User Creative Contents Edit and Service Method

The present invention relates to a user-created content editing and service method, and in particular, to create a user content by editing a video photographed through a video recording device and to register it with an Internet VOD server to provide it to the user through streaming It relates to a content editing and service method.

With the introduction of the concept of Web 2.0, which creates a core value through user participation based on an open service structure in the Internet service, the web is becoming more open and users' participation is greatly increasing.

According to this trend, user-generated content (UCC), which is user-generated content, is emerging as a keyword of the Internet. Such UCC is becoming a major revenue source for video portal sites and search portal sites. Recently, the direction of development into PCC (Professional or Proteur (Professional + Amateur) Created Contents), which means video contents taken by non-general amateurs who are not ordinary people, is being explored. The term CCC (Corporate Created Contents), which stands for UCC marketing using logos, is emerging.

As a result, video UCC specialty sites were created in random order, while portal sites, which were representative of the existing Internet, began to provide video UCC-related services, and even telecommunications companies began to provide UCC-related services.

However, the UCC-related services provided by such conventional portal sites or telecommunication companies have some problems with rapid growth.

One such problem is the copyright issue. Since UCC service is an important revenue for UCC service providing portal sites and telecommunications companies, there are many discussions about revenue model distribution and copyright scope. I have a lot of possession.

In addition, there are privacy issues, such as privacy violations such as not only personal privacy exposure due to various elements of UCC video, for example, personal information exposure and background exposure, but also other users. There is this.

On the other hand, hardware development is progressing in diversified service areas, such as IPTV (IP Television), mobile service, and two-way communication, but in reality, various services and services are insufficient due to lack of various applications and contents. I can't do it. Therefore, there is a demand for securing various contents that can satisfy the needs of users.

The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the problems of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a service by registering the image on the Internet VOD server after the user directly photographs the image and edits the photographed image to produce the user content The present invention provides a method for editing and serving user-generated content.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of editing and serving a user-produced content according to an embodiment of the present invention. Editing to produce user content; Uploading and registering the created user content to an Internet VOD server through a network; Searching for user-generated content registered in the Internet VOD server according to a user's request through a search box provided by the search module of the internet VOD server, and displaying the searched user-generated content result on a screen; .

The producing of the user content may include receiving an image captured by the image photographing apparatus, separating the foreground and the background included in the image, and synthesizing the virtual background image provided through the foreground image and the blue screen from which the background is separated. And editing the image synthesized with the virtual background image to produce user content.

The image searched by the search module in the Internet VOD server and displayed to the user may be selected and displayed according to the number of times of confirmation by the user.

In addition, the image registered in the Internet VOD server is set in the order through the scheduler engine, and is compressed and registered through the encoding processing module according to the setting order, the encoding processing module compresses the user-generated content in the WMV3 video file format It is preferable.

The user-created content editing and service method according to the present invention can solve the copyright and user protection problems by allowing the user to directly edit the captured image to create the user content and register it on the Internet VOD server to provide a service through streaming. In addition, it is effective to provide various services by securing various user-generated contents.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
