Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method and a user terminal device for searching a moving picture section in a touch-sensitive user interface,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method and a user terminal device for moving-picture section search in a touch-sensitive user interface, and more particularly to a computer-implemented method and a user terminal device for moving- will be.

Due to the temporal continuity of the video contents, in order to check the contents of the video contents, the entire contents of the video must be reproduced in chronological order. However, in a recent multimedia content environment in which a large amount of video content is uploaded every moment, it takes much time to reproduce all the video contents to find a desired video content or to grasp a necessary portion in one video content.

On the other hand, recent user terminal devices typically provide visual information through a small display and receive user input through a touch screen coupled to the display. Therefore, due to the display characteristics of the small screen of the user terminal, the information to be visually provided from the user terminal is limited, and the touch-sensitive user interface is complicated to input a complicated user. there is a problem. Therefore, it is required to provide an intuitive and efficient video segment search interface for a user terminal using a touch-sensitive user interface.

Conventional techniques for providing a user with an approximate content of moving picture contents without reproducing the moving picture contents include a method of constructing and providing still images extracted at a specific point of the moving picture content as thumbnail images of small size There is a bar.

US Patent No. 8,875, 023 " Thumbnail Navigation Bar for Video " of Microsoft Corporation discloses a moving picture section search method through a navigation bar composed of a plurality of thumbnail images 420 as shown in FIG. According to this method, it is possible to confirm images of various parts of the moving image contents through a plurality of thumbnail images 420 and to reproduce the moving image contents from the corresponding section by selecting a thumbnail image.

However, such a conventional technique may be suitable for a PC environment having an existing wide display area, but it is difficult to grasp the contents of the moving picture section through a small thumbnail image 420 in a narrow smartphone display. For example, a 4.7-inch (119 mm) display with an aspect ratio of 16: 9 would have a display width of 58.5 mm and a height of 104 mm in portrait mode, where when playing a 16: 9 landscape- Even if five thumbnail images 420 having a 16: 9 aspect ratio are placed on the navigation bar without spaces, one thumbnail image 420 is 11.7 mm wide by 6.6 mm high, mm. < / RTI > It is very difficult to grasp the content of the moving picture through the thumbnail image 420 having such a small size. Furthermore, since the number of thumbnail images 420 to be displayed is limited, only the thumbnail image 420 of the moving picture section adjacent to the scene currently being reproduced can be grasped, making it difficult to quickly grasp the contents of the entire moving picture content.

In order to solve such a problem, U.S. Patent No. 9,363,579 entitled " Video Player with Assisted Seek " of Google Inc., as shown in Fig. 15, is used to compare a specific thumbnail image 530 among a plurality of thumbnail images with respect to another thumbnail image 520 Disclosed is a moving picture search method through a navigation bar provided in a large size. According to this method, since the thumbnail image 530 of the section adjacent to the current video image being played is provided somewhat larger, it is advantageous to grasp the thumbnail image 530 somewhat. However, since the enlarged thumbnail image 530 must not overshoot the currently playing screen 510, it is difficult to grasp the corresponding thumbnail image 530 on the small screen, and in addition to the other thumbnail images 520 arranged in parallel, There is a problem that they have to be smaller.

As another method of providing a thumbnail image, US Pat. No. 9,354,799, entitled " Systems and Methods for Adaptive Streaming System with Interactive Video Timelines ", by Sonic IP, discloses a method for converting a plurality of thumbnail images 620 into tiles In a content display area. This approach has the advantage of providing a relatively large number of thumbnail images 620 compared to methods of providing a small number of thumbnail images on the timeline. However, since the number of the thumbnail images 620 that can be provided is fixed to nine, for example, three horizontally and three vertically, it is not possible to provide a sufficient number of thumbnail images 620 in the case of long moving image content, There is a problem that it is difficult to grasp the thumbnail image 620 because the size of the thumbnail image 620 becomes smaller as the number of the thumbnail images 620 increases.

US Patent No. 9,047,006 entitled " Electronic Device System with Information Processing Mechanism < RTI ID = 0.0 > thereof < / RTI > thereof by Sony Corporation discloses a method of increasing the playback speed of a moving picture through a sliding operation of a touch point on a touch screen. According to this method, it is possible to move to the desired time point of the moving picture contents through the fast playback which is performed by an intuitive method of sliding the screen in a predetermined direction. However, since this method controls the reproduction speed of the moving picture contents, there is a problem that it is not suitable for the streaming type moving picture contents in which only the moving picture data adjacent to the currently reproduced section is stored in the buffer memory and reproduced. For example, if the time point of a moving picture that has not yet been downloaded is reached through quick playback, it is no longer possible to provide a fast playback and it is difficult to grasp the whole moving picture segment. Further, according to this method, it is difficult for the user to intuitively grasp the playback speed at a certain speed since the screen of the video content is continuously provided. In addition, in the section where similar scenes are continuous, There is a problem that it is difficult to intuitively perceive the progress degree.

Hereinafter, a computer implemented method and a user terminal apparatus 100 for searching a moving picture section in a touch-sensitive user interface according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 illustrates a user terminal device 100 for searching a moving picture section in a touch-sensitive user interface according to the present invention. The user terminal 100 according to the present invention includes a touch screen 110, a processor 120, and a storage module 130. The user terminal device 100 may be a general purpose information processing terminal device such as a smart phone or a tablet PC, an information processing terminal device specialized for a specific function such as a vehicle infotainment device or a video player device for reproducing a multimedia file have.

 The touch screen 110 includes a touch sensing device for a touch sensitive user interface formed on a display. The touch sensing apparatus senses contact of a body including a user's finger or an object such as a stylus pen, and performs a function of sensing a slide operation realized by movement of a contact point in a predetermined direction. Contact to the touch screen in this context includes direct contact to the touch screen 110 surface as well as proximity (hovering) within 10 mm to the touch screen 110 surface. The method of implementing the touch screen 110 is not particularly limited, and may be realized by, for example, a capacitive type or a resistive type using a resistive overlay, or a method using a surface ultrasonic wave or an infrared ray. The touch screen 110 according to the present invention does not include a touch sensitive interface that is not coupled with a display, such as a touch pad or a touch sensitive mouse installed at the bottom of a keyboard of a laptop computer.

The processor 120 may illustrate a central processing unit or a mobile processor and perform computational processing according to an instruction set of an application / program. The processor 120 may be composed of a single processing unit or a plurality of processing units.

The storage module 130 performs a function of storing the moving picture section search application 140 and a function of storing data necessary for the application. The storage module 130 is not particularly limited and may be implemented as a memory device, a magnetic storage medium, an optical storage medium, or the like.

The moving picture section search application 140 can illustrate a moving picture player module that is driven through an application installed on a smart phone or a web browser via download, for example. The video segment search application 140 is comprised of a combination of instructions installed in the memory of the user terminal device 100 and driven by the processor 120 to cause the processor 120 to perform the following steps. The motion picture search application 140 causes the processor 120 to perform the following steps. Hereinafter, each step will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

First, step (S10) of receiving moving picture contents is performed. 1, the communication module 150 may be connected to the media server 200 through a communication network to receive moving picture contents in a streaming or downloading manner, or may be configured to receive moving picture contents in a storage module of the user terminal 100 And loading the moving picture content file stored in the storage unit 130.

Next, a first indexing image (image_indexing_1) to an n-th indexing image (image_indexing_n) (n is an integer of 3 or more) based on the moving image content is associated with timestamp information, which is information on the temporal position in the moving image content The receiving step s20 is performed. The step (s20) of receiving the indexed images may be performed before or after step (s10) of receiving the moving picture content or may be performed simultaneously. At this time, the entire contents of the moving picture contents are configured to receive all the indexed images of the entire section of the moving picture contents.

The indexed images may be extracted from the moving image content based on the moving image content, and may be extracted from an infra frame including a complete moving image information constituting a compressed moving image file, for example, a compressed moving image file such as MPEG.

The extraction interval of the indexing images can be variously implemented according to the embodiment. One indexed image can be extracted at uniform time intervals, such as 2 seconds. Alternatively, extraction intervals can be applied adaptively according to the total reproduction time of the moving picture contents, for example, 500 indexed images or 1000 indexed images are extracted from moving picture contents. For example, in case of moving image contents within 10 minutes, one indexed image is extracted every 2 seconds, 100 indexed images are extracted at regular intervals, one indexed image is extracted every 5 seconds for video contents within 10 minutes to 30 minutes, The indexed images may be extracted at equal intervals, and in the case of 30 or more moving image contents, one indexed image may be extracted every 10 seconds or 400 indexed images may be extracted at regular intervals. In the case of an embodiment in which an infrastructure frame is extracted as an indexing image in the compressed moving picture file described above, the indexing image can be extracted by a method of extracting an infrastructure frame of time closest to the extraction interval.

In the case of the streaming method, the indexing images may be extracted by extracting the indexing images in advance from the uploaded moving image content and providing the indexing images when the user terminal device 100 requests the streaming of the corresponding moving image content In the case of the moving picture contents stored in the storage module 130 of the user terminal 100, the user terminal 100 may extract the moving picture contents when the moving picture contents are stored or when the moving picture contents are requested to be reproduced.

The indexing image can be provided in an image file format. When provided through a communication network, the quality of the image is adaptively applied according to the user's communication environment or the user's selection, thereby reducing the time and data amount required for downloading the indexing images . In addition, when the reproduction of the corresponding moving picture content ends, the user terminal deletes the indexing images from the storage module 130 or stores the indexing image in a volatile memory such as a random access memory (RAM) It is desirable to minimize the storage capacity resource occupation of the user terminal device.

According to an embodiment, the step (s20) of receiving the indexing image may be implemented by providing a list of indexing images and URL information in which the corresponding indexing images are stored, and downloading the indexing image by accessing the corresponding URL when an indexing image is required It is possible.

While each indexed image is associated with timestamp information about the temporal location extracted from the video content. The time stamp information may be configured to be linked with the indexing image identification information, or the indexing image data may be configured to include the time stamping information. On the other hand, it is desirable to visually provide to the user the position of the currently displayed indexing image in the entire moving image. To this end, it is possible to configure time information or a progressive bar in numerical format indicating the temporal position on the video content to be overlaid or embedded in the indexing image.

Next, visually providing a k-th indexed image (image_indexing_k) (where k is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to n) to occupy at least 70% of the moving picture display area 310 of the touch screen 110 s30). The indexing image is preferably provided in the same size as the moving picture display area 310 in which the moving picture contents are displayed, or may be provided in a smaller size. However, if the size of the image is too small as in the case of a conventional thumbnail image, it is difficult to identify the corresponding image in the user terminal device 100 such as a smart phone, so that at least 70% do.

FIG. 2 shows the display state of the user terminal 100 of the landscape-view moving picture content whose horizontal direction is longer than vertical direction. In the landscape display mode in which the user terminal device 100 is in the same direction as the landscape-view moving picture contents, most of the screen can be configured as the moving picture display area 310. However, when the user terminal device 100 is orthogonal to the landscape- In the portrait display mode, which is a direction, only a partial area of the screen is generally composed of the moving picture display area 310.

3 shows the display state of the user terminal 100 of the portrait moving picture content whose vertical direction is longer than the horizontal direction. In the portrait display mode in which the user terminal device 100 is in the same direction as the portrait moving picture contents, most of the screen can be configured as the moving picture display area 310. However, when the user terminal device 100 displays a land In the landscape display mode, only a partial area of the screen can be configured as the moving picture display area 310.

Accordingly, step (s30) of providing a k-th indexed image (image_indexing_k), step (k + 1) of providing indexed images (image_indexing_k + 1) to k + (s43) of providing the k + a indexed image (image_indexing_k + a) or the k + a indexed image (image_indexing_k + a) The user can visually provide the k-th indexed image (image_indexing_k) to the (k + a) indexed image (image_indexing_k + a) so as to occupy 70% or more of the entire display area of the touch screen 110 when the terminal device is in the same portrait display mode .

The kth indexing image (image_indexing_k) may be a first indexing image (image_indexing_1) (for example, moving image content corresponding to the reproduction time 0:00) which is the indexing image of the earliest position in time when the moving image content is reproduced, If the content is being played back, it can be a moving picture being played back or an indexed image corresponding to the moving picture screen or closest in time. Or if the user has already reached a specific indexing image through a first user input (input_user_1) described later.

Next, the length of the first user input (input_user_1) configured through the sliding operation of the contact point in the first direction (the contact point includes direct contact and hovering) input through the touch screen 110, A step (s41, s42, s43) of determining a k + a indexed image (image_indexing_k + a) (a is an integer of 1 or more) trailing to increase a according to any one of pressure, acceleration, do.

Since the progressive direction of the progressive indicator progresses from left to right, the first direction may be substantially rightward horizontally for recognizing the intuitive operation method of the user, and the first user input (input_user_1) Is preferably constituted by a slide operation in the right horizontal direction. However, the first user input (input_user_1) is not limited thereto, and may be a sliding operation in the left horizontal direction, the upper vertical direction, and the lower vertical direction according to the embodiment. It is preferable that the sliding operation accurately recognizes the user's intention rather than the sliding operation in one direction and recognizes the slightly oblique input in comparison with the first direction as the first user input (input_user_1).

The value of a of the k + a indexed image (image_indexing) may be increased as the length of the slide operation increases. In this case, the value of a may be increased according to the input time of the slide operation according to the embodiment. Alternatively, as described in US Patent No. 8,988,384, " Force Sensor Interface for Touch Controller " In the case of the screen 110, the value of a may be increased in accordance with the intensity of the user's touch during the slide operation. Or may be configured to determine a based on the simulated acceleration according to the acceleration of the user's slide motion, as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 7,786,975 to Apple, entitled " Continuous Scrolling List with Acceleration ". Or may be configured such that a is calculated through combinations of length, time, pressure, and acceleration of the slide motion.

Meanwhile, the completion of the first user input (input_user_1) in which the value a is determined can be recognized when the slide operation of the user is completed or when the touch input of the user is terminated. Alternatively, as described in U.S. Patent No. 8,988,384, a simulated virtual acceleration and a set virtual friction force are computed according to the acceleration of the user's slide operation to provide the user with an analog feeling of operation, It may be configured that the first user input (input_user_1) is completed at a predetermined time after completion or at a predetermined time after the physical slide operation is completed.

(K + 1) -th indexed image (image_indexing_k + 1) to (k + a-1) th images so as to occupy at least 70% or more of the moving picture display area 310 of the touch screen 110 during the input of the first user input The indexing image (image_indexing_k + a-1) is visually provided to the moving picture display area 310 of the touch screen 110 according to the completion of the first user input (input_user_1) A < / RTI > indexed image (image_indexing_k + a) so as to occupy at least 70% or more of the indexed image (s43).

In other words, a plurality of indexed images are sequentially provided through an image conversion effect as if a book is turned over according to a slide operation of a user. This allows the user to intuitively recognize how quickly the indexed images have moved and how much they have moved since the number of indexed images that are passed along to the user's slide input is determined. In addition, the user can quickly pass many sections through the continuous slide operation, and conversely, by slowing down the slide operation, the user can carefully examine the important sections.

Figure 5 shows an embodiment of an image transition effect. (K + 1) -th indexing image 322 (image_indexing_k + 1) to the (k + 2) -th indexing image 322 The image switching effect can be implemented so that the (k + 2) -th index image 321 (image_indexing_k + 1) is slid to the left and the k + 2 indexed image 322 (image_indexing_k + 2) is gradually enlarged. The image conversion effect is not limited to the embodiment of FIG. 5 but may be configured in various ways. For example, the image switching effect may be implemented by arranging a black screen in the middle, or by giving an animation effect that passes over a bookcase.

The image conversion effect may be applied from the k + 1 indexed image (image_indexing_k + 1) to the k + a-1 indexed image (image_indexing_k + a-1), but the present invention is not limited thereto. image_indexing_k) to the (k + a) indexing image (image_indexing_k + a).

Preferably, the simulated acceleration and the frictional force are applied according to the acceleration of the slide motion of the user, so that the conversion speed can be reduced while the image_indexing is switched at a high speed in the early stage where the slide operation is strongly input.

Figure 4 illustrates the switching of the indexed image according to the first user input (input_user_1). For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when a first user input (input_user_1) composed of a slide input 331 in the right direction in a k-th indexing image 340 (image_indexing_k) corresponding to a progress time 2:00 is inputted, A k + 1 indexed image 341 (image_indexing_k + 1) corresponding to a progressing time 2:05, which is an indexing image, a k + 2 indexed image 342 corresponding to a progressing time 2:10, 2) can be sequentially displayed through a screen switching effect.

In order to intuitively recognize that the indexing images can be switched, it is preferable to display the graphical effect in which a plurality of images are stacked, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, on the outer part of the indexing image. For example, it is preferable to give a laminated image effect when the first user input (input_user_1) is input during reproduction of the moving image content, before the moving image content is reproduced, when the moving image content is temporarily stopped,

Finally, a k + a indexed image (image_indexing_k + a) is generated according to a second user input (input_user_2) selecting the k + a indexed image (image_indexing_k + a) input through the touch screen 110 The video content is reproduced from the point corresponding to the associated time stamp information (s45). The second user input (input_user_2) may be configured to touch and select the k + a indexed image (image_indexing_k + a).

Through the above-described operation, the user can quickly move the indexing images of a size similar to the moving image area to the moving image display area 310 on the touch screen 110 in a predetermined direction, Can be quickly identified. In addition, since the section can be selectively reproduced from the searched section, user convenience can be improved.

On the other hand, in a conventional photo display application installed in a smart phone, since there is little similarity between photographs, a user interface is generally used in which a plurality of pictures are moved one by one according to a slide operation of a user. However, the indexing image based on the moving image content of the present invention is very similar to the indexing images due to its characteristics. Accordingly, if one slide is formed on one slide, a lot of slide operations are required to grasp the contents of the entire moving image contents, and the user's convenience is poor. On the other hand, according to the present invention, It is effective not only for recognizing the user's video content scene but also for improving the user's convenience.

11 to 13 illustrate a source code implementation example of a moving picture section search application according to an embodiment of the present invention. The source code shown in Figs. 11 to 13 is an embodiment based on the Android OS, and Fig. 11 shows an example of a source code that defines a screen UI in which an indexing image is provided. 12 illustrates a source code implementation that defines a scrolling operation between indexed images according to a first user input (input_user_l) comprised of a sliding operation on an indexed image. Figure 13 illustrates a source code implementation for downloading an indexed image over a URL connection where indexed images are stored.

Meanwhile, according to the embodiment, the indexing image can be configured to be switched in the reverse direction of the moving order of the moving image. It is desirable to be able to perform a backward indexed image search in the case where the user desires to scan the forward indexed image or if the user desires to view the already reproduced section again. To this end, the moving picture interval search application 140 may be configured such that the processor 120 performs the following steps.

First, after a step (s30) of providing a k-th indexed image (image_indexing_k), a third user input (hereinafter referred to as a " first input ") composed of a sliding operation of a contact point in a second direction different from the first direction input through the touch screen (b is an integer equal to or greater than 1) that precedes the increase of b in accordance with any one of the length, pressure, acceleration, or combinations thereof of the first user input (input_user_3) 1 indexed images (image_indexing_k-1) through k-b + 1 indexed images (image_indexing_k-1) to occupy at least 70% or more of the moving picture display area 310 of the touch screen 110 during the input operation b + 1) of the moving picture display area 310 of the touch screen 110 according to the completion of the third user input (input_user_3) Point So as to be visually provided with a first k-b indexed images (b-image_indexing_k) (s53).

Since the progressive direction of the progressive indicator progresses from left to right, the second direction for the reverse direction conversion may be substantially leftward horizontal direction in order to recognize the intuitive operation method of the user. At this time, the third user input (input_user_3) is preferably configured as a slide operation in the right horizontal direction. However, the third user input (input_user_3) is not limited thereto, and may be a slide operation in the right horizontal direction, the upper vertical direction, and the lower vertical direction according to the embodiment. It is preferable that the sliding operation accurately recognizes the intention of the user rather than the sliding operation in one direction and recognizes the slightly oblique input in comparison with the third direction as the third user input (input_user_3).

Figure 6 shows the switching of the indexing image (image_indexing) according to the third user input (input_user_3). For example, if a third user input (input_user_3) composed of a slide input 333 in the left direction is input from the k-th index image 340 (image_indexing_k) corresponding to the progress time 2:00 as shown in FIG. 6, A k-1 indexed image 343 (image_indexing_k-1) corresponding to a progress time 1:55 which is an indexing image, a k-2 indexed image 344 corresponding to a progress time 1:50, which is an indexing image (image_indexing) , image_indexing_k-2) may be sequentially displayed through a screen switching effect.

A configuration for visually providing a k-1 indexed image (image_indexing_k-1) to a k-b + 1 indexed image (image_indexing_k-b + 1), a configuration for determining a b value according to another third user input (input_user_3) , And a configuration for providing a KB indexed image (image_indexing_k-b) are the same as those for providing the indexed images according to the first user input (input_user_1) described above, so repeated description will be omitted.

Next, in accordance with a fourth user input (input_user_4) for selecting a kb indexed image (image_indexing_k-b) inputted through the touch screen 110, s54 is added to the timestamp information associated with the kb indexed image (image_indexing_k-b) (Step S55).

On the other hand, in order to prevent an important scene from being missed when the user searches the indexed images at a high speed, if there is an indexed image set as the representative image during the search of the indexed image, the switching of the indexed image is stopped, .

For this, referring to FIG. 10, the moving picture section search application 140 may configure the processor 120 to perform the following steps.

First, m number of interval representative images (m is an integer equal to or greater than 1 and equal to or less than n) that are not consecutive among the first indexing image (image_indexing_1) to the nth indexing image (image_indexing_n) are selected after the step (s20) Step s22 is performed.

The section representative image may be selected as a single indexing image or a plurality of indexing images. However, if too many section representative images are selected, it is desirable to select an appropriate number of section representative images since the search of the index image of the user may be interrupted too often and interfered. For example, in the case of a movie content of 1 hour and 30 minutes or more recorded in an optical storage medium such as a DVD or a Blu-ray disc, the movie content is divided into 10 to 20 sections and skip forward is distinguished from fast forward ), The interval representative images of the present invention can be selected at similar intervals.

In addition, it is desirable that the number of section representative images be adaptively configured according to the total reproduction time of the moving picture contents, thereby improving the user's convenience. For example, in the case of the moving picture contents within 5 minutes, the number of contents within 5 hours and the time period of 1 hour or more can be 20 or less.

 The section representative image can be selected by various criteria. For example, it may be a representative image of a corresponding moving image set by a video uploading user or another video viewing user, may be an indexing image sampled at a time interval longer than a time interval between indexing images, An indexing image of a point recognized as a transition or an indexing image closest in time to a point recognized as a scene change. According to embodiments, other relevant images inserted in the middle of the indexing images may be provided in a manner similar to the interval representative image, rather than the selected interval representative images of the indexing images, for ad serving or information presentation.

Next, after step (s30) of providing the kth indexed image (image_indexing_k), (k + a) indexed image (image_indexing_k + a (S51) so as to occupy at least 70% or more of the moving picture display area 310 of the touch screen 110 during the input of the first user input (input_user_1) (S52) by providing an indexing image (image_indexing) immediately before the segment representative image from the image (image_indexing_k + 1) to the touch screen 110 (Step s53) visually providing the section representative image so as to occupy at least 70% or more of the moving picture display area 310 of the moving picture display area 310. [

For example, if a is set to 15 by the first user input (input_user_1) in the kth indexed image (image_indexing_k) and the k + 12 indexed image (image_indexing_k_14) ) Are sequentially provided up to the (k + 11) th index image (image_indexing_k + 11) and not sequentially provided to the k + 11 indexing image (image_indexing_k + 11) And an indexing image (image_indexing_k + 12) is provided (s53). If the user is not interested in the section representative image, the user can proceed to the next indexed image by inputting the first user input (input_user_1) through the touch screen 110 again.

Next, the step of reproducing the moving picture content from the point corresponding to the time stamp information associated with the section representative image is performed according to the fifth user input (input_user_5) for selecting the section representative image input through the touch screen 110. [

The skip forward function of the apparatus for providing moving picture contents through an optical storage medium such as a DVD or a Blu-ray disc in which the above-described conventional moving picture contents are recorded has an efficient interface for quickly accessing each section of a long- to be. In the present invention, a similar interface can be implemented in the touch-sensitive user interface.

Hereinafter, an embodiment will be described in which a trailing period representative image (image_section_subsequent) is provided according to a sixth user input (input_user_6). To this end, the moving picture interval search application 140 may be configured such that the processor 120 performs the following functions.

First, after step (s20) of receiving the indexed image, m interval representative images (m is an integer of 1 or more and less than or equal to n) that are not contiguous among the first indexed image (image_indexing_1) to the nth indexed image (image_indexing_n) (Step S22). The method of selecting the section representative image is the same as that of the above-described embodiment, so repeated description will be omitted.

Next, after the step (s30) of providing the k-th indexed image (image_indexing_k), a sixth user input consisting of a sliding operation of a contact point in a third direction different from the first direction input through the touch screen 110 (S61) a step of selecting a trailing following section representative image (image_section_subsequent) closest to the kth indexed image (image_indexing_k).

For example, a k-60 indexed image (image_indexing_k-60), a k-th 30 indexed image (image_indexing_k-30), a k + 30 indexed image (image_indexing_k + 30) When the sixth user input (input_user_6) is inputted (s61), the (k + 30) th index image (image_indexing_k + 30) which is the nearest neighbor image to the kth indexed image_indexing_k And is selected as a subsequent section representative image (image_section_subsequent).

Next, the step of occupying at least 70% or more of the display area of the touch screen 110 and visually providing the selected trailing period representative image (image_section_subsequent) by replacing the k-th indexed image (image_indexing_k) is performed (s62) . That is, in the above-described case, the k-th indexed image (image_indexing_k) directly goes to the (k + 30) th indexed image (image_indexing_k + 30)

FIG. 7 illustrates provision of a following section image_section_subsequent to the sixth user input (input_user_6). For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when a sixth user input (input_user_6) composed of a downward slide input 336 in the kth indexed image 340 (image_indexing_k) corresponding to the progress time 2:00 is inputted (s61) (S62) so that the following section image (345, image_section_subsequent) corresponding to the progress time 3:00, which is the indexing image after 60 seconds, is displayed.

 Similar to providing the k + 1 indexed image (image_indexing_k + 1) through the (k + a-1) th indexed image (image_indexing_k + a-1) through the image conversion effect according to the first user input (input_user_1) It is preferable to apply the image switching effect when switching from the k-th indexed image (image_indexing_k) to the trailing segment representative image (image_section_subsequent) according to the user input (input_user_6).

It is also possible to provide a plurality of trailing (or trailing) images according to any one of the length, time, pressure, acceleration or combinations thereof of the sixth user input (input_user_6) similar to providing an indexing image (image_indexing) Image_section_subsequent images may be sequentially provided.

Lastly, according to a seventh user input (input_user_7) for selecting a trailing period representative image (image_section_subsequent) input through the touch screen 110, a point corresponding to the time stamp information associated with the trailing period representative image (image_section_subsequent) (Step s64) of reproducing the moving image content from step S64.

Hereinafter, an embodiment for providing a leading section representative image (image_section_precedent) according to the eighth user input (input_user_8) will be described. To this end, the moving picture interval search application 140 may be configured such that the processor 120 performs the following functions. To this end, the moving picture interval search application 140 may be configured such that the processor 120 performs the following functions.

(S30) after providing the k-th indexed image (image_indexing_k), the sliding operation of the contact point in the fourth direction different from the first direction inputted through the touch screen 110 and the third direction According to the input (s71), the step of selecting the preceding leading section representative image (image_section_precedent) closest to the kth indexed image (image_indexing_k) is performed.

For example, a k-60 indexed image (image_indexing_k-60), a k-th 30 indexed image (image_indexing_k-30), a k + 30 indexed image (image_indexing_k + 30) When the eighth user input (input_user_8) is inputted (s71), the k-th indexed image (image_indexing_k-30) which is the preceding section representative image (image_section_precedent) closest to the kth indexed image (image_indexing_k) And is selected as a subsequent section representative image (image_section_subsequent).

Next, a step of occupying at least 70% or more of the display area of the touch screen 110 and visually providing a selected leading section representative image (image_section_precedent) by replacing the k-th indexed image (image_indexing_k) is performed (s72) .

8 shows the provision of a following section image_section_subsequent to the eighth user input (input_user_8). For example, if an eighth user input (input_user_8) composed of a slide input 338 in the upward direction in the kth indexed image 340 (image_indexing_k) corresponding to the progress time 2:00 is input as shown in FIG. 8 (s71) (S72) so that the leading section representative image 346 (image_section_precedent) corresponding to the progress time 1:00, which is the indexing image 60 seconds before, is displayed.

 Similar to providing the k + 1 indexed image (image_indexing_k + 1) through the (k + a-1) th indexed image (image_indexing_k + a-1) through the image conversion effect according to the first user input (input_user_1) It is preferable to apply the image switching effect when switching from the k-th indexed image (image_indexing_k) to the leading section representative image (image_section_precedent) according to the user input (input_user_8).

It is also possible to provide a plurality of pre-processes according to any one of the length, time, pressure, acceleration or combinations thereof of the eighth user input (input_user_8), similar to providing an indexing image (image_indexing) It is possible to configure to sequentially provide segment representative images (image_section_precedent).

Lastly, according to a ninth user input (input_user_9) for selecting a leading section representative image (image_section_precedent) inputted through the touch screen 110, a point corresponding to the time stamp information associated with the leading section representative image (image_section_precedent) (Step s74).

Each of the steps performed by the processor 120 by the moving picture search application 140 described above can be implemented in the same manner as the steps of the computer-implemented method for moving picture section search in the touch-sensitive user interface according to the present invention . Or a downloadable program in the form of a computer-readable storage medium storing the moving picture section search application 140 configured to perform the steps described above by the processor 120.
