2, the content providing apparatus 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a content request receiving unit 111, a page providing unit 112, and a database 113.

The content request receiving unit 111 receives a content request from the user terminal 200. For example, the content request receiver 111 receives a request for popular content from the user terminal 200.

The page providing unit 112 selects a plurality of tags in response to the request received by the content request receiving unit 111, selects representative contents representing each of the selected plurality of tags, and represents each of the plurality of representatives. Provides a page displaying representative content. For example, the page providing unit 112 selects the representative content representing each of the plurality of tags in consideration of the popularity and / or registration time of the content in response to the request for the popular content received from the user terminal 200. A page displaying the selected representative content is provided. The plurality of tags may be set in advance or may be set in real time.

The page provided by the page providing unit 112 includes a plurality of tags and information of representative content representing each tag. The page may arrange as many frames as a predetermined number in a predetermined area, assign a tag to each frame one by one, and display representative content of the tag assigned to each frame in each frame. According to this, a predetermined number of tags will be allocated to the predetermined area, and a predetermined number of representative contents will be displayed. The predetermined area means an area included in the page. The shape of the predetermined region may be preferably rectangular, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described by taking an example in which a predetermined area is a rectangular area, but the following description is provided in other forms (for example, in the form of a figure consisting of a polygon, a straight line and / or a curve). The same may apply.

When the page arranges a predetermined number of frames in a rectangular area, the page may display the size of some frames larger than the size of other frames to attract the user's attention. For example, the page providing unit 112 selects some representative content as the extension target content based on at least one of the popularity and the registration time of the plurality of representative contents, and displays a frame in which the extension target content is disposed larger than other frames. Thus, the extension target content can be displayed larger than the remaining content. The popularity of the content may be calculated by the number of recommendations and comments of users about the content. For example, the page provider 112 may select the content with the highest number of recommendations and comments among the representative content, that is, the content with the highest popularity, as the extension target content. The extension target content may be preferably set as one representative content among representative contents displayed in the rectangular area, and as one extension target content is displayed larger than other representative contents, the user's attention to one extension target content This can be concentrated.

The page provider 112 may select the extension target content in real time. For example, the extension target content may be selected based on a time point when a content request of the user is received.

The page providing unit 112 may display the horizontal length and vertical length of the frame in which the extension target content is displayed by a predetermined magnification than the horizontal length and vertical length of the remaining frames. For example, the page providing unit 112 may display the horizontal length and the vertical length of the frame in which the extension target content is displayed to be twice the horizontal length and the vertical length of the remaining frames. The remaining frames other than the frame in which the extension target content is displayed may be arranged to be adjacent to the frame in which the extension target content is displayed. In addition, the remaining frames other than the frame in which the extension target content is displayed may be arranged to surround the frame in which the extension target content is displayed.

The page provider 112 may provide a page including a plurality of rectangular regions described above. Each rectangular region may include a predetermined number of frames, different tags may be assigned to each of the frames included in the plurality of rectangular regions, and representative contents of the tags assigned to each frame may be displayed in each frame. The plurality of rectangular regions may be arranged in a line in the vertical direction in the page. When the page is provided long up and down in this manner, the user may scroll up and down the page displayed on the user terminal 200 to display a desired area on the screen.

The page provider 112 may arrange a predetermined number of frames in the rectangular area, and may limit the function of the frame at a specific position. For example, a plurality of frames may be arranged in a rectangular area, and representative content of a real-time spike tag may be always displayed in a frame at a specific position. Alternatively, the representative content of the random tag may be always assigned to the frame at the specific position.

When the function of a specific frame is limited as described above, the page provider 112 does not expand the size of the specific frame and may always display the same size at the same position. In addition, when the function of one specific frame among the plurality of frames included in the rectangular area is limited, the page providing unit 112 assigns one fewer number of tags to the remaining frames than the preset number, and assigns to each frame. Representative contents of the assigned tag are displayed in each frame.

The page provider 112 may arrange a predetermined number of frames in the rectangular area, and may limit the function of the frame at a specific position. For example, a plurality of frames may be arranged in a rectangular area, and a pre-stored image may be always displayed in a frame at a specific position. According to an example, when the user selects a pre-stored image, the page providing unit 112 may provide a tag gallery of a real time rising tag. The tag gallery is a page that lists tagged content. That is, the tag gallery of the real-time zoom tag provides contents tagged with the real-time zoom tag. According to another example, when the user selects a pre-stored image, the page providing unit 112 may provide a tag gallery of random tags. In detail, the page provider 112 may provide randomly tagged contents.

The page provider 112 may always display the same position and size of a specific frame in which a pre-stored image is displayed.

In the case of arranging a plurality of frames in a rectangular area, the page provider 112 divides the rectangular area into nine spaces forming a 3x3 matrix, and arranges one extended frame by adding four spaces forming a 2x2 matrix. A general frame may be arranged in each of the remaining five spaces, so that a total of six frames may be arranged in one rectangular area. The nine spaces forming the 3 × 3 matrix may have the same rectangular shape.

Meanwhile, the page providing unit 112 determines which of nine spaces forming a 3x3 matrix to form an extended frame according to the display position of the extension target content or the position (or number) of the frame in which the extension target content is to be displayed. You can decide. The page providing unit 112 allocates six tags one-to-one to a total of six frames from 1 to 6, and selects the representative content of any one of the tags as the extension target content. The page providing unit 112 may determine which of 9 spaces forming a 3x3 matrix to form an extended frame according to the position (or number) of the frame in which the extension target content is to be displayed. For example, when the extension target content is displayed in frame 1 or 2, the extension target content is displayed by adding four spaces in the 2X2 matrix in the upper left corner among the nine spaces forming the 3x3 matrix, and the remaining five The remaining representative content may be displayed in the space, respectively. A method of determining the position in the rectangular region where the frame for displaying the extension target content is to be displayed will be described later with reference to FIGS. 6A to 7E.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a content providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The flowchart illustrated in FIG. 3 includes steps that are processed in time series in the content providing apparatus 110 illustrated in FIG. 2. Therefore, even if omitted below, it can be seen that the above description of the components shown in FIG. 2 also applies to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3.

Referring to FIG. 3, in step S31, the content request receiving unit 111 of FIG. 2 receives a content request from the user terminal 200. The content request may be distinguished from the tag search request and the user search request in that the content request does not include a specific tag or information of a specific user and broadly requests popular content without special conditions. The tag search request is a request for content tagged with a specific tag, and the user search request is a request for content uploaded by a specific user. On the other hand, the content request received by the content request receiving unit 111 of FIG. 2 in step S31, when the user executes an application in which the content sharing service according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided on the user terminal 200 (the user terminal ( 200 may be automatically transmitted to the server 100. When the application provided with the content sharing service according to an embodiment of the present invention is executed in the user terminal 200, the user terminal 200 automatically sends a popular content request to the content request receiver 111 as a request for an initial screen. Can transmit

In step S32, the page providing unit 112 of FIG. 2 selects a plurality of tags, selects representative content representing each of the plurality of tags, and displays a page displaying representative content representing each of the plurality of tags. 200).

4A illustrates an example in which a screen 40 provided according to an embodiment of the present invention is displayed on a user terminal.

An example of a page provided by the content providing device 110 of FIG. 2 is displayed on the screen 40 illustrated in FIG. 4A. 4A illustrates an example in which a page for providing a plurality of tags and representative content of each tag is displayed in response to a user's content request.

The page displayed on the screen 40 includes a rectangular area 41. A predetermined number of frames are arranged in the rectangular area 41. In the example of FIG. 4A, an example in which six frames 411-416 are arranged in the area 41 is illustrated. One tag is assigned to each frame, and the representative content of the assigned tag is displayed in each frame. In the example of FIG. 4A, tag 1 is assigned to first frame 411, tag 2 is assigned to second frame 412, tag 3 is assigned to third frame 413, and fourth frame 414 is assigned. ), Tag 4 is assigned, tag 5 is assigned to fifth frame 415, and tag 6 is assigned to sixth frame 416. In each frame, a tag name assigned to each frame is displayed, and one representative content selected from among a plurality of contents to which a tag assigned to each frame is assigned is displayed.

Although the form of the content displayed in each frame is not shown in detail in FIG. 4A, this is only for limiting the display format of the representative content provided by the present invention, and in each frame, the representative content of the tag assigned to each frame. Can be displayed in various formats. For example, the representative content may be a still image or a video. In each frame, a still image is displayed, one frame among all frames of the video is displayed, a summary of the video is displayed, or a video is displayed and played. Can be.

At the top of the screen 40, the phrase “HOT PIC” is displayed to indicate that the page currently displayed on the screen 40 is a page of popular content. In the background of the area where the phrase HOT PIC is displayed, the most popular content among representative contents displayed on the page may be displayed. The most popular contents among representative contents may be contents which have received the most recommendation from users within the last 24 hours. At the bottom of the screen 40, a menu bar 42 for moving to another page, uploading content, or searching for content is displayed.

Meanwhile, the tag allocated to the rectangular area 41 may be selected by the page provider 112. For example, the page provider 112 may select a tag assigned to the rectangular area 41 based on the degree of interest in the plurality of tags in the last 24 hours. Assuming that the page providing unit 112 provides a total of 70 frames to the page, the page providing unit 112 selects 100 highly popular tags based on the popularity of the plurality of tags in the last 24 hours. Of the 100 tags selected, 69 randomly selected tags and one spike tag can be allocated one-to-one to 70 frames. The spike tag is not included in the 100 tags selected based on the popularity of the plurality of tags in the last 24 hours, and may be selected based on a shorter time unit, for example, the popularity for 1 hour.

The popularity of the tag may be set higher as the frequency of the user's search request for the tag and the frequency with which the user specifies the tag for the content. For example, the page providing unit 112 calculates the popularity of each tag in consideration of the frequency with which the user designates the tag for the content, the number of new subscribers of the tag, and the number of recommendations or comments of users on the tagged content. can do. A subscriber of a tag refers to a user who subscribed to a subscription function to receive news about a content tagged with a corresponding tag.

The page providing unit 112 may update the tag to be allocated to the rectangular area 41 periodically or aperiodically and store the tag in the database 113 of FIG. 2. For example, the page provider 112 does not select a tag to be allocated to the rectangular area 41 in real time whenever a content request is received from the user, but is stored in the database 113 and updated periodically or aperiodically. A tag may be allocated to the rectangular area 41 using the tag information. The cycle may be one hour.

When the page providing unit 112 selects and updates a tag to be allocated to the rectangular area 41 periodically or aperiodically, the page providing unit 112 may be set to expose the newly selected tag at the top of the page.

Representative content of each tag may be updated periodically or aperiodically and stored in the database 113 of FIG. 2. For example, the representative content of each tag may be updated every hour. In order to prevent the data processing overload of the server 100, the content providing apparatus 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention does not select the representative content of each tag in real time every time a content request is received from the user, the database The page may be provided using representative content information of each tag stored in 113 and updated periodically or aperiodically.

Meanwhile, determining the representative content of any one of the representative contents displayed in the predetermined number of frames as the extension target content may be processed in real time based on the time when the content request of the user is received. As described above, the tag to be allocated to the rectangular area 41 and the representative content of each tag are periodically or aperiodically updated and stored in the database 113 of FIG. 2, so that the preset number displayed in the rectangular area 41 is shown. The operation load for determining the extension target content by comparing the popularity or registration time of the representative contents (six in the case of FIG. 4A) is not large. Therefore, the page providing unit 112 displays the extension target content in real time based on the time when the content request is received from the user, thereby displaying the most popular or most recently registered content in real time larger than other contents. It is possible to draw attention to the user. When the content that attracts the user's attention is the most popular or the most recently registered content, the satisfaction of the user who requested the popular content may be increased.

When the user selects any one of the frames shown in FIG. 4A, tagged contents assigned to the selected frame may be provided. For example, when the user selects the first frame, a tag gallery of the first tag may be provided, and the tag gallery of the first tag is a page that collects and provides the contents tagged with the first tag.

In the example of FIG. 4A, the representative content of tag 3 is selected as the extension target content, and an example in which the third frame 413 displaying the extension target content is displayed larger than the remaining frames 411, 412, 414, 415, and 416 is illustrated. It became. In the example of FIG. 4A, the width and length of the third frame 413 are represented as twice the length and length of the remaining frames. In this way, by displaying the size of the extension target content twice as large as the remaining content, it is possible to arrange each frame without gaps.

FIG. 4B is a diagram for describing a method of arranging a frame in the rectangular region 41 shown in FIG. 4A.

As shown in FIG. 4B, the rectangular region may be divided into nine spaces forming a 3 × 3 matrix (M). The page providing unit 112 combines four spaces forming a 2 × 2 matrix to form the first frame f1, and the second frame f2, the third frame f3, and the fourth frame (F3) in the remaining five spaces, respectively. f4), by arranging the fifth frame f5 and the sixth frame f6, a total of six frames are arranged in the rectangular region, and the horizontal and vertical lengths of any one of them are determined by the horizontal and vertical lengths of the remaining frames. We can arrange to double

The page providing unit 112 may not only provide a rectangular area on the page but also provide a banner. Banner 57 may be displayed between rectangular regions. In the example of FIG. 5A, an example is shown in which a banner 57 is displayed between the first rectangular region 51 and the second rectangular region 52. The display position of the banner 57 may be previously designated by the administrator. When the user selects the banner 57, the page provider 112 may provide a preset page, for example, provide a tag gallery of a specific tag, provide a web page of a specific URL, or provide a specific event page. can do.

Meanwhile, some rectangular regions may display an image pre-stored in a frame at a preset position, and assign a tag only to the remaining frames except for the frame at the preset position, thereby displaying representative content of the assigned tag.

In the example of FIG. 5A, a pre-stored image is displayed on a frame 521 of a predetermined position (lower left) of the second rectangular area 52, and a tag is assigned only to the remaining five frames of the second rectangular area 52. Representative content is displayed. On the other hand, the position of the frame providing such a specific function may be preset and fixed by the administrator.

The page provider 112 may display an image such as a clock on the frame 521 as a pre-stored image, and provide a tag gallery of a real-time rapidly rising popular tag when the user selects the frame 521. The real-time rising popularity tag may be selected based on the number of times the user has assigned the tag to the content within the last 3 hours, the number of new subscribers of the tag, and the number of recommendations and comments of the user for the tagged content.

In the example of FIG. 5A, the fourth rectangular region 54 also displays an image previously stored in the frame 541 at the preset position (lower right), and the tag is assigned only to the remaining five frames of the fourth rectangular region 54. Representative content may be displayed.

The page providing unit 112 may display an image meaning random in the frame 541 as a pre-stored image, and provide a tag gallery of random tags when the user selects the frame 541. The random tag may be randomly selected from the tags having a total of 100 or more recommendations received by the tagged contents, and the numerical value of 100 is merely an example, and thus the present invention is not limited thereto.

In FIG. 7A, a first frame to which tag 1 is assigned is disposed at the upper left side, and the remaining frames are arranged to surround the first frame adjacent to the first frame. The position and size of the sixth frame in which the real-time zoom tag is assigned and the clock image is displayed are fixedly displayed.

FIG. 7B illustrates the position and arrangement of each frame when the representative content of tag 2 is determined as the extension target content. In FIG. 7B, the second frame to which the tag 2 is allocated is disposed at the upper left side, and the remaining frames are arranged to surround the second frame adjacent to the second frame.

FIG. 7C illustrates the position and arrangement of each frame when the representative content of tag 3 is determined as the extension target content. In FIG. 7C, the third frame to which tag 3 is assigned is disposed at the upper right side, and the remaining frames are arranged to surround the third frame adjacent to the third frame.

FIG. 7D illustrates the position and arrangement of each frame when the representative content of tag 4 is determined as the extension target content. In FIG. 7D, the fourth frame to which the tag 4 is assigned is disposed at the lower right side, and the remaining frames are arranged to surround the third frame adjacent to the fourth frame. In contrast to the example illustrated in FIG. 6D, in FIG. 7D, an image pre-stored in a specific position at the lower left is displayed to display the fourth frame.

FIG. 7E illustrates the position and arrangement of each frame when the representative content of tag 5 is determined as the extension target content. In FIG. 7E, the fifth frame to which the tag 5 is assigned is disposed at the lower right side, and the remaining frames are arranged to surround the fifth frame adjacent to the fifth frame.

However, embodiments of the present invention are not necessarily limited to the frame arrangement method illustrated in FIGS. 6A to 7E. For example, in FIG. 7A to FIG. 7E, an example in which a pre-stored image is set to be displayed at the bottom left is displayed so that the size and arrangement of the frames vary according to which of the remaining frames displays the extension target content. An example is shown in the upper left, upper right, or lower right corner. However, when the pre-stored image is fixedly displayed at the lower left as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7E, the expansion target frame may be set to be displayed only at the upper left and upper right.
