Description

How to show videos and comments at the same time {PLAYBACK METHOD OF MOVIE CLIP AND REPLIES ATTACHED THEREWITH}

The present invention relates to a method for receiving and displaying a moving picture and comments written at a predetermined position of the moving picture from a server in a smartphone or tablet environment.

With the development of Internet-based technology, the Internet environment is undergoing one big change. In the past, content providers have been unidirectionally provided by content providers, but in recent years, end users have been directly involved in the entire process from content production to consumption by producing content, posting posts, and exchanging opinions. It is a big flow.

Following this trend, sometimes described as Web 2.0, services provided through the Internet have also gradually evolved into a form in which users can participate in the entire process of producing and consuming content.

Examples include Facebook or Twitter, which connects users and enables new forms of communication, and YouTube, which allows users to upload videos and distribute them by freely linking them anywhere on the web.

In particular, Twitter or some similar services have provided a new way of communicating based on communication between users through short texts, creating a new form of social networks by allowing individual users to communicate individually.

On the other hand, thanks to the spread of smart phones, users are connected to the world over time and space constraints, and the impact of these social network services is expanding day by day.

Content that a user directly participates as a producer can be largely divided into a video, image or text form, but the content and the means of communication between users are mainly texts, and the social network services to date are also mainly text forms. It is made to share the content of the network formed by the user. Video and images have a secondary position in communication through social networks.

Nevertheless, given the direct information transfer power of video and its commerciality as a content, it is sufficient to reconsider the position of video in the communication process through social networks.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems of the prior art, and aims to provide a new social network scheme that enables communication between users through the entire process from generation of video to distribution.

More specifically, it is possible to write a comment at a predetermined position of a video provided by a streaming method, but to provide a method of collecting the comments thus prepared and providing them in a list form.

Furthermore, by providing comments arranged in the form of a list to users as a content distribution unit, by selecting a comment included in the list, the corresponding video can be played from the point in time when the comment is made. It aims to provide a methodology that enables communication in a harmonized form.

In order to achieve the above object, one side of the simultaneous display method of a video and a comment according to the present invention includes identification information of a video from a server, contents of a comment written at a position on a timeline of the video, identification information of the commenter, and Step 110, a client displaying the received comment information on a screen according to receiving a plurality of comment information including one or more of thumbnail images of the video at the time when the comment is written;

Step 120, when a user selects a thumbnail image of a video included in the comment information displayed on the screen, the client requests a streaming from a location on a timeline of the video corresponding to the thumbnail of the selected video to a server; And

Receiving a video from the server by a streaming method, and as the client receives a plurality of comments written on the position on the timeline of the video, the client plays the video on one side of the screen, the video is played at the position on the timeline where the comment was written And a step 130 of displaying the written comments on the timeline among the received comments on one side of the screen.

Meanwhile, in order to achieve the above object, another aspect of the simultaneous display method of a video and a comment according to the present invention is that if a client requests streaming to a server as a thumbnail of any one video is selected by a user, In step 210, providing the video to the client by a streaming method from a position on a timeline of the video corresponding to a thumbnail of the selected video; And

The server provides a plurality of previously written comments stored in the position on the timeline of the video provided by the streaming method to the client in the order of the position on the timeline, and the plurality of comments in any one timeline position of the video. And if the comments are written and stored, ranking the comments by a predetermined ranking algorithm and providing the comments to the client according to the ranking, and providing the comments of the next position on the timeline.

According to the present invention, a social network scheme is provided that enables a distribution form of new content in which video and text are fused.

In particular, while the comments arranged in the form of a list by a predetermined ranking algorithm as a distribution unit, it is possible to link the content distribution service and the social network by providing mainly comments or videos between users connected through the social network.

On the other hand, by allowing a user to write a comment at a specific location of the video and through this, communication between users can be made so that the video and the comment can be a core means of communication.

In addition, by selecting a comment distributed in the form of a list to directly check the thumbnail of the video related to the comment, by further checking the thumbnail to watch the video from that point.

On the other hand, according to the present invention by forming a network of users having opinions on a video on a particular topic can be grouped users of similar interests more intuitive and clearly compared to the conventional social network services. have.

Simultaneously displaying a video and a comment according to the present invention may be implemented in a network structure as shown in FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, a number of clients 1 are connected to a server 2 via a network. In this case, the network may preferably be a wireless Internet network or a mobile communication network including a 3G network, but the wired network is not excluded.

On the other hand, the client 1 may preferably be in the form of a smartphone or tablet. However, if it is possible to connect to the server 2 via a network and play a video by streaming method, and to receive a user's input and write a comment, the netbook, the laptop computer, etc. are not limited to the platform.

The server 2 stores a plurality of moving images and provides one or more of them by a streaming method to the clients 1 connected via a network.

Meanwhile, the simultaneous display method of a video and a comment according to the present invention may be implemented in the form of a dedicated app in a plurality of client 1 stages or may be implemented in a server 2 stage.

Meanwhile, the simultaneous display method of a video and a comment according to the present invention is based on the following series of services provided to the clients 1 by the server 2.

Referring to FIG. 2, the services provided by the server 2 are shown in chronological order. First, as the user executes a dedicated app of the client 1, the client 1 connects to the server 2, and the user connects to the server ( Select any one of the multiple videos provided by 2).

Accordingly, the client 1 provided with the corresponding video from the server 2 by the streaming method plays the received video as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, the client 1 provides an interface for commenting during the playback of the video as shown in (a) of Figure 2, the user can write a comment by inputting the content or content related to the topic. .

The server 2 collects the comments thus written. At this time, the position on the timeline of the video where the comment is written, the content of the comment, the ID of the commenter, etc. may be collected together. In addition, screenshots corresponding to locations on the timeline of the commented video can be saved together as thumbnails.

Meanwhile, the exposure order is determined by a predetermined algorithm for a plurality of comments written on a plurality of videos.

The server 2 provides a plurality of comments to the client 1 according to the determined exposure order, and the client 1 receives the initial screen or the search result screen of the dedicated app as shown in FIG. Displays comments in list form.

Hereinafter, with reference to Figures 3 to 5 attached to one side of the simultaneous display method of the video and comments according to the present invention will be described in detail.

One aspect of the present invention limits the processing after the client 1 receives comments written in a certain position of the video from the server 2 through such a process.

As shown in FIG. 5, the client 1 firstly identifies, from the server 2, identification information of a video, content of a comment written at a position on a timeline of the video, identification information of the commenter, and a time point at which the comment is created. In response to receiving a plurality of comment information including one or more of the thumbnail image of the video of the display on the screen (S110).

Looking at the process in more detail, first, the client 1 may display the received comments in the form of a list, as shown in FIG. In this case, at least some or all of the contents of the comment may be displayed in the comments displayed in the form of a list.

Meanwhile, when the user selects any one of the comments displayed in the form of a list as described above, the client 1 expands and displays the selected list item, that is, the selected comment as shown in FIG.

In particular, at this time, a screenshot of the video at the time of commenting is displayed in the form of a thumbnail image. Identification information such as a title, a file name, a url, other information for identifying the corresponding video, and an ID of a commenter may be further displayed (S112).

Accordingly, the user of the client 1 can know through the comments whether the comment selected by the user is written in which position of the video, and what other users think about the corresponding content of the video.

For example, if someone left a comment on the interpretation of the ending part of a recently released movie, the user can view the thumbnail of the ending part of the video as shown in (b) of FIG. You can reflect on it.

Further, if the scene is not well remembered, the user may select a thumbnail on the touch screen of the client 1.

As the thumbnail is selected, the client 1 requests the server 2 to provide the video in a streaming manner from the position where the comment is made (S120).

Since the server 2 holds information on where the comment is written on the timeline of the video, it is possible to use this to provide a video in a streaming manner from that point in time.

Accordingly, the user can play and watch the video from the position on the timeline where the comment is written, and thus, the user can easily know which part of the video the report was written.

In the meantime, the server 2 provides the video by the streaming method according to the user's selection. In this case, the server 2 provides the comments written at the position on the timeline of the video.

Accordingly, as shown in (c) of FIG. 3, the client 1 receives and plays a video by a streaming method, and displays comments written at a position on a timeline being played on one side of the screen together (S130). .

As shown in FIG. 3C, the client 1 plays the video through the video play window at the top of the screen, and displays the comments in the comment display window at the bottom. In this case, it can be seen that a timeline is separately displayed in the center of the screen. The timeline refers to the point in time at which the video is playing, and indicates the position where the comment is written on the timeline.

If the user selects a comment displayed in a circle on the timeline, the client 1 may highlight and display which of the comments displayed on the comment display window is selected.

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 4, the relationship between comments written at arbitrary positions on the timeline of the video is provided for the purpose of understanding, and comment 1 is placed at position 1 on the timeline of the video. You can see that comment 2 has comment 3 again. On the other hand, comment 4 is attached to position 2 on the timeline.

At this time, when only a comment 1 is displayed when displayed in a list form as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 3, as the user selects the comment 1, the comment 1 is displayed as shown in (c) of FIG. 3. If the corresponding video is played from the time of writing, the comment corresponding to the position 1 on the timeline of FIG. 4 has not only the comment 1 but also the comments 2 and 3.

That is, the screens shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 3 display the ones selected by a predetermined ranking algorithm among comments on various videos, and thus the user has no way to check the comments 2 and 3. When the video is played in relation to the comment 1 as shown in (c) of 3, the comment 2 and the comment 3 are displayed together as shown in the lower part of FIG.

As a result, the user can know which position of which video the comment 1 is, as well as what other users have left about.

On the other hand, in this case, if there is a large amount of comments compared to the screen space for displaying comments, the comments may be scrolled up and down as the video is played.

As described above, when all of the comments written in the first position on the timeline of FIG. 4 are displayed and the video is played in the second position, the client 1 finally displays the comment 4 on the screen.

That is, even if the client 1 starts playing the video by the streaming method from the first position on the timeline, comments may be written in the remaining positions of the video, and as the video is played, To display.

On the other hand, with reference to Figure 6 attached to the other side of the simultaneous display method of the video and comments according to the present invention will be described in detail.

The present invention shown in FIG. 6 limits the processes performed at the server 2 stage to enable the operation at the client 1 stage as described above.

First, as shown in (b) of FIG. 3, when the client 1 requests streaming to the server 2 as the thumbnail of any one video is selected by the user, the server is connected to the thumbnail of the selected video. Position on the timeline of the corresponding video-that is, the video is provided to the client by the streaming method from the position on the timeline where the corresponding comment is written (S210).

That is, instead of providing the video from the beginning, the server 2 retrieves the position on the timeline in which the corresponding comment is stored and provides the client 1 with the streaming method from the corresponding point.

At this time, the server 2 provides the client 1 with a plurality of previously stored comments written in a location on the timeline of the video provided by the streaming method.

In the example of FIG. 4, if the user selects the comment 1, the server 2 provides the video to the client 1 by streaming method from the first position on the timeline, but the comments written in the first position are comments 1 , 2 and 3 are both provided to client 1.

Meanwhile, as the video is played up to position 2 on the timeline, the server 1 provides the comment 4 to the client 1 as well.

By the way, position 1 and position 2 are so close together that there may not be enough time to display all the comments. For example, assuming that at least 3 seconds per comment is set to be displayed on the screen, in the case of FIG. 4, comments 1 to 4 may be sequentially displayed on the screen only when there is a time interval of at least 9 seconds between positions 1 and 2. will be.

However, if the number of comments is too large or if the time interval between two locations on the adjacent timeline where the comments are made is too short, the server 2 may provide these comments sequentially, but they may be ranked by a predetermined ranking algorithm. It may be provided according to the ranking.

For example, if position 1 and position 2 are so close that only two comments can be displayed at position 1, the server 2 sorts the comments stored at position 1 by a predetermined ranking algorithm. It is also possible to select comments 1 and 3 to provide only these to the client 1.

As described above, after calculating the time interval between the two positions where the comment is written, the server 2 provides the client 1 with a comment written in the next position.

As a result, the user can view comments made by other users on the video while viewing the video as shown in FIG.

Simultaneous display of moving pictures and comments as described above may be made in the form of a computer program and stored in a computer-readable recording medium and executed by the client 1 or the server 2.

While the present invention has been described with reference to several embodiments, these embodiments have been disclosed for purposes of illustration, and those skilled in the art will be able to make various modifications, changes, and additions within the spirit and scope of the present invention. This is to be construed as not departing from the scope of the following claims.
