The present invention relates to an electronic script management system related to production of a program such as a broadcast drama or news. More particularly, the present invention relates to various functions such as analyzing the script data and the image data and automatically storing and correlating the image data associated with the script data. The present invention relates to a system capable of effectively managing script and producing image data.

In the conventional script management method, the administrator managing the script directly inputs and manages information on the script on his computer. Therefore, the administrator printed and provided the scripts to the actors. That is, when the administrator edits the script, a method of printing and distributing the edited script to the actor every time the editing is used is used. However, the method of distributing the printed paper to all the actors every time the script is edited wastes time and money. In particular, when the script was revised, it was necessary to reprint and distribute the revised script as many as the number of steps and actors involved, and various problems occurred due to the different versions of the script. In addition, the modification of the script was not performed by only one person, but by several people, such as a writer or a director. In this case, it is important to know what the latest version of the script is, which is difficult to manage. For example, the writer modified version A's script to create version B's script, but the director did not know this and modified version A's script to create version C's script. Therefore, there is a demand for a method of accurately managing the version of the script and allowing the modification according to the correct version when the script is modified.

In addition, it is difficult to grasp the overall story flow because the scenes included in one shooting location are not actually photographed in the scene order of the script data. Also, it was difficult for the actors or the staff to refer to the images already taken. For example, several people could not refer to a recording tape at the same time to refer to the location of the props, costumes, and the atmosphere of the act. In addition, since the related image is not present on one tape but scattered on several tapes, it is difficult to refer to it.

On the other hand, according to the conventional video editing method, a person (mainly a scripter) who participated in shooting had to explain in detail the recorded tape when editing. For example, we had to tell which scenes were on that tape and which scene we were looking for at which location. Also, the scripter had to explain to the editor whether the scene or cut was an NG or OK cut. Therefore, after photographing scenes of various scenes through the film, it was necessary to cut the film according to each scene at the time of editing, and to attach the film according to the order of the drama again. At this time, the editor separated the captured image data into each scene by manually playing the image data. In this case, since the editor manually separated the image data into each scene according to the script, it took a considerable time to separate the captured image data into each scene. Accordingly, there is a need for a method and apparatus for more efficiently separating photographed image data into a scene.

In addition, since it was necessary to separately record and manage what the current unphotographed scene was, there was a case where an unphotographed scene was found and had difficulty in the final editing. Therefore, there is a demand for a method for facilitating such video editing using script data.

In addition, according to the recent trend, the frequency of reuse of image data photographed once is increasing. For example, if a specific scene (for example, a plane takes off) is needed, it is not photographed at that time, but by using some of the image data that was previously photographed to reduce the cost of broadcasting production. According to the related art, the administrator needed to input information necessary for retrieving such image data as meta information through manual labor. For example, the administrator has to separately input additional information on the image data, such as the title, the shooting date, and the shooting location of the image data, for a specific image data, which is a significant overload. In addition, since inputting the meta information takes a lot of time, the meta information input to the image data becomes very poor, and thus there is a problem that the meta information is not properly retrieved when the image data is searched.

On the other hand, video data used in broadcasting production typically has script data associated with it. According to the related art, such script data (used in documentaries, news, etc., as well as dramas) cannot be properly connected with video data. In this case, meta information is input separately. Therefore, if the script data and the image data are connected and stored, it is possible to search for the wider and more accurate image data using the script data. Accordingly, there is a demand for a more efficient video data retrieval method and system that enables the retrieval of image data using the script data by connecting the script data with the image data.

In the prior art, a single scene is photographed several times with respect to a specific scene, one scene is selected, and finally, one broadcast video data is generated by connecting the selected scenes. In this case, since unselected scenes are likely to be used later (for example, when collecting only NG scenes for use in broadcasting), storage and retrieval information is also required for the unselected scenes. In many cases, it was not stored separately. In addition, even when storing, since it takes a long time to input the meta information for retrieving the image data, since the meta information is not separately input to the image data for the unselected scenes, The search was based on the memory of the related parties. However, since video data that is not used for the final broadcast video data is increasingly used later, there is a demand for a method for facilitating the retrieval of such video data.

In addition, in the related art, when the script is completed, a scene list in which a shooting schedule is determined according to the script is separately produced. That is, the scene list is a shooting schedule table. The scene list is intended to improve the shooting efficiency by arranging the cases in which it is convenient to shoot at once, centering on an actor or a shooting location. In other words, similar scenes are collected according to the same shooting location, costume, props, and the like. The content contained in the scene list is a list having only the scenes in the order of shooting and the actors, props, places, and lights to be photographed, except for the dialogue and the fingerprint which occupy the largest proportion in the script. This list is divided between the staff and the actors, and according to this list, the time to wait for the actor, the scene to be prepared, the props, etc. is a list that should be made quickly and accurately. Therefore, in the related art, a specific person (mainly an FD) directly searches the script, manually sorts and checks places, actors, props, etc., and manually creates a corresponding list. Since these scene lists are manually created based on the script data, they are not only time-consuming but also can cause serious mistakes. For example, when shooting a foreign location is expensive, it is preferable to take a picture when shooting overseas. However, if the scene list is incorrectly created, a scene to be taken abroad remains after the overseas location is finished. In some cases, you may find it. Therefore, there is a demand for a method that can more accurately and efficiently create such a scene list. Therefore, in the present invention, all of the information is contained in the script and in the present system, the information is analyzed, classified, and managed to automatically create a scene list.

The present invention has been made to improve the prior art as described above, the script data is stored in a central script management server, users access the script management server through a communication network, such as the Internet to modify the script according to their rights The purpose of the present invention is to accurately manage the version of the script and to modify the script according to the correct version.

In addition, the present invention does not divide the image data manually by analyzing the captured image data, but automatically divides the image data into a plurality of scenes, so that the editor can perform the editing using less time when editing the captured image data. The purpose is to make sure.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to make it easy to grasp the current degree of shooting for each current scene, thereby facilitating the progress and editing of shooting.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to connect the script data and the image data and store them, so that the script data can be used as meta information for image data retrieval. In addition, by linking and storing the script data and the image data as described above, an object of the present invention is to enable more efficient and accurate retrieval of all image data including image data not used for the final broadcast image data. In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus capable of automatically connecting the script data and the image data using a voice recognition method.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to enable the creation of a scene list more accurately and efficiently by allowing the scene list to be automatically generated from the script data using cast information, shooting location information, and the like.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to store the script data and the image data in association with each other so that the actor or the staff can easily refer to the image taken by the script data.

In order to achieve the above object and to solve the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a central script management server and a central script management server for storing the scene data and the scene unit image data including the scene unit script data divided into scene units; And a user terminal module included in a connected user terminal and connected to the central script management server to receive a modification command for the script data from a user and transmit the command to the central script management server. When the central script management server receives a modification command for the script data from the user terminal, the script manager modifies the script data stored in the central script management server and inquires about the script data from a second user terminal after the modification. Upon receiving the request, the modified script data is transmitted to the second user terminal.

Electronic script management system according to an aspect of the present invention is a script input unit for receiving the script data divided into a plurality of scene units, an image input unit for receiving the image data divided into a plurality of scene units, the scene unit script data and the scene unit A connection information analyzer configured to generate connection information for connecting image data, and a connection information storage unit for storing the generated connection information together with the scene unit script data and the scene unit image data.

According to another aspect of the present invention, the script input unit for receiving the script data divided into a plurality of scene units, the image input unit for receiving the image data divided into a plurality of scene units, corresponding to one scene unit script data from the user A connection information analyzer configured to receive information of scene unit image data and to generate connection information connecting the scene unit script data and the scene unit image data; and the generated connection information to the scene unit script data and the scene unit image. An electronic script management system including a connection information storage unit for storing together with data is provided.

Electronic script management system according to another aspect of the present invention receives a typing input directly from the user, or receives a standardized script file, the script input unit for classifying information such as cast, fingerprint, dialogue, place, etc. stored in the server, the input A script analysis unit that analyzes the received information in units of scenes and cuts and stores them on the server, an image input unit that receives and transcodes the captured images into digital data, and stores them in the server, and scenes (segments) and cuts (shots). And an information analysis unit for extracting the information such as information) and storing the information in the server, and a connection information control unit for mapping the scenes and cuts of the scripts and the segments and shots of the images based on the script analysis information and the image analysis information.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described a preferred embodiment of the present invention;

1 is a diagram illustrating a network configuration of an electronic script management system according to the present invention.

The central script management server 130 stores scene-based script data and scene-based image data divided into scene units. Scene unit image data may be divided into scene units and stored in a separate file, or the entire image may be stored in one file. In either case, the image data can be classified in units of scenes. That is, it may be stored as one file, but may be configured to internally distinguish scene units. Alternatively, the video data may be stored in several files and configured in units of scenes. That is, the scenes 1-5 may be stored in the image data file 1, and the scenes 6-10 may be stored in the image data file 2. The scene is a unit used in a normal broadcast production, and may be classified according to various criteria, or may be classified based on a scene photographed at one place. The scene is usually determined by the writer when writing the script. The scene unit image data may include one or more shot unit image data. For example, in a scene where two characters talk in a restaurant, the entire scene may be a scene, and when both characters are caught on the screen in the scene, only one character is taken in close-up. Etc. become different shot unit image data. That is, the entire script data is composed of one or more scene unit script data, and one scene unit script data is composed of one or more shot unit script data. The same applies to the video data.

The central script management server 130 receives and stores scene unit script data and scene unit image data from a first user.

The first user terminal 110 may access the central script managing server 130 through a communication network such as the Internet. A user terminal module is installed in the terminal 110 of the first user, and the user terminal module receives a modification command for the script data stored in the central script management server 130 from the first user, and performs an operation necessary for the present invention. Do this. The first user may be a user who has an authority to input and edit the script data as a writer or a PD. To this end, the central script management server 130 may be implemented including a predetermined authentication means. The first user terminal 110 transmits the modification command to the central script management server 130. The central script management server 130 may provide the most recent version of the script data to a user who views and modifies the script data by storing the latest version of the script data.

The central script management server 130 receives a modification command for the script data from the terminal 110 of the first user and modifies the stored script data according to the modification command. Accordingly, the user can always modify the latest version of the script data, so that proper version management is achieved.

The terminal 110 of the second user requests the script data by accessing the central script managing server 130 through a communication network such as the Internet. In the present invention, the second user includes a PD, an actor, a step, and the like requiring script data. In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the second user may modify the script data like the first user according to the authority granted to the second user.

The central script management server 130 transmits the script data modified by the first user to the terminal 110 of the second user according to the request. The central script management server 130 continuously updates the modified script data so that when the request for the script data is received from a predetermined user, the updated script data may be provided. As described above, according to the present invention, since a person related to a broadcast work can always obtain the latest script by accessing a central script management server, a version generated by distributing the script printed out as before is distributed to the person concerned. There is no problem of management. Moreover, each party can easily access the latest script data anytime, anywhere, thereby increasing the efficiency of broadcast production.

A more detailed configuration of the central script management server 130 will be described later with reference to FIG. 2.

Figure 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the internal configuration of the electronic script management system according to the present invention.

The electronic script management system (central script management server) 200 includes a script input unit 201, an image input unit 202, a script analyzer 203, an image analyzer 204, a connection information analyzer 205, and connection information. The storage unit 206, the storyboard editing unit 207, the flow management unit 208, the image retrieval unit 209, and the image data generation unit 210 are included.

The script input unit 201 receives script data divided into a plurality of scene units. The script data records data necessary for screening and production, such as lines and actions used in dramas, documentaries, news, and the like of movies, television, and radio. The script data may include scene number, role information, actor information on the role, fingerprint information for each role, dialogue information for each role, prop information for each scene number, schedule information for each scene number, and the like. Typically, a writer inputs a script for generating image data through the script input unit 201, and others modify script data stored in the electronic script management system 200 through the script input unit 201.

The script analyzing unit 203 analyzes the script data received from the script input unit 201. Scenario analysis unit 203 is the scene number included in the script data, the cast information, the actor information for the cast, the fingerprint information for each cast, the dialogue information for each cast, prop information for each scene number and schedule information for each scene number Store at least one classified. By analyzing the script data in this way, it is possible to search the script data using the analyzed information more efficiently.

3 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of analyzing script data according to the present invention.

As shown, the script analyzing unit 203 classifies the script data according to a scene number 301. The script analysis unit 203 may include place information 302, cast information 303, fingerprint information 304 for each cast, dialogue information 305 for each cast, and prop information included in one scene number 301. 306), schedule information, and performer information for each cast. To this end, when the user inputs the script data through the script input unit 201, specific information may be input at a specific position, and thus the script data may be analyzed. For example, the scene number 301 is input by the user at the scene number position of FIG. 3, and the place information 302 of the scene is input next to the scene number 301. In addition, in the case of the fingerprint 304, it is possible to distinguish between the fingerprint 304 and the dialogue 305 by judging whether there are parentheses and processing the sentences in the parentheses by fingerprinting. The script analyzing unit 203 enables the script data analyzed according to the scene number to be used as meta information of the image data analyzed in the unit of scene by the image searching unit 209. The meta information is additional information about the image data and may be used when searching for image data.

Again, referring to FIG. 2, the image input unit 202 receives image data divided into a plurality of scene units. The image data is an image photographed according to the script data, and may be photographed according to a scene number 301 or a place 302 of the script data. The image data may be divided into one or more scene units, and the scene unit image data includes one or more shot unit image data. The image input unit 202 may receive image data divided by a scene from a user. A method of automatically dividing the captured image data into scene units or shot units will be described in detail later. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the user may divide the image data by scene unit and shot unit by hand while reproducing the captured image data, and input the image data to the image input unit 202, or input the entire image data to the image input unit 202. You can also type). Even when the entire image data is input, the entire image data actually includes image data of several scenes.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the image input unit 202 digitizes the recorded tape and stores it in the server. The image analyzer 204 analyzes the digitized image and divides it into segments (scenes) and shots (cuts). The image analyzer 204 extracts shots and the like by recognizing scenes using frame differences during image analysis. One digital image may be divided into several segments, and the segment (scene) may be further divided into several shots (cuts).

The image analyzer 204 analyzes image data received from the image input unit 202 for each frame. Since the image data is a moving picture, it is composed of a plurality of frames. The image analyzer 204 analyzes the image data for each frame to determine whether a change in pixel information between two neighboring frames is greater than or equal to a predetermined value. If the change in pixel information between two neighboring frames is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the image analyzer 204 may classify the scene information into different scene unit image data or different shot unit image data based on the two frames. There are several ways to measure the change of pixel information between two frames. For example, by comparing all the corresponding pixels between the two frames, distinguishing the unchanged pixels and the changed pixels, the total number of pixels If the number of changed pixels is 50% or more, the change between the two frames is large and can be divided into different scene unit image data or different shot unit image data based on the two frames. In other words, when the shot changes or the scene changes in the video data, the scene changes greatly, so that the change between neighboring frames becomes very large.

When shooting a drama or a movie, a script screen (cut signal screen) is inserted into the video to distinguish scenes. Since the script screen has a similar pattern, it may be useful to divide scenes and cuts accordingly. Therefore, there may be no small unit such as a cut, so it can be extracted through scene recognition.

For example, in the image data included in one image data file, the scene in the front is a scene where two actors talk in an office, and the scene in the rear is a scene in a swimming pool. The change is very large, and therefore, when such a change is large, the single image data file is divided into two image data files. However, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the image data may be divided using division boundary information (cut signal screen) without having to cut the image data file.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the image analyzer 204 analyzes the neighboring first frame and the second frame among the continuous image data, such that the space (place) is changed or the day and night are changed. Similarly, even when the change of information is large, it may be divided into different scene unit image data or different shot unit image data based on the first frame and the second frame. Therefore, since the image analyzer 204 can distinguish the case where the scene or the shot is changed with respect to a frame in which the pixel information is large when the pixel information is greater than or equal to a predetermined value among the continuous image data, the editor is required to manually edit the image. There is no need to separate scenes or shots while playing the image data manually.

4 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of generating a story board by analyzing image data according to the present invention.

To analyze the image data, the image analyzer 204 analyzes the continuous image data in units of frames from the front to determine whether pixel information between two neighboring frames is greater than or equal to a predetermined value. If the pixel information between two neighboring frames is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the front part and the rear part are divided into different segments based on the two frames. If the pixel information between two neighboring frames is smaller than a predetermined value, the two frames are processed into the same segment. The segment may be shot unit image data or scene unit image data. As shown in FIG. 4, when the image analyzer 204 analyzes the input image data and divides the input image data into multiple segments, the user may generate connection information through the connection information analyzer 205 in units of the separated segments. Can be.

In addition, the storyboard editing unit 207 may examine the image data segmented by the image analyzer 204 and combine the two segments into one segment. As shown, when the user sees the image data divided into segments and determines that the separated image data can be connected, the user selects the image data 401 and 402 to be connected and clicks the connection button. Thus, the storyboard editing unit 207 combines the image data selected by the user to generate one segment. The one segment becomes shot unit image data or scene unit image data.

5 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of generating a plurality of image data segments by editing one image data segment according to the present invention.

The storyboard editing unit 207 may divide one segment into a plurality of segments. When the user selects and double-clicks one of the image data divided into segments, the storyboard editing unit 207 displays the selected image data segment on the screen in units of frames. The user selects a frame of a position to be divided while looking at the image data segment displayed in the frame unit. Then, the storyboard editing unit 207 divides the original image data segment into two image data segments based on the selected boundary.

Referring to FIG. 2 again, the connection information analyzer 205 will be described. The connection information analyzer 205 generates connection information connecting the scene unit script data and the scene unit image data. The connection information analyzer 205 compares the script data analyzed by the script analyzer 202 with the image data analyzed by the image analyzer 204. The connection information analyzer 205 may classify the analyzed script data and the image data in a scene unit and connect the image data associated with the scene unit script data. The linking information is information linking the script data with the image data, and a data structure such as a linked list, a hash function, and a table may be used. The connection information may be used as meta information that may be used when searching the script data or the image data. That is, the connection information may include scene number of the script data associated with the image data, cast information, actor information on the cast, fingerprint information for each cast, dialogue information for each cast, prop information for each scene number, and the like. .

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment in which audio data of script data and audio data of video data are compared to connect associated script data and video data according to the present invention.

The connection information analyzer 205 synthesizes the scene unit script data 601 by voice synthesis 602 and converts the scene data into the voice data 603. The connection information analysis unit 205 performs voice synthesis on the metabolic information of the script data included in one scene unit. The connection information analyzer 205 converts the speech synthesized metabolic information into the voice data 603. In this case, the connection information analyzer 205 may classify the voice data in a scene unit. In addition, the connection information analyzer 205 extracts audio data 605 included in the scene unit image data 604. In this case, the connection information analyzer 205 may classify the audio data in a scene unit. Even if the image data is captured based on the script data, one scene may be repeatedly shot due to the NG situation. In addition, since the image with the same scene number is first photographed, the image data may be different from the scene order of the script data. Accordingly, the connection information analyzer 205 compares the voice data 603 and the audio data 605 for each scene using the Viterbi search 606. Since the contents of the audio data of the script data and the audio data of the image data are not reversed in one scene, the Viterbi search is used to identify whether the sentence structure matches in the same scene. The Viterbi search 606 temporally arranges voice data in units of words, syllables, and phonemes. The Viterbi search 606 can finally identify audio data similar to speech data using the relationship between phonemes and the temporal arrangement relationship between words. The connection information analyzer 205 generates an ordered script 607 connecting the identified script data and the image data on a scene basis. The aligned script 607 may include connection information about script data and image data associated with each other. Accordingly, in the present invention, the script data and the image data are analyzed to automatically connect the associated script data and the image data so that the user does not need to check the contents of the image data and connect the script data.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, using the speech recognition from the image data to generate the text data of the dialogue included in the image data, and compares the text data and the dialogue data of the script data and the corresponding image data Script data can also be identified.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of linking metabolism of script data and image data according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The connection information analyzer 205 compares the script data and the image data to classify the scene unit script data and the scene unit image data corresponding to the same scene number 701. The connection information analyzer 205 analyzes shot unit audio data with respect to scene unit image data included in the scene number 701. The connection information analyzer 205 synthesizes the first role of the script data into speech data, converts the speech into speech data, and compares the converted speech data with scene unit image data. The connection information analyzer 205 extracts one or more shot unit image data associated with the voice data and connects the meta data with the first role (702). In addition, the connection information analysis unit 205 compares the voice data on the metabolism of the second cast and the scene unit image data, extracts one or more shot unit image data associated with the voice data, and displays the metabolic information of the first cast. Connect (703). In this way, the connection information analyzer 205 may generate connection information about the metabolism of the linked script data and the shot unit image data. That is, the user may search for image data divided by shot units using the metabolic information of the script data.

According to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the connection information analyzer 205 receives information of scene unit image data corresponding to one scene unit script data from a user, and receives the scene unit script data and the scene unit image data. Creates connection information to connect. Referring to FIG. 7, after a user clicks scene unit image data corresponding to 701, the user drags and drags the scene unit image data to the scene number 701 of the script data. Then, the connection information analyzer 205 generates the connection information as the scene unit image data corresponds to the scene unit script data.

In addition, the connection information analyzer 205 may generate 1: N connection information so that a plurality of scene unit image data may be connected to one scene unit script data. N is an integer greater than or equal to 1. That is, the image data photographed according to the scene unit script data includes the first image data NG (No Good) in which the photographing state is poor or the recording state is poor or the second image data OK to be provided for broadcasting. Can be. Therefore, according to the present invention, all video data can be preserved by storing the NG video data that cannot be provided for broadcasting in association with the script data without deleting. That is, the electronic script management system 200 may extract only the NG image data and generate it as a broadcast program, if necessary, without separately storing NG image data of a popular drama. For example, in FIG. 8 below, a plurality of scene unit or shot unit image data is connected to one scene unit script data or one shot unit script data. In this way, after storing all of the plurality of scene unit image data photographed with respect to one scene unit script data, one of the plurality of scene unit image data may be selected later, and the other one may not be used. In this case, the scene unit video data not used in this way becomes NG video data, but since it is connected to the script data, it is easy to search using the script data. For example, since the script data includes information about the actor, the NG scene of the specific actor can be easily retrieved.

8 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of displaying a screen for editing image data in association with linked script data according to the present invention.

As illustrated, the connection information analyzer 205 includes two image data associated with metabolism of one script data (803). Several NGs may occur in order to capture a finished image that can be provided for normal broadcasting. Therefore, the image data associated with one script data may be one or more. When the user selects and double-clicks one image data among the image data associated with the script data, the electronic script management system 200 generates a viewer window 804 that enables the user to watch the selected image. Play video data. This is to allow the user to view the reproduced image data and analyze whether there are no wrong portions. Accordingly, the connection information analyzer 205 provides the scene image data 801 and the shot unit image data 802 included in the scene unit image data to the user as represented by the scene number of one script data. Make it easy to analyze image data.

In addition, when the user selects (805) one image data associated with each script data among one or more image data corresponding to each script data, the image data generator 210 sequentially connects the selected image data. To create an entire video file. The image data generator 210 selects one scene unit image data corresponding to the scene unit script data, and connects the selected scene unit image data to generate all image data. That is, the image data generator 210 may select one of scene data suitable for broadcasting for one or more image data and combine the selected scene unit image data to generate one broadcast program. Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the user can conveniently create a broadcast program by selecting the image data associated with the script data.

The connection information storage unit 206 stores the connection information generated by the connection information analyzer 205 together with the scene unit script data and the scene unit image data.

9 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment in which script data and image data are associated with each other according to the present invention.

The electronic script management system 200 displays the script data and the image data stored in the connection information storage unit 206 as shown so that the user can easily view the script data and the image data. The connection information storage unit 206 may store scene unit image data 902 and shot unit image data 901 associated with one script data 903, respectively. The illustrated script data 903 is news information, and the image data is classified into a scene unit 902 and a shot unit 901 with respect to an image photographed according to a news topic. The connection information storage unit 206 stores the scene unit image data using the news information as the connection information.

Referring back to FIG. 2, the flow manager 208 generates a scene list by arranging a plurality of scene unit script data based on at least one or more of scene number, cast information, actor information, place information, and prop information. In general, the scene number of the script data is related to the place information. Accordingly, the flow manager 208 may arrange the script data according to the place information and photograph the image data associated with the script data in correspondence to one place information. This has the advantage of saving time and money because it can shoot all the image data to be taken in the same place. For example, in the case of overseas location shooting, the cost is high. Therefore, when shooting overseas, it is preferable to collect all the pictures. Accordingly, the flow management unit 208 arranges the script data into "place information" for capturing abroad so that all image data to be photographed abroad can be photographed.

The scene list is a shooting schedule table. Similar scenes are collected according to the same shooting location, costume, props, etc. The content contained in the scene list is a list having only the scenes in the order of shooting and the actors, props, places, and lights to be photographed, except for the dialogue and the fingerprint which occupy the largest proportion in the script. This list is divided between the staff and the actors, and according to this list, the time to wait for the actor, the scene to be prepared, the props, etc. is a list that should be made quickly and accurately. Conventionally, a specific person (mainly an FD) directly examines a script, manually sorts and checks places, actors, props, etc., and manually creates a corresponding list. However, all of this information is scripted and in this system, the information is analyzed, classified and managed to automatically create a scene list.

The image retrieval unit 209 receives a search command for the scene unit image data using data included in the scene unit script data from a user. The search command includes data included in the scene unit script data. In addition, the search command may be the connection information. In response to the search request, the image search unit 209 may search for scene unit image data corresponding to the scene unit script data using the connection information. The image retrieval unit 209 provides the retrieved image data to the user. For example, if NG image data relating to a specific actor is needed, when the user inputs "Jang Dong Gun" as a search command, the image search unit 209 searches for image data corresponding to "Jang Dong Gun" and the user. Make it available to According to the user's command, the provided image data may be combined to generate NG image data of "Jang Dong Gun" to produce a broadcast program.

The electronic script management method according to the present invention can be implemented in the form of program instructions that can be executed by various computer means and recorded in a computer readable medium. The computer readable medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, etc. alone or in combination. The hardware device described above may be configured to operate as one or more software modules to perform the operations of the present invention, and vice versa.

In the present invention, the segment unit image data, the shot unit image data, the scene unit script data, and the cut unit script data are described separately, and in a specific embodiment, the description has been made based on the scene unit or shot unit data. It is within the scope of the doctrine of equality to change to other units of data. For example, even if described with the scene unit script data and the scene unit image data in the above description or in the claims below, it is equivalent to one of ordinary skill in the art to change the scene unit script data and the shot unit image data based on this. It is within a range. In addition, segmentation in units other than the scene unit or the shot unit is also within the same range.

According to the present invention, the script data is stored in a central script management server, and users can access the script management server through a communication network such as the Internet and modify or download the script according to their authority. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to accurately manage the version of the script and to modify according to the correct version when modifying the script.

In addition, according to the present invention, by analyzing the captured image data to automatically divide the image data into a plurality of scenes instead of manually, the editor performs the editing using less time when editing using the captured image data It is possible to easily grasp the current shooting degree for each scene, thereby facilitating the progress of shooting and editing.
