Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method of providing a curation service using market principles and a curation service apparatus for providing the same,

The present invention relates to a curation service method using a market principle and a curation service apparatus for providing the same, and more particularly to a curation service method using a market principle to control content diffusion according to payment of a virtual money of a content provider, A method of providing a curation service so that a virtual money can be concentrated on a content that creates a high demand of users by combining competitiveness and value among a large number of content distributed by a content provider and a curation service apparatus for implementing the method will be.

With the development of ICT technology, various contents are flooding in the Internet space. In particular, since the spread of portable communication terminals such as smart phones is increasing and social media is activated, anyone can create contents anytime and anywhere. New content is being supplied continuously in the water.

As the amount of content is continuously increasing, users are finding it difficult to find the data they want. Therefore, as the acquisition and sharing of more valuable information becomes more important, I'm getting started. Curation refers to a service that collects, edits, and provides vast amounts of online content classified or selected according to its purpose.

In the case of existing curation services, contents are selected using only quantitative data such as the number of contents, the frequency of query words, the number of comments, and the frequency of sharing. Selection of contents based on the frequency does not reflect the quality of the contents themselves There is a limit. This is because if the number of international lectures or the ratio of foreign language professors is high, the internationalization ranking of the university will be high, even though the level of the international language lecture or the level of the foreign language ability of the students is low. It is like a problem that can not be done.

In the case of filtering contents according to such a metric standard, there is a limitation such as manipulation using bots or use of content irrelevant to contents with a focus on specific criteria as a bait. For example, If a curation service is centered on a keyword, even if it is irrelevant, it can be curled and exposed to a user simply by repeatedly listing the words associated with the A category.

Particularly, when contents are selected only based on external quantitative data, there is a problem that the content provider can easily manipulate the quantitative data of the contents. Further, since it does not reflect the actual value of the contents, Can be released as undelivered, and conversely, low-quality content may be widely distributed based on quantitative data.

The various problems described above may degrade the satisfaction of the users who use the content, and may eventually expand the factor of distrusting the curation service.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems of the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to solve the problem that the quality of the content itself is not reflected by the curation service based on the quantitative data.

The account is a kind of repository that can store its own virtual money for each member similar to a bank account. The member account management unit 133 can create an account in association with the individual identification information on the member of the member information DB 170. [

The virtual currency payment unit 135 performs a function of moving the virtual money between accounts. For example, when the user of the content grants compensation for the content consumed by the user, the virtual money payment unit 135 calculates When the virtual money is withdrawn from the account of the user and the virtual money is deposited into the account of the provider who provided the content and the provider intends to further expand the diffusion scale for the content, The expense due to the expansion of the scale can be withdrawn from the account of the supplier.

The virtual currency converter 137 evaluates the converted value between different types of virtual currencies and converts the different virtual currencies accordingly. This is a similar function to a kind of currency exchange. For example, if a bit coin is stored as a virtual currency in an account of a specific member, and the other member pays the point, the virtual currency converter 137 converts It evaluates the converted value between the bit coin and the point and converts the bit coin to the point accordingly. For this purpose, the conversion ratio between various kinds of virtual currencies can be set.

The culling service apparatuses described above can be constituted as separate devices selectively according to their needs. Further, the culling service apparatuses are implemented as a kind of server, so that each configuration of the culling service apparatuses discussed above is implemented as a function As shown in FIG.

The content inquiry unit 230 can confirm the information about the registered content of the member who is the supplier. For example, the content inquiry unit 230 may check the content registered by the registered content. In addition, a user who is a user may support a function of searching for contents desired by the user.

The virtual currency trading unit 250 provides a function for the member to withdraw the virtual money stored in his or her account, to support the compensation payment function according to the consumption of the content, and to convert the virtual currency into another virtual currency.

The content diffusion requesting unit 270 supports the function of the supplier member to adjust the diffusion scale of the content on the culling service apparatus 100.

The member terminal may be implemented in such a manner that a kind of application supporting the use of the curation service according to the present invention is installed in the communication terminal which is generally supplied, and the basic configurations in the communication terminal are operated.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to concentrate the virtual money on the provider of the contents having the competitiveness and value by adjusting the scale of the contents through the curation service system centered on the curation service device, It is possible to expand the spread range for own contents by paying the virtual money.

The present invention proposes a method of providing a curation service using market principles through the curation service system as described above. Hereinafter, a method of providing a curation service using market principles according to the present invention will be described with reference to the embodiments. do.

FIG. 6 shows a schematic flow chart of an embodiment of a method of providing a curation service using market principles according to the present invention.

First, the provider registers content to the curation service apparatus 100 through its member terminal (S110). At this time, the content itself can be uploaded to the content DB 150 of the curation service apparatus 100, It is possible to register the location information in which the content is stored in the content server in the curation service apparatus 100.

When the content to be cued is registered, the culling service apparatus 100 sets a diffusion scale for the content (S130). At the time of registering the initial content, the default diffusion scale is set as a default range. Here, the diffusion scale can be the exposure range of the content and the frequency of exposure.

Then, the curation service apparatus 100 exposes the content to the user according to the set diffusion scale (S150). In effect, the curation service apparatus 100 can display the content on the Internet, which is accessible to users who may be interested in the content Expose the content. At this time, based on the spread scale, the content is repeatedly exposed at a frequency set in a place on the Internet corresponding to the exposure range.

The content to be exposed may be the entire content, but preferably only a part of the content title, body summary, thumbnail, etc. may be exposed in preview mode.

When the user selects and uses the content according to the diffusion of the content (S210) and then compensates the content according to the consumption of the content (S230), the curation service device (100) At this time, a compensation value set in advance for the compensation value or content voluntarily selected by the user is checked, and the virtual currency corresponding to the compensation value is withdrawn from the user's account.

Then, the curation service apparatus 100 provides the compensation paid by the user to the supplier (S250), and providing the compensation to the supplier can be made by depositing the virtual money corresponding to the compensation value provided by the user into the account of the provider .

Further, the contents provider can further expand the scale of the contents by using the virtual currency held in the account of the user. The provider requests the additional spread scale of contents to the curation service apparatus 100 through his / her member terminal S310), the curation service apparatus 100 presents a cost corresponding to the request of the additional spreading scale, and when the supplier approves the payment of the fee (S320), the curation service apparatus 100 reads the cost The virtual currency corresponding to the virtual currency is fetched.

When the payment for the diffusion scale is completed, the curation service apparatus 100 enlarges and resets the diffusion scale for the content (S130), and performs a series of processes according to the reset diffusion scale, The content is exposed.

A method of providing a curation service using market principles according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to a flowchart of an implementation of FIG.

In order for the curation service according to the present invention to function substantially smoothly, it is necessary for the member to acquire the virtual money. The virtual money may be purchased by the member by paying the actual money or may be paid .

For example, in FIG. 7, the supplier or the user performs various content related activities (S10a, S10b) through the member terminals 200a and 200b. When the member performs the content related activity, the curation service apparatus 100 The virtual money is paid (S30a, S30b), and the paid virtual money is stored in the member's account (S50).

FIG. 8 illustrates an example in which a virtual currency is paid according to a content-related activity of a member in a curation service providing method using market principles according to the present invention.

When a member performs basic activities related to contents such as joining, logging in, recommending another person, inviting others, and related applications through a member terminal 200 owned by the member, It may be paid to the member. In addition, if a member performs production activities related to content dissemination, such as creating content, commenting on content, or sharing information related to the content, the compensation for the performance of the production activity may be paid to the corresponding member. Even when performing an extraordinary activity related to the contents, such as participating in an event related to the contents, the compensation for performing the special activity may be paid to the member as a virtual currency.

In accordance with the various contents-related activities of the member, the curation service apparatus 100 confirms the account information of the member and the member who performed the content-related activity through the member information DB 170. [

The virtual money is generated by the virtual money generation unit 131 of the curation service apparatus 100 and the virtual money is paid by the virtual money payment unit 135 by checking the price set for each content related activity, The management unit 133 searches the account of the member and deposits the virtual currency according to the price of the basic activity in the account of the member.

As described above, in the present invention, virtual money is paid as a reward to members who perform content-related activities so that more competitive and valuable contents can be diffused more easily. Through the promotion of such content activities, And to encourage active participation in activities for

7, and the process thereafter will be further described.

When the contents provider generates the contents (S111) and registers the contents to the curation service apparatus 100 (S115) through the member terminal 200a, the curation service apparatus 100 sets the diffusion scale for the registered contents (S135). As described above, the diffusion size of the initially registered content can be set to the basic diffusion scale.

Then, the curation service apparatus 100 exposes the content according to the set diffusion scale (S155). The curation service apparatus 100 can generate a preview of the content to be diffused and expose a preview of the content.

After the user consumes the content by selecting and using the content desired by the user through the member terminal 200b in accordance with the diffusion of the content (S215), the user performs the voluntary compensation or the compensation for the consumption of the content When the compensation is paid (S231), the curation service apparatus 100 confirms the compensation value selected by the user or the compensation value set for the content, and fetches the virtual currency corresponding to the compensation value from the user's account (S531) .

If the type of the virtual money of the user is different from the type of the virtual currency used by the supplier, the curation service apparatus 100 may provide the compensation of the user to the heterogeneous The virtual currency type is confirmed and the converted value of the virtual currency corresponding to the compensation value is determined from the provider's account to the available virtual currency, and the virtual currency corresponding to the compensation value based on the converted value is used in the provider's account (S235).

The virtual money corresponding to the compensation to be paid by the curation service device 100 is deposited into the account of the supplier and stored (S225).

An example in which the virtual money is paid to the provider according to the content consumption of the user in the curation service providing method using the market principle according to the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to FIG.

When the user selects and uses the content through the member terminal 200 and wants to pay compensation for the consumption of the content, the curation service apparatus 100 transmits the content to the user who consumes the content through the member information DB 170 Confirms the account information, and confirms the account information of the supplier and the supplier who provided the content.

At this time, the user may voluntarily pay compensation for the consumption of the content according to the consumption of the content, or the compensation for the consumption may be specified for the content itself, so that the user may be automatically compensated for the consumption of the content.

The virtual currency payment unit 135 of the curation service apparatus 100 fetches the virtual currency corresponding to the compensation from the user's account through the member account management unit 133 in accordance with the compensation payment of the user, 135 transfers the virtual money corresponding to the user's compensation to the account of the supplier through the member account management unit 133. [ If the type of the virtual currency withdrawn from the user's account differs from the type of the available virtual currency in the provider's account, the virtual currency converter 137 evaluates the converted value of the heterogeneous virtual currency in consideration of the conversion ratio, Accordingly, it is possible to transfer the virtual currency into the account of the supplier by converting the different virtual currency.

Referring back to FIG. 7, the following process will be continued.

When the virtual money is collected in the provider's account as a reward for the content of the provider, the provider can further expand the spread scale of the content using the virtual money. To this end, When the expansion service apparatus 100 requests expansion of the diffusion scale of the contents (S315), the curation service apparatus 100 presents the expense according to the expanded diffusion scale, and the supplier approves the payment of the expense due to the adjustment of the expansion scale (S325).

When the cost of the diffusion scale is paid, the curation service apparatus 100 sets an additional diffusion scale for the contents according to the diffusion scale requested by the supplier (S331), and extracts the virtual money corresponding to the corresponding cost from the supplier's account (S335).

When the re-establishment of the spread scale and the payment of the expenditure are completed, the curation service apparatus 100 exposes the corresponding content according to the reset additional spread scale (S355). As the spreading scale is expanded, the content is repeatedly exposed to a larger number of users, so that more users consume the content, and the compensation can be provided to the provider.

In other words, the higher the value of the content, the greater the expectation that the supplier will be able to earn more virtual money, and the greater the amount of compensation paid to the supplier for the content, the more opportunities for further spread.

Furthermore, even if the spreading scale is extended, the content of the user is not consumed in the case of the low-value content or the long-lived content, so that the supplier can not acquire sufficient income of the virtual money accordingly. .

That is, since the degree of diffusing differs according to the value of the content and the corresponding compensation is different, the effect of the curation service that can extract valuable content among a large number of contents can be achieved.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to control the diffusion scale of contents, and to provide content that creates high demand of users by combining competitiveness and value among a large number of contents distributed by a plurality of content providers due to market principles It is possible to provide a curation service so that virtual money can be concentrated.

Especially, by adjusting the diffusion scale so that high-quality contents can be exposed more frequently in a wider exposure range than other contents, the content provider can receive intensive compensation of the virtual money accordingly, The contents can be accessed.

The foregoing description is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and various changes and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention but to limit the scope of the present invention.
