Description

{PERSONAL MEDIA PLATFORM BRIDGING BETWEEN SETTOP BOX AND TV BASED ON HOME CLOUD}

The present invention relates to storage / sharing / management of images stored in a mobile device, and more particularly to a new media platform.

People take pictures. Using a smartphone with a built-in camera, you can easily take pictures anywhere, anytime. When you take a picture, an image file is created, and the file is stored in the memory of the smartphone.

As picture taking becomes routine, file capacity stored in memory increases. Not only photo files but also video files are created. Video files are stored with a much larger file capacity. Because the memory of mobile devices is limited, it eventually reaches its limit. The user then deletes the picture to solve the storage limit problem. Diligent users often move image files to other repositories, but often do not.

To solve this problem, the cloud service is known. When the user shoots the image on the smartphone, the image is stored in the cloud storage of the service provider in real time. It is very convenient, so many people are using it. However, a good technology solution does not always guarantee optimal effectiveness. First, when you analyze the cloud usage situation of users, they are vaguely storing files in the repository. Unnecessary photographs give rise to side effects. Users also rarely access and manage files stored in cloud storage. The second cloud service has a problem that the owner stores the personal file and the owner can not directly manage it. The dependence of the owner on the operator is bound to increase, and it is vulnerable to change / mismanagement (abuse and hacking) / abolishment of the service of the operator. In addition, personal privacy management and invasion problems also arise.

On the other hand, a photograph or a video file taken by a user as a device is a record relating to a certain place at a certain place. And the record will be reproduced sometime. Then the records become memories. The reproduction of such an image file is performed through the screen of the display device. Since smartphones and PCs are personal devices, playback on such devices is suitable for viewing on their own, but it is inconvenient for others, especially families. There is a clear need to share memories with family members.

The inventor of the present invention has long studied and tried to find a new way of satisfying the need to simultaneously share memories with family while solving the conventional storage problem of image / video files, and finally completed the present invention.

The object of the present invention is to simultaneously achieve the purpose of storing the image file of the first image in my device and the purpose of implementing the <family media> through my device. To this end, the present invention implements a special device positioning that has not been available in the past. By positioning new devices, we want to give users unprecedented functionality and experience.

The present inventor paid attention to TV. TV is in a space where family members are together. The concept of &quot; personal media among families &quot; to be implemented by the present invention includes enabling the family to view an image file together . Unlike cloud services, they are not viewed together on the web, but are viewed together through new device positioning. And its specific solution will be described herein.

On the other hand, it will be difficult to completely replace the cloud storage with the device of the present invention and the service using the device. However, as will be explained in more detail below, there will no doubt be a new market for complete control over the self-image file and the need to view or play it with the family. The present invention realizes new industrial applicability.

In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may obscure the subject matter of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a 4-cut image in order to intuitively illustrate the problem awareness and the solution direction of the present invention. As described above, and as can be seen in FIG. 1 (a), it is very difficult for an image file taken by today's users to manage it, unless it is too much of a will. The present invention intends to propose a solution for effectively solving the problem shown in Fig. 1 (a). In addition, a large number of users are currently using cloud services. However, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), there is no possibility that a provider providing cloud service suddenly declares a service interruption. Or there is a risk that the burden of the consumers (users) will be overloaded because the charged service fees are substantial. This is because the cloud service relies on a system that allows other people to keep the image files I take. The present invention is different from the conventional problems shown in Figs. 1 (a) and 1 (b). How the present invention transcends the prior art

1 (c). 1 shows a concept of viewing an image file stored in a smart phone through a TV. Because today's widely used TV screen size is more than 42 inches, it allows you to view your own pictures on a very large screen. Because of its large screen size, it will look much better than what you see on a mobile device. In addition, it will be easier to manage image files with a mobile device or a remote control because it is viewed on a wide screen. Whether the concept of 1 (c) will be realized by any principle will be explained in detail below.

The age range of users who use image files varies. Reaffirm the bond between parents and children with pictures and videos. The older you are, the more happy you are to see pictures of your children and their children (ie grandchildren). With a single image, a family can be emotionally bound together in a single video. Although I live far away from my children, I would be glad if I could easily see a picture of my granddaughter through a TV screen. Figure 1 (d) shows such a concept. And the present invention technically implements such a concept.

In this specification, &quot; image file &quot; means an image file that is photographed or stored in the user's mobile device. The <image file> includes video files as well as photo files.

2 schematically illustrates a system configuration according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

A home cloud device (HCD) 100 is positioned between the TV 1 and the set-top box 200. The set-top box 200 is connected to a broadcasting server 250 that provides channel images through the Internet network 50. The broadcast server 250 and its database 251 are conventionally used and hardware / software configurations obvious to those skilled in the art apply. Of course, the system of the present invention may be applied to add any service (s).

The broadcast content provided by the broadcast server 250 is output through the screen of the TV 10 via the HCD 100 connected to the set-top box 200.

In the present invention, the mobile device 300 and the HCD 100 wirelessly communicate with each other via a Wi-Fi network. The image file stored in the mobile device 300 is transmitted to the HCD 100 through the Wi-Fi network. Of course, although not shown, an AP supporting Wi-Fi local communication is installed.

The mobile device 300 of the present invention includes smart phones, tablet PCs, and other portable devices capable of photo taking and Wi-Fi communication. Mobile phone 300 pre-installed application software for home cloud-based mobile image management that supports close range communication with HCD 100 and data communication with service server 400. [

Meanwhile, the service server 400 operates the system of the present invention and provides a home cloud-based mobile image management service. Hardware and / or software equipment, and may be composed of a plurality of server groups. In addition, the service server 400 constructs and manages the database 410 storing user information, in particular an account and a mobile phone number. Although only one database is shown, it is displayed for convenience only. Logs, billing, advertisements, content, and the like.

In addition, when the HCD 100 and the mobile device 300 are synchronized, the service server 400 can communicate with the HCD 100 via the set-top box 200 via the Internet. Accordingly, the service server 400 can provide various services such as:

In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the service server 400 may push the image file or the text file to the HCD 100. The user can output the file received from the service server 400 through the TV 10 screen.

- VOD images can be provided through the user interface of the HCD 100 through the system interworking of the service server 400 and the broadcast server 250.

The cloud service of the cloud can be provided by providing an additional service for synchronizing the data stored in the HCD 100 and the data stored in the server 400. [ In other words, in addition to the home cloud function provided by the HCD 100, the service server 400 can configure the system so that the file stored in the HCD 100 can be retrieved.

- Schedule information, location information, etc. of mobile devices registered in advance in the service server 400 can be shared with each other via the HCD 100, and messages can be exchanged in real time.

.

Figure 3 schematically illustrates a scenario of the present invention as a family media in one preferred embodiment of the present invention.

In Fig. 3 there are two networks 1, 2. These networks 1 and 2 are usually constructed in the house with the system configuration described in Fig. TVs 10a and 10b, set top boxes 200a and 200b, HCDs 100a and 100b and mobile devices 300a and 300b. TV, HCD and set-top boxes are connected in turn via cables. Mobile devices and HCDs communicate with each other over a Wi-Fi network. These networks 1 and 2 are irrelevant in terms of hardware, and so are the two networks 1 and 2 in FIG. 3, as the network in the house in Seoul and the network in the house in Busan are quite different. However, the present invention realizes a home cloud-based family media service by pairing the networks 1 and 2 with each other.

For example, it would be convenient to understand that Network 1 is the home network and Network 2 is the parent's home network. Proceed with the registration process in advance. The mobile device 300b belonging to the network 2 subscribes to the service server 401 and installs the application to register the family relationship with the mobile device 300a belonging to the network 1. [ Preferably through authentication and authorization procedures. Thus, by pairing the mobile device 300a belonging to the network 1 and the mobile device 300b belonging to the network 2, the HCD 100a belonging to the network 1 and the HCD 100b belonging to the network 2 are naturally paired. The paired information is stored in the database 411.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, among the image files stored in the HCD 100a of the network 1 while the mobile devices 300a and 300b communicate with the service server 401, May be shared with the HCD 100b.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the service server 401 communicates with the HCD through the Internet network connected to the set-top box, as described in FIG. 2, to share image files among the networks. In the present embodiment, the HCDs 100a and 100b are registered in the server as paired devices in advance.

Network 1 and Network 2 are each closed by themselves. As shown in FIG. 3, the network 1 and the network 2 are paired with each other in a family relationship, so that the image file is shared, but the network (not shown) of the user other than the family is still closed. However, since the paired networks 1 and 2 can communicate with each other through two routes as described above, data communication such as exchanging messages or sharing a schedule can be executed as a TV screen. Therefore, the positioning of the HCDs 100a, 100b in the home has enabled the implementation of closed SNS among the family members. This is an excellent advantage of the present invention.

The user interface 155 includes a configuration for an image file management screen displayed on a TV screen. Executes the above-described management event through the user interface 155, and communicates with the devices of the paired network.

The update module 156 supports the function of receiving the image file stored in the mobile device and updating the image file stored in the memory when the mobile device registered in advance in the designated Wi-Fi network is recognized for a predetermined time. This mobile application automatically runs in the background to automatically classify image files that are not stored in HCD and save them as HCD.

The I / O interface 105 connects the first connector 120, the second connector 130, and the processor 101. The first connector 120 is connected to the TV interface of the set-top box, and the second connector 130 is connected to the external input terminal of the TV. Preferably, the external input terminal is an output terminal to which the set-top box is connected, more preferably an HDMI terminal.

The wireless communication module 140 is a module for performing short-range wireless communication with a previously registered mobile device in the vicinity, and includes a Bluetooth module and a Wi-Fi module.

The one or more processors 101 may execute various software programs and / or sets of instructions stored in the memory 110 to perform various functions and process data for the devices. That is, the processor 101 executes the operations of executing the computer code and generating and using the data. The processor 101 may also use a series of instructions to receive and process input and output data between components of the device.

Particularly, the elements executed by the processor 101 include an element for managing the image file stored in the memory 120 by executing the software module 150 described above and an element for managing the image file stored in the mobile An element for communicating with the device and processing the communication, and an element for transmitting an information screen of a set-top box image screen and a home cloud device (HCD) transmitted to the TV to a separate section and transmitting the information screen to a TV screen.

Figure 5 illustrates how the home cloud device of the present invention is positioned and connected in relation to other hardware devices.

5 (a) illustrates a typical connection between the set-top box 200 and the TV 10. Connected through a set-top box cable, both ends of the set-top box cable are labeled 1 and 2. This is an HDMI terminal. Assuming that the set-top box 200 and the TV 10 are connected in this state, how to connect the HCD in the present invention?

In some preferred embodiments, connection may be made as shown in FIG. 5 (b). The TV side terminal of the cable connecting the set top box 200 and the TV 10 is released. Connect the cable 2, which is disconnected from the external input terminal of the TV, to the first connector of the HCD 100c. Next, the second connector of the HCD 100c is connected to the HDMI terminal of the TV. 3 and 4, respectively.

In another preferred embodiment, the connection can be made as shown in FIG. 5 (c). Top-box terminal of the cable connecting the set-top box 200 and the TV 10, that is, the TV interface. Then connect one of the cables to the second connector of HCD 100d. Next, the first connector of the HCD 100d is connected to the TV interface of the set-top box. 5 and 6, respectively.

In yet another preferred embodiment, it may be connected as shown in Figure 5 (d). The cable of Fig. 5 (a) is not used. The set-top box cable connected to the TV 10 is disconnected from the external input terminals of the set-top box 200 and the TV 10 and then connected to the first connector of the HCD 100e and the set- And connects the second connector of the HCD 100e to the HDMI external input terminal of the TV 10. [ 7, 8, 9 and 10, respectively.

As described above, the home cloud device of the present invention is positioned between a conventional set-top box and a TV, and the connection is made in the same manner as the HDMI connection. This makes it possible to provide services without any conversion of external inputs. If it is not positioned as shown in FIG. 5, it is necessary to find a way to connect to another external input terminal installed on the TV. However, if you use a terminal other than the HDMI terminal that is connected to the set-top box, the user has to access the HCD after changing the screen to another external input path with the remote control. Also, screen matching becomes impossible.

.

6 schematically shows a video input / output method on a TV screen according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

In the present invention, the channel image transmitted from the set-top box through the external input terminal is displayed on the TV screen. The system is structured such that the image file stored in another hardware, that is, the home cloud device, is displayed on the TV screen through the same input terminal have. Therefore, it is preferable to perform a predetermined image processing configuration. This is because images can be simultaneously displayed on the TV from both hardware through image processing.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the HCD 100, a channel image input from the set-top box and an information screen of an image file stored in the memory are matched with separate sections. A TV screen area in which a channel image is displayed is allocated, and a TV screen area in which an information element of HCD is displayed is similarly allocated. In some embodiments, the screen areas are divided and allocated two-dimensionally. In still another embodiment, a new layer (e.g., a notification subtitle) is allocated on the screen. In another embodiment, if the user does not wish to separate the screen area on the TV screen because he / she watches the TV, the user can make an alarm or an audio alarm as shown in FIG. 7B.

The term &quot; matching &quot; used herein is interpreted to mean that the channel image of the set-top box 200 and the information element of the HCD 100 are simultaneously displayed on the TV display. The < information element > also includes information text and / or images relating to the image file stored in the HCD 100 memory, text and / or images relating to the message from the paired device received via communication only.

Preferably, the displayed information element can be configured to disappear automatically after a preset period of time.

Consider the display scenario of the TV screen of Fig. As shown in FIG. 7 (a), the channel image 11 of the set-top box does not occupy all of the TV screen and is somewhat reduced. Instead, the left or lower area is allocated to the information element area 12. When the TV and the set-top box are turned on for the first time, a screen as shown in Fig. 7 (a) is displayed. Then, it is possible to return to the normal screen by automatically disappearing after a predetermined time, or by operating the remote control of the user or the application screen of the mobile device. The normal screen refers to a screen in which only the channel image 11 and the information element area 12 disappear.

In addition, if the image file stored in the mobile device is updated to the HCD during watching the TV, it can be displayed as a text message &quot; New picture has been updated &quot;

Now, let us summarize the present invention once more conveniently from a process perspective. FIG. 8 illustrates an exemplary overall process of a method for managing a mobile image based on a home cloud through a set-top box and a TV according to the present invention.

As described in FIG. 5, the HCD is positioned and connected to the set-top box and the TV, respectively, and device registration is performed (S100). After step S100, the first connector of the home cloud device (HCD) is connected to the TV interface of the set-top box, and the second connector of the HCD and the external input terminal of the TV are connected. The set-top box is normally powered on. In this state, the TV is turned on (S110).

Then, the HCD matches the channel image screen of the set-top box and the information screen (information element) of the HCD as described with reference to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, and outputs simultaneously with a predetermined screen configuration (S120).

In this state, the user can select the HCD information screen, and then moves to the HCD information screen (S130). If you do not press the button, it returns to normal screen.

Execution of step S130 shows the user interface of the software module stored in the repository of the HCD. The user can execute various user action events related to the management of the image file stored in the HCD by using the TV remote controller or the remote control of the app screen of the mobile device (S140).

The TV screen is big. It is possible to manage various image files stored in HCD through a large screen. You can select and view the image file on the big screen. It has the advantage of being able to sit with my family and view pictures and videos together because I see them at home. You can also search for image files, and you can enter text or assign identifiers to sort and identify image files. You can also delete unnecessary image files. When you delete an image file, it is a good idea to record the identification information of the deleted image file. The image file that is the same as the identification information is not updated in the HCD when the image file is updated. This makes it possible to manage pictures / videos very effectively. Simple editing functions such as cropping, color / brightness / brightness change can be added.

For reference, a home cloud-based mobile image management method through a set-top box and a TV according to an embodiment of the present invention is implemented in a form of a program command that can be executed through various computer means, . The computer-readable medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, and the like, alone or in combination. The program instructions recorded on the medium may be those specially designed and constructed for the present invention or may be available to those skilled in the art of computer software. Examples of computer-readable media include magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks and magnetic tape, optical recording media such as CD-ROMs, DVDs, magneto-optical media such as floptical disks, A hard disk drive, a flash memory, and the like. Examples of program instructions include high-level language code that can be executed by a computer using an interpreter, as well as machine accords such as those produced by a compiler. The hardware devices described above may be configured to operate as one or more software modules to perform the operations of the present invention, and vice versa.

The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the description and the expression of the embodiments explicitly described in the foregoing. It is again to be understood that the present invention is not limited by the modifications or substitutions that are obvious to those skilled in the art.
