The first area and the second area may be spaces provided in the content providing system 300. For example, the first region and the second region may be any one of an electronic book, a promotional space, and an internal user space, which will be described later.

Meanwhile, when the brand content stored in the content providing system 300 is updated, the controller 321 may inform the user of the update. For example, the controller 321 may display the latest brand content to be identified.

The analyzer 315 analyzes the behavior history of the user and generates user behavior pattern information. For example, the analysis unit 315 analyzes the behavioral pattern information fed back from the Internet URL, the IPTV operating system and the mobile communication CP system, or analyzes the number of times of use of the brand content stored in the content providing system 300 to analyze the user's behavior. Analyze behavior history In addition, the analyzer 315 may generate content response information by analyzing the response to the content. For example, the number of scraps, the number of comments, and the number of edits of the specific content provided from the content providing system 300 may be response information.

The input unit 316 receives a user input for brand search or content search (eg, specific brand content search). That is, the input unit 316 may receive a predetermined search word input from a user for searching for a specific brand or a specific content. The brand search means searching for a specific brand name.

The content provider 317 may provide the brand content to the user according to the creator. The creator of the content includes an advertiser of a brand, an operator who operates the content providing system, and a user who receives branded content. The advertiser can create branded content for his product advertisement, the operator can create branded content to promote the branded content of a particular advertiser to the user, and the user can edit or reprocess the provided branded content to Brand content may be generated.

The content provider 317 may provide brand content through a brand store. For example, the content providing unit 317 provides an image of a product, a video about the product, an article about the product, a video about the brand, an article about the brand, and the like through a brand store in a cyber space. can do. The brand store and product images may be 2D images or 3D images.

Meanwhile, in the present specification, a space for identifying a plurality of brand stores for each store will be referred to as a "hole" for convenience. The hall may be implemented in 3D or 2D form as a space where a plurality of stores are housed. The user may view the entire hall where a plurality of brand stores are arranged through the entrance of the hall, or may view individual brand stores.

On the other hand, the brand store may be determined in size, location, or implemented image price based on a special criterion including the advertising unit price of the advertiser. For example, a brand store having a high advertisement unit price may be arranged in the main hall, and a brand store having a low advertisement unit price may be disposed in the sub store. In addition, a brand store having a high advertising unit price may be implemented as a 3D image, and a brand store having a low advertisement unit price may be implemented as a 2D image.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a specific brand store may be output through a specific page provided in an electronic book associated with a specific brand. In the present specification, the electronic book refers to an electronic medium type book that can identify specific information or specific content. The user may check a specific brand store by entering an e-book. In addition, the electronic book may be further provided with a page for identifying brand contents classified according to the creator.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an electronic book for checking brand contents may be provided in the brand store. The user may check the brand contents classified according to the creator through the electronic book. The brand content provided through the electronic book may be scraped into an internal user space (described later) by user selection. In this case, an entire content may be scraped, or may be divided and scraped into object units.

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the content providing unit 317 provides an e-book provided with a page for identifying brand contents and a page for identifying specific brand contents according to a creator. can do. That is, a brand store may be displayed through the electronic book.

The user space provider 319 provides an internal user space for the user. As used herein, the term "user space" refers to a specific space associated with a user. For example, it may include a mini homepage, a blog, an e-mail, and the like of a specific user. For convenience, the internal user space refers to a user space provided by the content providing system 300, and the external user space refers to a user space provided by a system existing outside the content providing system 300. The user can store and store the branded contents collected in the internal user space.

The promotion space provider 318 provides a promotion space for promoting the content stored in the internal user space. The promotional space may be operated in a community form. For example, by forming a community called "a group that likes A brand", it is possible to share A brand contents and event information provided by A brand among community members. Brand A content may be promoted through the community space.

The control unit 321 is a database 310, the production unit 311, the receiving unit 312, the transmission unit 313, the update unit 314, the analysis unit 315, the input unit 316, the content provider 317 The overall function performed by the output unit 318, the user space providing unit 319, and the promotional space providing unit 320 may be organically controlled.

3 is a diagram illustrating an example of producing content in the production unit 311 illustrated in FIG. 2. As shown, each content consists of at least one object. Content 1 includes objects A, B, and C, content 2 includes objects E, F, and G, and content 3 includes objects M and N.

The production unit 311 may include an editor (not shown) capable of producing content. The editor may be implemented in software. The editor may extract a specific object from the content. For example, object C may be extracted from content 1, object F may be extracted from content 2, and object N may be extracted from content 3. The editor may combine the extracted contents C, F, and N to produce new content 211.

On the other hand, the properties of each object may be associated with a specific code. For example, object A may be associated with A code, and object B may be associated with B code. In the present specification, the property of an object refers to an essential characteristic for distinguishing a specific object from other objects. It is possible to minimize the load of the content providing system 300 by extracting and associating only attributes of the object rather than associating all characteristics of the object with a specific code.

In addition, the controller 321 may calculate tracking information of each object through a tracking check of each code. Tracking information of an object refers to information related to the trace of the object. The tracking information may include an extraction frequency of an object, information about a movement path of the extracted object, conversion information of the extracted object, and the like.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the content providing system 300 may check the tracking of each code by numbering each code corresponding to the number of times each code is extracted. The first extracted object A may be associated with the code "A_0001", and the second extracted object A may be associated with the code "A_0002". Therefore, the number of extractions of each object may be checked through a number (for example, 0001, 0002) numbered after a code associated with an object property (for example, "A" for object A). In addition, when the extracted object is scraped into the external user space, the controller 321 may store the "A_0001" code or the "A_0002" code in association with the location information of the scraped location in the database 310.

Meanwhile, the produced content 211 may be provided through various media. For example, when the produced content 211 corresponds to the first medium, the produced content 211 corresponds to the plurality of media using a method of generating content corresponding to the second medium using the produced content 211. A plurality of contents may be generated. A so-called simple standard conversion may be performed by simply converting the specification of the first content into the second content, and the so-called edit transformation of re-encoding and / or relocating the multimedia element of the first content to the actual content of the second content may be performed. It can also be done.

As a specific example, if the first medium is the Internet web and the second medium is mobile communication, the first content of the html and xml standards is converted into second content conforming to the WAP standard by simple standard conversion. In addition, as an example of editing conversion, the second content which is relatively complicated in operation using a keyboard and a mouse and the first content composed of high quality images and videos can be operated by a limited number of number keys and is composed of relatively low quality images and videos Can be converted to

Also, if the first medium is the Internet web and the second medium is an IPTV, each unit page constituting the web page is captured as a still image, or converted into a file composed only of images and videos except for add-in programs such as ActiveX and Flash. do. If the second medium is DMB, the image and video may be converted in a lower way to be applied to a relatively small bandwidth.

A plurality of contents generated by the above method may be provided through each medium.

In addition, the produced content 211 may be converted into content for a multi-media, and the content for the multi-media may be provided to a plurality of media.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a method of providing content through the content providing system shown in FIG. 2.

The user may attempt to access the content providing system 300 using a specific medium (user terminal). That is, when the receiver 312 receives the user's access signal, the controller 321 may determine whether the connection is allowed. For example, the controller 321 may analyze the connection signal to analyze the type of the connected medium, the location information of the connection medium, or the user information of the connection medium. The controller 321 may determine whether to permit access of a specific medium based on the analyzed information. If the user's connection is normal, the control unit 321 may allow the user access through a specific medium (S401).

If the connection is allowed, the output unit 318 may output a screen including a plurality of menu items including a brand content check item and a hall entry item (S402). The screen including the plurality of menu items may be set as an initial screen.

5 illustrates an example of a screen including the plurality of menu items.

In the illustrated screen, a plurality of menu items including a brand content confirmation item 501, an entry into the internal user space 503, a hall entry item 502, and a promotion space entry item 504 may be displayed. Through the plurality of menu items, a user can check contents by various routes. The brand content confirmation item 501 may be an item for confirming brand content sorted according to various criteria. For example, it may be an item for checking the latest brand content. The item for entering a hole means a link menu connected to the hall.

Therefore, the user can check the content by selecting a desired menu from the plurality of menus. For example, when the user selects the brand content check item 501, the output unit 318 may display the brand product image sorted by a specific criterion (for example, new product order) and an input window for searching for a specific brand. The prepared screen may be output (S403 and S404).

6 illustrates an example of a screen displayed when the user selects the brand content confirmation item 501.

As illustrated, when the user selects the brand content check item 501, the output unit 318 may display an input window 601 for brand search and a screen including the specific product 602. When the user selects a specific product 602, the output unit 318 may output an enlarged image of the specific product (not shown). In addition, the user may input a specific keyword for brand search in the search term input window 601. When a search keyword is input, the output unit 318 may display a brand search result window 603 including a brand matching the search keyword. For example, a brand including an input keyword may be displayed in the brand search result window 603 or a brand of an advertiser who purchased a specific keyword may be displayed.

That is, when the input unit 316 receives a search word input from the user (S405), the controller 321 may output a search result screen matching the input search word through the output unit 318 (S406).

The user may select any one of the brands displayed in the brand search result window 603 (S407). When a specific brand is selected by the user, the output unit 318 may output an electronic book associated with the selected specific brand (S408).

As illustrated, the e-book may include a page 701 for identifying a specific brand store and pages 702, 703, and 704 for classifying specific brand contents according to a generating entity (for example, an operator, an advertiser, or a user). ) Is provided.

The controller 321 may display the default page of the electronic book as the initial screen of the electronic book. The default setting may be performed by the content providing system 300 operator or may be performed by a user. In addition, the controller 321 may analyze the user's behavior pattern and automatically set it. For example, the page most accessed by the user for a predetermined period of time may be set as the initial screen.

When the user selects the store confirmation page 701, the output unit 318 may output a screen entered into a specific brand store (S409 and S413).

8 illustrates an example of a screen entered into a specific brand store.

As shown, the particular brand store is on display the goods provided in the store. The output unit 318 may move the screen to a specific area according to a user's terminal manipulation. By moving the screen, the user can check the various products displayed. When a specific product is selected from the displayed products, the output unit 318 may output detailed information of the selected product.

9 shows an example of a screen showing detailed information of a specific product.

As shown, the detailed information window 901 of a specific product includes an enlarged image of the selected product, a related article about the product, link information (or a link item) connected to a space where the specific product can be purchased, and the The related content for the product may be included. There may be a variety of related contents for the product. For example, the related content may include content of another brand of the same kind as the selected product, same brand content for a product similar to the selected product, and the like.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when a specific product among the products displayed in the store is selected by the user, the image of the specific product may be scraped into the internal user space (S414 and S411). For example, an entire image may be scraped, or the image may be divided into objects and scraped. In this case, it may be necessary to input the user's login information in order to access the internal user space. The login information may include an ID and a password for accessing an internal user space.

In operation S409 and S410, the user may select one of the specific generating subjects 702 to 704 on the screen illustrated in FIG. 7 to identify the brand content generated by the specific generating subject.

10 illustrates an example of providing brand contents generated by a specific creator through an electronic book.

As shown in the drawing, the electronic book may provide specific brand content by classifying the creator (operator, advertiser, user). In addition, the brand content may be classified and provided by content type (not shown). For example, branded content may be classified and provided to a user by pictorial, article, and video. In addition, brand content provided through the electronic book may be rearranged according to a specific criterion. For example, the brand content may be arranged based on the created order, or the brand content may be arranged in the order of popularity.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when specific content is selected by the user from among the brand contents output according to the creator, the specific content may be scraped into the internal user space (S411). For example, one entire content may be scraped, or the content may be divided and scraped in object units. In this case, it may be necessary to input the user's login information in order to access the internal user space. The login information may include an ID and a password for accessing an internal user space.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the content scraped and stored in the internal user space may be promoted in the promotion space (S412). The promotional space will be described later.

In addition, the specific brand image selected by the user among the specific product image selected by the user or the brand content provided through the electronic book among the products displayed in the store may be transmitted to the external user space. That is, the transmitter 313 may transmit the specific product image or the specific brand content selected by the user to the external user space. In this case, the entirety of one content (specific product image or specific brand content) may be scraped, or the content may be divided and scraped in units of objects.

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the transmission unit 313 may transmit only link information to an external user space so as to identify specific content (specific product image or specific brand content) selected by the user. That is, the present invention can prevent retransmission and duplication of content by transmitting only link information to an external user space, thereby protecting copyright of the content.

11 illustrates an example of transmitting link information so that specific content (specific product image or specific brand content) provided through an electronic book can be checked in an external user space. Link information box refers to information for connecting to a specific space.

As illustrated, the user may check the selected brand content 1101 through the electronic book. The transmitter 313 may transmit the link information to the external user workspace so that the brand content 1101 may be identified instead of transmitting the brand content 1101 itself. The link information may include information for identifying all of the selected brand content 1101 or information for identifying some objects (eg, images, text, etc.) of the brand content 1101. The user may select an external user space to which the link information is to be transmitted through the external user space input window 1103. For example, if the user selects "blog A" and "blog B" as the external user space, the link information may be sent to "blog A" and "blog B". That is, when the user selects the link information transmission window 1105, the link information may be transmitted to the selected external user space.

In this case, the content providing system 300 may transmit the link information in consideration of a format supported by the external user space. For example, if blog A supports format A (for example, URL format), blog B supports format B (Java scripted format), blog A sends link information in format A, and blog B In the B format, link information can be transmitted.

On the other hand, the external user space can automatically play the brand content associated with the link information without a user input when a specific page on which the link information is transmitted is output.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 321 may extract the tracking information of the transmitted link information and store it in the database 310.

A specific screen (for example, an image or a video related to a specific brand product) may be displayed through the specific medium (S2401). In the displayed specific screen, the user may select a specific object (S2402). The specific object selection of the user may be made through dragging with a mouse, touch input, or the like. The specific object may include shoes worn by a person displayed on a specific screen, a bag worn by the person, and the like.

When the specific object is selected, the specific medium may be connected to the content providing system 300. That is, when the receiver 312 receives an input signal for selecting a specific object of the user, the controller 321 may determine whether to connect to the content providing system 300 of the specific medium. When the user's object selection is normally performed, the controller 321 may allow user access through a specific medium (S2403). Since the connection of the content providing system 300 through the specific medium has already been described, it will be omitted here.

The controller 321 may extract a search word associated with the selected object at the same time as the access permission (S2404). The specific object and the search word may be stored in the database 310 in association with a dictionary. For example, the "clock related image" may be stored in association with the search word "clock". The controller 321 may output a search result screen matching the search word associated with the specific object through the output unit 318 (S2405). The brand matching the search word may be displayed on the search result screen. The search result may be displayed in the form of a search result window 603 shown in FIG. 6.

Therefore, access to the content providing system 300 and input of a search word may be simultaneously performed by selecting a specific object.

On the other hand, the user can select any one of the brands matching the search word included in the search result screen (S2406). When a specific brand is selected by the user in the search result screen, the output unit 318 may output an electronic book related to the selected brand. The electronic book may be provided with a page for identifying the selected brand store and a page for dividing the selected brand contents according to the creator.
