may be returned, whereby the result providing unit 330 may show the current progress of the information returned from the server 150 in a progress in a message indicating the work information of the chat room. The work process, including the current progress, may be indicated by a number or the like corresponding to the amount of intermediate product received as compared to the total amount. As another example, the result providing unit 330 may show a list of recipients who have contributed to the work based on the information returned from the server 150, or the recipient who provided the corresponding intermediate result for each intermediate result. Information may be shown. By providing the work information in the form of a message in the chat room, the work processing process and the result can be shared not only with the user who requested the work but also with the recipient who contributed to the work. At this time, the message indicating the work information may be an action message including the information defined in advance.

The result providing unit 330 may provide the received intermediate products so that they can be used even if all the intermediate products of the work are not received. For example, if only the intermediate result of a part of the section is received for the video divided into 10 sections, only the intermediate result (that is, a part of the video) corresponding to the received amount is received at the time of playing the corresponding video. The rest may be the original with subtitles and black-and-white filters superimposed. In addition, when only the intermediate product corresponding to a part of the whole image is received for the image divided into a plurality of small images, the part where the intermediate product is received is displayed brightly and the intermediate product is received. The remaining unfinished portion or the portion of the overall image for which the work has not been completed by the electronic device 110 may be displayed by darkening the original image.

The server 150 may record the contribution of each recipient who contributed to the work and provide a reward based on the contribution. At this time, the reward may be one that can be used to purchase content or services on the Internet, such as virtual currency, or one that can be used as a means for obtaining opportunities for distributed work.

Apply End-to-end encryption (E2EE) in the chat room to the transmitted message (including the work data) even if the work data is sent from the server 150 to the recipient's electronic device. This not only prevents the server 150 from grasping the content of the relevant data, but also prevents the server 150 from grasping the content of the relevant data even if the server 150 illegally acquires the data. Even if the data related to the work is transmitted to the receiver's electronic device that contributes to resource sharing, by transmitting the preprocessed data, it is possible to prevent all the data for the work from being grasped.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the overall flow of the moving image synthesis work in one embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 5 is an example of a work of searching for a part where a specific person exists from a video and replacing the corresponding part with an avatar.

In the electronic device 110 corresponding to the requester terminal, the requester may select the video to be worked on in the chat room of the messenger for the corresponding work, and select the avatar to be replaced with the person in the video as the work type. (S51).

The electronic device 110 transmits a distributed work request including video, person information, and avatar information to the server 150 (S52).
