In addition, when playing the action webtoon, the frames are preferably enlarged and reproduced one by one on the screen.

In addition, it is preferable that the frame switching effect is provided in a section in which the frames are reproduced one by one on the screen and the frames are switched.

Then, in the section in which the frame is switched, the frame in which playback ends are zoomed out and disappears, and the next frame to be played back is zoomed in and played back.

In addition, when the flash file disposed in the frame is selected by the user, only the contents of the selected flash file are enlarged and reproduced.

And, if one of the frames constituting the action webtoon template is selected, it is preferable that only the sound effect applied to the selected frame is output.

In addition, the present action webtoon production method may include providing a pre-written action webtoon; And changing a specific part of the action webtoon to another configuration.

The providing of the prepared action webtoon may be performed by removing a specific part from the prepared action webtoon.

On the other hand, the computer-readable recording medium according to the present invention, the step of displaying the selected action webtoon template; Placing a flash file in a frame constituting the displayed action webtoon template; And giving an effect sound to the frame, wherein, when playing the action webtoon, the frames of the action webtoon template are played one by one on the screen in order. The production tool is recorded.

As described above, according to the present invention, not only anyone can easily produce an action webtoon, but also change a part of the existing action webtoon to a desired image and parody the action webtoon, thereby increasing user's entertainment. It becomes possible.

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings will be described the present invention in more detail.

Unlike webtoons consisting of still images only, action webtoons are webtoons in which flash files containing moving elements are placed in frames and sound effects are output.

Hereinafter, a process of manufacturing an action webtoon using the action webtoon production tool will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12. 1 to 12 are views provided to explain a process of manufacturing an action webtoon by executing the action webtoon production tool according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the action webtoon production tool is executed, an opening main screen as shown in FIG. 1 is provided.

As shown in FIG. 1, the main screen of the action webtoon production tool includes: 1) a top menu bar that is a collection of icons for inputting a detailed work command, 2) a list of pages in which items are being worked on, and 3) a work in progress. A working canvas that acts as the main window for the action webtoon to appear. 4) A speech bubble and sound effect, a list of speech bubbles and sound effects. 5) A list of action webtoon templates consisting of pre-made screen split frames. A list of user-owned files appears, listing image and video files stored within.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the user selects one of the action webtoon templates listed in the action webtoon template list and drags and drops it to the work canvas, the dragged and dropped action webtoon template is displayed on the work canvas. It is displayed enlarged.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4, when one of the files listed in the user-owned file list is selected and dragged and dropped to a desired frame, the file display size is adjusted to the frame as shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6. As shown in Figure 3, the file appears resized in a frame.

The file dragged and dropped onto the frame may be a flash file or a video file as well as a still image file. The display size of the file does not necessarily have to match the size of the frame, but may be smaller than the size of the frame. In addition, it is possible to implement such that the display size of the file is automatically adjusted to the size of the dragged and dropped frame.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 7, when the user selects one of the speech bubbles listed in the speech bubble and the sound effect, drags and drops it to a desired position, and inputs a dialogue to be recorded in the speech bubble as shown in FIG. 8, FIG. As shown in Fig. 9, a speech bubble showing a dialogue is displayed.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, when a user selects one of the sound effects listed in the speech bubble and the sound effect, drags and drops it to a desired position, and inputs the sound effect text as shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 11. As shown, the input sound effect text is displayed.

The sound is given to the frame of the action webtoon by the above process. The sound effect is output as an actual voice when the action webtoon is played. The sound effect text displayed in the action webtoon may be a character representing the actual sound effect of the voice.

1 to 11, the first frame of the action webtoon is completed, and the remaining frames may be completed by the above process. An action webtoon in which work on all frames is completed is illustrated in FIG. 12.

The action webtoon completed through the above process can be uploaded and played on the web, and can also be reproduced in the test webtoon production tool. The action webtoon playback can be classified as 'full play' and 'part play' for convenience, and will be described in detail below.

"Replay all" means that all the configurations shown in the produced action webtoon are played. When the entire action webtoon is played, the frames constituting the action webtoon are enlarged and reproduced one by one on the screen in order.

If the photo file is arranged in the frame, the photo file is displayed, and the speech bubble arranged in the frame is displayed. In addition, if a flash file is arranged in a frame, the flash file is played. If an effect sound is assigned to the frame, the sound is output together.

Since frames are reproduced one by one on the screen, a frame switching section exists. The frame switching section is a section in which the displayed frame disappears from the screen and the next frame appears on the screen. In the frame transition period, the disappearing frame disappears while zoomed out, and the next frame can be implemented to appear as zoomed-in.

On the other hand, it is possible to implement such that the frame switching is carried out in a manner other than the frame is switched by the zoom-in / zoom-out method. If the frame transition is performed according to a different method, the visual effect of the frame transition is different, thereby providing a different feeling to the user.

"Partial play" means that only a part of the composition shown in the produced action webtoon is played.

It has been described above that Flash files are arranged in the frames of the action webtoon. When one of the arranged flash files is selected by the user, only the contents of the selected flash file are enlarged and reproduced. Such reproduction corresponds to a kind of partial reproduction.

As another example of partial playback, when one of the frames arranged in the action webtoon is selected, only an effect sound applied to the selected frame is output.

On the other hand, when the action webtoon is played, it is also possible to provide a game-type event by providing an item that can move on the screen.

This item can be moved on the screen by direct or indirect manipulation of the user, and can provide interesting visual effects according to the movement result.

FIG. 13 illustrates a case in which the "sun" moves beyond the "hill" by the user's touch and drag on the touch screen of the mobile device, and the background of the action webtoon is changed to the evening background by the user's direct manipulation. It is possible.

In addition, FIG. 14 illustrates a case where water is ejected from the "well" touched by the user on the touch screen of the mobile device and characters are moved into place by the user's touch and drag. This can be implemented to move characters on the action webtoon.

Meanwhile, in FIG. 15, the tilt of the mobile device is detected by the gravity sensor as the mobile device is inclined, thereby moving the "clock" item according to the gravity. In addition, in FIG. 16, the tilt of the mobile device is detected by the gravity sensor as the mobile device is tilted, and thus the “can” item is rolled according to gravity.

15 and 16 correspond to examples of moving items on an action webtoon by indirect manipulation through a mobile device rather than by direct manipulation of an item by a user. In this case, it is also possible to implement the effect sound to be reproduced along with the movement and change of the item.

Meanwhile, the action webtoon completed using the action webtoon production tool can be rendered as a video file such as FLV or WMV, uploaded to the web by UCC, and watched on the web, as well as viewed on a downloaded mobile device.

In addition, it is also possible to convert the completed action webtoon using the action webtoon production tool to a motion e-book, and to watch it through an e-book player.

Hereinafter, a process of producing an action webtoon in another manner using the action webtoon production tool will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 17 to 20. 17 to 20 are diagrams provided to explain a process of parodying an action webtoon by executing the action webtoon production tool according to another embodiment of the present invention.

To create an action webtoon, the action webtoon creation tool first removes and displays a face part from a previously created action webtoon. The face part removal may be performed by a process of recognizing a face part through face recognition and replacing the recognized face part with a white image in the previously prepared action webtoon.

FIG. 17 illustrates a state in which an action webtoon in which a face part is removed by this process is displayed on a work canvas.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 18, when the user drags and drops a desired file from the user-retained file list to the part where the face is removed, the face part appearing in the dragged and dropped file appears at the dragged and dropped position.

In this process, the action webtoon production tool recognizes the face part in the file dragged and dropped by the user, and displays the face by extracting the recognized face part and displaying it at the dragged and dropped point.

Subsequently, as illustrated in FIG. 19, speech bubbles and sound effects are applied, and as illustrated in FIG. 20, the action webtoon parody is completed.

Hereinafter, a PC, which is a kind of electronic device capable of executing the action webtoon production tool, will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 21.

As shown in FIG. 21, the PC includes a monitor 110, a communication unit 120, a CPU 130, an HDD 140, and an input unit 150.

The monitor 110 displays a screen provided by the action webtoon production tool. The monitor 110 is a main screen of the action webtoon production tool and the action webtoon being produced through this, as well as a place where the produced action webtoon is played.

The communication unit 120 is connected to communicate with other external devices through a cable or a network. The produced action webtoon can be delivered to another mobile device or an e-book player through the communication unit 120, as well as to other devices through a network.

The HDD 140 installs an action webtoon production tool, stores the produced action webtoon, and provides a storage space for storing various files necessary for producing the action webtoon.

The input unit 150 is a means for receiving a user command and an operation and transmitting the same to the CPU 130. The drag & drop and dialogue and text mentioned above can be input through the input unit 150.

The CPU 130 executes the action webtoon production tool installed on the HDD 140 to enable the user to produce the action webtoon, as well as to play the produced action webtoon. See FIG. 22 and FIG. 23 for this process. It will be described in detail.

22 is a flowchart provided to explain a process of creating an action webtoon by executing the action webtoon production tool.

As shown in FIG. 22, the CPU 130 first executes the action webtoon production tool installed in the HDD 140 to display the main screen on the monitor 110 (S210). The main screen displayed in step S210 is illustrated in FIG. 1.

The action webtoon can be produced from the main screen displayed in step S210. The production method is classified into general production and parody production.

In the case of normal production (S220-Y), the action webtoon production tool executed by the CPU 130 may select the action webtoon template selected by the user through the input unit 150 among the action webtoon templates listed in the action webtoon template list on the main screen. It is displayed on the canvas of the main screen (S230).

Thereafter, the action webtoon production tool arranges the flash file and the image selected by the user through the input unit 150 in the selected frame (S240).

In addition, the action webtoon production tool arranges the speech bubble selected by the user through the input unit 150 in the selected frame (S250).

In addition, the action webtoon production tool gives an effect sound selected by the user through the input unit 150 to the selected frame (S260).

On the other hand, in the case of parody production (S270-Y), the action webtoon production tool removes a specific part from the pre-created action webtoon to display on the canvas of the main screen (S280). Here, the specific part may be a face part, but is not necessarily limited to the face, but may be another part.

The action webtoon production tool extracts a specific portion from a file selected by the user through the input unit 150 and displays the selected portion at the selected point (S290). Thereafter, steps S250 and S260 are performed.

The action webtoon produced through the process illustrated in FIG. 22 may be uploaded to another device or network through the communication unit 120 and played on another device or network, and may also be reproduced by test by the action webtoon production tool. There is a bar. Hereinafter, a process of playing the action webtoon on the PC illustrated in FIG. 21 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 23.

When the entire action webtoon playback command is input from the user through the input unit 150 (S305-Y), the CPU 130 plays back while zooming in on the screen the first frame constituting the action webtoon (S310).

At the same time, the CPU 130 outputs the sound effect applied to the frame reproduced in step S310 (S315).

When the frame reproduction and the sound effect output are completed (S320-Y), the CPU 130 removes from the screen while zooming out the frame reproduced in step S310 (S325). After that, until the action webtoon playback is completed (S330), the next frame is performed again from step S310.

Meanwhile, when the action webtoon partial playback command is input from the user through the input unit 150 (S335-Y), the CPU 130 performs partial playback.

Specifically, when a user selects a flash file and commands partial playback (S340-Y), the CPU 130 enlarges and plays back only the contents of the selected flash file (S345).

On the other hand, when the user selects a specific frame to instruct the effect sound reproduction (S350-Y), the CPU 130 outputs only the sound effect applied to the selected frame (S355).

Up to now, the process of producing an action webtoon using the action webtoon production tool and playing the produced webtoon has been described in detail with reference to a preferred embodiment.

In the above embodiment, the action webtoon playback has been described as being classified into a full play and a partial play. However, the action webtoon play may be played in a combined manner. That is, it is also possible to implement such that partial reproduction is additionally performed during the entire reproduction of the action webtoon.

In addition, the technical idea of the present invention can be implemented by a method consisting of processes performed by the action webtoon production tool, a device in which the action webtoon production tool is installed, and a case of producing the action webtoon production tool as a program.

In addition, while the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, but the technical field to which the invention belongs without departing from the spirit of the invention claimed in the claims. Of course, various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art, and these modifications should not be individually understood from the technical spirit or the prospect of the present invention.
