These embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Only. Therefore, the definition should be based on the contents throughout this specification.

1 is a diagram illustrating a system for providing a public cloud service using a tag according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1, the public cloud service providing system of the present invention includes a tag 10, a mobile terminal 20, and a cloud server 30 so that the mobile terminal 20 can communicate with a cloud server 30) and provide cloud service.

The tag 10 is implemented as a tag that can be printed or attached to various products such as a QR code and an NFC tag and can store predetermined information on a link address and a tag identifier for an Internet account in which a plurality of contents are stored.

The mobile terminal 20 may be implemented as an electronic device having a communication function such as a smart phone, a tablet PC, a PDA, or the like and portable by a user. In particular, it has a camera and a tag recognition program, reads the tag 10 through them, accesses the link address stored in the tag 10, and performs content search and browse operations.

The cloud server 30 stores and manages a plurality of contents such as an image file, a document file, a moving image file, various streaming information, and the like, and can serve these contents to the mobile terminal 20 in a cloud manner.

The cloud service method according to the present invention is a method in which a user opens a public account accessible by a plurality of users rather than establishing a personal account and providing the cloud service through the personal account, So that they can freely access their accounts and receive cloud services.

However, in the case of providing a cloud service through a public account, the content registered in the public account can be unconditionally provided to a plurality of users connected to the public account. In such a case, the content provider do.

Accordingly, in the present invention, the degree of disclosure is differentiated for each content, thereby minimizing the information disclosure burden on the content provider. That is, the cloud server 30 according to the present invention registers a plurality of contents in a shared account and provides a cloud service to the shared account. As shown in FIG. 2, the content type (public contents, protected contents) (For example, a first grade that can be viewed directly, a second grade that allows viewing and downloading only), a sharing view using downloading, email, and SNS The third level) in advance, and accordingly, provide a different method of providing cloud services.

3 is a view for explaining a method of providing a public cloud service using a tag according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and it relates to a method for varying the degree of content provision according to the content type, security information, and security level.

When the user reads the tag 10 through the mobile terminal 20, the mobile terminal 20 reads the information stored in the tag 10 (S10).

After the mobile terminal 20 generates security information through at least one of the phone number of the mobile terminal, the device identifier, or the tag identifier stored in the tag 10, And accesses the cloud server 30 that provides a plurality of contents to the cloud service through the information. In step S11, security information is provided while requesting permission to connect to the cloud server 30.

In response, the cloud server 30 permits connection of the mobile terminal 20 and receives and stores security information. Then, the mobile terminal 20 selects a content to be browsed by referring to the content list (S12), and confirms whether the content is the protected content or the open content (S13 ).

If the content selected by the mobile terminal 20 is a protected content, the security information mapped to the protected content is compared with the security information transmitted by the mobile terminal 20, . That is, the mobile terminal 20 confirms the content usage right based on the security information previously provided by the mobile terminal 20 (S14).

At this time, the security information mapped to the protected content may be composed of at least one of a phone number of the mobile terminal, a device identifier, or a tag identifier stored in the tag 10, such as security information transmitted by the mobile terminal 20, The security information mapped to the mobile terminal 20 and the security information provided by the mobile terminal 20 have the same information form. For example, when the security information mapped to the protected content is implemented by the phone number of the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal 20 generates and provides security information with its own phone number.

If it is confirmed in step S14 that the mobile terminal 20 has the usage right of the protected content (S15), the mobile terminal 20 confirms the security level mapped to the protected content (S16) Accordingly, direct view, download, and content sharing functions are supported (S17).

For example, after dividing the content security level into the first to third grades, only the direct view function is supported for the first grade content, the direct view and download function is supported for the second grade content, In addition to the viewing and downloading functions, it is possible to support contents sharing function using e-mail, SNS etc.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S13 that the content selected by the mobile terminal 20 is the public content, the content usage right checking process and the content security rating checking process are not separately performed, (S18).

In the above description, it is possible to perform the service function differential support operation according to the content security level after the content usage right is confirmed, but if necessary, only the service function different support operation according to the content security level may be performed without checking the content use right It will be natural.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a method of providing a public cloud service using a tag according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

The cloud server 30 requests the mobile terminal 20 to provide contact information when the content is provided to the mobile terminal 20 in operation S20.

The mobile terminal 20 collects information on a telephone number, an SNS account, and an e-mail address with the user's consent, generates contact information, and provides the contact information to the cloud server 30 (S22).

Then, the cloud server 30 continuously monitors whether or not each of the plurality of contents is updated. If at least one of the plurality of contents is updated (S23), the cloud server 30 generates a push message for notifying the content update state (S24) , And provides it to the mobile terminal 20 (S25).

At this time, the cloud server 30 may provide a push message to all of the mobile terminals 20 having a history of access to the mobile terminal 20. However, in order to efficiently maximize information provisioning, .

Upon receiving the push message, the mobile terminal 20 displays the information included in the push message with the user's consent, thereby allowing the user to easily grasp the update status of the content without accessing the cloud server 30 separately (S26 ).

Of course, in order to facilitate the reconnection to the cloud server 30, the push message includes a link address for the Internet account in which the corresponding content is stored, and then the user clicks the corresponding link address to the cloud server 30 It is also possible to reconnect.

Also, if necessary, the push message may include all of the changed content content so that the mobile terminal 20 can automatically acquire the latest version of the content without reconnecting to the cloud server 30.

FIG. 5 is a view for explaining a public cloud service providing method using a tag according to a third embodiment of the present invention, which is related to a content importance calculating and notification method.

The cloud server 30 counts the number of times the content is provided (S30) every time content is provided to the mobile terminal 20 (S30), and calculates the content importance based on the count (S31).

In step S33, the content providing order is adjusted based on the content importance calculated in step S32 so that the user can preferentially check the content having a high content importance when searching for the next content.

The content importance calculated on the basis of the number of times of providing content can be utilized in various ways other than the above method. For example, a method of displaying content importance when a content list is provided, And a method of making it available as a reference for providing information.

In addition, the number of times of use of the content is additionally recorded in the tag 10, and each user can use the content only as many times as the number of times of use of the content recorded in the tag 10, thereby limiting the use of the cloud service.

This informs the mobile terminal 20 of the number of times of use of the content recorded in the tag 10 together with the security information of the mobile terminal 20 when accessing the cloud server of the mobile terminal 20. The cloud server 30 maps and stores the information, A method of determining whether content can be provided by comparing the number of times of providing a content with the number of times of using the content each time the content is provided to the terminal 20 may be performed.

FIG. 6 is a view for explaining a public cloud service providing method using a tag according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, which relates to a similar content recommendation method.

First, the cloud server 30 constructs a semantic web ontology based on metadata defining additional information such as a title, an author, a type (personality, a genre), a date, a language, a description, a topic, a relationship, an identifier, (S40).

When the mobile terminal 20 activates the similar content recommendation function (S41) and the specific content is selected (S42) in the state where the semantic web ontology is established, the cloud server 30 via the semantic web- And extracts contents having a high degree of similarity with the selected content (S43).

Then, in step S44, the content recommendation information for guiding the contents extracted through step S43 is generated and provided to the mobile terminal 20 so that the user can more easily grasp and access the content related to the currently selected content.
