The present invention relates to a method of differentiating a play service and a system for performing the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a service for efficiently arranging and displaying a plurality of videos, a service for efficiently adding a comment to a specific scene during video playback, and a series video. A method of providing a service that enables user-friendly uploading and a system for performing the method.

With the rapid development of information and communication technology, the Internet is becoming popular and the Internet population is rapidly increasing, and rich contents are being developed in various fields such as e-mail, online games, chatting, and personal homepages.

Due to the development of rich contents, users connected to the Internet go from the passive form that simply receives the information provided from the web server, and the Internet users actively form a community by using the contents provided by the server. Using the storage space provided by the server, you can upload and share data.

In addition, with the popularity of the Internet, video media devices, and devices with video recording functions such as digital cameras, camcorders, and mobile phones have become popular, they produce their own content, store it on the Internet, and share it freely with others. A generation of participating creative concepts has emerged, and these have led to the rapid proliferation of UCC in recent years. The UCC stands for User Created Contents, and it reflects the desire of general netizens to form a consensus with other netizens while also producing information that is faster and more meaningful than existing media. As a result, many Web sites offer large amounts of storage space and video publishing and playback services.

In general, web sites that provide video sharing among Internet users have the ability to leave a video where the video can be stored on the Internet and to leave a comment (or footer) as the saved video is published and played. It provides additional functions such as providing a list of other videos and previewing video scenes. The various functions provided by the website provide convenience and benefit to the user, and the functions provided may vary from website to website.

In general, only one video is displayed on a page in the web site providing the video sharing function. However, if you upload two or more videos that are related in terms of content or are to be compared, you can upload them on the same page, which will help users understand and save effort to find related posts. That is, when a plurality of related multimedia contents are posted on one page, the user's convenience is increased. FIG. 1 shows a conventional example of such a case.

Figure 1 shows an example of the video play service of the portal site Naver currently being implemented, and accordingly provides up to three videos on one page. It can be said that compared to the past in that multiple related videos can be displayed on one page, but as the number of videos displayed on one page increases, the length of the page becomes longer. As shown in FIG. 1, the lower video occupies only a space and does not function properly when the currently playing video is the upper video.

On the other hand, web sites that provide video-related services, in addition to basic functions such as storage and playback of multimedia content such as video, communicate with users who watched the shared video (for example, through commenting). To make it possible. The comment (or footer) function is a function that can leave a post within a limited number of characters under a post. In general, users upload their own videos, but they also watch videos posted by other users, and they leave comments about their videos. Comments usually display information such as information on the author (eg, nickname), comment content, and the time when the comment was posted. FIG. 2A illustrates a case where a comment is input in a specific scene of a video. same.

In operation S501, the play service differentiation system 401 provides an upload window for uploading a video to the terminal 402. Thus, the user uploads a plurality of related videos which he wishes to upload in one page using the upload window. Although uploading of a plurality of videos (or multi videos) to be treated as one such package may be performed at the same time, it may be uploaded with a time difference. However, when uploading with time difference, it should be specified that it is the same package as the existing video.

In step S502, the play service differentiation system 401 receives a plurality of video contents uploaded by the user. In this case, when the received video is designated as the same package as the previously received video, the video may be classified into a corresponding package group.

When the user requests viewing of a specific video among a plurality of videos belonging to a specific package in step S503, the play service differentiation system 401 provides the specific video to the play window on the screen of the terminal 402 and simultaneously with the specific video. The remaining videos belonging to the same package may be provided around the play window in a thumbnail format. A specific example thereof will be described below with reference to FIG. 6.

6 is an exemplary view illustrating an exposure service method for a multi video according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The screen displayed on the terminal 402 by the multi-video exposure service provided by the play service differentiation system 401 includes a play window 601 and a thumbnail window 602, and the thumbnail window 602 includes a first thumbnail ( 602a), a second thumbnail 602b, and a third thumbnail 602c. For reference, in FIG. 6, three thumbnails are shown in the thumbnail window 602. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may include at least one thumbnail. If there is no video uploaded as a package, thumbnails are not included at all. You may not.

The play window 601 is provided with a video requested by the user to play (the initial state of the video provided on the play window 601 may be a still picture), the thumbnail window 602 is provided with a video provided in the play window 601 And designation information for a video designated by the same package may be provided in the form of a thumbnail. For example, when one of the first thumbnail 602a, the second thumbnail 602b, and the third thumbnail 602c is clicked, the first thumbnail 602a, the second thumbnail 602b, or the third thumbnail 602c is clicked. The video designated by the thumbnail is provided to the play window 601.

Here, the still image of the video provided in the play window 601 may be an image of the foremost part of the video. When the still picture is provided in the play window 601, the still picture of the video is provided near the middle of the play window 601. A play button may be provided, and when a play button is clicked with a pointing device such as a mouse or a keypad, a corresponding video may be played. It is to be noted that examples of such regeneration methods are applicable throughout the present specification without particular mention.

On the other hand, if the video is multi-uploaded as shown in Figure 6, after the playback of the video currently shown in the playback window 601 is finished, the next video can be played back without the user takes any action of course.

As such, the play service differentiation system 401 provides the terminal 402 by spatially efficiently arranging videos belonging to the same package, i.e., videos related to the contents, in a single page and automatically playing them sequentially by the multi video exposure service. This helps you build a user-friendly interface.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a scene comment service method according to another embodiment of the present invention.

In step S701, the play service differentiation system 401 receives a playback request for a specific video from a user. For example, the act of the user operating a pointing device such as a mouse or a keypad to select a specific video by clicking or double-clicking or the like can be understood as the play request from the user by the play service differentiation system 401.

In step S702, the play service differentiation system 401 provides a specific video to the playback window for playback based on a playback request signal from the user.

In step S703, while the user plays a specific video, the user may comment on a specific scene in real time, and the play service differentiation system 401 recognizes and receives it as a comment input signal. The play service differentiation system 401 continues to play a specific video that was played even though the comment input signal is received through the play window.

On the other hand, when the play service differentiation system 401 receives a comment input signal, the play service differentiation system 401 receives information about the person who has commented, the time at which the comment was input, and the content of the comment. At this time, if there are multiple videos on one page and various comments are given on the same, the video identification number for distinguishing each video may be received together.

In step S704, the play service differentiation system 401 is convenient for a user to view all or part of information about a user who has entered a comment, the time at which the comment was input, the contents of the comment, and the identification number of the commented video. Arrange the configuration appropriately so as to provide the terminal 402. Specific examples of such a user friendly interface will be described below with reference to FIG. 8.

8 is a diagram illustrating a scene comment service method according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, a screen displayed on the terminal 402 by a scene comment service provided by the play service differentiation system 401 includes a play window 801, a thumbnail window 802, a comment input window 803, and a comment. The display unit 804 is included. The thumbnail window 802 includes a first thumbnail 802a, a second thumbnail 802b, and a third thumbnail 802c, and designates information about the multi-motion video in the same way as the thumbnail window 602 described in FIG. It includes.

The play window 801 is provided with a video that the user requests to play, and the thumbnail window 802 is provided with thumbnail information for the videos provided in the play window 801 and videos uploaded on the same page in the form of thumbnails. Can be. For example, when the first thumbnail 802a is clicked, a video designated by the first thumbnail 802a is provided in the play window 801.

On the other hand, the comment input window 803 includes a drop-down menu window (803a) that can be easily selected and entered by using a drop-down menu, and a direct input window (803b) that can directly enter a comment, In addition, it may include a video identification number and a playback time for comment input. Here, the video identification number portion is displayed the video number currently being viewed, when only one video is attached to the post may not expose the video identification number. When the user starts to input a comment through the comment input window 803, the time of the playback time included in the comment input window 803 is stopped and the time can be modified as desired by the user. The playback time included in the window 803 flows in the same manner as the actual video playback time displayed inside the playback window 801 again. On the other hand, the drop-down menu window (803a) can show a selection prompt by default, by putting a scene comment input button and the LIKE IT button (or, a fly-up button) in the comment input window 803, input comments in a variety of ways Do it. In addition, the comment input window 803 may also show the playback state separately from the play time information. For example, if the video is playing, Play is displayed, if the video is paused, Pause is displayed, and if the video is in the paused state (before playback, playback is completed, or if the stop button is pressed during playback). It can be displayed as Stop.

In addition, it can be seen that the comment display unit 804 is provided with comment inputter's information, video identification number, comment input time, and comment content. Similarly, the video identification number appearing in the comment display unit 804 may be displayed on the screen only when a plurality of videos are attached to the post. In addition, the comment input time displayed on the comment display unit 804 may be a time modified by the user through the comment input window 803 as described above. In addition, when the user does not manually modify the playback time in the comment input window 803, the playback time may be determined as a time when one of a plurality of comments is clicked by the pointing device in the drop-down menu window 803a. The time may be set as the time when the direct input window 803b is clicked by the pointing device, or when the character starts to be input after clicking. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the scene comment input button or the LIKE IT button may be determined as the clicked time.

Referring to FIG. 8, when the identification number of the video provided in the playback window 801 is 2, and the video has been played for about 2 minutes, the user inputs a comment using the comment input window 803. Assuming that the playback time is input in 2 minutes and 18 seconds, the comment display unit 804 indicates that a comment inputter named 'viper' posted a comment of a specific content in 2 minutes and 18 seconds for the second video. As a result, various comments on a plurality of videos are explicitly distinguished and provided to the user.

At this time, even when a comment is input through the comment input window 803, since the playback of the video through the play window 801 is not stopped, it can satisfy the needs of users who want to watch without being disturbed. In addition, through the comment display unit 804, a variety of comments for each video is easily distinguished and can be read at a glance, there is an advantage that it can be easily viewed compared to the prior art bidler (viddler) and the like.

On the other hand, the play service differentiation system 401, if any one of the comment inputter information, video identification number, comment input time, comment content described in the comment display unit 804 is clicked by the user, the video corresponding to the video identification number Can be played through the playback window 801 from the comment input time. At this time, the time to be reproduced may be exactly the same as the comment input time described in the comment display unit 804, but in some cases, the time to be reproduced may be a time determined by adding and subtracting back and forth as appropriate.

In step S901, the play service differentiation system 401 detects whether the user selects a series upload button, that is, whether or not the user wants to weave the video to be uploaded into a series with one of the previously uploaded videos. For reference, a specific example of the series raising button will be described below with reference to FIG. 10, and thus the description thereof will be reduced.

In operation S902, when it is detected that the series upload button is selected, the play service differentiation system 401 provides the terminal 402 with a list including previously uploaded videos. In this case, the provided video list may include a video uploaded by a specific user, and in this case, a list of m videos uploaded by a specific user and n videos uploaded as a fragment may be shown together. In this case, the list of recently uploaded videos as a series shows the final episode for each series, so that you can easily upload the next episode of the series. Do not. In addition, the video list portion uploaded as a short piece exposes a video that has not been woven into the series so far, and similarly, if there is no corresponding video at all, the corresponding area is not exposed. As such, if there is no corresponding list at all, a default phrase indicating that there is no uploaded video may be exposed.

In some cases, the video list may be a concept including not only a video uploaded by the specific user but also a video uploaded by arbitrary users. This may be a concept that can be actively applied when various users competitively post various parody (ie, series) on a specific topic in a specific community.

The user may select a specific video from the video list provided on the terminal 402 so that a new video to be uploaded is bundled in a series relationship with the specific video.
