Referring to FIG. 1, the system includes a digital signage 120 and a server 130, and is connected to the guest device 140 and the host device 150 via a network.

Creating digital albums

The guest arriving at the event place registers (attends) the event attendance (sign-up) through the digital signage 120. The guest registers the identification information (e.g., mobile phone number) of the guest device 120 owned by the guest or the information (e.g., name, date of birth) that can identify the guest device 120 as digital signage 120 to request event attendance registration. The digital signage transmits an event attendance registration request including the information inputted by the guest to the server 130. The server 130 determines whether attendance of the guest in the database 134 or 136 of the server based on the attendance registration request Lt; / RTI >

The guest who has registered for the event attendance can take a picture (or a moving picture) authenticating the attendance of the event using the digital signage 120. When the guest has photographed an event attending authentication photograph, the digital signage provides the photographed attestation authentication photograph to the server 130 together with information capable of identifying the guest. The server 130 collects photographs and moving pictures taken by the event attendees at the digital signage 120 and stores them on the event contents database 136. [

The server 130 stores photographs and videos collected through the digital signage to identify the event, identification information of the digital signage, identification information of the host of the event, and / And stores it in the event content database 136 in association with the identification information (or contact information).

The server 130 transmits a guide (or a link) that can participate in the creation of the digital album of the event to the guest device 140 of the guest whose event attendance is confirmed.

The guest uploads the content related to the event to the server 130 through the guest device 140 using the transmitted guide. The server sends the uploaded content from the guest device 140 to the event content database 136. In association with the identification information of the event, the identification information of the guest device 140, and / or the identification information of the guest (such as the contact information, the name or the identifier given separately) in the event content database 136.

The server 130 identifies a set of content associated with a particular event using information associated with the content stored in the event content database 136. [ The server 130 generates a digital album associated with the event by using the set of contents identified as described above. In addition, the server 130 updates the digital album using the newly collected contents after the digital album is minimally generated.

The digital album is created by directly using the digital signage 120 installed at the event site, and uploading the uploaded content using the guest device 140 of the guest whose presence is confirmed by using the digital signage 120 . Thus, the digital album enables more efficient collection and sharing of contents that event attendees can not efficiently share by being distributed to respective devices. A method of generating and providing a digital album will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

The host of the event browses the generated digital album through the host device 150 in association with the event. Hosts can use digital albums to share content related to an event to others. Hosts can also use digital albums to communicate with guests of events more.

A host with a digital album Guest Interaction

The digital album provides an interface for the host to contact the guest who created the digital album. For example, as the host selects a photo on the digital album or a link displayed in association with it, a request for communication with the guest who posted the photo is transmitted from the host device 150 to the server 130 . The request includes information that can be used to identify the guest who uploaded the picture, such as the identification information of the picture.

Upon receiving the request from the host device, the server 130 confirms the contact information of the guest stored in association with the photo selected by the host in the guest database 134, using the information included in the request.

The server 130 also initiates a process to enable communication between the host and the guest that uploaded the photo, using the contact information identified in the guest database 134. [ For example, the server 130 may allow the host device 150 to provide an interface by which the guest 130 can send a message to the guest using the guest contact information identified by the server 130. [ As another example, the server 130 may also enable the host device 150 to provide an interface by which guest device 140 associated with the identified guest contact information can be called.

In response to a request from the host device 150 via the digital album, the server 130 can customize the communication to the guest by using additional information related to the guest identified as the communication target . For example, the server 130 confirms the guest group information to which the guest identified as the communication target belongs in the guest database 134, and provides the predefined message template associated with the group information to the host device .

In addition, the server 130 may propose a plurality of guests as message receiving destinations, based on a request from the host device 150. [ In response to a request from the host device 150, when a guest who uploaded a picture selected by the host in the digital album is identified, another guest (which can be identified as belonging to the same group) May be included through the host device 150. Through this proposal, the host can send messages more efficiently to multiple guests attending the event. The message proposal of such a server will be described in detail also with reference to Fig.

Through digital albums guest upload Content share

The host can use the digital album to efficiently share the posted content to guests associated with the event. When the host selects any content on the digital album or a link displayed in association with the content, an interface is provided in the host device 150 to share the content. The interface is used by the guest device 140 to send a message containing information such as the content selected by the host or a link to access the content.

When a specific content is selected on the digital album displayed on the host device, the server 130 performs a process for proposing / identifying a content-sharing guest using information on the content. The server checks the event content database 136 or the guest database 134 with a data item related to the content selected by the host. The server can suggest contacts of other guests who can be classified into the same group as the guest who uploaded the content as a guest of content sharing. For example, if the guest who uploaded the content is a relative of the host, contacts of guests identified as relatives of the host on the database associated with the server 130 may be proposed for content sharing.

Attendee Registration - Digital Sineji

A guest attending an event can enter attendees by inputting information through a digital signage 120 installed at an event place.

The digital signage displays an interface on the digital signage screen allowing the event attendee to input his or her own information. The event attendee inputs his / her name, phone number, other contact information, information on the relationship with the event host, etc. through the displayed interface and requests attendance registration. In response to this request, the digital signage sends a request for attendee registration to the server based on the information entered from the event attendee.

In one embodiment of the present invention, if a list of guests is already stored in a server or a digital signage through pre-registration or invitation, the event attendee can digitally sign information that can identify himself or herself from an already stored list The attendee registration process can be started. For example, when an event attendee inputs identification information such as his or her mobile phone number into a digital signage, the digital signage reads the information matching the corresponding identification information from the list stored in the server or the digital signage in advance, Along with the information, it displays the interface requesting confirmation of the attendee. Once the event attendant confirms that the information displayed through the interface is correct, the digital signage sends a request for user registration to the server.

On the other hand, the information input to the digital network can also be performed through the NFC module installed in the digital network. When information for attendee registration is input from a mobile device of an event attendant as a digital signage, the digital signage indicates that the information is input through other information input means (for example, a touch screen or a keyboard) of the digital signage The same or similar process may be used to send a request for user registration to the server.

In an embodiment of the present invention, information input to the digital network can also be performed through exchange of information between an event attendee's mobile device, for example, an application installed in a smart phone or the like and an application installed in a digital network.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the information that the event attendant inputs directly to the digital signage or indirectly through his or her mobile device may include information about the relevant donation or benefit associated with the event. The information on donations or contributions may include information about the payment means.

Digital signage, on the other hand, provides an interface by which an event attendee can take an event photo or video, either in conjunction with attendee registration of the event attendee or separately. When an event attendee takes a picture or a video through a camera installed in connection with the digital signage, the digital signage transmits the photo or video to the server in connection with information capable of identifying the event attendee. The content transmitted from the digital network is stored in the event content database 136 in association with the event attendee information.

Attendee Registration - Server

When a registration request for an attendee is received via the digital network, the server 130 generates or updates information related to the event attendee in the database related to the event based on the information received from the digital network. . For example, the server can perform event attendee registration by identifying, in the event related database, a data item associated with the event attendee and recording information such as attendance and attendance time.

The server may perform validation of the actual attendance of the event attendee prior to updating the event attendee's presence or absence of the event on the database. The server may request digital signage to request additional information if the attendee registration is requested via digital signage. For example, when an event attendee requests an attendee registration using his / her name, the server can transmit the instruction to the digital signage so that the digital signage can additionally request information such as the date of birth in addition to the received name information.

When the event attendee requests the attendee registration through the digital network or the registration is completed according to the request, the server can transmit information confirming the attendee registration to the guest device or the host device. This attendance confirmation information, which confirms attendee registration, may include statistical information about the event attendees, not just individual attendee registration.

On the other hand, if the host of the event sets an alarm for the attendance of a guest meeting a certain condition in advance, the server may notify the attendance of the attendee by digital network When the registration of the attendee is completed, the server causes the alarm to be transmitted to the host device.

The server can transmit information related to the gift or voucher provided for the event attendee to the guest device when the event attendee requests attendance registration via digital signage or registration is completed according to the request. Such a gift or voucher may include a parking voucher, meal voucher information, etc. that may be used at the event location.

Events Content collection

It is already mentioned that event attendees can transmit event-related content such as photos, videos, voice / text messages, etc. to the server via digital signage. The server can additionally collect event related content through a separate path.

The server sends information to the event attendee's mobile device to guide the upload method of the event-related contents (photo and video). After the event attendance authentication or registration is performed, the guide information can be transmitted to the contact of the event attendee. The guide information is transmitted to the guest device in various forms such as e-mail, text message, multimedia message, .

The guide information (guide) for registering the event-related content may include an address, a page, or link information from which the event attendee can upload the captured content. More specifically, the event-related content registration guide information (guide) includes an e-mail address where the event attendee can upload the captured content, a web page address, a link enabling the content upload interface to be activated in the device of the event attendee .

The event attendee can upload the event related content such as a photograph taken at the event site to the server based on the guidance information transmitted from the server. Such an event-related content registration request may be transmitted from the guest device to the server, and additional information regarding the use of the content as part of the event-related digital album may also be transmitted from the guest device to the server. For example, an event attendee can transmit information such as setting information relating to disclosure of an event-related content to be registered by himself / herself, a shooting time, a photographing place, and a comment associated with the content to the server through the guest device.

Providing digital event albums

The server can register and store the contents collected via the digital network or through the guest device as content related to a specific event. The server can generate and provide a digital album of the event by using all or a part of the specific event-related contents registered in this way. The digital album does not necessarily mean only a form of a file that can be transmitted and copied independently, but refers to a collection of various types of information in which digital contents such as an updateable web page can be expressed.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, a digital album is not necessarily limited to a form of displaying content, but may also function as a kind of digital guest book. For example, a host of an event may request and view a digital album of a form including only a list of attendees excluding contents, a gift donation provided by an attendee, and an actual attendance of an invited attendee.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the digital album is not necessarily provided in one version for one event, and the server can generate various versions of digital albums according to the object to which the digital album is to be provided. Different versions of digital albums differ in their content and / or in the provisioning properties of the digital album.

For example, a digital album can be viewed as a version that can be viewed by an event attendee, a version that can be viewed even if the event is not attended, and a version that is only accessible to an event host or a person who has a special relationship with the event host Different versions of digital albums may be provided depending on the audience. For a wedding, a digital album for the bride's guests and an album for the groom's guests can be created separately.

On the other hand, different versions of the album may be created based on the relationship information between the event attendant and the event host that registered the content. In the case of a wedding, it is possible to create various versions of the digital album by distinguishing the photographs of the groom side guest and the bride side guest.

The criteria and settings for creating various versions of the digital album may be changed by an event host or an event organizer.

In one embodiment of the invention, a digital album that is only allowed to be viewed by restricted event attendees may include additional information that is not allowed to be viewed by event attendees who do not have such viewing rights. For example, a digital album for an event host only may contain information such as a gift or donation from an event attendee.

Send Confirmation Message

Referring to FIG. 3, when the event attendee completes the attendance registration through digital signage, the server searches the event database for the contact information of the attendee whose registration is completed, and sends the attendance confirmation message to the contact.

The attendance confirmation message may include a predetermined message by an event host or the like, and guide information for registering an event related content may also be included.

Create a message suggestion

The server may send a message edit / confirm request to the host terminal to help dispatch the message of the event host to the event attendee who has completed the attendee registration.

Such a message edit / confirm request may include a message draft generated by the server based on attendee information. Such a message draft may be created based on event related database stored information about registered event attendees.

For example, the server may suggest a destination of a message draft to be delivered to the host device. The server identifies one or more groups of event attendees based on attendee information, and the message draft may include at least one of the groups identified as a message destination. The identification of the event attendee group by the server may be performed at a time point when the event is terminated and attendee registration is no longer possible, or even if the attendee registration is possible, a certain number of attendees are not classified, .

On the other hand, the server can suggest the contents of the message draft. The contents of such a message draft may be applied to different message templates depending on the reception of the message. For example, messages about relatives attending a wedding could be presented with more polite content, and messages about bride and groom's buddies attending a wedding could be suggested as more informal.

Before such a message is sent to the actual recipients, the server requests the host device to edit and confirm the message. The event host that is requested to edit and confirm the message edits and confirms the message draft proposed by the server. In some cases, prior to sending the message, the server may ask the host device to confirm the destination of the message again. When confirmation of the content of the message and the recipient is made from the host device, the server sends a message composed of the contacts of the identified recipients.

The message sent from the server to the guest device may take various forms including e-mail, SMS, etc. depending on the contact type of the event attendee designated as the destination of the message.

The event attendees proceed with the attendance registration through the digital signage installed at the event place. In this process, the attendee can proceed with the attendee registration using the contact information such as his mobile phone number. When the event attendant registration request including the inputted mobile phone number is received (310), the server identifies (or creates) a data item associated with the corresponding number on the basis of the corresponding mobile phone number, .

When the attendee registration request using the mobile phone number is received, the server can perform a process of authenticating whether the participant who made the attendance registration request is the person who actually owns the mobile phone corresponding to the mobile phone number. For example, the server may cause the authentication code to be sent to the mobile phone number included in the event attendee registration request. If a valid authentication code is input and transmitted in the digital network, the server checks the received authentication codes and proceeds to register the event attendant (320). The event attendee registration can be performed on the event related database by updating the value of the attendance field in the data item of the attendee (guest) identifiable by the mobile phone number or other information.

When the event attendee registration is completed, the server transmits a guide for uploading the event-related photograph or moving picture to the mobile phone number (330). Such a guide may include address information capable of transmitting contents such as photographs taken by a guest device to a server. Such address information may include a mobile phone number associated with the server, an email address, a web page address, and the like.

When an event attendee transmits event related contents photographed by using his / her mobile device or the like to a reception address (destination) included in a guide received from the server, the contents are received by the server, May be stored in association with the identification information of the attendee (340). The collected event related contents can be used to create an event related digital album. As described above, not only the contents collected through the reception address included in the guide provided by the server can be used for the creation of the event-related digital album, but also the contents photographed by the event attendee directly in the digital signage, Can be included in the album.

The server is. (350) generates and updates an event-related digital album based on the content, such as the received content received from the event attendant, in real time or after the progress of the event is completed in parallel with the progress of the event.

Once the digital album is created and ready, the link to view the digital album on the host device or the packaged album itself may be delivered (360). The digital album created and provided by the server does not necessarily mean only a statically configured package, it is a dynamic collection of event-related information that can be viewed by the guest device or the host device and can be continuously updated . &Lt; / RTI >
