Description

File type and program for multimedia file sharing and playback {File type and player for Multimedia on demend system}

The present invention provides the user with the convenience and efficiency of retrieving and playing multimedia files on the user's computer, and enables interworking of advertising systems and other programs for the revenue model of suppliers who supply programs.

This is a way of sharing multimedia files so that they can be played without moving the data by sharing the information that each data has, not the original data. Therefore, apart from the original data file, it creates a specific type of data file format, including author, title, location (URL), and story (note).

Previously, multimedia sharing and replaying programs search for original data present in each and move and save the data to their own computer or other location. Play by searching and sharing. This allows you to share only brief data information without having to move large volumes of data over long periods of time. In addition, copying and storing the previous data on a specific hard (storage) method is a case where unauthorized continuous copying is neglected and the subject of the act is unclear. However, the present invention can take appropriate protection against licenses and copyrights by clearly defining the location for multimedia files.

Another feature of the present invention is that when the user configures the multimedia file information, new contents can be made by adding contents such as the reason for registering the file in addition to the information about the original multimedia file. In other words, the same multimedia file can be created by creating another new work, which can bring different sympathy depending on who is introducing or playing it for some reason and method. It is similar to including multimedia-related information when editing or authoring a multimedia file. However, it can be delivered to users who play it by attaching intention to edit in addition to basic data size, author, owner, and other information.

The present invention provides a method for sharing and playing multimedia data, such as searching and distributing the method, and technical problems to share only the attribute information of multimedia data without the original data movement and to play or exchange them on a network. The main purpose is to solve. Therefore, in case of distributing or distributing multimedia files on the network as well as offline, the information is transmitted only on the properties, not the original data, and the user executes the information on the network. To do so.

In order to accomplish the above object, the attribute information related to the multimedia file is stored and managed in a specific file format (SP, SPL tentative name) proposed by the present invention, and the SL and SPL files are unique file formats set by the present invention. Is a data format that defines the properties of each multimedia data. '.SPL' is a data format defined by listing '.SP'.

In addition to the author, title, data size, and type defined at the time of writing, '.SP' and '.SPL' refer to classification, intent to edit (such as stories), location information of multimedia files, copyright protection or paid services defined by the user. Includes authentication methods for Therefore, the user can collect the dictionary information before executing the original multimedia data and can more clearly sympathize with the author and editor's intention and selectively play back.

In addition, this file type acts as a kind of controller so that the location of the original multimedia file can be found and played on the user's computer.

In other words, the user can play wherever he is with only the information of the multimedia file. Providers can also minimize the physical media (storage) for distributing multimedia files and expand their distribution opportunities.

In addition to the basic distribution, sharing, and playback methods, when a SPL is played using the sponge playback unit, a provider or operator may be configured to insert information, advertisements, etc., sequentially between playlists (SPL) at regular intervals. To provide them with an operational base and revenue model.

For the implementation of the sponge consists of three parts. It consists of a server unit that manages the basic network service sector for sponge use, a storage unit where original multimedia data is located, and a user unit that allows users to create, edit, and play SPs and SPLs.

The server unit is composed of a web server unit constituting a network with the user, a database unit for data management, an application server unit for managing the SP and SPL, and an advertisement server unit for advertisement.

The user unit is a search unit for searching information and multimedia data, a storage unit for the user to author or edit multimedia data information, a storage unit for setting the use environment, and multimedia data using SP and SPL. It consists of a playback section that can be played back.

In addition, there is a storage unit that can belong to an external operating environment that is neither included in this operating environment. This storage section stores the original multimedia data.

The user registers the information about the multimedia data by using the storage unit of the user environment.

Registration can be the data portion of the sponge server portion, or a location you specify. Multimedia data information is stored and managed in the form of '.SP'. SP includes author, title, classification, type, file location, reason for editing (such as story), and authentication format. The user analyzes the saved database or .SP file stored in the user's designated location by using the search function of the user environment and the application server of the server part and imports it to the own computer. Each .SP file can be selected and edited and saved as a single .SPL file.The edited SPL can be saved in a user-defined storage, and the information is saved using the sponge web server or the user's storage. And share. Alternatively, you can forward your edited .SPL file to other users for immediate playback using the sponge user experience player.

The operator can use the ad server to insert and play advertisements and other information at regular intervals when the SPL is played in the user environment.The SPL can be distributed by distributing the SP provided by the multimedia data provider through on and offline. can.

The present invention allows anyone to create and edit new content by providing a file format for re-editing and identifying attributes of multimedia data. In addition to the development of the network, the use of multimedia data can be distributed, reproduced, and shared using only information values beyond the unreasonable ownership form, which is redundantly stored, thereby minimizing costs and clearly protecting the rights of suppliers, editors, and users. You can. In addition, it is possible to solve the problem of efficiency and cost in managing and operating a system that supplies or shares multimedia files by acquiring advertisement, PR, and information providing means by agreement with users.
