Description

A method for providing content information and a user terminal providing content information {Method and Device for providing contents information}

The present invention relates to a method for providing content information and a user terminal for providing content information, and more particularly, to a method and user terminal for providing additional information in response to a user's input for content information.

In recent years, with the development of wireless Internet and mobile terminals, users have developed from a method of downloading and playing content such as music to a streaming method in order to enjoy content such as music. As the streaming method evolves, the user can access a larger amount of content, but on the contrary, there is a disadvantage in that it is difficult for the user to search for content that suits his or her taste. In order to solve this problem, the technology for recommending content according to the user's current emotional state is also developing.

Currently, many content recommendation technologies have a method of recommending content similar to the features of content frequently used by a user as much as possible. However, the content desired by the user may vary depending on the situation, and there is a problem in that it is difficult for a server including a recommendation algorithm or artificial intelligence to recognize such a situation every time, so the utilization of the recommendation technology is low.

In order to solve this problem, there is a need for a method of recommending content by receiving direct feedback from a user. In particular, it is possible to recommend content more suited to the user's taste by directly providing a portion of the content to the user and allowing the user to quickly give feedback on the content.

Specifically, the user terminal 100 may provide a UI 610 through which the user may perform a user input for content. In one embodiment, the UI 610 may include an element 620 so that the user may perform a user input through a touch.

Specifically, the element 620 may be configured in the form of a card representing information of content. In this case, the user may perform a user input by touching the element 620 . In one embodiment, the user may input the user's taste for the content by touching the element 620 . As a more specific embodiment, referring to the step of detecting a user input described in FIG. 5 , the user may perform a user input by sliding the element 620 in the upper direction. In this case, the user terminal 100 or the server may determine that the user has displayed the preference for the content as 'Like'. Conversely, the user may perform a user input by sliding the element 620 in a downward direction. In this case, the user terminal 100 or the server may determine that the user has displayed preference for content as 'dislike'.

In other embodiments, there may be more predetermined inputs than just two types of inputs. In a specific embodiment, when the element 620 is long-pressed in addition to the two types of inputs described above, it may be determined that the user is withholding selection of content preference. Alternatively, when the element 620 is slid and touched left and right, it may be determined that the user passes without inputting a taste for the content. As another embodiment, the UI 610 may be configured so that a user can select an arranged button. Specifically, buttons such as 'like', 'dislike', and 'pass' may be displayed on the UI 610 , and the user may select any one of them and input the user's taste for the content.

Alternatively, the user terminal 100 may control the display unit 110 to rearrange the location of the UI on the display unit 110 in response to a user input. Specifically, when the user slides the element 620 in the upper direction, the element 620 may be displayed on at least a portion of the display unit 110 in a small manner. Conversely, when the user slides the element 620 in the downward direction, the element 620 may be removed from the display unit 110 . In this way, the UI 610 may be configured such that the user performs any one of various predetermined inputs in response to the content. A method for a user to input a taste for content is not limited to the above-described embodiment and may be performed in various ways.

The user terminal 100 may provide the user with feedback on the user input as additional information 710 . Specifically, when the user indicates a preference for content as 'Like', the additional information 710 may be in a form in which a graphic object with a thumb pointing upward is displayed on the display unit 110 . Conversely, when the user performs a user input by sliding the element 620 in a downward direction, the user terminal 100 adds a graphic object in the form of a thumb pointing downwards to be displayed on the display unit 110 . Information 710 may be provided.

In another embodiment, the additional information 710 is information not provided to the user among the information about the content received by the user terminal 100 from the server, such as the first type information 320 and 330 and the second type information 410 . can be Specifically, when the user terminal 100 provides only the title of the content to the user as the second type information 410 , the user terminal 100 provides the user with the additional information 710 as the second information 710 in response to the user input of the content. Artist information of the content included in the type information 410 may be provided. That is, the additional information 710 may include at least a portion of the first type information 320 and 330 and the second type information 410 . Specifically, the additional information 710 includes feedback information of other users on the content, information on other users who have fed back the content, information to guide the user in relation to the user's feedback, and information related to feedback among highlights of the provided content. may include

Alternatively, when the user does not perform the user input, the user terminal 100 may provide the user with additional information 710 to induce the user to perform the user input. Specifically, the user terminal 100 may provide the user with a phrase such as 'If you like music, Thumb up' as the additional information 710 .

Hereinafter, the providing stop step ( S270 ) will be described with reference to FIG. 8 .

8 is a flowchart of a method for providing content information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the providing stop step (S270), when a predetermined time elapses after the user terminal 100 detects the user input, the user terminal 100 provides at least one of the highlight of the content being provided to the user, the UI, the first type information, and the second type information. It is a step to stop. Here, when the user terminal 100 stops providing, it may include all information being provided to the user.

In one embodiment, when the user inputs the user's taste for the content by performing the user input, the user terminal 100 may stop providing information on the corresponding content and provide the next content. In this case, whether to stop providing or to provide the next content in response to the user input may be determined based on the timing of the user input. - Specifically, when the user input is performed after the second type information providing step (S250), the user has been provided with both the first type information 320 and 330 and the second type information 410 from the user terminal 100 Therefore, when a user input is detected, the provision of at least any one of the highlight of the content being provided to the user, the UI, the first type information and the second type information, etc. may be immediately stopped. On the other hand, when the user input is performed in the first type information providing step S240 , the user has been provided with the first type information 320 and 330 from the user terminal 100 but the second type information 410 has not been provided. Therefore, when a user input is detected, the user terminal 100 may immediately provide the second type information to the user without interrupting the provision of the content being provided, such as highlight, UI, and first type information. Specifically, FIG. Referring to 8, a method of providing content information according to a user input time of a user is shown. When the user terminal 100 provides the user with a UI with the highlight of the content (S810) and provides the first type information (S820), the second type information may be provided after a predetermined time. In this case, the user may perform a user input before or after the elapse of a predetermined time (S830).

When the user inputs a user input before a predetermined time elapses, the user terminal 100 may immediately provide the second type information to the user ( S850 ). As described above, this is because the user has been provided with the first type information 320 and 330 from the user terminal 100 but has not received the second type information 410 from the user terminal 100 .

On the other hand, when the user does not perform a user input until a predetermined time has elapsed, the user terminal 100 may provide the second type information to the user after a predetermined time has elapsed. In this case, when the user performs user input after receiving the second type information, the user receives both the first type information 320 and 330 and the second type information 410 from the user terminal 100, so the user input When this is detected, it is possible to immediately stop providing content that is being provided to the user, such as highlight, UI, first type information, and second type information.

In addition, if a user input is not detected, the user terminal 100 may stop providing content highlighting, UI, first type information, and second type information to the user at the point in time when the provided content highlighting ends. have. Specifically, when the user does not perform a user input while the highlight of the content is being provided, the user terminal 100 may determine that the user does not intend to input the corresponding content and provide the next content.

Alternatively, it may be determined based on the type of user input to stop providing or to provide the next content in response to the user input. Specifically, the user can input the user's taste for the content through the user input, and as in the above-described embodiment, the user slides the element 620 in the upper direction to display the preference for the content as 'Like'. If it is determined that the user has clearly indicated his/her preference for the content, it is possible to stop providing information on the content and provide the next content. Similarly, even when it is determined that the user has expressed a preference for content as 'dislike', it is possible to stop providing information on the corresponding content and provide the next content. On the other hand, when the user performs an input such as withholding selection without clearly indicating preference for the content, more information on the content may be provided. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment, and even if the user clearly indicates a preference for the content, it will be possible to provide more information on the content.

9 is a diagram illustrating a time domain of a method for providing content information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9 , a highlight providing time 910 may be divided into a plurality of time domains. Specifically, when the user terminal 100 provides the user with 30 seconds from 1 minute 20 seconds to 1 minute 50 seconds as the highlight of the content to the user, 10 seconds from 1 minute 20 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds are the first time. A region 920, 10 seconds from 1 minute 30 seconds to 1 minute 40 seconds may be divided into a second time region 930, and 10 seconds from 1 minute 40 seconds to 1 minute 50 seconds may be divided into a third time region 940. .

The example shown in FIG. 9 is an example of a plurality of areas, and may be divided into more various methods and numbers of areas. In this case, an element of the second type information may be changed according to a time domain in which a user input is performed among a plurality of time domains in the second type information providing step S250 . Specifically, referring to FIG. 9 , the user terminal 100 may provide the first type information together with the highlight of the content at a time point of 1 minute and 20 seconds.

In addition, the second type information may be provided at a time point of 1 minute and 40 seconds by setting the predetermined time to 20 seconds. In this case, when the user performs a user input in the first time region 920 , the user terminal 100 may provide other content information of the artist together with the artist information of the content as the second type information.

If the user directly performs a user input in the first time region 920 in which time has not passed since the highlight of the content is provided, there is a high possibility that the user has a high preference for the content or already knows the artist of the content or content well. Because it is high, it is possible to provide information on different content of the same artist together. Specifically, information on other content of the same artist may be provided in the form of a button allowing the user to quickly access other content of the same artist as the artist of the content for which the user inputted.

Also, when the user performs a user input in the second time region 930 , the user terminal 100 may provide direct information about the content, such as the title of the content and the artist information of the content, as second type information.

When a user inputs a user input in the second time region 930 after a certain period of time has elapsed after the highlight of the content is provided, it is highly likely that the user has been concerned about the preference of the corresponding content. be able to perform

In addition, when the user performs a user input in the third time domain 940 , the user terminal 100 has already provided the second type information, but may additionally provide content information of similar genres of other artists together. Specifically, information on content of a similar genre of another artist may be provided in the form of a button that allows the user to quickly access content of a genre similar to the content to which the user has inputted.

The above-described embodiment is one embodiment of information provided according to a user input for each time domain, and information on content may be provided by more various methods.
