Description

Web broadcasting system and method

The present invention relates to a web broadcasting system and method, and more particularly, to a system and method for enabling MP3 web broadcasting using a NULLSOFT Shoutcast server and a winamp.

Internet broadcasting using streaming technology such as real audio and VOD has been gradually activated due to the spread of high speed communication networks such as cable modem and ADSL. Currently, MP3 broadcasting using Shoutcast server and Winamp has secured a good base not only in Korea but also in the world. The number of users is increasing. Shoutcast server that can operate internet station without additional equipment and MP3 broadcasting using Winamp can share the music that you want to listen to with many people, and you can also put a comment in the middle of the music. The most common form of operation of stations.

However, in the MP3 broadcasting using the Shoutcast server and the Winamp, the server checks the IP of the logged in cyber jockey and then performs a function of generating and transmitting a playlist file to each listener. There is a disadvantage in that no communication is made between the users, so it can be a boring broadcast.

Complementing these shortcomings, MP3 broadcasting, which provides simple bulletin boards, mailing lists, and chat rooms, is being serviced.However, communication between cyber jockeys and listeners is not stable and communication cannot be actively carried out on different websites. There are disadvantages.

Accordingly, the present invention has been proposed to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to perform various communication between the listener and the cyber jockey, which may induce the interest of the listener, and the MP3 file requested from the listener. By simplifying the search and registration process, Cyber Jockey can perform music broadcasting easily and efficiently, and analyze the music tastes of the listeners and send a valid advertisement or information to the listeners to make profits and web based on Winamp It is to provide a broadcast system and method.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a web server (1) for providing a basic interface for accessing the Internet to the cyber jockey and the general listener; A message server (2) supporting communication between the listener and the cyber jockey and the service company and delivering valid information and advertisements of the service company; A DB server (3) for storing cyber jockey information, broadcasting related information, bulletin boards, chat rooms and the like, and performing hierarchical and preference analysis according to the music tastes of the connected listeners and storing them as a music taste database; And a cyber jockey and a general listener's PC 4, which are connected to the Internet and have hardware and software necessary for broadcast progress and listening.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a view showing the overall configuration of a web broadcasting system according to the present invention, the present invention is a web server (1), a message server (2), a DB server (3) and the cyber jockey and the general listener's PC (4) consist of.

The web server 1 provides a basic interface to the cyber jockey and the user, and the message server 2 supports communication between the cyber jockey, the listener, and the service company to deliver a message input from the listener to the cyber jockey or to send messages between the listeners. Send and receive valid information or advertisement provided by the service company to the listener.

Save it. The service company transmits the advertisement or information valid to the listener to the advertisement and information delivery area of the message software for the listener by using the message server 2 based on the music taste database.

Cyber Jockey's PC (4) should be equipped with sound card, Shoutcast server, Winamp, plug-in for broadcasting, message software for cyber jockey, and broadcast explorer which is dynamically connected to message software for cyber jockey. PC 4 must be equipped with sound card, Winamp, and message software for listeners. In voice and video broadcasting, both the cyber jockey's PC 4 and the listener's PC 4 should be equipped with a microphone and a PC camera.

FIG. 2 is an overall flowchart of a web broadcasting method according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a detailed flowchart of a communication performing step between a listener and a cyber jockey and a service company in FIG.

First, the cyber jockey and the general listener are connected to the homepage of the Internet by the web server 1 (S1). Next, when the cyber jockey is registered as a member by inputting personal information, a broadcast genre, a broadcasting target, a broadcasting time, or the like as shown in FIG. Information of the jockey and the general listener is stored in the DB server 3 (S2).

The information of the cyber jockey, the broadcast genre, the broadcast time, etc. are displayed in the column (S4).

When the listener logs in by inputting an ID and password, the message software for the listener is displayed on the screen of the logged-in listener PC 4 as shown in FIG. 6 (S5), and the listener selects one of the broadcasts displayed in the broadcast guide column of the homepage. If selected, the playlist file of the broadcast selected by the listener is downloaded to the listener PC 4 and the Winamp is executed to reproduce the MP3 file (S6).

During the broadcast, the listener and the cyber jockey and the service company can communicate with each other using the message server 2 (S7), and this communication step can be divided into more detailed steps as follows.

Upon receiving the desired song or story from the listener through the message software for the listener (S8), the cyber jockey's broadcast explorer automatically searches for the desired song input from the listener locally on the cyber jockey PC 4 to execute the message software for the cyber jockey.
