The present invention relates to a flash content generation system and method thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to a flash content generating system and method, characterized in that various multimedia files are edited online or generated as flash content therefrom, which are converted to a predetermined format and provided to a mobile terminal or a print device.

Generally, swf format flash image is a flash movie file that can be viewed through a web browser or a computer with a dedicated program called Flash Player. These flash images are compiled from the fla file and created by the Flash authoring tool. However, in order to generate such a flash image by editing a multimedia file, knowledge of various authoring tools and editing techniques is required. In the related art, such work is usually performed on-line artificially. In this case, the work is not easy unless a person skilled in the art has caused a lot of inconvenience.

Thus, conventionally, editing, display, and the like have been performed through online communication with a server. In this case, the editing was performed by an editor, a web application, and the image and edited data generated therefrom were stored in a database associated with the server and later displayed through a viewer. However, the conventional online editing is limited to static multimedia files such as photographs and texts, and in particular, text is supported by the embedding method in a web editor that functions as an editing function. Therefore, it was inappropriate to be provided online. Meanwhile, a conventional online viewer loads and displays data stored in a database or XML data existing on the web. However, these viewers generate traffic because they ask the server for necessary elements every time the screen is changed, which causes a problem of delayed processing speed when there are multiple connections at the same time. In addition, the viewer could not be executed in an environment where online access is not possible.

On the other hand, in order to print a flash image generated through editing, it is necessary to first convert it into a file suitable for an output format to obtain output data. However, in the related art, even though the editing is performed online, this printing process has been performed manually at the request of the user. This will be described in detail as follows. Typically, the output data generated from a flash image is a single file with a resolution of 200 dpi or higher. However, the flash image includes a plurality of asset files and web editing data such as xml information having layout information on the screen. Therefore, in order to generate output data from a flash image, a process of integrating such web editing data into one high quality image data is required. However, in the related art, an administrator manually converts a flash image into data for output directly according to a user's output request. This resulted in a waste of manpower and time, and the reduction of the editor's function to solve this problem exposed the problem that the quality of output data was degraded.

On the other hand, in order to provide a flash image generated by the mobile terminal to the mobile device as proposed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2004-98171 "Flash Content Portable Terminal", a separate device for converting the image to suit the mobile format or A program should be provided in the terminal.
