(3) Pose overlap on the photographing screen: When the user of the terminal 10 captures a subject with the camera 140 , the application 200 may overlap a predetermined pose on the photographing screen of the display 160 . For example, the application 200 may display the pose received from the server 30 by overlapping the photographing screen, and accordingly, the photographer allows the subject person to take a pose according to the pose or if the pose includes the background. In some cases, you can place people and backgrounds according to their poses and take pictures.

An exemplary operation of the photo pose providing application 200 having at least one of the above-described functions will be described later with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6 .

3 shows data stored in the database 40 according to an embodiment. In one embodiment, the database (DB) 40 includes a user information DB 41, a registered pose DB 42, and a registered photo DB ( 43), and a recommended advertisement DB 44 .

The user information DB 41 stores information about a user who uses the photo pose providing application 200 according to the present invention. User information stored in the user information DB 41, for example, user identification information (ID and password, etc.), contact information (phone number, etc.), information about the pose registered by the user (hereinafter simply referred to as "registration pose") (identification information such as registration pose identification number), information about the picture registered by the user (hereinafter simply referred to as “registered picture”) (identification information such as registration picture identification number), user account information (points, coupons, discount coupons, etc.) information) and the like).

The registered pose DB 42, when the user takes a photo at any place using the photo pose providing application 200 and registers a pose extracted therefrom in the server 30, the registered pose (“registered pose”) ) to store information about For example, the information stored in the registered pose DB 42 includes an abbreviated image of the registered pose for each registered pose, location information (that is, location information about the place where the photo from which the registered pose is extracted), registrant, and use The number of times (that is, the number of times other users have used the registered pose), related registered photo information (for example, identification information of registered photos taken using the corresponding registered pose), and related recommended advertisement (for example, location information of the corresponding registered pose or It may include at least some of data such as information about advertisements related according to the characteristics of the pose).

The registered photo DB 43, when the user takes a photo according to a registered pose at any place using the photo pose providing application 200 and registers it in the server 30, the registered photo (“registered photo”) ) to store information about For example, the information stored in the registered photo DB 43 includes, for each registered photo, an abbreviated image of the registered photo, location information (location information of the place where the registered photo was taken), the registrant, the shooting date and time, and the number of inquiry (the corresponding registration). It may include at least some of data, such as the number of times the photo is inquired by another user) and related registered pose information (ie, identification information of a registered pose used when taking the corresponding registered photo).

The recommended advertisement DB 44 stores advertisements to be provided to users of the application 200 . In one embodiment, the advertisements stored in the recommended advertisement DB 44 are classified by region (that is, by location information) and are classified and stored, for example, by industry, such as lodging establishments, restaurants, pubs, cafes, amusement parks, tourist attractions, and specialty stores. can be Also, in one embodiment, the recommended advertisement DB 44 may further include reward information such as coupons or discount coupons that can be provided to users in association with the advertisements.

A method of providing a pose to a user through the application 200 and taking a picture will now be described with reference to FIG. 4 . For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the user arrives at an arbitrary place such as a tourist attraction and executes the application 200 in the terminal 10 .

First, in step S11, the application 200 may request the server 30 for a registered pose and/or a registered photo related to the current place. The application 200 may perform this request by transmitting location information regarding the current location of the terminal 10 to the server 30 .

The server 30 receiving the request retrieves the registered pose (or its abbreviated image) and/or the registered photo (or its abbreviated image) related to the location information of the current place from the database 40 and transmits it to the terminal 10 ( Step S12), the terminal 10 receiving it displays it on the display 160 (step S13).

The user may select a favorite one from among the registered poses (or its abbreviated image) and/or the registered photos (or its abbreviated image) displayed on the display 160 (step S14), and one registered pose (or its abbreviated image) is selected, when the user takes a picture with the camera 140, the selected registered pose is displayed while being overlapped on the shooting screen (S15). At this time, if the user selects an abbreviated image of any registered pose in step S14 l, the corresponding registered pose is overlapped and displayed on the screen. As another example, if the user selects a registered photo in step S14 When (or a reduced image thereof) is selected, a registered pose related to the selected registered photo or abbreviated image is displayed while overlapping the photographing screen (S15).

In this regard, Fig. 5 shows an example of a registered photo and a registered pose. Fig. 5 (a) is a registered photo taken and registered by an arbitrary user at a specific place, and Fig. 5 (b) is a registered pose extracted from this registered photo. shown exemplarily. In this case, for example, if the user selects the registered picture of FIG. 5(a) in step S14 of FIG. 4, it will be understood that the registered pose of FIG. 5(b) is overlapped and displayed on the photographing screen when the camera is photographed.

When the registered pose is overlapped and displayed on the photographing screen, the user composes a photograph according to the registered pose or takes a photograph by making the photographic subject's expression or gesture take place (step S16). At this time, in one embodiment, the application 200 detects an error due to a difference in body proportion or perspective difference between the registered pose and the actual subject to be photographed, or a difference in perspective of the background of the photographing target, and if it falls within the allowable error, the photographing object is in accordance with the registered pose. A function of notifying the user may be further included. To this end, the application 200 may have a pose extraction function that extracts a contour or a silhouette from an image displayed on a photo or a shooting screen, and extracts a pose from an image on the shooting screen according to this pose extraction function and compares it with a registered pose Thus, it is possible to quantitatively quantify the difference between the two poses or determine whether they are identical by judging them according to a qualitative criterion.

If a picture is taken according to the registered pose in step S16, the application 200 in step S17 displays the photographed picture, registered pose information (ie, identification information of the registered pose used for this photographing), user information, and The location information is transmitted to the server 30 . In one embodiment, the photographed picture may not be sent, and in this case, the application 200 may transmit only the identification information of the registered pose used for photographing, user information, and location information to the server 30 .

The server 30 updates the database 40 upon receiving this information. For example, if user information and location information are received, the user information DB 41 may be updated based on the user information and location information, and when a photographed picture is received, an abbreviated image of the photographed photograph is generated, The photographed picture is stored in the database 40 together with information on the photographer, and the number of times of use of the registered pose may be updated with respect to the registered pose used for the photographing.

In step S22, a reward may be provided to each of a user who took a picture and registered it and a registrant who first registered the registration pose used by the user. For example, a predetermined point may be paid to each of the user and the registrant, or a coupon or a discount coupon may be provided.

In addition, according to an embodiment, a recommendation advertisement may be provided to a user who has taken and registered a photo. The recommended advertisement may be, for example, an advertisement stored in the recommendation advertisement DB 44 of the database 40, and may be one or more advertisements selected by the server 30 based on the user's location and/or the registered pose used by the user.

At this time, when the server 30 selects an advertisement based on the user's location, the server 30 may, for example, retrieve the user from location information linked to a registered photo registered by the user or location information linked to a registered pose used by the user. You can specify the location of , and select advertisements for businesses (accommodations, restaurants, cafes, amusement parks, etc.) around this specified location.

When the server 30 selects an advertisement based on the registered pose used by the user, the server 30 may select an advertisement of an industry or company related to the used registered pose. For example, if the registered pose is a pose of an adult and a child together, you can select a child-related company or tourist attraction such as an amusement park, and if the registered pose is a pose of several people, you can select a tourist attraction, a pub, cafe, or specialty store. . As another example, if the registration pose is a pose of a male and female couple, or a pose in which two people make a heart shape with their hands or arms, it is possible to preferentially select and recommend a restaurant or cafe that couples often go to, or a cafe with a good view or atmosphere. In this way, the company related to any registered pose may be stored in association in advance according to a predetermined algorithm, or the server 30 may analyze the registered pose in real time and select the company according to the characteristics of the registered pose.

6 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method for a user to register a new pose with the server 30 through the application 200 according to an embodiment. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the user arrives at an arbitrary place such as a tourist attraction and executes the application 200 in the terminal 10 .

When the user executes the application 200 and takes a picture at the current location (S31), the application 200 may extract a pose from the photographed picture (S32). Alternatively, the pose may be extracted by executing the photo pose providing application 200 according to the present invention after taking a photo using any photographing application of the terminal 10 .

When the pose is extracted, the photographed picture, the extracted pose information (eg, the extracted pose data and the identification information given to the pose), the user information, and the location information are transmitted to the server 30 in step S33 . The server 30 compares the received pose with the registered pose stored in the database 40 to determine whether it is a new pose, and if it is a new pose, registers the pose and the photographed picture and stores it in the database 40 (S41). In an embodiment, the server 30 may generate a reduced image from the photographed picture and may also store the reduced image in the database 40 .

After that, in step S42, points are paid to the user according to the registration of the new pose, coupons or discount coupons are provided, and the database is updated. In addition, related advertisements may be recommended to the user along with updating the database ( S54 ), and since this advertisement recommendation step is the same as or similar to step S23 of FIG. 4 , a description thereof will be omitted.

If the server 30 determines that the received pose is the same or similar to one or more registered poses stored in the database 40, it may present the same/similar one or more registered poses to the user (S51). That is, the server 30 transmits one or more identical/similar registered poses (or abbreviated images thereof) to the terminal 10 .

After that, when the user selects one of one or more identical / similar registered poses (or abbreviated images thereof) displayed on the display of the terminal 10, the application 200 transmits the selected registered pose information to the server 30 and , the server 30 stores and registers the photographed photograph in the database 40 in association with the selected registration pose and updates the database 40 (S52). For example, a photograph may be registered along with location information at the time of photographing, photographing date and time, and information such as a photographer, and the number of times of use of the registered pose may be updated with respect to the registered pose used for the photographing.

Thereafter, the server 30 may provide a reward to each of the user who took a picture and registered it and the registrant who initially registered the registration pose selected by the user (S53), and may provide a related recommendation advertisement to the user (S54) . Since the reward providing step S53 and the advertisement recommendation step S54 are the same as or similar to the steps S22 and S23 of FIG. 4 , a description thereof will be omitted.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings as described above, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and variations are possible from the description of the above-described specification. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined by the following claims as well as the claims and equivalents.
