Hereinafter, a webcasting method by the interaction of a client and a server of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The method of the present invention is a webcasting method capable of organizing / producing specific content by an interaction between a client and a server in the Internet, and is produced in a conventional broadcasting station by an interaction between an internet user (client) and a web server. Almost all content can be organized and produced and distributed freely through the Internet.

2 shows an example of a configuration of a web server 40 in which the method of the present invention is performed, which includes a web server control unit 402, a mail server 404, a main source storage unit 406, and storage means. (42) includes a content storage unit 1 (422), a content storage unit 2 (424), and the like. For convenience of explanation, a web server for performing the method of the present invention is assumed to be 40.

The web server controller 402 is configured using a Pentium or an MPU having a higher processing speed as a main controller used to provide a service according to a signal requested from a client PC. In addition, the content storage unit 1 (422) and the content storage unit 2 (424) is for storing the content generated by the interaction with the client PC, the music storage data, image, video data, etc. are stored in the storage units, respectively. In addition, the mail server 404 records the e-mail addresses of the clients, and transmits the contents stored in the content storage units 1, 2 (422, 424) as needed. In addition, the main source storage unit 406 stores the source for the client to organize / produce, these are transmitted to the client PC is displayed and displayed through a web browser.

In the method of the present invention performed in the web server having the above configuration, the first step of requesting at least one of the client PCs to access the web server, and confirming whether the access request is input from the client PC and confirming that the member is a regular member. In this case, the second step of transmitting data for output of the menu screen and outputting the member registration menu if the member is not a regular member, and the main source corresponding to the menu according to the specific menu inputted from the client PC after the menu screen is displayed. And a fourth step of storing the content production data when the content production data is transmitted from the client PC according to the display screen transmitted in the third step.

3 is a flowchart for explaining the method of the present invention as described above with reference to this as follows. First, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that one client PC 10 requests a connection to the web server 40.

When the client PC 10 is connected to the Internet and enters the URL of the web server 40 and requests a connection, the web server 40 first determines whether the client PC 10 requesting the connection is a regular member. . This can be confirmed, for example, by receiving member ID and password data.

In other words, when the client PC 10 requests access by inputting the URL of the website, the web server 40 sends the web page data containing the contents for inputting the member ID and password to the client PC 10. send. The web browser of the client PC 10 displays the screen on which the user can recognize based on this data. Fill in the required Member ID and Password fields and send it. The web server 40 transmits the menu data to the client PC 10 to output the menu if the member ID and password entered are correct. If you are not a full member, the menu screen for membership registration is displayed. Or, if a member is registered using a technology such as a cookie, a member can be automatically confirmed the next time the user accesses.

After being confirmed as a regular member, the menu data transmitted to the client PC 10 is displayed with a menu screen for selecting music composition menu data, image / video menu data, and text menu data. This is the menu for interaction between the client and the web server. The client can select and click the specific function he wants on the menu screen. The menu data actually becomes an authoring toolkit that can be used to create content.

When the client selects the music composition menu, the web server 40 transmits menu data (main source data) corresponding to the menu to the client PC 10. The menu screen for the composition is output on the web browser screen according to the transmitted web page data. The main sources are stored in the main source storage unit 406 of the web server 40 and then transmitted after being read by the web server controller 402 according to a menu signal input from the client PC 10.

FIG. 4 illustrates an embodiment displayed on the web browser screen of the client PC 10 when a menu for music composition is selected. This is the content displayed through the web browser of the client PC 10 after the main source is transmitted from the web server 40.

As shown in the drawing, a wrong line for music composition, a menu for setting notes, and the like are displayed. The client may position specific notes on the web browser screen by dragging and dropping using a mouse. After this position, the client can save and send the composition by pressing the Save and Send button.

You can also enter lyrics. Lyrics data is also stored and transmitted to the web server 40 by the save and transfer buttons. When the web server 40 receives a signal for storage and transmission, the web server 40 stores it in the content storage unit 1 422 or the content storage unit 2 424 for each member ID. As described above, the music composition data may be transmitted and stored in a state in which the music composition data is composed in advance on the stair position instead of the composition in the state connected to the web server 40.

5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen output when an image / video production is selected on a menu screen.

As shown, a pull down menu for selecting a particular video or image is displayed. The client can select the video or image and then synthesize it to produce a new video. In addition, it is also possible to insert an image and a video produced by oneself rather than an image and a video provided by the web server 40. In this case, the client prepares the video before inserting it.

When the production of the image and video is completed, the client can also store the production file in the content storage units 1 and 2 of the web server 40 by using the save and transfer buttons. For this purpose, it is preferable that the content storage units 1 and 2 separately store composition data, images, videos, and the like. In addition to producing music compositions or images and videos, it is also possible to produce text data. This can be easily created using a conventional text production program or the like.

As described above, when one of the music composition, the image, the video, and the text is completed, the synthesis process with another production file can be further selected. This is to create a music performance file with images and videos by combining the pre-produced image, video file and music composition file in order for the client to create their own unique work. Of course, text files can be combined. In this manner, the client can complete a music file including an image and a video. The completed music file is stored in the content storage unit 1 or the content storage unit 2 of the web server 40.

Therefore, the client stores the music composition data, the image, the video data, etc. in the web server 40, and when necessary, by combining the files to create their own unique work. The client who created the content can check the contents by downloading and executing the completed file. If you are dissatisfied with the content, it is possible to correct it through correction.

The list of music files and video files completed as above is posted on the bulletin board. While posted on the bulletin board, you can check the file by downloading the file and executing it on the client PC at the request of other clients.

Alternatively, as described above, the contents of the work can be delivered to a plurality of clients by e-mail while stored in a digital file. In other words, you can always provide updated content to meet the needs of clients looking for new work. This is performed by the mail server 404 installed in the web server 40. The mail server 404 sends specific content to the email address of the client recorded in the mailing list.

In the above description, the music composition has been described mainly, but it is also possible to produce a video based on images and videos. In this case, music becomes a subordinate factor, and it is clear that videos can be films, dramas, experimental works, documentaries, and amateurs. It is clear that by the method of the present invention, content similar to all content produced in a conventional broadcasting station can be produced.

As described above, the method of the present invention can be produced according to their own preferences and capabilities that netizens (clients) have organized themselves, compared to unilateral broadcasting based on contents produced by conventional Internet broadcasting stations. There is an advantage in making fresh and always experimental work. In particular, the web server 40 according to the present invention provides a basic tool (music production tool, video production tool, etc. according to the menu screen) and so can facilitate the production process of the broadcast that the conventional users could not easily approach, Moreover, there is an advantage that the contents can be produced by simply clicking on the required content in the Wiegwick method.

Moreover, the viewers of the broadcast have the advantage of receiving content comfortably in the form of an e-mail sent at regular intervals by subscribing to the stations of their favorite community, visiting the website in person, or joining the mailing list. . This is done by the mail server.

As described above, according to the present invention, when a client produces an image, a video content, or a music composition content using a tool provided by a web server, the client may induce voluntary participation by the netizens since it is periodically transmitted to the client by e-mail. In addition, it also provides an opportunity to participate directly to users who did not participate in the conventional broadcast production.

Although the invention has been described in detail only with respect to the described embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and variations can be made within the spirit and scope of the invention, and such variations or modifications will belong to the appended claims. .
