Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a cloud-based interactive smart content creation system,

The present invention relates to a cloud-based interactive smart content production system, and more particularly, to a content creation system in which a user can easily edit a content source using a drag and drop method, And a technique for enabling smart contents unique to other users to be produced.

Contents such as novels, professional books, and comics are generally provided in the form of booklets. However, thanks to the development of electronic technology, novels and professional books as well as cartoon contents are being offered in a form that can be appreciated in electronic devices such as computers or smart phones. Such contents that are provided in a form that can be read or listened to by electronic apparatuses are called electronic books or electronic books.

Meanwhile, the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) has instituted an electronic publication (EPUB) as an open, free e-book standard to enable readers to read novels, professional books, and comic content on electronic devices. EPUB is designed to be automatically reflowable so that it can be automatically optimized to match the format and size of the display machine when viewing EPUB content.

Current e-book content delivery methods are such that novels, professional books, and comic book contents e-books simply show contents contained in e-books. That is, a picture input from an e-book such as a content or a picture including a picture such as a cartoon content is displayed on the display of the electronic device as it is, and only the expression medium is changed from the paper to the LCD screen.

In this way, not only e-book contents, but also contents such as moving pictures outputted or reproduced from electronic devices are provided in the form of images produced by artists or professional companies.

On the other hand, one of the major phenomena that is present in the Internet and the spread of the Web 2.0 is that consumers are not only staying as consumers of content but directly participating in content production, Is creating a new form of culture.

However, the content generated by the general user is a fragmentary content such as a moving image, a photograph, and a text. However, there is an inconvenience that a complex process is required to generate such a fragmented content. This is because there is not enough content creation environment or contents authoring tool that ordinary users can easily produce contents.

Therefore, it is an urgent need for a system in which a general user can easily produce a moving picture, photo text, and the like.

A prior art related to the present invention is Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2016-0020335 (published on Feb. 23, 2016).

A cloud-based platform that enables users to easily edit content sources by dragging and dropping the authoring tools provided in the cloud, and creating smart content that is unique to the original content source An interactive smart contents production system is proposed.

The solution of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned solutions, and other solutions not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.

A cloud-based interactive smart content production system according to an aspect of the present invention provides a content creation engine that enables a user to create a content source by a drag or drop method on a web-based basis A content creation engine unit; And a content distribution unit for displaying the new content on-line for distribution of new content produced through the content production engine.

The content creation engine unit may provide the content creation engine to each terminal of other users other than the user terminal on a web basis so that the new content can be created through collaboration between the user and other users .

The new content may be managed in an extensible markup language (XML) format.

According to the cloud-based interactive smart content creation system according to the embodiment of the present invention, a content source can be easily edited by a user using a content creation engine provided on a cloud basis, To create one smart content.

The scene control unit 120 includes a scene branch, a scene control, a scene group control, and a scene property.

Scene branch is able to process Scene Jump or Scene branch processing quickly and quickly in current procedural scene processing, and it implements Scene Jump function by judging variable in specific scene, I will.

Scene Control is a method of arranging each component and events sequentially in order to play the multimedia webtoon, so that the method applied to the production of one sequential scene can be used to create animations in time mode, It provides a powerful function for the structure. At this time, in order to control the control method of the scenes in detail, it is necessary to use a script language and a screen editing function is provided by combining a scripting program of a certain function.

These scene controls have Scene Insert / Delete, Scene Duplicate, and Scene Jump functions.

Scene Insert / Delete is a function that divides the XML format and functions for scenes into controls that can interact with the basic controls, and displays, inserts, and deletes content using XML format.

Scene Duplicate creates a new scene by controlling the input of the WPF control of the newly inserted scene in the input module, copies the current scene to edit the consecutive scene, arranges new scene, .

Scene Jump is a function that allows the scene to be freely moved and branched by the conditions of the edited scene attribute objects and the interactive user input, and enables the overall management and modification of each scene.

Scene Group Control is a function that makes it easy to author multimedia webtoons that are intended to be expressed using a webtoon source for creating a scene to be edited using a WYSIWYG-based interface. In addition, XML data can be used to represent the same webtoon in various smart devices, smart phones, tablet PCs, and PCs regardless of operating system.

Scene Group Control includes Range Select, Range Copy / Paste / Cut, Range Delete, and Open Range From File.

Range Select is a function that allows you to specify a specific area of the Webtoon source and set and specify its edit range and boundary.

Range Copy / Paste / Cut is an editing function for copying, pasting, and cutting specific areas of the WebToon being edited.

Range Delete is a function that deletes a specific part of the selection, allowing you to set and delete a specific part of the scene to suit your needs, and to insert and rearrange new objects or content.
