At this time, the display portion of the user list may be changed to the second screen 320 by recognizing an upward flick as the user's input to the first screen 310. By moving the user list upward on the first screen 310, the second screen 320 displays only a part of the representative video content 311 of the user a and the representative video content 312 of the user b, and the representative video of the user c. It shows how the content 313, the representative video content 314 of the user d, the representative video content 315 of the user e, and the representative video content 316 of the user f are displayed.

Here, the user included in the user list is, as an embodiment, a person in a service provided by the user of the electronic device 1 (110) and the content providing server according to the embodiment of the present invention, or another service linked with the service. It may be a user who has a relationship (for example, a friendship in a messenger or a social network service). Here, the content providing server may correspond to the above-mentioned server 150 as an example.

As another embodiment, the user included in the user list is selected from all the users of the service provided by the content providing server according to the embodiment of the present invention according to a preset criterion (as an example, recently content is selected for each user). It may be a user who has selected a certain number of users based on the update date or randomly selected). In this case, the electronic device 1 (110) receives and displays a user list including representative video contents of a certain number of users from the content providing server, and then further displays the user list according to an input such as a user's touch gesture. Whenever it becomes necessary to do so, the user list may be expanded by receiving additional representative video content of the user.

At this time, the representative video content of the user is the content selected by the preset criteria from the contents uploaded by the user (for example, the content recently uploaded to the content providing server or the randomly selected content). ) May be. For example, assuming that the content 1, the content 2, and the content 3 uploaded by the user a exist and the recently uploaded content is the content 3, the content 3 may be selected as the representative moving image content of the user a. Further, the representative moving image contents of the user shown in FIG. 3 may be moving image contents as an example, and may be repeatedly played back in each display area. For example, the representative moving image content of the user a displayed in the first area 310 of FIG. 3 may be repeatedly played back in the first area 310.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a display example of a representative moving image content of a user in one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 illustrates an example in which the moving image content 410 is shown as the representative moving image content of the user a. Here, the character string "Signal" shown in the first dotted line box 411 may mean the identifier of the user a, and the number "2,321" shown in the second dotted line box 412 is the video content 410. It may mean the number of times selected by the user and played so far. Further, the number "48" shown in the third dotted line box 413 is the number of times that the user of the video content 410 selects the user interface provided to display the favorable impression or recommendation for the video content 410 (hereinafter, "" It may mean "recommended number"). Depending on the embodiment, the number of comments entered by the user regarding the video content 410, the date when the video content 410 was shot, or the date when the video content 410 was uploaded may be displayed together with the video content 410.

As described above, the moving image content 410 can be provided in a form of being repeatedly reproduced in a corresponding area, instead of an image form such as a snapshot. For example, the content provided in the embodiment of the present invention is a preset frame when an electronic device including a camera (for example, the electronic device 2 (120)) shifts to a video shooting mode using the camera. Based on the rate (FPS), the preview video input to the camera is captured, and the captured preview video is at least one of a plurality of preset time-fake effects. It may be video content generated by applying a time fake effect. While it is difficult to freely search, extract, and control frames from video files of a specific format such as MP4, you can freely search, extract, and control frames from captured preview video. This makes it possible for electronic devices to easily apply various time fake effects to the preview video according to the control of the application. At this time, the frame rate of the preview video may be set in consideration of the fact that a large number of moving image contents are played back on one screen as in the user list described above.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a display example of content selected from a user list in one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 shows that the representative video content 312 of the user b is selected by the user of the electronic device 1 (110) from the user list described on the first screen 310 of FIG. 3 (as an example, the representative video content of the user b on the first screen 310.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining an example of moving to a screen for displaying the content of a specific user in one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 shows an example in which the content display area 610 of the user b is provided by the user selecting a link included in the profile information of the user b on the third screen 510 of FIG. 5 described above. The content display area 610 of the user b is an area where the content uploaded by the user b can be roughly confirmed, and may be used as an example as a home screen for the content of the user b. In the content display area 610 of the user b, information such as the number of posted items uploaded by the user b, the number of followers of the user b, the number of followers, the number of recommendations, and the like may be further displayed as additional information.

The content display area as in the example of FIG. 6 described above has a function of roughly confirming the content included in a specific video content set (as an example, in FIG. 6, the video content set uploaded by the user b). I will provide a. For example, it is assumed that the electronic device 1 (110) receives a URL list of URLs for accessing a certain number of video contents among the video contents uploaded by the user b from the content providing server. Here, the URL for accessing the video content is only an example, and the present invention has no restrictions as long as it is an address information for notifying where the video content on the network is located and a list of such address information. It can be used in embodiments. Such address information and a list of address information may be generalized and expressed as "indicator" and "indicator list", respectively. At this time, the electronic device 1 (110) uses the URL list to order the video content to be played back in the content display area (for example, the content display area assigned to the user b) from the video content set. It may be determined in order or randomly. In this case, the electronic device 1 (110) acquires the video content using the corresponding URL in the URL list according to the determined order of the video content, and acquires the video content in the preset content display area in the order in which the video content is acquired. You may play it.

FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining an example in which content is reproduced in one embodiment of the present invention. As in the example of FIG. 6, when the electronic device 1 (110) tries to play the video content in the content display area 610 of the user b, the electronic device 1 (110) provides the video content related to the content display area 610 of the user b to the content providing server. May request. The content providing server 710 may be realized like the server 150 described above, and may manage a content database 720 in which a plurality of content sets in which the video content uploaded by the user is classified by the user are stored. Here, the content database 720 may be realized so as to be included in the content providing server 710, realized by another device, and managed by data communication between the content providing server 710 and the other device. May be done. For example, the content providing server 710 may manage the uploaded video content in association with the identifier of the user who uploaded the video content. In other words, the video content associated with the identifier of a particular user constitutes one video content set. For example, the content providing server 710 receives a request from the electronic device 1 (110) including the identifier of the user b or the identifier of the content display area 610 assigned to the user b, so that the video content uploaded by the user b can be obtained. The set may be confirmed from the content database 720. In this way, it can be said that the content database 720 manages the set of contents in relation to various parameters for the criteria for classifying the uploaded contents, rather than actually managing the set of contents. As in the example above, by managing the uploaded video content and the identifier of the user who uploaded the video content in association with each other, or by managing the video content and the corresponding category name in association with each other. A specific user or a specific category of video content will form one content set.

Here, the content providing server 710 does not send all the contents of the confirmed video content set to the electronic device 1 (110), but the URL for accessing a part of the video content included in the video content set. A URL list including the above may be generated and transmitted to the electronic device 1 (110). At this time, some video contents may be selected based on the date when the video contents were uploaded, or may be randomly selected. Depending on the embodiment, the moving image content may be selected according to various conditions such as the size and resolution of the moving image content.

In this case, the electronic device 1 (110) uses the URL list received from the content providing server 710 to order the video content to be played back in the content display area 610 of the user b in order from the video content set or at random. You may decide on. At this time, the electronic device 1 (110) may acquire and reproduce the moving image content in order according to the determined order of the moving image content. The acquisition of the moving image content may be performed by using the corresponding URL in the URL list.

Therefore, the electronic device 1 (110) can download and play the moving image contents in order or randomly instead of downloading and playing all the moving image contents of the URL list. When the user of the electronic device 1 (110) no longer needs to display the content display area 610 of the user b, the process for acquiring and playing the moving image content may be terminated immediately.

At this time, depending on the specific conditions, the content providing server 710 may further transmit the URL for accessing a part of the moving image content other than the moving image content in the moving image content set to the electronic device 1 (110). In this case, the electronic device 1 (110) may expand the URL list by using the received URL, and may download and play the moving image contents in order or randomly by using the expanded URL list.

As described above, the content display area according to the embodiment of the present invention is an area for reproducing a part of the video content included in a specific video content set in order in one area and substantially checking the content. I can say. Therefore, since it is not necessary to check all the video contents, in the content providing method and system according to the embodiment of the present invention, only a part included in a specific video content set is received and played back in order or randomly. This can be repeated while the content display area is displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). Further, by expanding the URL list of the video content to be played according to a specific condition, it becomes possible to confirm a wider variety of video content.

Furthermore, all the video content described in the embodiments of the present invention may be content that is automatically played by the system regardless of the user's explicit playback command.

In the above example, when the content display area 610 is arranged on the home screen of the user b, the user of the electronic device 1 (110) outlines a part of the video content uploaded by the user b on the home screen of the user b. With the URL list that is gradually expanded according to specific conditions, it is possible to confirm more diverse video contents.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example in which selected moving image contents are sequentially reproduced in chronological order in one embodiment of the present invention. For example, it is assumed that the first content set includes 10 contents from the first content to the tenth content. As described with reference to FIG. 7, the electronic device 1 (110) may receive a URL list for a part of the video content set from the content providing server 710, and the order is sequentially or randomly determined by the URL list. Video content may be acquired and played according to the above. For example, if the determined order is the first content, the second content, and the third content, the electronic device 1 (110) acquires and reproduces the first content, and acquires and reproduces the second content. Playback is performed, and the third content is acquired and played back. At this time, the acquisition process of the next content may be advanced while one content is being played. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the content display area 610 of the user b is in the content display area 810 of the user b in which the first content is being played, and the content display area of the user b in which the second content is being played. In 820, the content display area 830 of the user b whose third content is being played back may be changed in order.

Further, when a specific condition is satisfied, the electronic device 1 (110) acquires a URL for a part of the video content other than the above video content in the specific video content set from the content providing server 720. The URL list may be expanded. At this time, if the order determined by the expanded URL list is the order of the first content to the sixth content, the electronic device 1 (110) may repeat the acquisition and reproduction of the content according to the determined order. .. In this case, the content display area 610 of the user b may be changed in order as in the content display areas 810 to 860 shown in FIG. If the content reproduction is continuously requested even after the content is reproduced up to the sixth content, the electronic device 1 (110) may repeatedly reproduce the moving image content from the first content.

In other words, the electronic device 1 (110) continuously plays the moving image content while the content display area is displayed on the screen. In this case, the longer the time that the content display area is displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110), the higher the probability that the same moving image content will be repeatedly played. Therefore, the electronic device 1 (110) may configure the cache memory to record the video content file once downloaded, and repeatedly reuse the video content file recorded in the cache memory. For example, the electronic device 1 (110) may record the once downloaded moving image content file in the cache memory in association with the corresponding URL. In addition, the cache memory is searched from the URL of the content to be played now, and if the video content file already downloaded from the corresponding URL exists, the corresponding file is reused to obtain the video content. You can reduce download and memory load times for files.

Such a content display area does not have to be limited to the home screen of a specific user, and the video content set does not have to be limited to the video content of a specific user. For example, it may be necessary to outline a portion of a particular category of video content within the entire video content, regardless of the user, or uploaded by another user who has a personal relationship with the user. Even if it is necessary to roughly confirm a part of the video content, it is possible for those skilled in the art to be able to modify and use the content providing method and system according to the embodiment of the present invention. For example, it can be easily understood from the above-described embodiment of the present invention.

Specific conditions for receiving additional content may include, for example, moving the content display area to the screen.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of moving the content display area to the screen in one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 9, the content display area 610 of the user b is moved from the screen by the user's flick gesture to the content display area 610 of the user b, and the content of the first portion (first content 910, second content 920) is moved by such movement. , And an example in which the list of the third content 930) is displayed.

At this time, the specific condition may be based on the movement of the user b on the screen of the content display area 610 by the input of the user. For example, by moving the content display area 610 of the user b on the screen, the entire list for the video content of the URL list is displayed on the screen (as an example, the video content additionally displayed in the video content list is displayed. (If not) may be the specific condition described above. In this case, the electronic device 1 (110) may generate a content addition request and transmit it to the content providing server 710, and the content providing server 710 may generate a content addition request and transmit it to the content providing server 710 in addition to the video content included in the video content set according to the content addition request. The URL for a part of the above may be transmitted to the electronic device 1 (110), and the electronic device 1 (110) may expand the URL list by using the received URL.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example for explaining the reproduction of additional content in one embodiment of the present invention. As described above, the electronic device 1 (110) further utilizes the content newly added by expanding the URL list (for example, the fourth content 1010, the fifth content 1020, and the sixth content 1030 in FIG. 10). You may decide the video content to be played. Further, FIG. 10 shows that the list of moving image contents appeared by the movement of the content display area 610 of the user b on the screen includes all the moving image contents of the expanded URL list.

If the video content of the expanded URL list is displayed on the screen at least once and there is no additional content to display from the list of video content, the content addition request may be propagated to the content providing server 710 again, and the other one again. The URL for the moving image content of the unit may be provided to the electronic device 1 (110). In this case, the electronic device 1 (110) expands the URL list again. Therefore, such an expansion process of the URL list may be repeated until a specific condition is repeated or the moving image content that additionally provides the URL does not remain in the moving image content set.

As one embodiment, the content display area described in the embodiment of the present invention may be realized on the user profile screen. At this time, a list for a part of the video posted by the user is arbitrarily recommended on the user profile screen, and the video of the list may be automatically played back in the content display area realized on the user profile screen. At this time, instead of forcibly selecting a large number of bulletins as targets, an arbitrary reproduction target may be selected by paging in a certain unit. In addition, in order to naturally connect the playback of the bulletin boards, after overlapping the video surface view (SurfaceView) twice, the effect of connecting like one image by cross fade in / out (Fade in / out). May be given. The double-layered front (Front) area and back (Back) area each load the metadata of the video in advance, and realize the playback of the video content so that the phenomenon of interruption due to the load time at the time of cross playback does not occur. It's okay. After being played once, the video content can be played quickly and efficiently without data communication if there is a locally recorded cache.

For example, the load time of the video content may cause a delay in the continuous playback of the video content. Therefore, in order to prevent such a delay, it is possible to continuously play the moving image content without delay by using the layer switching by the two layers.

FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining an example of layer switching in one embodiment of the present invention. The electronic device 1 (110) loads the second content and loads the first layer while the first content is loaded and the first content is played on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) on the first layer 1110. It may be reproduced by the second layer 1120 located below 1110. The first layer 1110 and the second layer 1120 may be arranged horizontally at the same position as the content display area, and may have the same size as the content display area. Also, initially, the first layer 1110 may be overlaid above the second layer 1120. At this time, the content actually reproduced on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) may be the first content, and the second layer 1120 on which the second content is reproduced is not displayed by the first layer 1110. At this time, the electronic device 1 (110) switches between the first layer 1110 and the second layer 1120 when the reproduction of the first content is completed, and the second content is displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) on the second layer 1120. May be done.

Since the content display area is an area for roughly checking the video content of a specific video content set, it is not always necessary for the video content to be played from the beginning, and in particular, the content that is repeatedly played is at the time of its start. Since the importance of is not high, it does not matter if the two contents are played together at the same time or at a certain time difference.

Further, the electronic device 1 (110) loads the third content and reproduces it on the first layer 1110 while the second content is being played on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) on the second layer 1120. good. In this case, the third content of the first layer 1110 located below the second layer 1120 is not displayed. At this time, when the reproduction of the second content is completed, the electronic device 1 (110) switches between the first layer 1110 and the second layer 1120 again, and the third content being reproduced is the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). It may be displayed in.

In this way, by playing back the two moving image contents by the two layers and switching between the layers, it is possible to prevent a delay due to the loading time when the moving image contents are continuously played back. Further, the first layer 1110 and the second layer 1120 may correspond to the double overlapping front (Front) region and back (Back) region as described above. In other words, while the first content is being played back in the first layer 1110, the metadata of the second content is loaded in advance in the second layer 1120, so that the first layer 1110 and the second layer 1110 and the second are accompanied by the end of the playback of the first content. When the layer 1120 is switched, it is possible to prevent the phenomenon that the moving image reproduction is interrupted due to the loading time due to the cross reproduction.

FIG. 12 is a block diagram showing an example of components that can be included in a processor of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 13 is a block diagram showing an example of a component that can be included in the processor of the electronic device, and FIG. 13 is an execution by the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present invention. It is a flowchart which showed the example of the content provision method which can be done.

FIG. 12 shows the processor 212 of the electronic device 1 (110) described above. As shown in FIG. 12, the processor 212 includes a video content requesting unit 1210, a URL list receiving unit 1220, an ordering unit 1230, and a moving image. It includes a content reproduction unit 1240, and may optionally further include a content addition request unit 1250 and a URL list extension unit 1260. Such a processor 212 and the components of the processor 212 may perform steps 1310 to 1360 included in the content providing method of FIG. The processor 212 and the components of the processor 212 execute an instruction by the code of the operating system included in the memory 211 or the code of at least one computer program (for example, an application for a content providing service provided by a content providing server). It may be realized as follows. Here, the components of the processor 212 may be representations of different functions of the processor 212 that are executed by the processor 212 according to the control instructions provided by the code recorded in the electronic device 1 (110). For example, the moving image content requesting unit 1210 may be used as a functional expression of the processor 212 that controls the electronic device 1 (110) so that the processor 212 requests the moving image content according to the above-mentioned control instruction.

In step 1310, the video content requesting unit 1210 responds to a request for displaying a preset content display area related to the service provided by the content providing server on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110), and is preset. You may request the content providing server for the video content related to the content display area. Here, in the preset content display area, the video content may be played with the video content set related to the service provided by the content providing server as the playback target, and the video content played in the preset content display area. May be requested by the content providing server. The content providing server may correspond to the above-mentioned content providing server (as an example, the content providing server 710 of FIG. 7), and may be realized by the server 150 described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. Such a content providing server may manage a content display area associated with a specific video content set. For example, in the case of a service that provides content uploaded by a user to the user, the content providing server may manage a set of content uploaded for each user, and allocates and manages at least one content display area for each user. It's okay. The video content set related to such a content display area may be determined by the identifier of the corresponding user or the identifier of the content display area, and the video content requesting unit 1210 attempts to display a specific content display area on the screen. If so, by sending a request containing an identifier related to the content display area to the content providing server, the content providing server determines the set of video content to be displayed in the content display area based on the identifier. May be.

In step 1320, the URL list receiving unit 1220 is a URL list including a URL for accessing a part of the video content of the video content set related to the preset content display area from the content providing server via the network. May be received. As described above, the content providing server may determine the video content set according to the request, generate a URL list for a part of the video content included in the determined video content set, and generate the electronic device 1 (110). ) May be sent. The moving image content included in the determined moving image content set may include the content uploaded by the first user to which the corresponding content display area is allocated. As described above, a part of the video content may be a random method or may be selected according to various conditions such as the upload date of the content.

In step 1330, the order determination unit 1230 may sequentially or randomly determine the moving image content to be played in the preset content display area using the URL list. Substantially, step 1330 may be a process of selecting the video content to be played, and the order of the video content to be played in the preset content display area using the indicator list is in the video content set. It may be a process of determining from.

In step 1340, the video content playback unit 1240 acquires the determined video content using the corresponding URL in the URL list according to the determined order of the video content, and is determined in the preset content display area. The video content may be played in the order in which it was acquired. Stage 1340 is a process of acquiring video content using the corresponding directives in the indicator list according to the determined order of the video content, and playing the video content in the preset content display area in the order in which the video content was acquired. It's okay. As described above, the embodiment of the present invention is for providing an area (for example, a preview area) for substantially confirming the video content included in the specific video content set, and the specific moving image. It is not necessary to play all the video contents of the content set or the video contents included in the URL list. For example, when playing randomly selected video content, the same video content may be continuously selected, or there may be video content that is not played.

In the stage 1350, the content addition request unit 1250 uses the content via the network based on the movement of the preset content display area to the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) by the input of the user of the electronic device 1 (110). An additional request may be sent to the content provider. At this time, the content addition request unit 1250 acquires at least a part of the video content by the URL list received by moving the electronic device 1 (110) in the preset content display area on the screen, and the electronic device 1 It is displayed in parallel on the screen of (110), and the moving image content generated by the URL list generates a content addition request based on the occupancy displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) and sends it to the content providing server. You can do it. For example, as described with reference to FIG. 9, in the list of video contents displayed by moving the content display area, when all the video contents by the URL list are displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110). , The content addition request unit 1250 may send the content addition request to the content providing server. As another example, when a certain number of video contents in the video content by the URL list are displayed on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) as a list of the video contents, or conversely, among the video contents by the URL list. If the number of video contents that are not displayed as a list of video contents is less than the preset number, a content addition request may be sent. The display of such a list of video contents may be based on the movement of the content display area by the input of the user. As another example, a content addition request may be sent each time the content display area is moved by user input. Such a content addition request may be repeated each time a specific condition based on the movement of the content display area is met, and until all the video content of the video content set is received.

In the stage 1360, the URL list expansion unit 1260 from the content providing server to a part of the video content other than the video content in the video content set, that is, a part of the video content other than the video content in the video content set according to the content addition request. The URL list may be expanded by receiving the URL for access. The content providing server may confirm the URL for some other video contents from the video content set and transmit the URL to the electronic device 1 (110) according to the content addition request. At this time, the URL list expansion unit 1260 may expand the URL list by adding the URL transmitted by the content providing server to the URL list.

In this way, since a part of the video content of the specific video content set is continuously played and provided, the area that can be roughly confirmed for the video content of the specific video content set is more efficient. Can be provided to the user. In addition, the URL list for determining the video content to be played can be expanded by the input of the user. According to such an embodiment of the present invention, it is not necessary to transmit the video content of a specific video content set at a time, so that it is possible to distribute or reduce the traffic for transmitting the video content, and the user can use the embodiment. From the terminal point of view, the data cost for downloading video content can be reduced.

Such video content has a preset frame rate when the electronic device of the first user (for example, the electronic device 2 (120)) for shooting the video content shifts to the video shooting mode using the camera. Based on (FPS), the preview video input to the camera is captured, and the captured preview video is generated by applying at least one time fake effect from a plurality of preset time fake effects. good. The preview video may mean the video input to the camera module before the user starts shooting (recording) when the camera module is executed on the electronic device, and the MP4 can be recorded by the end of the video shooting (recording). It may mean a frame before a video file is generated in a specific video format such as. Since such frames are images that do not have a specific video format to enhance the compression effect, you are free to explore, extract, and control the frames (for example, speeding up the frame playback speed or frame playback speed). You can apply time fake effects such as slowing down or changing the playback order of frames from forward to reverse).

Further, as described with reference to FIG. 11, in the continuous reproduction of the moving image content, the first layer and the second layer may be used in order to prevent a delay due to the loading time. For example, in stage 1340, the video content reproduction unit 1240 loads the first video content in the order in which the video content is acquired and reproduces it in the first layer corresponding to the position of the preset content display area. In the meantime, the second video content is loaded and played on the second layer located below the first layer, and the position of the first layer and the second layer is switched when the playback of the first video content ends. , The second moving image content may be played on the second layer.

Not only this, the video content may include information about the date and position where the video content was shot, and the video content to be played is shot on the screen of the electronic device 1 (110) on which the acquired video content is played. Information about the date and location of the date may be displayed together. Further, in addition to the information regarding the date and position, various information such as the number of recommendations and the number of comments may be displayed together with the corresponding video content.

At step 1510, the video content management unit 1410 may manage the video content uploaded by the user for each user. For example, 100 video contents from the video content 1 to the video content 100 uploaded by the user A may be classified and managed as one video content set in association with the identifier of the user A.

In step 1520, the content display area management unit 1420 may allocate at least one content display area for each user. For example, a content display area for roughly confirming the content of the user A may be allocated for the user A, and the content display area may identify a moving image content set managed in relation to the user A. For example, the content display area may include the identifier of the corresponding moving image content set or the identifier of the user A. As another example, the identifier of the user A and the identifier of the content display area assigned to the user A may be managed in correspondence with each other on the server 150, and the identifier of the user A and the video content uploaded by the user A may be managed with each other. By managing them in correspondence with each other, the moving image content set of the user A may be identified by the identifier of the content display area.

At step 1530, the moving image content request receiving unit 1430 may receive a request for moving image content related to the preset content display area from the electronic device. The moving image content to be played back in the preset content display area may be received from the electronic device on the content providing server. Here, the electronic device may correspond to the above-mentioned electronic device 1 (110). Further, the request for the moving image content related to the preset content display area may include the identifier of the content display area, or may include the identifier of the user corresponding to the content display area. Such an identifier may be understood as identification information for matching the content display area and the set of video content uploaded by the user to which the content display area is assigned.

In step 1540, the URL list transmission unit 1440 confirms the video content set of the user to which the preset content display area is assigned among the video content sets managed for each user, and is confirmed via the network. A URL list of URLs for accessing a part of the video content included in the video content set may be transmitted to the electronic device. At this time, as described above, the electronic device may determine, acquire, and reproduce the moving image content for reproduction based on the URL list.

In addition, the electronic device is realized to send a content addition request to the content providing server via the network based on the movement of the preset content display area on the screen of the electronic device by the input of the user of the electronic device. It's okay.

At step 1550, the content addition request receiving unit 1450 may receive the content addition request from the electronic device.

At stage 1560, the URL information providing unit 1460 is for accessing a part of the video content other than the above-mentioned video content in the video content set, that is, a part of the video content in the video content set, in accordance with the content addition request. The URL may be sent to the electronic device.

At this time, the electronic device may receive the URL from the content providing server and expand the URL list that has already been received. In addition, the expanded URL list may be used to determine and acquire video content for playback, and the acquired video content may be played back.
