Example

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a configuration of a terminal and a method of implementing a DCD service of the terminal according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, dynamic content delivery (DCD) refers to a client-server based on a content service that is configured to deliver personalized content to a terminal periodically. The DCD service communicates between a DCD provider and an end-user. And a series of methods and functions that enable interaction.

1 is a configuration diagram of a DCD service support terminal and a server according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is an exemplary diagram of a DCD service screen implemented in the terminal shown in FIG. 1.

Hereinafter, FIG. 5 will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

First, as shown in FIG. 1, the DCD service support terminal 100 includes a user profile 110, a first module 120, and a second module 130.

The user profile 110 may include a condition set by the user or a condition set by analyzing a content usage pattern of the user. In this case, the condition may preferably be at least one of a geographical position change of the terminal, arrival of a specified time point, whether to receive content within a preset specific category range, and a value input from the outside.

Such a user profile 110 may preferably be stored in a removable memory means such as a subscriber identification module (SIM) or a user identification module (UIM). Here, the SIM and UIM is a smart card detachable to the terminal, and may be composed of a microprocessor and a memory chip, which will be apparent to those skilled in the art and will not be described in more detail.

When the condition included in the user profile 110 is met, the first module 120 generates a DCD event and requests a DCD service according to the type of the generated event. And a device capable of periodically receiving corresponding user-customized content. The first module 120 may be configured with a processor and an RF transceiver, for example, although not shown, but will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

The user-customized content may be content within a preset specific category range or content of a specific channel, and more specifically, music, video, still image, cartoon, e-book, game, news, weather information, stock information, exchange rate. At least one of the information, the traffic guide information, the surrounding area guide, and the information related to the specific area.

In addition, whether the condition is satisfied may be determined by monitoring whether the terminal 100 or the DCD server 200 meets the condition, or by a value received from an external device, that is, a user directly gives a command. . For example, when the condition reaches 8:30 am, when the time is reached, the first module 120 may provide a service necessary for the time, namely weather information and news as shown in FIG. 5A. And receive e-mail. As another example, when the condition is a geographic location movement, if the geographic location movement of the terminal 100 is confirmed, the first module 120 may detect traffic conditions, surrounding area information, or specific information as illustrated in FIG. 5B. Receive information related to the area. As another example, when the condition is satisfied by directly instructing a user to receive content within a specific category range or a specific channel, the first module 120 sets the specific category range preset by the user. Content within a specific channel, such as exchange rate information as shown in FIG. 5C, or information such as music, music videos, entertainment news. These examples may be appropriately combined. For example, when the condition is satisfied by directly instructing a user to receive content within a predetermined category range or content of a specific channel, the first module 120 may, for example, If the above-described music, music video, etc. can be received, and the movement of the geographic location of the terminal 100 is confirmed, the first module 120 may provide traffic information, surrounding area information, or information related to a specific area. Can be received.

Meanwhile, the first module 120 may further receive broadcast content from the DCD server 200 when the condition is not satisfied or when the condition is not satisfied. That is, the first module 120 may receive broadcast content, but may stop receiving the broadcast content when the condition is met. In this case, the broadcast content is content that the DCD server broadcasts periodically to an unspecified number of terminals. As such, stopping the reception of the broadcast content is first to prevent excessive billing of the communication fee that may be imposed on the terminal 100, and secondly, by simultaneously receiving and driving various contents, This is to avoid confusion.

In addition, when a condition different from the satisfied condition is satisfied, the first module 120 may generate an event corresponding to the other condition and stop receiving the driving user-defined content. In addition, the first module 120 may receive user-customized content corresponding to the other condition. In this case, the other condition may be at least one of a position change, a specified time arrival, and an input value from the outside.

The second module 130 is a device capable of driving the user-customized content and the broadcast content received from the DCD server. In this case, the driving may be playing the user-customized content and broadcast content, that is, displaying the contents or outputting a sound included in the contents. Such, the playback may be preferably to play only the title or part of the content, the playback of the title or part of the content may be in the form of tickers (ticker). This is to provide the content to the user visually and efficiently, so that the entire content is reproduced so as not to interfere with other functions of the terminal 100. However, when there is an external request for content reproduced only in the title or a part, that is, a request from a user, the first module 120 may receive additional information, and the second module 130 may receive additional information. Can play it.

Although not illustrated, the second module 130 described above may include, for example, a display unit and a sound output unit, which will be apparent to those skilled in the art and will not be described in more detail.

 The DCD server 200 is a device that provides the user-customized content or the broadcast content when the terminal 100 determines that the preset condition is satisfied. In this case, the DCD server 200 may provide the user-customized content appropriately by previously setting and storing the user-customized content matching the preset condition of the terminal 100 from the user.

The DCD server 200 may recognize that the preset condition is satisfied in the terminal 100 by receiving a request of the terminal 100, or the DCD server 200 directly recognizes the terminal ( It may be recognized by monitoring whether the condition of 100) is met.

The DCD server 200 may stop transmission of the broadcast content when transmitting the user-customized content. This is to prevent the communication fee from being excessively imposed on the terminal 100.

In addition, when the DCD server 200 determines that a new condition different from the satisfied condition is newly satisfied in the terminal 100, the DCD server 200 stops the transmission of the user-customized content and provides the user-customized content corresponding to the other condition. Can transmit

The transmission by the DCD server 200 may be to transmit only the title or part of the content. However, when there is a request from the terminal 100, the DCD server 200 may transmit detailed information about the content in which the title or part is transmitted. In this case, the DCD server 200 may charge the terminal 100 for the detailed information. The technical details of the paid billing are obvious to those skilled in the art, and thus no separate description will be made.

The DCD server 200 described above, for example, may be configured as a processor, a network interface, and a storage device as shown in the art, although not shown.

Up to now, the DCD support terminal 100 and the DCD server 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention have been described with a focus on the configuration. Based on this configuration, the operation will be described in more detail below.

FIG. 2 is an exemplary operation flowchart between a terminal and a server shown in FIG. 1.

(1) First, the DCD support terminal 100 boots.

(2) Next, the second module 130 of the terminal 100 drives default content. Here, the default content may be summary information about contents that can be received. Alternatively, the default content may be summary information on content previously received by the terminal.

(3) The DCD support terminal 100 requests a login to the DCD server 200.

(4) The DCD server 200 receiving the login request confirms whether the DCD support terminal 100 is subscribed and grants the login request. Then, the DCD support terminal 100 is in a standby state to receive the DCD service from the DCD server 200.

(5) The DCD server 200 transmits broadcast content.

(6) Then, the first module 120 of the DCD support terminal 100 receives the broadcast content and delivers it to the second module 130.

(7) The second module 130 drives the received broadcast content. Here, the driving of the broadcast content may be displaying or reproducing a title or part of the content as described above.

(8) After that, when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the DCD support terminal 100, the first module 120 generates a DCD event and requests a DCD service according to the type of the generated DCD event. The DCD SERVICE REQUEST message is transmitted to the DCD server 200. Here, the condition may preferably be at least one of a geographical position change of the terminal, arrival of a designated time point, whether to receive content within a preset specific category range, and a value received from the outside.

As shown in FIG. 3, the DCD event may include a ModuleID parameter for identifying where the signal occurred and an EventType parameter for defining the generated event. In addition, the DCD SERVICE REQUEST message is preferably a RequestID parameter indicating a unique ID for the content requested by the first module 120, as shown in Figure 3, and the DCD server 200 May include a DCDEventType parameter informing event type information so that the terminal 100 can find the requested content.

(9) The DCD server 200 receives the DCD service request message and transmits the content of the corresponding event type to the GENERATE CONTENT message according to the DCDEventType parameter included in the DCD request message to the terminal 100. do.

In this case, the GENERATE CONTENT message may include a SERVICE Result parameter of Boolean type, as shown in FIG. 3. Therefore, when the DCD server 200 finds the content of the event, the DCD server 200 includes the SERVICE Result parameter having the TRUE value together with the content in the GENERATE CONTENT message and transmits the content. If the content of the event is not found, the DCD server 200 returns the FALSE value. The branch can be transmitted by including the SERVICE Result parameter in the GENERATE CONTENT message. Meanwhile, as described above, the user-customized content may be content within a preset specific category range or content of a specific channel, and more specifically, music, video, still image, cartoon, e-book, game, news, It may be at least one of weather information, stock information, exchange rate information, traffic guide information, surrounding area guide, and information related to a specific area.

(10) Then, the first module 120 transmits the user-customized content included in the GENERATE CONTENT message received from the DCD server 200 to the second module 130. The first module 120 generates a DCD EVENT FINISHED. In this case, the DCD EVENT FINISHED may include any one of a PROCESS_COMPLETE parameter indicating that the job has been completed successfully and a PROCESS_FAIL parameter indicating that the job has failed, as shown in FIG. 3.

(11) The second module 130 drives the received user-customized content.

Until now, the first module 120 of the DCD support terminal 100 has been described as requesting a DCD service and receiving the user-customized content when the condition is satisfied, but the DCD server 200 the condition May be monitored to provide customized content without the request. For example, when the condition is the geographical location movement of the terminal as described above, the DCD server 200 uses a satellite positioning system (Global Positioning: GPS) to locate the position of the DCD support terminal 100. When the location is changed and the location is changed, user-customized content such as traffic guidance information and surrounding guidance information may be transmitted.

FIG. 4 is an exemplary flowchart of a DCD service providing method that may be implemented in the terminal illustrated in FIG. 1.

As can be seen with reference to FIG. 4, first, broadcast content is received from a DCD server (S101). Subsequently, the received broadcast content is driven (S102).

Thereafter, when a specific condition among one or more predetermined conditions is satisfied (S103), user-customized content corresponding to the condition is received (S104). Then, the received user-customized content is driven (S105). Here, since the user-customized content is the same as described above, it will be applied mutatis mutandis.

Then, when the user requests detailed information about the received content (S106), the detailed information about the content is requested to the DCD server and received (S107). Then, the received detailed information is driven (S108). Here, the detailed information may be, for example, when the received user-customized content is traffic guide information, where is a section to be communicated with, or how much is a delayed section. Alternatively, the detailed information may be, for example, weather information for one week when the received user-customized content is weather information of the day.

Thereafter, if another one of the preset one or more conditions is satisfied (S109), the process returns to step S104 to repeat the process of receiving the user-customized content corresponding to the condition. Here, when the other condition is satisfied, the user-customized content corresponding to the specific condition which is the previous condition may no longer be received.

However, if another one of the one or more preset conditions is not satisfied (S109), the process of receiving broadcast content from the DCD server may be repeated. Or if the other condition is not met, the whole process can be terminated or put into a waiting state.

In the above description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention by way of example, the scope of the present invention is not limited only to these specific embodiments, the present invention is in various forms within the scope of the spirit and claims of the present invention Can be modified, changed, or improved.

As described above, the present invention has an advantage of providing a terminal user with customized content, so that the user can access the content more conveniently. Specifically, the present invention has an advantage of providing content in a timely manner by providing customized content corresponding to a condition set in advance by a user.
