System and Method for assisting creation of image contents using metadata based on user}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a creative support system and method for creating video content, such as movies, and to a video content creation support system and method for storing metadata collected by a consumer for video content and providing the same to the creator.

Recently, with the development of mass media, the type and number of contents have exploded, and various demands of users for these contents have been amplified.

In addition, as the technology of the media storage device evolves, the content data does not merely store content, but as described above, includes various information about the content to accommodate various needs of users.

Users want to easily find their desired content among the overflowing contents, and therefore, technologies such as KR Patent Publication 2004-0108726 and KR Patent Publication 2009-0070945 have been developed to meet the needs of these users.

The inventions disclosed herein allow a user to easily search for a desired scene (scene) within a single video content, and a content creator stores data (metadata) related to the video in each scene of the video content. When the user inputs the search data, the input data and the stored data are compared to include the contents provided to the user by searching for the video data of the desired part (see FIG. 1).

However, in these prior arts, the metadata is generated and stored by a content creator when the video data is generated, and is stored including only objective fact information about each scene.

Thus, these prior art provides metadata to content producers, which the general user uses to retrieve video content.

However, if the user of the video data is the producer of the video content, i.e., the movie maker wants to search for the movie, different demands arise from the above.

Movie makers want more results than general audiences have seen and felt about each scene rather than objective information provided by the movie maker about the scene of the movie. This is to find out what the audience feels by looking at the same scene and use it for new content production work.

However, as described above, the conventional technologies have a problem that can not include the evaluation results of the general audience in the video content.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a content search system that can be used by content creators, a video including metadata determined according to user input values It is to provide a content creation support system and method for generating content and enhancing it to a content producer (creator).

In addition, the present invention, the content creation support system for classifying the data input group into a series of groups to set the reflectance differently, and update the metadata according to the cumulative value of the input values, so that the evaluation contents of the audience can be reliably reflected And a method.

According to a feature of the present invention for achieving the above object, the present invention comprises a user terminal for receiving the evaluation data for the image content from the user viewing the image content; A user terminal for receiving a search value from a user who wants to search and requesting a search for video contents; An image content including a service providing server configured to receive evaluation data from the user terminal, construct metadata of the image data, receive a search value from the user terminal, and compare the metadata with the metadata to search for the corresponding image content; Includes creative support system.

In this case, the metadata may include: basic information including content basic information storing objective information of the entire image content and sector basic information storing objective information of a specific scene; Contents evaluation information for storing user evaluation contents of the entire image content and sector evaluation information for storing user evaluation contents for a specific scene; The search value may include a basic search value for objective information of the video content; An evaluation search value for searching for subjective evaluation contents of the video content; The service providing server includes a database for storing a plurality of video contents including the metadata; A management module for grouping the users using the evaluation data and the login information of the user, and constructing the metadata by adding weights to the evaluation data according to the user group; A search engine that receives a search value from the user terminal, converts the search value through an ontology synonym search, and compares the search data with metadata stored in the database to search for video content and a corresponding scene of the video content; And an ontology search DB for ontology synonym search.

According to the present invention, a content producer can search video content by using metadata stored by a general audience and thus can be used to create new video content by using a reaction of a general audience. .

In addition, according to the present invention, the contents of the metadata may be updated according to the evaluation of the changed relations, and the contents of the audience's reactions that change with time may be appropriately reflected. That is, the audience responds differently to the same scene of the same movie. This may be because the emotional situation of the audience changes with the times, or the social event may change the view of the same scene. For example, for a scene of a movie about inter-Korean relations, the evaluation of the general audience may vary depending on the before and after occurrence of a social event such as the Cheonan incident. According to the present invention, since the metadata is updated according to the user's input, there is an advantage that it is possible to appropriately reflect the emotion change of the audience.

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings will be described in detail preferred embodiments of the present invention.

2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a specific embodiment of a video content creation support system according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an exemplary view showing the configuration of video content data according to the present invention.

As shown in these drawings, the video content creation support system according to the present invention includes a plurality of user terminals 10, a service providing server 20, and user terminals 30.

As used herein, the term 'user' refers to a general audience who watched the video content (including not only the general public such as a movie critic but also a person who inputs an evaluation of the video content in the audience). Refers to a video content producer using a creative support system according to the present invention (anyone conducting a search for video content through the creative support system according to the present invention is included in the user).

The user terminal 10 refers to a computer, a mobile communication terminal, etc. of the audience to input evaluation data for the corresponding video content, and the user terminal 30 searches for the video content using the video content creation support system. A terminal generally refers to a terminal of video producers.

Meanwhile, the service providing server 20 provides evaluation items to the user terminals 10 to receive evaluation data from the user, construct metadata, and provide the evaluation data to the user terminal 30. For this purpose, it comprises a database 22, the management module 24 and the search engine 26.

The database 22 stores various video contents to be searched, and the video contents include basic video data and metadata including video / audio / subtitles (see FIG. 3).

The metadata is a part in which additional data related to the image content is stored, and may be configured in various forms according to a compression method of a file.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 3, the metadata includes basic information and evaluation information. In this case, the basic information indicates objective information of the video content, and includes the title / genre / star actor of the video content.

Meanwhile, the basic information is divided into content basic information and sector basic information. The content basic information refers to basic information about the entire video content, and the sector basic information refers to objective information of the scene (for example, Appeared actors, etc.).

On the other hand, the evaluation information is constructed by the evaluation result data input by the user, and consists of the content including the subjective judgment of the audience.

In this case, the evaluation information is also divided into content evaluation information and sector evaluation information. The content evaluation information refers to a part in which evaluation contents of the entire video content are stored, such as a movie title causing interest and interest and a story about a social problem.

On the other hand, the sector evaluation information is a part in which subjective evaluation contents of the scene are stored, such as 'the scene in which the director's annual output is most prominent', 'the most memorable celebrities', and 'unique accent and tone'.

Meanwhile, the management module 24 provides an evaluation item to the user terminal 10, receives evaluation data from the user, and generates / updates metadata of image content stored in the database 22 using the evaluation data.

In this case, the management module 24 adjusts the reflectance rate of the metadata by grouping the users of the user terminal 10 and adding weights to each other.

The grouping is performed based on the user's login information and the evaluation data input by the user. The grouping is performed based on the data to classify the user into a plurality of groups according to the user's disposition.

The type of the group may be, for example, 'material-oriented story seeking type' / 'expected story seeking type' / 'comic episode seeking type' / 'comic character seeking type'.

The management module 24 may adjust the reflectance rate of the metadata by adding weights to the user's evaluation data according to the user's group. For example, the user belongs to the comic episode seeking type and the evaluation data In the case of the comic episode genre, a high weight may be applied, and in the case of video content having a low related genre, a low weight may be applied.

Meanwhile, the search engine 26 receives search data from the user terminal 30 and compares the search data with metadata stored in the database 22 to view the corresponding video content and the corresponding scene of the video content. It serves to provide to the terminal (30).

In this case, in order to facilitate matching between the search data input by the user and the evaluation information stored in the metadata, the search data may be changed to the same term as the evaluation information through an ontology comparison search.

To this end, the service providing server 20 may be configured to include an ontology search DB (28).

Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the video content creation support method according to the present invention will be described in more detail.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a method for generating metadata in a video content creation support method according to the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a video content search method in the video content creation support method according to the present invention. 6 is a flowchart illustrating another example of a video content search method among video content creation support methods according to the present invention.

First, referring to the metadata generating method according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the evaluation item is transmitted to the user terminal 10 to which the service providing server 20 is connected (S110). In this case, the evaluation item includes a content evaluation item for image content and a sector evaluation item for a specific scene.

Thereafter, the user terminal 10 receiving the evaluation item receives the evaluation data from the user and transmits the evaluation data to the service providing server 20 (S120 and S130).

The service providing server 20 receiving the evaluation data sets the user type by using the received evaluation data and the login information of the connected user terminal 10 (S130 and S140).

Thereafter, the service providing server 20 calculates a reflectance rate of the evaluation data according to the user type (S160). As described above, the reflection rate is calculated differently according to the degree of correspondence between the user type and the type of the image content to be evaluated.

Meanwhile, when the reflectance rate is calculated, the metadata is generated by storing / update or modifying metadata of the corresponding video content stored in the database 22 by applying the reflectance rate to the evaluation data (S170).

Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of a method of searching for the image content through the user terminal 30 will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 5, in order for a user according to the present invention to search for desired video content through the user terminal 30, the user terminal 30 receives a search reference item from the service providing server 20. (S210, S220).

In this case, the search criteria item is preferably selected as an item corresponding to the evaluation item, but the two items are not necessarily identical. This is because, if the search criterion item matches the evaluation item, the search is easily fixed, but even if they do not match, the ontology search, which will be described later, may match the search value with the metadata stored value.

In addition, similar to the evaluation item, the search criteria item includes a basic search value for the objective information of the image content and an evaluation search value for searching the subjective evaluation content of the user.

On the other hand, the user terminal 30 receiving the search criteria receives a search value from the user and transmits it to the service providing server 20 (S230, S240).

The service providing server 20 receiving the search value classifies a basic search value among the search values, compares the basic search value with content basic information and sector basic information of metadata, and performs a first search. (S250, S260).

Thereafter, the service providing server 20 calculates an evaluation search value among the search values, and converts the evaluation search value to correspond to the evaluation item through ontology synonym search (S270 and S280).

Thereafter, using the evaluation search value converted by the ontology synonym search, content evaluation information and sector evaluation information included in the metadata of the image content of the primary search result and re-search (second search) are performed (S290). ).

Then, the image data finally retrieved by the second search is sorted by priority and transmitted to the user terminal 30, and the user terminal 30 that receives the output provides the final result to the user (S300, S310). .

Hereinafter, another embodiment of a method of searching for the image content through the user terminal 30 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 6, another embodiment of the video content search performs steps 210, 220, 230, and 240 in the same manner as the specific embodiment of the video content search shown in FIG. 5.

Thereafter, the service providing server 20 receiving the search value classifies the search value into a basic search value and an evaluation search value (S250 ').

The evaluation search value is converted to correspond to the evaluation item by using ontology synonym search (S260 ', S270').

Subsequently, the corresponding image content is searched by comparing the basic search value and the evaluation search value converted by the ontology synonym search with the basic information and the evaluation information included in the metadata (S290 ').

In addition, the searched image data is sorted by priority and transmitted to the user terminal 30, and the received user terminal 30 outputs the final result to the user as in the specific embodiment of the image content search. S300, S310).

It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment, but is capable of many modifications and variations within the scope of the appended claims. It is self-evident.

The present invention relates to a video content creation support system and method for storing metadata collected by a consumer for video content and providing the same to a creator. According to the present invention, a meta content that a content producer evaluates and stores is stored. Using the data, the video content can be searched, and thus, there is an advantage that can be utilized to create new video content using the reaction of the general audience.
