3 is a flowchart illustrating a content production method according to the present invention.

3, a content production method according to the present invention will be described. Each step to be described below are steps performed by each component included in the content production server 130 described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, but the content production server 130 is provided for convenience of understanding and explanation. It will be described collectively as being performed. Therefore, the subject performing the steps described below can be omitted.

First, before the step S310, that is, before the step of reading the image data at the request of the user, the main server receives a plurality of user requests and searches for a content production server capable of producing faster content among the two or more content production servers. (Not shown) and the main server may distribute the user's request with priority to the content production server capable of rapid content production and transmit a work instruction to the content production server (not shown). .

When a large amount of content production requests are received simultaneously or sequentially from a plurality of users, the main server selects a server capable of processing the work quickly among the plurality of content production servers and distributes the workload by prioritizing them for rapid content production. It is for.

In step S310, when a content production command is received from the user terminal 110-n, image data is read according to a user's request (step S320). That is, the user can operate the user terminal 110-n to select the image data to be edited, whereby the user terminal 110-n can generate a content command (that is, a content production command) for content creation. The production server 130 may transmit. In this case, the content production command may include format information and category information, whereby the content production server 130 may read out corresponding image data.

In operation S330, the effect data corresponding to the request of the user and / or the image data is read. In this case, the controller 220 may use the format information and / or category information received from the user terminal 110-n. That is, each of the effect data may include preset format information and / or category information, so that the content production server 130 has the same format as the effect information and / or category information received from the user terminal 110-n. Effect data including information and / or category information may be read from the effect data storage 210-2. For example, when the format information received from the user terminal 110-n is AVI and the category information is a movie, the content production server 130 analyzes the format information and / or category information preset in the effect data and receives the received format information. Effect data corresponding to the format information and / or category information may be read by the effect data storage 210-2.

In operation S340, sound source data corresponding to text information received from the user terminal 110-n is generated. That is, the user may generate text information by operating the user terminal 110-n and transmit the text information to the content production server 130, whereby the content production server 130 uses the prestored syllable data to transmit the text information. Corresponding sound source data can be generated. Here, the syllable data is data generated by recording in syllable units. If the text information corresponds to [text information], the syllable data corresponding to [text] and the syllable data corresponding to [information] are used. Can be generated as described above.

In operation S350, one or more of the read image data, the effect data, and the sound source data are combined according to a preset method to generate the request content. For example, the user terminal 110-n such that the effect data read out from 01 minutes 00 seconds to 01 minutes 30 seconds of the image data is combined at the upper left, and the sound source data is combined from 02 minutes 00 seconds of the image data. In this case, the content production server 130 may combine the effect data read in each frame from 01 minutes 00 seconds to 01 minutes 30 seconds of the image data to the requested position. In addition, the content production server 130 may be coupled to the sound source data generated from 02 minutes 00 seconds of the image data. That is, the user may operate the user terminal 110-n to transmit information on the time, location, and / or time when the sound source data is to be combined to the content production server 130, thereby producing the content. The server 130 may generate the request content by combining the effect data and / or the sound source data with the image data read in response to the user's request.

In step S360, the request content generated to correspond to the user terminal 110-n is encoded. For example, it is assumed that the user terminal 110-n is a mobile communication terminal 110-3, and only video data of MP4 format is reproduced in the mobile communication terminal 110-n. At this time, the content production server 130 analyzes the information about the user stored in advance to recognize that the user terminal is the mobile communication terminal (110-n) and controls to be encoded in the MP4 format when the request content is not in the MP4 format.

In operation S370, the encoded request data is transmitted to the user terminal 110-n.

As a result, it is obvious that the user can easily create desired content without specialized knowledge of image data. Therefore, when the user selects the image data, the effect data to be combined with the image data to be edited, and generates text data about the dialogue to be combined with the image data and transmits it to the content production server 130, the desired request content is generated. Can be.

The above-described content production method according to the present invention can be embodied as computer readable codes on a computer readable recording medium. Computer-readable recording media include all kinds of recording media having data stored thereon that can be decrypted by a computer system. For example, there may be a read only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a magnetic tape, a magnetic disk, a flash memory, an optical data storage device, and the like. In addition, the computer-readable recording medium may be distributed and executed in a computer system connected to a computer network, and may be stored and executed as a code readable in a distributed manner.
