Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an image acquisition method and an acquisition program for an online mall upload,

The present invention relates to an image acquisition method and an image acquisition program for an online mall upload, and more particularly, to a method and a program for easily acquiring a product image suitable for uploading to an online mall during an online mall operation.

There is an increasing trend of customers purchasing products using an online shopping mall on a web page through an Internet network or a mobile communication network (hereinafter referred to as a "network communication network"). In general, most of the product purchase means using the online shopping mall is provided by providing various product information to customers through the product detail page for advertising the product provided in the shopping mall.

In this form, an advertisement (a product detail page provided on a web page) is uploaded to a predetermined sales site (Up Load) from a shopping mall operator or business owners who have entered the shopping mall, And a purchase and payment processing process of the purchaser.

In order to produce an advertisement (hereinafter referred to as "product details page") for enhancing the purchasing power of a consumer, it is necessary to ask an advertising agency (web design company) that professionally produces a product detail page, And the like. This causes producers to spend more time and money than necessary to produce product detail pages.

Previously, in order to upload a product image to an online mall, tasks had to be performed in sequence by various personnel. That is, a photographer takes a photograph of a commodity, a designer receives a commodity photograph, and performs image editing. After that, the product planner took over the edited image and uploaded it to the online mall.

In this way, since the product image to be uploaded to the online mall is completed through a plurality of manpower (i.e., the person in charge), the process of uploading the product image to the online mall may be delayed when a large number of goods are received at one time. If product image uploads are delayed, delaying the commencement of product sales may cause damage to the sales of online malls. In particular, in the case of an online mall where a small quantity of various items are sold, if the uploading of the goods in the online mall is delayed, the service model itself will be hindered.

Accordingly, the present invention is to provide an image acquisition method and an acquisition program for an online mall upload, which can be performed from acquisition of an original image (i.e., a captured image) of a product to image editing and uploading to an online mall at a time.

Also, commonly used predefined terms are not ideally or excessively interpreted unless explicitly defined otherwise.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of illustrating embodiments and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention. In the present specification, the singular form includes plural forms unless otherwise specified in the specification. The terms " comprises "and / or" comprising "used in the specification do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements in addition to the stated element.

A mobile terminal as used herein includes all of the various devices that can perform computational processing to provide results to a user. For example, the computer may be a smart phone, a tablet PC, a cellular phone, a personal communication service phone (PCS phone), a synchronous / asynchronous A mobile terminal of IMT-2000 (International Mobile Telecommunication-2000), a Palm Personal Computer (PC), a personal digital assistant (PDA), and the like.

In this specification, an online mall refers to a virtual shopping mall where goods are traded on-line via wire / wireless communication. That is, the online mall refers to an online space that relays merchandise transactions, including images and images of goods to be traded, detailed merchandise information, and the like. The online mall can be accessed through a homepage or an application using a mobile terminal possessed by users. In addition, the online mall may be a space for selling used goods as well as a space for selling new goods.

In this specification, the photographed image means the first image photographed using a camera provided in the mobile terminal. That is, the photographed image may mean an image before the specific setting value is applied after being captured by the camera.

In the present specification, the correction image refers to an image corrected by applying a specific setting value to the shooting image.

Referring to FIG. 1, a method for acquiring an image for online mall upload according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: receiving a correction setting value for a first image taken by a mobile terminal; (S200) of generating a first corrected image by applying the set value to the first captured image according to a user's request; A photographing place matching step (S300) of acquiring photographing place information and matching and storing the setting value and photographing place information; (S1300) receiving a selection request of setting value information for a specific photographing place from a user and applying the selected setting value to the photographed second photographing image to generate a second correction image; And transmitting the second corrected image to the on-line mall server or another terminal of the user according to a user's request (S1600). Hereinafter, a detailed description of each step will be described.

The mobile terminal receives a correction setting value for the first captured image of a specific product (S100). That is, the mobile terminal can receive a setting value (i.e., a first set value) for correcting the first captured image captured by the user's operation. For example, when a user (e.g., a merchandiser) first acquires a shot image of a merchandise at a particular place, the user first inputs the set value to which the first shot image can be best expressed can do. As shown in FIG. 2, the set value may include brightness, contrast, saturation, temperature, sharpness, whether a whitening effect is applied, and the like. The user can grasp the set values suitable for the photographed image obtained at a specific photographing place by adjusting respective detailed elements.

In step S200, the mobile terminal applies the set value to the first captured image in response to a user's request to generate a first corrected image. That is, the mobile terminal may receive a request to apply the set value to the first captured image to generate the first corrected image.

The mobile terminal acquires the shooting location information and stores the setting value and shooting location information in a matching manner (S300; photographing location matching step). In one embodiment, the mobile terminal receives shooting location information from a user, and may match and store a set value set to be applied to the first shooting image as a value for the input shooting location.

In another embodiment, the mobile terminal may measure the current position and match the measured current position with the set value by determining the set position that is set to apply the measured current position to the first shot image. Various methods can be applied to a method in which the mobile terminal recognizes the current position. For example, it is possible to identify the current location based on the identification information included in the Wi-Fi signal, the beacon signal, etc., as well as the outdoor positioning method using the GPS signal. For example, the location can be recognized based on the SSID of the Wi-Fi signal acquired by the mobile terminal.

The photographing location matching step S300 may include matching the second setting value for the photographing location with the photographing place information when the current state information other than the position information is different, And stored. Even if a shot image is acquired at the same shooting place, a picture in a different state can be obtained according to the situation condition. For example, in the case of an external light source, there may be differences in the state of the picture obtained at the same place depending on the weather. Accordingly, when the current state information is different even though the same location, the mobile terminal can individually store the identification information that can distinguish each set value. That is, the mobile terminal stores the information (for example, photographing time or weather at the time of shooting, etc.) that can distinguish each setting value in addition to the shooting location (or the location information) .

In step S1300, the mobile terminal receives a request for selection of setting value information for a specific photographing location from the user, and applies the selected setting value to the photographed second photographing image to generate a second correction image. First, the mobile terminal receives a selection request of setting value information for a specific photographing place from the user. In one embodiment, the mobile terminal can directly select desired set value information from the user. That is, the user can search for and select a setting value corresponding to a place where the second shot image is acquired from among a plurality of set values displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal. As shown in FIG. 10, the mobile terminal is displayed in the 'Quick Calibration' tab

In another embodiment, the mobile terminal may be able to determine the location of the photographing based on the location information recognition method and select a set value. For example, when the set value obtained at the time of generating the first correction image includes the SSID of the Wi-Fi existing at the photographing place, the mobile terminal recognizes the SSID of the Wi-Fi in the place where the second photographing image is acquired , And can extract the set value corresponding to the SSID.

Thereafter, the mobile terminal applies the selected set value to the photographed second photographed image to generate a second corrected image.

If it is determined by the user that the set value corresponding to the second captured image is not stored, the mobile terminal performs the setting interface operation as shown in FIG. 2 from the user to input a new set value, A second corrected image can be generated.

The mobile terminal transmits the second correction image to the on-line mall server or another terminal of the user according to the user's request (S1600). The user can determine the transmission target of the second corrected image according to a desired method. When it is desired to upload the image to the online mall server at the time of shooting, the mobile terminal can directly transmit the second corrected image to the online mall server. In addition, if the user desires to perform additional work within a separate terminal, the mobile terminal can transmit the second corrected image to a specific folder of the other terminal of the user according to the request of the user.

3, when the second corrected image is transmitted to the on-line Mall server and displayed on the homepage of the on-line Mall, the step of obtaining the item classification information and the detailed product information and transmitting the obtained information to the on-line Mall server S1700). ≪ / RTI > That is, the mobile terminal can input the goods classification information (for example, the category to which the goods corresponding to the second correction image belongs) and the item detail information (for example, the size of the goods, Interface can be created or received and provided. Thereafter, the mobile terminal can receive the product classification information and the product detailed information from the user, and can transmit the inputted product classification information and the product detailed information together with the second corrected image to the online mall server and upload it to the online mall .

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, acquiring size information conforming to the upload image condition of a specific online mall (S400); And adjusting a size of the second captured image based on the size information (S500). (For example, the size of a photographic image, the size of a capacity, etc.) required depending on an online mall, and the size of a photographed image generally photographed by a camera is larger than a size required in an online mall. Accordingly, the mobile terminal receives the size information corresponding to the upload image condition of the specific on-line mall (S400), and adjusts the size of the second shot image based on the size information (S500). The mobile terminal may adjust the size of the second captured image or may adjust the size of the second captured image by cutting out the unnecessary area in the second captured image. That is, the mobile terminal can reduce the size of the background area to a size matching the upload condition of the online mall.

Also, as shown in FIG. 5, a step (S600) of acquiring a list of unnecessary data of a specific online mall upload image is performed. And deleting data in the second shot image based on the unnecessary data list (S700). For example, the photographed image obtained by the camera of the mobile terminal includes GPS information corresponding to the photographed location, but the GPS information is not required when uploading the image to the online mall. Accordingly, the mobile terminal can acquire an unnecessary data list (for example, from the online mall server) at the time of uploading to the online mall (S600) and remove the data included in the corresponding list in the second shot image (S700 ). As a result, the capacity of the second correction image to be uploaded to the online mall can be reduced.

Also, as shown in FIG. 6, extracting one or more set values based on the current position information obtained by the mobile terminal (S800); And displaying the extracted one or more set values on a screen (S900). That is, the mobile terminal can recognize the current position and extract one or more stored set values while acquiring the captured image at the corresponding position. Thereafter, the mobile terminal provides the extracted one or more set values to the screen, so that the set value can be selected and provided to the user in accordance with the current position among the many set values stored in the mobile terminal.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, step (S1000) of extracting one or more set values in order of relevance in accordance with the current state information may be further included. The current state information may include photographing time, current position information, weather information, and the like. The mobile terminal may calculate the priority of a plurality of setting values by reflecting at least one element included in the current status information. Therefore, the user can easily select a set value suitable for the current state in which the photographing is performed.

8, recognizing the boundary between the product image and the background image in the second shot image (S1100); And converting the background image to a specific color based on the boundary (S1200). The shot image may include a product image corresponding to the product and a background image forming a background excluding the product. When a user shoots a product in a general background rather than a desired color when shooting a product, it is necessary to change the background image to a color suitable for uploading to the online sunset page. Accordingly, the mobile terminal recognizes the boundary between the product image and the background image in the second shot image (S1100), and can change the background image to a desired color or pattern (S1200). Accordingly, the user does not have to prepare a specific background of the photographing place, and only if the photographing is performed in a background capable of recognizing the boundary between the product image and the background image, the user can generate an image converted into a background suitable for the online Mall page So that it is possible to easily generate an image for uploading.

Also, as shown in FIG. 9, comparing the first corrected image using the same set value as the second corrected image to which the set value is applied (S1400); And calculating a fitness of the set value application for the second corrected image (S1500). A set value for a specific photographing place may not be suitable for generating the second corrected image by applying to the second photographing image as the current state information such as the weather is different. In addition, when the mobile terminal extracts the set value as it determines the position information, the erroneous set value may be applied to the second captured image due to the position recognition error. Therefore, it may be necessary to determine whether it is appropriate to apply a specific set value to the second shot image.

The mobile terminal may compare the second corrected image generated by applying the specific set values requested to be applied with the first corrected image by applying the same set value (S1400). That is, the mobile terminal compares brightness and saturation of the first and second corrected images to check whether or not the second corrected image is generated in the same state as the first corrected image. That is, the mobile terminal can calculate the fitness that is appropriate to apply the same set value as the first correction image to the second captured image (S1500). The mobile terminal can notify the user that it is inappropriate to apply the set value when the calculated fitness exceeds the predetermined range. For this purpose, the mobile terminal may store a first correction image, which is a correction target of the set value storage, as a comparison reference of the set values, together with the first correction image.
