Referring to FIG. 1, a network including a content service apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first terminal 101, a content service apparatus 103, and a second terminal 105. Here, the first terminal 101, the content service device 103, and the second terminal 105 may communicate with each other through the base station 107.

The first terminal 101 and the second terminal 105 are provided with an application for a content merging service from the content service device 103 in advance, or receive the application from an open market server (not shown). Can be installed.

The first terminal 101 activates the installed application, and stores the content including the first content (eg, a photo file or a folder including the photo file) to be managed on a network in the database of the content service device 103. It can be registered, stored, stored, inquired and displayed or edited on the first terminal 101. Like the first terminal 101, the second terminal 105 also registers, stores, stores and stores the content including the second content in the database of the content service device 103 through the installed application. It can be displayed or edited on 105.

That is, the first terminal 101 may receive and display the first content registered in the content service device 103 in the first terminal 101 from the content service device 103 in association with the content request. In addition, when the first terminal 101 designates the second terminal 105 and transmits a sharing request to the content service apparatus 103, the content service apparatus 103 sends the first terminal 101 to the second terminal 105. ) Can send a share request. The second terminal 105 may designate the second content among the contents registered in the content service device 103 and approve the sharing request from the first terminal 101. When the second terminal 105 approves sharing from the first terminal 101, the first terminal 101 receives from the content service apparatus 103 about the second content designated by the second terminal 105. And may be displayed together with the first content.

The first terminal 101 can designate the first and second contents and make a merge request to the content service apparatus 103, and the first terminal 101 aligns the contents with reference to the time data for each of the first and second contents. The received first and second contents may be received from the content service device 103 and displayed.

The content service apparatus 103 may extract the first content registered in the first terminal 101 from the database in association with a content request from the first terminal 101 and provide the same to the first terminal 101. In addition, when the content service device 103 receives a sharing request from the first terminal 101, the content service device 103 transmits a sharing request to the second terminal 105, and specifies a sharing approval specifying the second content from the second terminal 105.

On the other hand, when the content service device 103 receives a request for merging the first content and the second content from the first terminal 101, the content service device 103 refers to the time data for each of the first and second content, and displays the first and second content. Sorting and merging the sorted first and second content may be provided to the first terminal 101. Referencing the time data for each content means referring to time information (eg, photographing time or creation time information in a photo file) recorded in the metadata owned by the content itself. If time information is not recorded in the content itself, the content is based on the time registered in the database of the content service device 103. The time data of the content may be arbitrarily modified by the first terminal 101 or the second terminal 103 through a menu provided separately. In addition, time alignment criteria (forward and backward) may also be designated when a merge request is received from the first terminal 101.

The content service device 103 may generate separate content to provide the first terminal with the first and second contents (merged content) arranged at the request of the first terminal 101, but the first terminal may be generated. Only the reference data using the metadata of the first and second contents may be generated to display the first and second contents arranged at 101. When the first terminal 101 requests the content service device 103 to display the merged content, the content service device 103 uses only the generated reference data to display the first content and the second content previously stored in the database. The extracted content may be provided to the first terminal 101 and controlled to be displayed on the first terminal 101.

The interface 201 receives first and second contents (for example, a file or a folder including a file) from the first and second terminals, and receives the first and second contents corresponding to the first and second terminals, respectively. May be stored in the database 205. For example, the interface 201 may receive a '① to ③ folder' from the first terminal and store it in the database 205, and receive a '④ to ⑥ folder' from the second terminal and store it in the database 205.

Embodiment iii) When a sharing request is generated in the first terminal,

The interface 201 extracts, from the database 205, the second content designated by the sharing approval when receiving the sharing approval specifying the second content from the second terminal with respect to the sharing request sent from the first terminal. It may be provided to the first terminal. That is, the interface 201 allows the first terminal to access the second content selected in the second terminal, so that the second terminal can share the second content in response to the sharing request from the first terminal.

For example, when the interface 201 receives a sharing request sent from the first terminal, the interface 201 transmits a sharing request to the second terminal, and receives a sharing approval designating a '④ folder' among '④ to ⑥ folders' from the second terminal. In this case, the second content designated by the second terminal, that is, the folder ④, may be extracted from the database 205 and provided to the first terminal. In this case, the interface 201 may provide the first terminal with the '④ folder', which is approved for sharing, together with the '① to ③ folder' registered by the first terminal.

The processor 203 receives a merge request for the first content and the second content selected by the first terminal from the first terminal through the interface 201, thereby obtaining the first content and the second content in the database 205. The first content is extracted, the first and second contents are aligned with reference to the time data of each of the first and second contents, and the sorted first and second contents are merged to generate a first mixed content. The first terminal may select some of the content registered by the first terminal as the first content.

Here, when the content is, for example, a file or a folder including the file, the processor 203 may extract time data (eg, a shooting time or a file generation time) from metadata in the file.

In addition, when the first and second folders including the first and second files, respectively, are extracted from the database 205 as the first and second contents, the processor 203 extracts time data of the first and second files. The first and second files may be sorted by reference, the first and second files may be merged, and a merge folder including the merged first and second files may be generated as the first mixing content. .

For example, the processor 203 extracts, from the database 205, the first content selected by the first terminal, namely, the folder “①” to the folder “①” in the folder “①”. As the time data and the second content selected by the second terminal, the '① file' and the '④ file' are sorted by referring to the time data for the '④ file' in the '④ folder' designated by the sharing approval, The sorted '① file' and '④ file' may be merged to generate a first mixing content (eg, a merge folder including the '① file' and the '④ file' and the '⑦ folder').

The processor 203 may provide the generated first mixing content to the first terminal or the second terminal according to a request of the first terminal. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3A, the processor 203 may provide the first terminal with the first folder, the folder ⑦, which is the first mixing content, or the folder ⑦, as illustrated in FIG. As shown in b), along with the folders '④ to ⑥', the folder '⑦', which is the first mixing content, may be provided to the second terminal.

Upon providing the first mixing content, the processor 203 may be configured to perform the first mixing content in the first terminal or the second terminal according to time data of the first content or the second content constituting the first mixing content. The display position can be determined. That is, the processor 203 generates the mixing time data by arranging the time data used for the alignment in the order of time, and the first terminal or the second terminal with the first mixing content sequentially located corresponding to the generated mixing time data. By providing, the first mixing content may be displayed based on time. For example, the processor 203 includes a file '①', '09: 08, file_ # 1 'and '11: 09, file_ # 2', and a file '④', '07: 30, file '. If _ # 3 'and '10: 09, file_ # 4' are included, the mixing time data that lists the respective time data in chronological order, that is, '07: 30, 09:08, 10:09, 11:09 ' To generate a first mixing content of 'file _ # 3, file _ # 1, file _ # 4, file _ # 2' sequentially located corresponding to the mixing time data to the first terminal or the second terminal. can do.

That is, the content service device controls the first terminal to access the second content designated by the second terminal.

In operation 809, the content service apparatus may transmit a shared content designation request to the first terminal. Accordingly, the first terminal may designate the third content as the content to be shared to the second terminal. In detail, the first terminal may display the content pre-registered by the first terminal and receive a sharing selection input for the third content among the pre-registered content. For example, the first terminal may display the contents '① to ③ folder' previously registered by the first terminal, and receive a sharing selection for the '① folder'.

In operation 811, when the content service device receives the third content sharing designation from the first terminal, the content service device may extract the content content from the database and provide it to the second terminal according to a request of the second terminal. That is, the content service device may control the third content designated by the first terminal to be accessible from the second terminal. In this case, the content service device may provide the second terminal with the third content that is shared and selected together with the content previously registered by the second terminal.

In operation 813, the second terminal displays the third content that is shared and selected together with the content pre-registered by the second terminal, and the fourth content is selected among the pre-registered content by the second terminal, or the third content and the first content. When 4 contents are selected, a merge request for the 3rd and 4th contents may be generated. For example, the second terminal displays the share selected '① file' and the pre-registered '④ to ⑥ folder', and the '④, ⑤, ⑥ folder' is selected, or the '① folder' and '④, ⑤, ⑥ If a folder is selected, a merge request may be generated for the folder ① and the folders ④, ⑤, and ⑥.

In step 815, when the content service device receives a merge request for the third and fourth contents from the second terminal, the content service apparatus aligns the third and fourth contents with reference to the time data for each of the third and fourth contents. After generating the second mixed content by merging the sorted third and fourth contents, the generated second mixed content may be transmitted to the second terminal according to a content request of the second terminal. For example, if the third and fourth contents are '① folder' and '④, ⑤, ⑥ folder', the content service device may include time data for '① file' and '④, ⑤, ⑥ folder' in '① folder'. By referring to the time data for the files '④, ⑤, ⑥', '① files' and '④, ⑤, ⑥ files' are sorted, and the sorted '① files' and '④, ⑤, ⑥ files' are sorted. By merging, a second mixing content (eg, a merge folder including a file ① and a file ④, ⑤, and ⑥, and a folder ⑧) may be generated.

In operation 817, the second terminal may display second mixing content received from the content service device. In this case, the second terminal may display the second mixed content together with the content pre-registered by the second terminal and the third content shared and selected by the first terminal. For example, the second terminal may display a '① folder', '④ to ⑥ folder' and '⑦ folder (including ①, ④, ⑤ and ⑥ files)'.

As another embodiment, instead of the steps 801 to 807, the second terminal may designate the second content among the contents previously registered in the content service device by the second terminal, and generate a sharing request for the first terminal. When the content service device receives the sharing request from the second terminal, the content service device may control the second content to be accessible from the first terminal. Since the steps 809 and below are the same, the description is omitted.

In another embodiment, the step 801 to step 817 may be included, and the content merging request may be made in the first terminal as in the embodiment of FIG. 7 (steps 709 to 715). That is, after step 807, the first terminal displays the second content that is shared and selected together with the content previously registered by the first terminal, and the first content is selected from among the content previously registered by the first terminal, or the second content. And when the first content is selected, content that may generate a merge request for the first and second content. In this case, when the merging request for the first and second contents is received at the first terminal, the content service device aligns the first and second contents with reference to the time data for each of the first and second contents, and sorts them. The first and second contents may be merged to generate first mixed content, thereby allowing access of the first mixed content to the first terminal or the second terminal.
