1 is a block diagram of a system sharing an inquiry about a sound source according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a system 100 according to one embodiment includes a first server 110, a second server 130, a terminal 160 of a first user 150, And may include a terminal 180. The first server 110, the second server 130, the terminal 160 of the first user 150 and the terminal 180 of the second user 170 can communicate with each other via the network 50 .

The network 50 enables wired and wireless communication between various entities contained within the system 100. In one embodiment, the network 50 may use standard communication technologies and / or protocols.

The first server 110 may provide a music recognition service to a user (e.g., the first user 150) through an application for music recognition service. Here, the application for the music recognition service may be understood to mean not only a music recognition dedicated application but also an application capable of providing a search result of music being streamed, such as a search application or a music reproduction application.

The music recognition service can be understood as a service for recognizing part or all of a sound source and notifying identification information of the sound source such as an artist and / or a title of the sound source. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, 'application for music recognition service' is briefly described as 'recognition application'.

The first server 110 may include a first database (not shown) including various sound sources used for music recognition and various information about the sound sources. The first server 110 can recognize the sound source requested to be recognized using the first database and provide information about the sound source to the user. Since a general music recognition algorithm can be directly applied to the operation of the first server 110, a detailed description will be omitted.

The second server 130 provides a service for sharing inquiries about sound sources with other users through an application for sharing inquiries about the sound sources. The second server 130 may be, for example, a server that provides a Social Network Service (SNS). Here, other users may be, for example, connected users via a social network service.

Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, 'an application for sharing inquiries about sound sources' will be briefly described as a 'shared application'. The shared application can be provided to the user in various forms. For example, a shared application may be provided in the form of a dedicated application installed in the terminal, in the form of a module in another application, or in the form of a web.

If the first user 150 requests recognition of the sound source using the music recognition service provided through the recognition application installed in the terminal 160 but fails to recognize the sound source, the first user 150 may request sharing of the sound source through the shared application. In other words, the first user 150 may correspond to a requestor requesting sharing of the inquiry about the sound source or a questioner inquiring about the sound source.

An interface (e.g., a first interface) for inquiring about a sound source may be provided on the screen of the terminal 160 of the first user 150 in which the recognition application is performed. The first interface may be to accommodate the request of the first user 150 to share an inquiry about the sound source. The first interface may be provided in the form of a button or icon, for example " Tell Me " The first interface may be composed of various types of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in addition to a share button or an icon.

In response to the selection of the first user 150 for the first interface provided on the screen of the terminal 160, a shared application may be performed at the terminal 160. [ Hereinafter, for convenience of description, a scenario in which a recognition application and a shared application are distinguished from each other will be described, but the recognition application and the shared application may be provided in the form of a single application according to an embodiment. In this case, in response to the selection of the first user 150 for the first interface, the functionality of the shared application may be performed.

The second server 130 registers a request for sharing requested when a share request for inquiry about the sound source is received. For example, the second server 130 acquires a sound source that fails to be recognized by the music recognition service from the shared application installed in the terminal 160 of the first user 150. [ The sound source may be data generated by recording the music played in the listening space of the first user 150 for a predetermined time.

The second server 130 may further acquire information for classifying the sound source. The information that classifies the sound source is whether the nationality of the artist performing the sound source corresponds to the domestic or foreign country, whether the gender of the artist is male, female or mixed, the group type of the artist is solo, duo, group ) Or band, where the genre of the sound source belongs, and the like.

The second server 130 registers the content of the identification inquiry based on the information for classifying the sound source and the sound source. Here, the content of the identification inquiry may be content for inquiring identification information of the sound source such as information on the artist of the sound source and information on the title of the sound source. The contents of the identification inquiry can be understood as a concept encompassing various types of data registered or posted in a social network service. Other users can get basic information about the source of the inquiry through the information that classifies the source, and can respond to the source inquiry that they know well.

The second server 130 registers the answers of the other users with respect to the registered inquiry in the answer list of the inquiry. For example, the second server 130 collects the answers of the second user 170 in response to the contents of the identification inquiry from the terminal 180 of the second user 170 installed with the shared application. The second user 170 may input an answer to the sound source inquired by the first user 150. [ The second user 170 may be singular or plural.

According to one embodiment, the second server 130 uses the sound source database (not shown) to correspond to the answers of the user (second user) collected corresponding to the identification inquiry content inquiring about the information for identifying the sound source At least one recommended sound source can be searched. The second server 130 may register the recommended sound source selected by the second user among the at least one recommended sound source in the answer list of the content of the identification inquiry. The second server 130 may include a second database (not shown) including various sound sources and various information about the sound sources. The second server 130 may search for a recommended sound source in the second database according to an answer of the second user 170 and may provide the requested sound source to the user who requested sharing of the inquiry.

The second server 130 provides an answer list to the first user 150. As described above, the embodiments can provide a new music content service that recycles a file that fails in music recognition search. Accordingly, even when the first user 150 can not automatically recognize the sound source through the recognition service, the first user 150 can acquire information about the sound source through the second shared service. In addition, it is possible to obtain the effect of inducing consumption of the corresponding sound source while providing information about the sound source through the shared service.

According to one embodiment, the first user 150 may adopt one of the answers included in the answer list as a correct answer. In this case, the second server 130 may select the first user 150 corresponding to the interrogator, And a second user who answers the recommended sound source selected as the correct answer by the first user 150. [ The specific operation of the second server 130 will be described with reference to FIG.

The first database used by the first server 110 and the second database used by the second server 130 may be included in each server as described above, or may be maintained separately from the respective servers. Or the first database and the second database may be the same database. Hereinafter, a 'sound source database' can be understood as a concept including at least one of a first database and a second database.

The first server 110 and the second server 130 may be operated by one operating entity (or a manager) or may be operated by a separate operating entity. Also, the first server 110 and the second server 130 may be implemented as a single server. In this case, the single server may include a module for the recognition service and a module for the shared service.

The terminal 160 and the terminal 180 may be connected to a network such as, for example, a mobile communication terminal such as a smart phone, a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a workstation, a palmtop computer, a personal digital assistant A pad, or the like, and has a computing function by mounting a microprocessor.

2 is a flow diagram illustrating a method of sharing an inquiry about a sound source according to an embodiment. Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown an operation between a first user terminal 201, a music recognition server 203, and an SNS server 205 for providing a method of sharing an inquiry about a sound source according to an embodiment. According to the embodiment, the music recognition server 203 and the SNS server 205 may be implemented as one integrated server.

The first user terminal 201 collects (210) at least a portion of the sound source and transmits (215) a sound source recognition request including at least a portion of the collected sound source to the music recognition server 203. At this time, the music recognition server 203 may receive a sound recognition request from an application installed in the first user terminal 201. [

The music recognition server 203 recognizes the sound source corresponding to the sound source recognition request (220), and determines whether the sound source recognition is successful or failure (225).

If the recognition of the sound source is successful in step 225, the music recognition server 203 may provide information about the recognized sound source to the first user terminal 201 (230).

If the recognition of the sound source fails in step 225, the music recognition server 203 provides the first interface for sharing the inquiry about the sound source to the first user terminal 201 (235).

The music recognition server 203 may determine 240 whether there is a selection of the first user for the first interface. If there is no selection of the first user for the first interface, the service sharing the inquiry about the sound source may be terminated. If there is a first user's selection for the first interface, the first user terminal 201 may send information to the SNS server 205 to classify the sound source and the sound source (245).

In step 245, the SNS server 205 obtains information from the application installed in the first user terminal 201, which classifies the sound source and sound source that failed to be recognized. At this time, the information for classifying the sound source may be input by the first user. The first user can select items such as a domestic record, a female singer, a solo, and the like which are prepared in advance for information for classifying the sound source through the terminal equipped with the application. Alternatively, the first user may select or input, for example, 'unknown' for items of information that are difficult to classify among the items of information for classifying sound sources.

Alternatively, the server may obtain information that classifies the sound source, for example, through a pre-learned neural network or the like. At this time, the neural network analyzes various signals (for example, voice signal, musical instrument signal, etc.) grasped from a sound source and compares the signals with previously learned signals, thereby automatically setting information for classifying the sound sources to provide information for classifying sound sources May be learned in advance. The neural network may be implemented by, for example, a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) or a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN).

The SNS server 205 registers the contents of the identification inquiry of the sound source on the basis of the information for classifying the sound source and the sound source obtained in step 245 (250). The SNS server 205 may register the contents of the identification inquiry in order to share inquiries about the sound source with other users.

The SNS server 205 can register the content of the identification inquiry by dividing the sound source into information (for example, domestic record, female record, and solo record) for classifying the sound source. The server may register the content of the identification inquiry in the wish list area of the music box of the first user provided through the application, for example.

The SNS server 205 collects the answers of the second user in response to the content of the identification inquiry registered in step 250 (255). The server can expose the contents of the identification inquiry through the wish list area of the first user provided by the application and collect the answers of the second user corresponding to the contents of the exposed identification information.

The SNS server 205 registers the answer collected in step 255 in the answer list of the content of the identification inquiry (260). The SNS server 205 provides the first user with an answer list containing the answers of the second user (265). At this time, the answer list may be provided to the first user in various forms. For example, an answer list may be provided in the form of a general list, or in the form of a dialog window. The SNS server 205 may provide an answer list to the application of the first user or to the web browser of the first user.

According to one embodiment, in step 255, the SNS server 205, in response to the selection of the second user for the second interface, may provide an instant search area upon receipt of an answer. At this time, the second interface may be provided on the screen of the terminal of the second user through the shared application running on the terminal of the second user. The second interface may be an interface provided to the second user to collect answers corresponding to the content of the identification statement. The second interface may be provided, for example, in the form of a 'reply' button or icon, or may be provided through various other types of graphical user interfaces.

The immediate search area may include, for example, an inquiry about the artist of the sound source, the title of the sound source, and the like. The SNS server 205 immediately collects an answer as soon as it is input into the search area, and can search for a recommended sound source based on the answers inputted so far. For example, as the characters corresponding to the answer are inputted in the search area at step S255, the SNS server 205 determines at least one of the characters matching the characters inputted in the sound source database (i.e., the answer of the second user) Can be searched.

The second user can select any of the recommended sound sources that are searched for by the instant search function. In step 260, the SNS server 205 transmits the recommended sound source selected by the second user to the answer list of the identification inquiry contents You can register.

Although not shown in the figure, the first user may request to preview one of the plurality of recommended sound sources included in the answer list provided in step 265. According to one embodiment, the SNS server 205 may provide a portion corresponding to a predetermined interval of the recommended sound source (e.g., 30 seconds after the start).

According to another embodiment, the SNS server 205 may extract and provide a part of the entire section of the recommended sound source most similar to the sound source recorded by the first user for music recognition. For example, the first user can listen to the climax part of a specific sound source and try to recognize the music. In this case, by listening to the corresponding part through the shared service in advance, it is possible to more reliably determine whether the recommended sound source is the correct answer have.

3 is a diagram illustrating screens provided by an application for sharing an inquiry about a sound source through a terminal of a first user according to an exemplary embodiment. Referring to FIG. 3, screens 310, 320, 330, and 340 appearing on a terminal of a user requesting sharing of a source query are shown.

If the user attempts to recognize by the music recognition service but fails, the user terminal may be provided with a notification (e.g., " not recognized ") indicating that the sound source recognition has failed, such as screen 310. At this time, the first interface 315 may be provided on the screen 310, along with a message asking the user to share the inquiry about the sound source. For example, you might ask, "I want to ask your car music members." The first interface 315 is for accepting a request of a user to share an inquiry about a sound source, and may include, for example, a "Tell me" button or icon as shown in FIG.

When the user selects the first interface 315, the application screen 320 provided by the dedicated application (shared application) installed in the user terminal can be displayed. At this time, if the shared application is not installed in the user terminal, the same web screen as the application screen 320 can be provided to the user terminal through the browsing application connecting the same service as the dedicated application.

According to the embodiment, when the recognition application and the shared application are provided in the form of a single application, the user selects the first interface 315 to switch the screen from the screen 310 to the screen 320 in the same application It is possible.

The server may obtain information to classify the sound sources from the user through the screen 320. [ The screen 320 may include an interface 323 for collecting simple information that can be grasped by a user with respect to a sound source to which other users are inquired. The user can select, for example, 'domestic', 'female', 'genre 1' in the interface 323.

In addition, the screen 320 may include a content ("file abc_20161124.xx?") Inquiring registration for a sound source. As the user selects the add button 325 included in the screen 320, the server can register the contents of the identification inquiry of the sound source inquiring the identification information of the sound source. At this time, the contents of the identification inquiry may include information for classifying the sound source and the sound source to which the inquiry is to be shared.

As the content of the identification inquiry is registered in the server, inquiries about the sound source can be shared with other users (second users) who installed the shared application. As content is registered, a screen (e.g., screen 410 of FIG. 4) may be provided that indicates that the terminal of other users who installed the shared application has shared the inquiry about the sound source. The content of the identification inquiry can be registered in the wish list of the user terminal, for example, as shown in the screen 330.

The user can listen to the contents of the registered identification information, that is, the sound source shared by the inquiry about the sound source, by listening to the sound source reproduction button 333 included in the screen 330. [ Other users may also listen to and listen to the queried source through a similar screen (e.g., see screen 420 in FIG. 4).

If other users have responded to the content of the registered identification inquiry, an answer button 335 displayed on the screen 330 may display an original letter N indicating that a new answer has been collected. The user can select an answer view button 335 to confirm answers of other users.

As the user selects the answer view button 335, an answer list including answers inputted by other users (member A, member B, member C, etc.) as the screen 340 can be displayed on the user terminal .

For example, a member A replies to the artist: "Red Chun ㅇ", title: "I can not ㅇ ㅇ", and the member B replies with Artist: "Red Chun ㅇ" to view, titled: ". Let's also say that member C replied with an artist: "Ball Red Chant", Title: Give Space ".

A means for reproducing the corresponding answer in response to the answers included in the answer list, for example, a one minute preview button or the like may be provided. The user can select a preview button corresponding to each of the answers and confirm whether the answer is the desired answer. The user may adopt any one of the recommended sound sources determined to be correct among the recommended sound sources included in the answer list on the screen 340 as a correct answer.

For example, suppose that a user has correctly answered member A's answer (345). The server may provide benefits to at least one of the user and the member A.

As the user's selection of the recommended sound source is entered, the server can provide the user with a purchase purchase right for the sound source. Alternatively, the server may provide the member A who has answered the recommended sound source selected by the user with a sound source purchase right. Alternatively, the server may provide the user using the shared service to purchase sound source purchase, thereby inducing users to enter the shared service.

According to one embodiment, the server can provide more benefits to the member A who responds to the recommended sound source selected by the user, the higher the error rate of the members. The server can provide the benefit to the member A who responded to the recommended sound source selected by the user in proportion to the number of answers not selected by the user among the answers corresponding to the content of the identification inquiry.

At this time, the second server 130 can provide the benefit to the member A in proportion to the number of incorrect answers recognized based on the identification information of each member, so that the same member can be prevented from intentionally inputting wrong answers to increase the error rate have. Here, 'to grasp the number of incorrect answers based on the identification information of each member' means that only one wrong answer is recognized for each member's identification information (for example, ID). That is, when a plurality of answers (wrong answers) are input with the same ID, only one answer (wrong answer) inputted first or finally can be recognized as being input by the member.

4 is a diagram illustrating screens provided by an application for sharing an inquiry about a sound source through a terminal of a second user who wants to answer an inquiry according to an exemplary embodiment. Referring to FIG. 4, there are illustrated screens 410, 420, 430, 440, and 450 appearing on a terminal of a user (second user) who answered a query for a shared sound source.

When the registration of the contents of the identification inquiry of the sound source is completed in FIG. 3, the terminal of the second user installed with the shared application may be provided with the screen 410 displaying the inquiry about the sound source. At this time, the inquiry about the sound source can be displayed separately by the information for classifying the sound source inputted by the first user.

For example, assume that a second user selects an item 415 of a sound source classified as "domestic, female, genre 1" on the screen 410 to input an answer.

The terminal of the second user may be displayed with the screen 420 containing the identification inquiry contents for inquiring the identification information of the sound source for identification of the sound source corresponding to the item 415. [ The screen 420 may correspond to a screen or a portion of a wish list area included in the music room of the first user provided by the shared application, for example.

The second user can select the sound reproduction button 423 included in the screen 420 and reproduce the inquired sound source. The second user who listened to the reproduced sound source can select the answer button 425 and input an answer that he thinks is the correct answer.

If the answer button 425 is selected, the server can immediately provide a screen 430 containing the search area 435 via the shared application. The immediate search area 435 is an area for receiving answers from the second user, and the server can immediately collect the answers of the second user in the search area 435 immediately.

The server can search at the sound source database for at least one recommended sound source corresponding to the answer inputted at the instant of inputting the artist or title in the immediate search area 435 and expose the search result as shown on the screen 440. [

For example, if the second user immediately inputs " glance " to the artist in the search area 435, the server will search for " gorgeous sex " and artist " You can search for titles of recommended sound sources corresponding to "

If at least one recommended sound source corresponding to the answer entered in the immediate search area 435 is searched in the sound source database, the server may expose the search result as the screen 440.

The search results exposed on screen 440 include, for example, titles of sound sources corresponding to the artist " gorgeousness " stored in the sound source database (such as "good", "give space", " ..., Etc.).

Suppose that the second user has selected the item 445 of the sound source "I can not do it" among the recommended sound sources displayed on the screen 440. The server can register the recommended sound source (item 445) selected by the second user in the answer list of the content of the identification inquiry. As the "only me" sound source is registered in the answer list, the sound source "I can not do it" selected by the second user (member A) can be displayed on the screen 340 of the terminal of the first user.

At this time, the server can link the recommended sound source selected by the second user with a link in the answer list, so that the first user can view the answer list and click the link of the recommended sound source to listen to the recommended sound source selected by the second user.
