The same or corresponding components are given the same reference numerals and redundant description thereof will be omitted.

1 is a block diagram schematically illustrating an entire system for performing a method for providing content related to broadcast contents according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

According to FIG. 1, the entire system includes a terminal 10, a broadcaster 20, a content mapping server 30, and a content providing server 40.

The terminal 10 includes all the mobile communication terminals 10, such as a PDA and a mobile phone. The terminal 10 has a broadcast service function such as TV, radio, DMB, satellite broadcasting, etc., so that the user can watch or listen to the broadcast.

In particular, in order to receive the content providing service to the terminal 10 according to the present invention, the terminal 10 must receive a broadcast received from the broadcaster 20 and be able to access the wireless Internet during the broadcast reception. In other words, while watching or listening to a broadcast, content that comes out of the broadcast may be provided while the viewer is watching or listening to the broadcast, or, if necessary, the content and related products may be purchased in real time.

The broadcaster 20 performs a function of providing a broadcast to the terminal 10. The broadcaster 20 according to the present invention refers to all broadcasters 20 that produce and provide a broadcast broadcast through a terminal 10 such as general TV broadcast, satellite broadcast, and DMB.

The content mapping server 30 performs a function of providing the terminal 10 with information or content on the corresponding content according to the information on the broadcast-related content or the purchase request from the terminal 10. Hereinafter, a service for providing content information or content related to a broadcast to the terminal 10 will be referred to as a content service. In addition, the content service according to the present invention may provide not only contents such as music, articles, images, etc., but also information related to general objects (products). For example, when a user views a broadcast of shoes in the broadcast contents through the terminal 10, the user may be provided with information related to the shoes, and may directly purchase the corresponding product through payment. The user may be provided with the corresponding goods offline by payment through the terminal 10. Of course the goods can not be provided through the terminal 10. Unlike general content, a content service for a product provides information corresponding to a product or provides a product purchase connection service. For example, information on a sales place, a product review, a community, and the like that are close to the current location of the terminal 10 using the sales place of the product or the location information of the terminal 10 is provided, and the content mapping server ( 30 may also provide a payment processing service according to a product purchase.

In addition, when the content mapping server 30 receives the content service request message from the terminal 10, the content mapping server 30 recognizes the broadcaster 20 providing the corresponding broadcast and receives broadcast program information from the broadcaster 20. The broadcast program information may be received and stored in advance, and may be received in real time as needed. Thereafter, the broadcast program information and the content service request message are mapped to recognize the corresponding content, and corresponding content data (content information or content) is provided. In this case, the content information of the content data does not provide content, but searches for and provides related information. Of course, the contents can be transmitted together. For example, when requesting an information service for arbitrary music content, information related to music is first provided, not corresponding music. When receiving a request for content from the terminal 10, the corresponding content is provided. Preferably, the content mapping server 30 first provides the content information, and provides the content according to the content request of the user. Of course, in the case of paid content, the purchase of the content is processed along with payment processing according to the purchase decision. In another method, the content service request message transmitted from the user's terminal 10 includes a message indicating whether the user wants the information corresponding to the content or the content. To provide corresponding content data.

The content providing server 40 performs a function of providing content requested from the content mapping server 30. Therefore, a plurality of content servers may exist to provide various contents, and a plurality of contents may be provided by one content providing server 40. That is, the content providing server 40 recognizes the corresponding content in the content mapping server 30 according to the content service requested from the terminal 10, and content data related thereto does not exist in the content mapping server 30 itself. The corresponding content is received from the terminal 10 and provided to the terminal 10.

A procedure for providing a content service will be described later in detail with reference to the drawings.

2A is a block diagram showing the configuration of a content mapping server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The content mapping server 30 according to FIG. 2A includes a database 32, a mapping unit 34, a service processor 36, and a transceiver 38.

The database 32 stores a broadcast program information and content data received from the broadcaster 20. Here, the broadcast program information is not stored separately, and when receiving a service request signal from the terminal 10, broadcast program information may be received from the broadcaster 20 corresponding thereto in real time. In addition, the service may be provided by receiving in real time from the content providing server 40 related to the corresponding content without separately providing the content data. Therefore, the database according to the embodiment of the present invention may not always store broadcast program information and content data but may be used as a temporary storage means.

The mapping unit 34 performs a function of recognizing the corresponding content in response to the content service request message received from the terminal 10. The corresponding content is recognized by mapping broadcast program information received in advance or in real time with a content service request message.

The service processor 36 performs a function of extracting content information or content corresponding to the content recognized by the mapping unit 34 to be transmitted to the terminal 10. The content information may extract information existing in the database or connect to an information related server such as a knowledge search server coupled through a communication network to receive corresponding content information and provide the same to the terminal 10. In addition, the content may extract the content existing in the database in the same manner, or may receive the corresponding content from the content providing server 40 and provide it to the terminal 10. Here, since the knowledge search server also provides information on knowledge, it is natural that one of the content providing servers 40 is provided.

The transceiver 38 receives a content service request message from the terminal 10, receives broadcast program information from the broadcaster 20, and performs a function of receiving content from the content providing server 40. That is, data transmission and reception through the communication network is performed.

Figure 2b is a block diagram showing the configuration of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to FIG. 2, the terminal 10 includes a broadcast control unit 11, a content service button 13, a content service request message generation unit 15, a data transmission / reception unit 17, and an output control unit 19.

The broadcast control unit 11 receives a broadcast transmitted from the broadcaster 20 and performs a function of controlling output through an output device such as a display device and a speaker. As described above, the terminal 10 according to the present invention is capable of broadcasting service functions such as television broadcasting, radio, and DMB. Accordingly, the broadcast control unit 11 performs or controls a broadcast reception and output function through the terminal 10.

The content service button 13 performs a connection function with the content mapping server 30 to receive a content service for broadcast related content during broadcast reception. That is, when the content service button 13 is pressed, the content mapping server 30 may be connected to receive a service for arbitrary content. For example, while watching a television broadcast through the display device of the terminal 10, if the music exposed to the broadcast is liked and the content service button 13 is pressed to download, the content mapping server 30 through the wireless communication network. ) Can be provided with content for the music. The content service button 13 may be an independent button and may be used by adding a function to any button. For example, in case of a mobile phone, when a call button is pressed while watching or listening to a broadcast, the terminal 10 may recognize that the content service button 13 is pressed.

The content service request message generator 15 generates a content service request message to be transmitted to the content mapping server 30 when the content service button 13 is pressed.

Here, the content service request message includes channel information and broadcast time information of the corresponding broadcast, and type information of a desired content. For example, when the terminal 10 is watching the broadcast information provided by the KBS1 broadcaster 20 at 11:10 and is curious about the music information that is being broadcast, the channel information (KBS1) and the time information (11:10) And a content service request message including content type information (music or sound). In this case, the time information may be provided up to a second unit, or may be an input time when the user presses the content service button 13 or a time interval of about 1,2 seconds from the input time.

In addition, the content service request message may further include an identifier to indicate that the information is processed in the content mapping server 30.

In addition, each information may be encoded and transmitted in a form that can be determined by the content mapping server 30. For example, the above information may be displayed as http: //! Kbs1 @ 111020 @ 01. Here, http: //! Indicates that the information is information transmitted from the gateway of the mobile communication network to the content mapping server 30, @ is a separator between fields, kbs1 is channel information, and 111020 is 11:10 am Time information representing 20 minutes, and 01 indicates that the type of content is sound (music).

In addition, the identifier for identifying the content type may be configured to be downloaded from a specific server of the mobile communication network and stored in the terminal 10. Through this, when a specific content type is to be downloaded while watching or listening to a broadcast, the content mapping server 30 may be provided with a service for the corresponding content by pressing a specific button additionally defined in the terminal 10. For example, an identifier corresponding to the contents of 'music' and 'religion' is stored, and if the music corresponds to the button corresponding to the number 1, the religion corresponds to the number 2, and if the button 1 is pressed, the music related content You will receive a corresponding service. Similarly, by pressing the second button, a content service request message including an identifier corresponding to the religious content may be generated to provide a content service related to the religion through the content mapping server 30.

In addition, when a specific button is pressed, the selected content type may be displayed to the user through the display device and connected to the user so that the user can check the content.

In another implementation, when a specific button (which may be the content service button 13) is pressed, the menu shows the type of content that can be applied for, and the content type identifier selected by the user in the menu is displayed in the content service request message. May be included. In this case, the content type identifier may be downloaded from a specific server through the mobile communication network and stored in the terminal 10.

For example, connecting to each button of the terminal 10 for each type of content may be configured as shown in Table 1 below.

number One 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Identifier sound Drawing religion adult location knowledge community shopping

It may also be assigned in association with a service function key in the terminal 10. For example, the same method as pressing the mp3 button of the terminal 10 in the case of sound and pressing the camera button in the case of a picture may be used.

Here, as described above, the general merchandise may be used in the same concept as the content, but may be separately used. Unlike general contents, since the product cannot be received through the terminal 10, the product may receive or purchase information about the product in real time. Therefore, when the content of the product, that is, the predetermined specific button of the terminal 10 is pressed, it is set to the product category instead of the general content. The goods are classified into categories such as food, clothes, shoes, electronic products, appliances, and the like, and a method such as a method of distinguishing the types of the above-described contents may be used. Alternatively, the product may be linked to shopping (button 8) among the above-described content types. That is, when the content type is set to shopping, the content mapping server 30 may recognize the content type as a product and provide product information such as information related to the corresponding product, place information for selling the product, and community information. have.

Therefore, the content service request message may include all kinds of content including a product and a form of providing data (related information and content). In addition, the content may include information on whether to purchase paid content and products.

The data transmission / reception unit 17 transmits the content service request message to the content mapping server 30 coupled through the communication network, and receives the content data corresponding to the content request message from the content mapping server 30. In addition, in order to receive content and content information corresponding to the content from the content providing server 40, the data transmission and reception function with the content providing server 40 also performs.

The output control unit 19 outputs the content data received from the broadcaster 20 and the content data received from the content mapping server 30 through a screen (display device) or a speaker. Here, since the content data is received while the broadcast is being output, the content data can be output to a part of the screen together with the broadcast. In addition, the broadcast output may be paused and content data may be output on the entire screen. The output of sound through the speaker may be the same as the output through the screen. In addition, it is also possible to further provide a flavor generating device, to provide a variety of flavors of food.

The content mapping server 30 may have a mapping table for mapping. A mapping table according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in Table 2 below.

Airtime Broadcaster program contents URL 200000-201020 kbs2 drama Ringtones mp3 photos shopping videos community offline places http://bell.magicn.com/~~ http://mp3.com/~~ http://picture.com/~~ http://lgshop.com/~~ http://empas.com/ ~~ http://daum.net/~~ http://naver.com/~~ 201020-202000 Kbs2 drama Photo videos http://picture.com/~~ http://yahoo.com/~~ … … … … …

The mapping table includes broadcast time, broadcaster, program, content, and URL. The broadcast time may be distinguished by grouping the time when there is no change in the type of content provided. For example, 20000-201020 in the first row of the mapping table can provide content corresponding to a specific ringtone, mp3, photo, shopping, video, or community from 20: 00: 00 to 20: 10: 20, and the second row. From 20:10:20 may provide content corresponding to pictures and videos. Here, the ringtone, mp3, and the like of the mapping table content field are contents such as a specific ringtone and mp3 corresponding to a program broadcast at a corresponding time. The URL is the address where the content actually exists. In the address of the ringtone content, http://bell.magicn.com/~~, the ~~ at the end of the address is the address where the specific ringtone content exists in the server providing the ringtone. Therefore, each ringtone has a separate address. The corresponding content may be received from the content providing server in which the corresponding content exists using the URL corresponding to the recognized content and provided to the terminal 10, and only the URL address may be transmitted to the terminal 10.

If the URL does not exist, you can connect to the server that provides the service. That is, the information about the mapped and recognized content may be transmitted to a specific server, and the corresponding content and the content information may be received and provided to the corresponding terminal 10.

Accordingly, as the content mapping server 30 receives the content service request message, the content mapping server 30 compares channel information, broadcast time information, and content type information in the request message with a mapping table to recognize content corresponding to the request message, and correspondingly. To provide the corresponding content.

Here, the mapping table may be separately provided for each broadcaster or broadcaster channel. For example, one mapping table is preset using broadcast information of kbs1, and a mapping table corresponding to broadcast information of kbs2 is separately set, such as mapping corresponding to each other by using broadcast information previously received for each broadcaster. You can create and set up tables.

Hereinafter, a procedure for providing a content service in the above-described system will be described in detail.
