Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Since the present invention can have various changes and can have various forms, specific embodiments are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail in the text. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention to the specific disclosed form, it should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents and substitutes included in the spirit and scope of the present invention.

In addition, in the description of the present invention, terms such as "first" and "second" are used only for the purpose of distinguishing one component from other components, and are not used to limit any meaning. And, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise, the singular expression includes the plural expression, and terms such as "comprises" or "have" refer to features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts or It is to be understood that this is intended to indicate the existence of any combination thereof, and does not preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features or numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

4 to 6 are diagrams showing thumbnails in which summary information about images are displayed on the map provided by the present invention, and FIG. 5 shows thumbnails on the map when the scale of the map is increased compared to FIG. 4 . It is a view showing the displayed state, and FIG. 6 is a view showing a state in which a thumbnail is expressed on the map when the scale of the map is increased compared to that of FIG. 5 .

An apparatus for providing image information and a method for providing image information according to the present invention receive scale information of a displayed map, determine a display grade in response to the scale information, and store the image data in an image database 130 according to the display grade. It is characterized in that the thumbnail 10 of the extracted images is displayed on a map in response to the location information included in the corresponding thumbnail 10 and provided to the user. Here, the display grade may be determined to be higher as the scale is smaller, and may be determined to be lower as the scale is larger. And, in the description of the present invention, the largeness and smallness of the scale information may be determined based on a scale value expressed as a fraction. That is, it can be understood that the scale of 1:1,000,000 is smaller than the scale of 1:1,000.

This can be understood as follows when described in light of the drawings.

In the present invention, since the magnitude of the scale is compared using scale information expressed in fractional form, the scale of Figure 4 is smaller than that of Figures 5 and 6, and the scale of Figure 5 is smaller than that of Figure 6 . And, as described above, since a higher display grade is determined when the scale information is small, the display grade in the scale of FIG. 4 is the highest, and then the display grade is determined in the order of FIGS. 5 and 6 . For example, if the display grade has a higher grade as it has a smaller value, if the display grade in FIG. 4 is grade 1, FIG. 5 may be grade 2 and FIG. 6 may be grade 3, for example. In addition, the 1st grade may represent a region more popular than the 2nd and 3rd grades or indicate a popular tourist area that many people want to visit. Therefore, the number of images or thumbnails 10 included in the high display grade may be smaller than the number of images or thumbnails 10 included in the low grade, and therefore, in the case of FIG. 4, compared to FIG. 5 Only smaller thumbnails 10 may be displayed on the map, and in the case of FIG. 4 , only three thumbnails 10 are displayed.

While viewing such a map, the user can move to another point by using the mouse or finger touch, or zoom-in the point by moving the wheel of the mouse, that is, to increase the scale information. have. Then, the display grade determining unit 140 of the image information providing apparatus 1000 according to the present invention determines a low display grade according to the scale information received through the transceiver 110 . For example, the display grade of the first grade may be lowered to the display grade of the second grade. Accordingly, images with rating information of grade 2 or higher are extracted from the image database 130, and thumbnails 10 of the images extracted in this way are displayed on the map, so that more thumbnails 10 can be confirmed on the map. do. And, similarly, if the scale information from FIG. 5 to FIG. 6 increases, more information on the thumbnails 10 is provided to the user in FIG. 6 as compared to FIG. 5 . For reference, in the description of the present invention, the meaning of more than a certain display grade means a higher high-dimensional display grade including the corresponding display grade, and 3 or more grades includes grades 3, 2, and 1 And, grade 2 or higher may mean including grade 2 and grade 1.

Accordingly, in the present invention, since the number of thumbnails 10 displayed according to the scale of the displayed map is adjusted and provided to the user, etc., there is an effect that only necessary information can be preferentially provided to the user at each corresponding point in time.

7 is a diagram illustrating another example in which a thumbnail is displayed on a map in the image information providing apparatus and image information providing method according to the present invention.

The image information providing apparatus and image information providing method according to the present invention may provide the size of the thumbnail 10 displayed or expressed on the map in the same size as described above, but the rating information included in the thumbnail 10 It can also be displayed on the map by adjusting it to a corresponding size. For example, the thumbnail 10 having the grade 1 information may be displayed at the corresponding point on the map larger than the thumbnail 10 having the grade 2 or 3 grade information. For reference, the display of the thumbnail 10 on the map and the display on the map by adjusting the size corresponding to the grade information may be performed by the information display unit 160 in the image information providing apparatus 1000 .

Accordingly, the user acquires information with different weights, rather than accepting information on tourist spots and the like at the same level. And, this can be understood as a kind of filtering effect, through which the present invention can prevent too much information from being provided to the user and achieve the effect of giving priority to the provided information. For reference, the rating information of the images stored in the image database 130 may be determined by the sum of the image itself score and the identification information period score, and the sum of the two may be 100 points. And, the video itself score may be determined based on the number of times the video is played, the number of clicks, touches, etc. of the thumbnail 10 for the video, and evaluation scores of users who have viewed the video. It can also be determined according to the advertising cost paid by the person running the accommodation. Here, the rate at which the advertising cost contributes to the video itself score is determined to be less than 10 percent so as not to mislead the guide to the tourist recommendation point displayed on the map by the image information providing apparatus and image information providing method according to the present invention due to excessive advertising expenditure. can Also, the identification information-based score may be determined based on the selection history of the thumbnail 10 of the accessed identification information and/or the image reproduction history.

8 is a diagram illustrating map changes when any one of thumbnails displayed on a map is selected.

In the image information providing apparatus and image information providing method according to the present invention, when any one of the thumbnails 10 displayed on a map is touched or clicked and selected, such information is received and the scale information is displayed at the currently displayed scale. The process of adjusting the area of the map displayed on the screen may be performed so that the information is increased by a preset amount and the selected thumbnail 10 is located in the center of the displayed screen. And, at the same time, a first additional point, which is a kind of incentive, may be given to the rating information of images having the same category information as the category information included in the thumbnail 10 selected from among the images stored in the image database 130 . have. For example, if the category information included in the selected thumbnail 10 relates to fishing, the image information providing apparatus and the image information providing method according to the present invention are related to the fishing category among the images stored in the image database 130 . A first additional point may be given to the rating information of the images, and through this, it is possible to adjust the likelihood that more images or thumbnails 10 about fishing will be displayed on the corresponding map.

This is provided to the user as another feature of the image information providing apparatus and the image information providing method according to the present invention. Compared to the conventional recommendation system extracting items belonging to the same category as selected or reproduced by the user and providing them as it is, , the present invention does not extract and provide the same category, but temporarily gives additional points and provides information to the user with thumbnails 10 for images extracted in a situation in which these additional points are reflected. That is, even if it is in the same category as the selected thumbnail 10, it is not necessarily displayed on the map and provided to the user, etc., but only increases the possibility of being displayed. The first additional point is canceled and adjusted to the original grade.

Accordingly, according to the image information providing apparatus and image information providing method according to the present invention, information is not provided in a biased manner just because any one thumbnail 10 is selected, but is evenly distributed in a state in which a weight is assigned to the corresponding category. The information to be displayed will be selected and provided with priority. That is, even if the thumbnail 10 selected in the island area provides information on the fishing point, not only the contents of the fishing information in the island area are displayed on the map, but even if additional points are given in the same category, the scale of the map If the display rating does not exceed the display rating determined by the display rating determiner 140 according to the information, display on the map may be restricted.

9 is an enlarged view of a thumbnail provided in the present invention.

The image information providing apparatus and the image information providing method according to the present invention may include an image information section 11 and a summary information section 12 in the thumbnail 10 that is preferentially provided on a map, Through the image information section 11, an image such as a photo that can be visually recognized for the corresponding point is provided, and through the summary information section 12, compressed information expressed in writing about the corresponding point, such as a tourist destination, is presented. can be For reference, information to be expressed in the thumbnail 10 and the thumbnail image information section 11 and the summary information section 12 may be stored in the image database 130 .

10 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image provided when a thumbnail displayed on a map is selected in the image information providing apparatus and image information providing method according to the present invention.

An apparatus for providing image information and a method for providing image information according to the present invention determine a display grade based on the scale information of a received map, extract an image of a display grade or higher according to the scale information from the image database 130, and perform a thumbnail therefor (10) is displayed on the map to effectively provide information about the travelable area to users, etc., and at the same time, the thumbnail 10 including the image information section 11 and the summary information section 12 is clicked and touched When selected in such a way, by providing an image of the corresponding thumbnail 10, it is possible to provide the user with a vivid sense of presence of a point to be visited.

The image provided when the thumbnail 10 is selected may be an image or a VR image photographed through a 360-degree camera, and in the case of FIG. . For reference, the present invention may be specialized in providing information on tourism information for an island region (island) and providing an image for tourist attractions in an island region, and through this, in order to provide users with sufficient data about the insufficient island trip. do.

11 is a diagram illustrating another example of an image provided when a thumbnail displayed on a map is selected in the image information providing apparatus and image information providing method according to the present invention.

In the image stored in the image database 130 of the image information providing apparatus 1000 according to the present invention, a VR image, which is a virtual reality image, may be stored in addition to an image captured using a 360-degree camera. In addition, the avatar 13 of identification information connected to the image may be displayed and displayed, and the avatar 13 of identification information connected to the same image in the same time period may be displayed together as shown in the drawing. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy a virtual tour to the tourist point together by accessing it like a game in an environment built with virtual reality. And, since the experience in the virtual reality image can be recorded by the recording unit 180 and stored based on the identification information, the effect of allowing the user to save the experience in the virtual reality with a person traveling together as a precious memory there is also

The image information providing apparatus and image information providing method according to the present invention include an image information providing apparatus 100 that serves to provide tourism information and images specialized for an island region, and a map and a map from the image information providing apparatus 100 It may be composed of an external terminal 200 that receives information such as a thumbnail 10 to be displayed together. In addition, the external terminal 200 accessing the image information providing apparatus 100 may be a smart phone, a tablet, etc., but is not limited thereto, and the image information providing apparatus 100 through the Internet, etc. ) is included in the concept of the external terminal 200 understood in the present invention if it is a device that can be provided with a map and the like.

13 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing image information according to the present invention.

The image information providing method according to the present invention can be performed from the process of first receiving, through the transceiver 110, the scale information of the map displayed from the external terminal 200, etc. (S13-1), and According to the scale information, the display grade determining unit 140 may perform a process of determining the display grade. (S13-2) This may be performed in real time whenever the scale information is changed.

After the display grade is determined by the display grade determining unit 140, the process of extracting images having grade information on the display grade in the image database 130 through the image extracting unit 150 may be performed (S13) -3), the thumbnails 10 for the extracted images may be displayed on a map provided by the map providing unit 120 to the external terminal 200 through the information displaying unit 160 (S13-4). ) More specifically, when the thumbnail 10 is displayed on the map, it may be displayed corresponding to the location information included in the thumbnail 10, and also in a size corresponding to the grade information included in the thumbnail 10. It can be adjusted and displayed on the map.

In the process of changing the thumbnails 10 displayed on the map according to the changed scale in this way, when any one thumbnail 10 is selected (S13-5), it is selected from among the images stored in the image database 130. A process in which a first additional point is given to images having the same category information as the category information of the thumbnail 10 may be performed (S13-6), and at about the same time, the selected thumbnail 10 is displayed in the center, A process of displaying the map by increasing the currently displayed scale information by a preset amount may be performed. (S13-7) Next, a process of checking whether the selected thumbnail 10 is released may be performed, When the selection of touch or click on the selected thumbnail 10 is canceled, the process of canceling the first additional point may be performed. (S13-9) Through this, the method for providing image information according to the present invention can achieve the effect of preventing the information from being limited to only the subject and at the same time allowing the content of the subject selected by the user to be more expressed on the map.

Next, when the image reproduction request information for the selected thumbnail 10 is received through the transceiver 110 , the control unit 170 provides an image for the thumbnail 10 from the image database 130 . may be performed (S13-11), and in this process, a process of adding a second additional point to the rating information of images having the same category information as the category information of the thumbnail 10 selected in this process may be performed (S13-11).
