Description

Copyright notice for multimedia content {DISPLAY METHOD FOR COPYRIGHT ASSOCIATION OF MULTIMEDIA CONTENTS}

The present invention relates to a copyright-related display method of multimedia content, and more particularly, to display the information on the LCD window so that the user can recognize the information about the copyright which affects the number and duration of playback of the content of the moving picture terminal (VOD). A copyright display method for multimedia content.

A video terminal (VOD) currently being developed is configured to download and store multimedia contents in a storage medium to play stored contents or to receive and play streaming in real time from a video terminal server.

At present, the copyright problem of moving picture terminal contents is not so much a problem. However, in relation to the copyright of the content, the playback period, the number of times of playback, the transfer of files to other storage media, and the destruction of files will become important issues.

The specific method for displaying copyright-related information of the currently downloaded content is unclear between the CP company, the device manufacturer, and each operator. In the future, when a copyright-related problem occurs, the terminal should provide the necessary information to the user.

Currently, the simplest example is to limit the number of times the downloaded content is played for copyright protection.

Since there are no commercially available moving picture terminals, it is difficult to determine the exact situation of how the terminal companies display them.

In one example, a company displays a list of downloaded contents as a number of times of playing / playing the total number of times of playing, simply next to the title of the contents.

However, in the copyright-related display of such conventional multimedia contents, the size of the bulkhead terminal LCD is not as wide as a general PC or PDA. Therefore, it is difficult to display various copyright information beside the title of the contents of the library as above.

In addition to the number of times of reproduction, the playable period, whether to copy the content to another medium, the date of destruction of the content, etc. need to be indicated as information for copyright protection that is expected in the future.

Accordingly, the present invention was conceived in view of the above-mentioned usefulness, and each service provider selects the content to download by accessing a video terminal (VOD) content server in order to display information for copyright protection to the user. And the server company sends information such as copyright information (copyright or company, playable period or number of times of playback) and information related to the content (file size, playing time) to the terminal, and the terminal first sends the information. Store the contents in a storage medium and download the contents, and the terminal indexes the first received information and the contents file by file name, matches the information, and manages the information. When the user wants to know the information, Furthermore it is an object to provide a method of displaying multimedia content copyright to be possible to tell the reproduction of the content / No Whether using this information to the user.

1 is a flow chart showing a copyright related display method of the present invention multimedia content.

Figure 2 is an exemplary view showing a display window in the active mode of the present invention.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a terminal for downloading a multimedia content and storing it in a storage medium to play a stored content program, selecting a playback file among the programs of the content, and pressing a select or confirm button. A first step of determining whether the selected program is allowed for copyright information; And a second process of reproducing the selected file if the selected program is allowed in the copyright information, and displaying a reason for the non-playback if the selected program is not permitted in the copyright information.

Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a copyright related display method of a multimedia content of the present invention, in which a multimedia file is downloaded and stored in a storage medium to play a program of the stored content, as shown in FIG. A first step of selecting and determining whether the selected program is allowed for copyright information by pressing a selection or confirmation button; When the selected program is allowed to the copyright information, the selected file is played, and if the selected program is not allowed to the copyright information, a second process of displaying a reason for not being able to play is described. As follows.

First, when a terminal user accesses a video content server (VOD) content server and selects a content to download, each provider and server company transmits copyright information of the corresponding content to the terminal.

Accordingly, the terminal indexes and matches information such as information related to the received content (file size, playing time) and the content file with a file name, and manages the information.

The operation of the present invention is largely divided into a passive mode in which the terminal itself informs the user that the file is not playable and an active mode in which the user directly selects copyright and related information of the content.

In this case, when the user selects a content to be played in the library, the passive mode opens a popup window to inform the user of the reason why the selected content cannot be played when the selected content is not playable compared to copyright information.

If the content file is allowed to be compared with the copyright information, the selected file is played.

If the passive mode selection or confirmation button is not pressed after selecting the content file to be played, it is determined whether the "*" button is pressed to select the active mode.

To be provided.

That is, the terminal displays the title of the selected content file, the production company, the expiration date, the number of viewing validity, the file size, and whether the file is copied.
