According to the present invention, a computer queries the image files specified by location data in an edited video file and enables playing of partial images defined by partial image data for the queried image files, so that an user can edit images much conveniently and easily and, more particularly, can combine and edit multiple images easily as edited images is very small in size and allows easy re-editing.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a recording medium for recording an edited video file for providing a video edited by a user,

The present invention relates to a recording medium on which an edited video file is recorded. More specifically, the present invention relates to a computer-readable recording medium having recorded therein an edited video file, .

With the development of IT technology, a variety of services are being provided that can reproduce various images without restriction on the place or time. Most of the provided images are produced and distributed by a specific maker such as a movie or a lecture image. In recent years, UCC (User Created Contents) has been commercialized, and other users can easily enjoy a video shot and produced directly by the user It was possible. As a representative service, such as YouTube (You Tube), which allows users to upload their own videos to the YouTube site, and other users can freely access and play them through the wired and wireless online network.

In order to utilize such a service, a user who creates a video image needs to edit his or her images or images produced by others so as to produce his / her own compilation as a unique image. A variety of image editing tools have become popular to facilitate such editing.

The most primitive image editing tool employs a method of creating a single image file by cutting out only a part of the image to be edited arbitrarily required by the user and attaching the cut-out parts. In this method, an edited video file is newly created using the video file to be edited. However, in this method, when a user desires to newly edit an edited video file, it is necessary to cut out a new portion to be added, insert it at a specific position, and cut and delete a portion to be newly excluded. Therefore, . In addition, since the new image file contains only the edited image data, if the original handler or the third person desires to re-edit the edited image, the data contained in the original edited image file must be newly obtained, do.

In order to solve such disadvantages, an editing method has been proposed in which only edited metadata is added to the original image data while leaving the original image data intact.

FIG. 1 shows a data format according to an example of the conventional editing method, and schematically shows a structure of an edited image data file according to MxF Format, which is one of commercialized services. Fig. 1 shows a data structure after editing. In Fig. 1, raw data before editing is image data, and a portion added after editing is metadata. In order to edit the image, the user sets a tag to the necessary part and sets each section in the image data. With this operation, the image data before editing is divided into five frames F1 to F5. For each of the divided frames, the metadata includes information obtained by arranging individual sections in order such as F2, F5, F3, .

With this configuration, the edited video file includes meta data together with the entire raw data of the video data, and the video reproducer sequentially retrieves the frames F2, F5, and F3 from the video data by searching the meta data. In this way, edited video can be produced by adding metadata only in a state where all of the existing video data to be edited is kept as it is, and therefore, by merely modifying the contents of the metadata, And restoration can be freely performed.

However, such conventional methods also have the following problems.

That is, since the edited image data includes all the existing image data, the size of the image data file is excessively large. If the entire image data is to be edited and reproduced only for a very small number of images in a state where the capacity of the entire image data is very large (for example, a preview image including a main scene of about one minute in a two-hour movie file) , The video data after editing includes all the data, which unnecessarily increases the data amount. This is inconvenient for a user who wants to view an edited image, to pay an increase in data transmission time and an increase in communication cost due to data reception.

In addition, since the edited video data includes all the original video data in addition to the meta data, there is a possibility that the original video is restored by a third party who obtained the edited video. Therefore, even if there is a part of the editor who does not want to be exposed to others, he or she should take the risk of disclosure or exposure to this part, which may cause problems of privacy, personal information disclosure or copyright infringement .

However, in the case of creating a single edited image by combining a plurality of images included in a plurality of image data, it is necessary for the user to select a plurality of image data You have to do additional work to combine them. That is, in this case, the user must newly create raw data composed of one file by combining all the plural image data, and in this state, the user must edit the generated metadata in such a manner. Therefore, it is very difficult for users who are familiar with editing, and the work is very cumbersome and the total amount of data increases even more.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been conceived to solve the problems as described above, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a video editing method and a video editing method in which a user can edit an image in a very easy and convenient manner, And it is possible to easily combine and edit a plurality of images.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a computer-readable recording medium for recording an edited video file for providing an edited video image arbitrarily edited by a user to an image file, Position data for specifying the image file to be able to be viewed by the computer using the positional information, the positional data being configured to include position information about a stored position; And partial image data including information on at least one partial image defined by the user by setting a range for a part of the image file, Wherein the computer is configured to retrieve an image file and to allow the computer to reproduce the partial image defined by the partial image data with respect to the retrieved image file. A recording medium is proposed.

The partial image data may include information on the plurality of partial images.

Preferably, the editing image file further includes order data, which is data relating to a reproduction order of the plurality of partial images, so that when the computer reproduces the image file, And sequentially reproduce partial images.

The position data may include a plurality of pieces of position information for a plurality of image files, and the partial image data may include one or more partial images for each of the plurality of image files. Wherein the program further comprises order data, which is data relating to a reproduction order of the plurality of partial images, so that when the computer reproduces the image file, the computer sequentially reproduces the plurality of partial images according to the order set by the order data .

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of providing an edited video playback service using an edited video file of a computer-readable recording medium on which an edited video file of the above-described configuration is recorded, Providing a terminal connected to the web server so as to be viewable; b) As the terminal executes the edited video file, the web server reproduces the partial image defined by the edited video file and provides the edited video edited by the editor to one or more video files And reproducing the video data from the terminal. The present invention also provides a method for providing an edited video playback service.

The web server may classify a plurality of the edited video files into content information for each of the edited video files and provide the classified video files to the terminal.

The content information may include editor information of the edited video file.

The editor information may include a name, an ID or identification information for the editor, and / or evaluation information for the editor of the web server operator or the general user.

According to the present invention, it is possible to edit an image in a very easy and convenient manner by a user, but the size of the edited image is very small and it is very easy to re-edit after editing, have.

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

The present invention proposes a data format of an edited video file that solves the above-described problems, and provides a recording medium on which an edited video file created by the data format is recorded. Such a recording medium may be a hard disk of a web server existing on the web, a user's terminal, or a portable storage medium such as a USB memory, a CD, a DVD, or the like. In addition, the term " computer " in the present invention includes all kinds of terminals including a mobile terminal such as a smart phone or a tablet PC in addition to a general PC.

2 is a view showing a data format of an edited video file according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 2, the image file to be edited (i.e., before editing) is named "image file", and the edited image file is named "edited image file".

2, the editing image file of the present invention is roughly composed of two frames, that is, a frame of position data and partial image data (hereinafter, each frame is referred to as 'position data' and 'partial image data' .)

The position data includes position information on the web in which the image file is stored for the image file to be edited. The location information is used to specify that a computer of a person who wants to reproduce an image file can search for and retrieve an image file from the web. That is, the image file in the editing presented by the present invention is present on the web, and it is premised that the user who wants to edit can access the image file through the web using the location information of the image file. And the location information on the web of the image file. Therefore, as an example, the location information of the image file can be expressed in URL format such as "http :: // www.xxx.&lt ;, ".

However, it is only an example that such location information is defined to be accessible to general users in the form of URL, and need not necessarily be limited thereto. For example, if both the editing target image file and the edited image file are managed by the same server (or even if they are managed by different servers, information can be shared by pre-appointment between servers) The name of the folder in the server where the file was originally stored and the file name in the folder may be specified by only information other than the URL. The positional information in the present invention is defined as a concept including also this case.

The partial image data is defined by the user setting a range for a part of the image file. That is, the user sets a range for one partial image R1 in such a manner that the start position S1 and the end position E1 are specified. The partial image R1 set in this manner is included in the edit image file by the user I want to be a video. Therefore, such start position and end position are recorded in the partial image data frame in the edited video file.

According to such a configuration, the edited video file includes the position of the web image of the video file before editing and the position of the partial video R1, which is a portion to be included in the video file after editing. Therefore, when the computer receiving the edited video file wants to reproduce the edited video file, the computer finds the position of the video file on the web using the positional data in the edited video file, The partial image defined by the partial image data is reproduced. Accordingly, a user who wishes to reproduce an edited image can reproduce only the edited image by the editor using the computer of the user.

Therefore, according to the present invention, since the edited video file after editing contains only partial video data defined for the meta data including the position information of the video file before editing and the range to be reproduced in the video pane before editing, the data amount is very small. Therefore, the user who wants to reproduce the edited image can store only a very small amount of data, not the entire raw data. Therefore, the size of the required storage space is reduced. As a result, So that only the image can be provided. Furthermore, it is possible to easily re-edit even by simply modifying the position data or the partial image data of the edit image file.

3 is a diagram illustrating a data format of an edit image file according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The difference from FIG. 2 is that the partial image data includes a plurality of partial images R1 and R2.

That is, the partial image data includes not only one partial image but also two partial images R1 and R2. The range is set by setting the start positions S1 and S2 and the end positions E1 and E2, respectively . The partial image data includes information on the two partial images R1 and R2 so that R1 is reproduced first and then R2 is reproduced when an edited video file is reproduced.

4 is a diagram showing a data format of an edited image file according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The difference from FIG. 3 is that the edited image file in this embodiment has frames of order data (hereinafter, referred to as 'order data') in addition to position data and partial image data frames.

The order data is data relating to a reproduction order for a plurality of partial images. By providing such order data, the computer can sequentially reproduce a plurality of partial images in accordance with the order set by the order data upon reproduction of the video file. For example, if the sequence of R1 and R2 is recorded in the sequence data, the two partial images will be reproduced in the order of R1 and R2, and if they are recorded in the reverse order, they will be reproduced in the reverse order. Furthermore, if the order of R1, R2, and R1 is recorded, R2 will be played back after R1 is played back, and then R1 will be played back.

According to this method, the order of the partial images to be reproduced is recorded in the order data, so that the information recorded in the partial image data can be managed concisely and systematically. In addition, for example, when editing is performed to reproduce a partial image repeatedly, only the information indicating the repeated partial image can be additionally recorded in the sequence data, so that the content recorded in the partial image data can be further simplified.

FIG. 5 is a view showing a data format of an edit image file according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The difference from FIG. 4 is that there are a plurality of edit image files in this embodiment. That is, two image files to be edited (image file 1 and image file 2) are stored in different positions. Therefore, each image file is specified as a URL (or other type of positional information) whose position is different. Assuming that there are two partial images R1 and R2 in the image file 1 and two further partial images R3 and R4 in the image file 2, the position data of the image files 1 and 2 And data on the range (start position and end position) of the four partial images R1 to R4 is recorded in the partial image data. (Alternatively, the position data of the image file 1 and the data of the range of the two partial images R1 and R2 are recorded as one set, and the position data of the image file 2 and the data of the two partial images R3 and R4 And the sequence data may be written in the order of R2, R3, R1, R4, R2, etc., for each partial image R1 to R4 have.

In this way, a plurality of pieces of positional information about the image file are recorded in the position data, and one or more partial images are recorded for each of the plurality of image files, and the order data includes the order data The computer can sequentially reproduce a plurality of partial images in accordance with the order set by the order data upon reproduction of the video file.

Thus, according to the present embodiment, even when there are a plurality of image files to be edited, an edited image file is created so as to include only information on the position information of the image files and the range of the partial image, It can be edited by extracting the necessary parts.

The present invention can be applied to various types of services to provide convenience to users. Hereinafter, an example of a service using the data format of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

6, the web server 10 provides a separate editing tool (editing application program) capable of producing an edited video file according to the present invention to general users (editors) . The web server 10 provides edit video files edited by the editors to a plurality of user terminals 20 connected via the Internet.

When the terminal performs the edited image file, the partial image defined by the edited image file is reproduced by the web server 10 and provided to the terminal 20, so that the edited image edited by the editor about the image file is displayed on the terminal 20 ).

At this time, the web server 10 may classify a plurality of edited video files into content information for each edited video file and provide the edited video files to the terminal.

Here, the content information may include editor information of the edited video file. Preferably, the editor information may include a name, an ID, or identification information for the editor. In addition, the editor-in-chief may include evaluation information on the editor if the operator of the web server 10 or the general user has made an evaluation on the corresponding edition video file.

As a preferable example in which such a service is provided, a lecture contents providing web server 10 that provides various lectures can be mentioned. That is, the content information includes the main classes of the lecture contents such as "mathematics" and "differential" as the information about the lecture courses, so that the user who wants to inquire the lectures can know the basic information about the lecture contents have.

At this time, the contents information is informed of who is the editor, and the evaluation information about the editor is included. Accordingly, other students who want to take a lecture measure the reliability of the post-editing video by knowing who the editors are, whether the editors are highly qualified, or other edited video files edited by the editors are popular. can do. Therefore, if a learner extracts only the most important parts of the lecture contents of various lecturers and displays them with functions such as bookmark setting, the contents of the lecture contents can be extracted by extracting only the bookmark parts The contents of one edited lecture can be produced in the form of UCC, and the lecturer who needs the edited lecture can take the lecture edited by the editors having similar abilities by taking the lecture.

Therefore, from the viewpoint of the lecturer, it is possible to save the lecture time and utilize it for efficient learning by taking excerpts from the editing lectures produced by other people without having to take all the lectures.

FIG. 7 illustrates a modification of FIG. 6. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the user specifies the position of the partial image in the video file to be edited and produces an edited video file using the partial video. However, The present embodiment illustrates an embodiment in which a person specifying a position of a partial image in an image file to be edited and a person editing using the partial image specified in this way are different from each other.

As shown in FIG. 7, the user 1 (User 1) sets the tag 1 for the image data 1. The tag 1 is a tag inserted in a desired position after the user 1 reproduces and reproduces the video data 1. For example, a partial image R1 is divided into a start position S1 and an end position S1 Is set as the position E1 and added to the tag 1. The user 1 sets a category of "singer name" for the partial image R1 set by himself / herself, and also inputs a singer name of "cy" Such a category of "singer name" and a singer name of "cy" are stored together in the tag 1 so that a person can easily find the partial image R1 through a category or a keyword. In this way, the user 2 adds tag 2 to the image data 2, and the user N adds the tag N to the image data N. [ Accordingly, image data in which a plurality of users respectively add tags to a plurality of image data are generated.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a data structure of each tag generated by the above process. Each tag is set with a "URL" item as the location information of the image data, a "classification" and a "name" item to which the "singer name" and "cy" "Partial image data" As shown in FIG. 7, a tag having such a structure may be provided in addition to the image data itself so as to exist together with the image data. Alternatively, the tag may be independently prepared in the form of an edited image according to the present invention have.

The CMS 10a and the terminal 20a correspond to the web server 10 and the terminal 20 in Fig. 6, respectively. The CMS 10a is a system in which a plurality of users Data. As a practical example, the image data is stored in a separate storage server (not shown), and the CMS 10a stores only the data (tags 1 to N) for the tags added by users for each image data Respectively. When the user accesses the CMS 10a using the terminal 20a and inputs "Cyi" as a keyword, the CMS 10a transmits the image data including the keyword "Cyi " Retrieves the retrieved image data, and displays or reproduces a partial image tagged with "Cy" (e.g., partial image R1). The user who has viewed the displayed or reproduced partial image selects the corresponding partial image and repeats this process for a plurality of partial images. Thus, the user who is the editor can combine the tags generated by the various users into "cy" It is possible to produce a new edited image combining only the partial images in which the < RTI ID = 0.0 > That is, the partial images combined by the user of the terminal 20a as an editor are generated as an edited image file in the format as shown in Figs.

According to the present embodiment, when producing an edited video file, a subject generating a partial video to be a premise for producing an edited video file and a subject generating a final edited video file by combining the partial video are different . By applying this, for example, as described above, it is possible to produce an edited video file in which only the "Cy" is displayed by inquiring about the written partial image of the singer "Cy" as described above. Furthermore, in a situation where, for example, only a lecture for "derivative of a transcendental function" is generated in a moving image file of a lecture, and a plurality of users generate a partial image, the other users combine the partial images to collect best lectures You can create a new lecture video file. Therefore, it is possible to produce an edited video file with the judgment and preference of various users.

Furthermore, it is possible to provide a service capable of generating a new edited video file to which a new partial video is added to the edited video file even for an edited video file produced by a user.
