The upload terminal 10 may be a mobile communication terminal under the control of a web / mobile site or a dedicated application related to a content sharing method such as a personal computer, notebook, smart phone, tablet, Service screen configuration, data input, data transmission / reception, data storage, and the like. The upload terminal 10 can take a picture or a moving picture through a built-in or connected camera, and upload the taken contents to the contents sharing server 30 via the Internet 20.

The Internet 20 may exemplify various communication methods for connecting the upload terminal 10 and the content sharing server 30 online and transmitting data.

The content sharing server 30 may be a computer system. The content sharing server 30 may include a processor. The processor may process an operation required to perform a content sharing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The control unit 32 and the evaluation information collection unit 33, which will be referred to as configurations included in the content sharing server 30 to be performed, can be a part of the processor of the content sharing server 30 and can be a module, Unit.

The content sharing server 30 can provide a site configured under the control of a web / mobile site or a dedicated application so that the inquiry terminal 40 can inquire the shared content.

The inquiry terminal 40 may refer to a terminal capable of inquiring the shared content provided by the content sharing server 30. [ The inquiry terminal 40 can be connected to the Internet 20 and can access a web site under the control of a web / mobile site or a dedicated application provided by the content sharing server 30, Various electronic apparatuses can be exemplified.

Here, the fact that the shared content is shared by the content sharing server means that the processed shared content is uploaded to the server and can be inquired by the inquiry terminal 40. [ More specifically, the shared contents provided by the contents sharing server 30 are stored in a shared state so that all the inquiry terminals 40 capable of accessing the pages provided in the web / mobile page or the dedicated application of the server 30 can inquire Or may be shared state so that only some inquiry terminals 40 designated by the upload terminal 10 or the content sharing server 30 can inquire. The content sharing server 30 may store the uploaded images by the upload terminal 10, the shooting information about the pictures, the shared content generated by using the photographs and the shooting information in the database.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a content sharing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the content sharing method includes an upload step S10, a shared content creation step S11, and a sharing step S12. The sharing step S12 includes an evaluation information collection step S13, Step S14.

The uploading step S10 may be a step of uploading photographs taken by the upload terminal 10 and photographing information about the photographs from the upload terminal 10. [

Here, the photograph may be a camera built in the upload terminal 10 or an image file that is installed outside the upload terminal 10 and is photographed and generated by a camera connected to the upload terminal 10 online or offline.

The user of the upload terminal 10 can take a picture for transferring information through the upload terminal 10. [ For example, a user may want to take a picture of a person who has a long line for entry in front of a store, so that it may take some time for the store to enter the store, You may want to take a picture and tell it. As another example, there may be a notice informing that the garbage disposal time of the apartment has changed, information on a menu of a restaurant, and notification information of an event of a specific brand.

That is, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the user of the user terminal 10 instantly takes the information of the content that is provided only offline or can not be delivered online, .

The shooting information may be information input by a user of the upload terminal 10 or extracted from a photograph. More specifically, the shooting information may be information on at least one of a place and a time when the upload terminal 10 has taken a photograph. Such shooting information can be used when generating the following shared contents.

More specifically, the photographing information is input by a user of the upload terminal 10 directly to a location where the photograph was taken, or by a location confirmation system such as GPS (Global Positioning System) which can confirm the location information of the upload terminal 10 . ≪ / RTI >

The photographing information may be input by the user of the upload terminal 10 or extracted from the photo file as information on the time of photographing the photograph.

The shared content creation step S11 may be a step of creating the shared content in association with the data provided by the content sharing server 30 in correspondence with the photograph and photographing information.

After the uploading step S10, the shared content is the content that is generated in association with the data provided from the web / mobile site or the dedicated application of the content sharing server 30 in response to the photograph and photographing information have.

That is, the shared content may be generated by the user of the upload terminal 10 among the menus or lists presented in the web / mobile site or the dedicated application, or may be generated corresponding to the separately input data.

Here, generating the shared content in connection with the data provided by the content sharing server 30 can be understood to be that the user of the upload terminal 10 generates the shared content using the corresponding data.

In more detail, the shared content may be created in the upload terminal 10 in correspondence with a selected one of a plurality of selection objects presented in relation to an object to be photographed.

The object to be photographed by the upload terminal 10 may be a variety of names such as a business name, a building name, a personal name, and a place name. For example, if a user uploads a photo to share information about a business having a specific name, the subject of photographing may be the business name of that company. Also, in the case of sharing information related to a performance or an event of a specific person, the object to be photographed may be the person's name. In addition to this, photographing targets may be various names for distinguishing from other locations such as a building name or a place name.

In the shared content creation step S11, the user of the upload terminal 10 may directly input an object to be photographed in order to clarify the object of the photograph.

In addition, the content sharing server 30 may provide the selection list for the various shooting targets as described above in the shared content generation step S11, and the user may select the selection object having the closest relevance to the shooting target You can choose to select an object. Thus, the user of the upload terminal 10 can easily specify an object to be photographed.

Therefore, the content sharing server 30 should be able to select an object to provide an accurate selection list to the user of the upload terminal 10.

In the above-described selection list, the uploaded photograph and photographing information may be used in the upload step (S10).

The selection list provided by the contents sharing server 30 includes a business name, a building name or a place name of a company whose address is located within a predetermined distance from the location of the upload terminal 10 among the objects registered in the contents sharing server 30 Can be set. For this, the name of the business, the name of the building or the name of the place may be stored in advance in the database of the content sharing server 30 along with its location.

The content sharing server 30 has an address within a certain distance from the upload terminal 10 among the business name, building name, and place name registered in the database of the content sharing server 30 in response to the location information received from the upload terminal 10 A selection list including a business name, a building name, and a place name as a selection object may be created and displayed on the upload terminal 10. Here, the criterion for a certain distance from the upload terminal 10 required to be included in the selection list may be arbitrarily set by the administrator of the content sharing server 30 or may be set differently according to the location of the upload terminal 10.

Accordingly, the user can easily and conveniently create the shared content in association with the object to be photographed.

The selection list may be set through an image search using a photograph taken by the upload terminal 10, unlike the above.

More specifically, if the content sharing server 30 searches for an image having the highest degree of similarity with a photograph to be uploaded through the upload terminal 10 and there is information on a business name, a building name, a place name, etc., You can set up a selection list to include as an object.

When the content sharing server 30 desires to search for an image having a similarity to a photograph taken at the upload terminal 10, various image comparison algorithms using machine learning or the like can be used. The content sharing server 30 can search for images having similarity with the photographs taken by the upload terminal 10 from the image files already registered in the database. Here, the degree of similarity refers to a value that is a reference for similarity between images to be compared according to the algorithm used for image comparison. The criteria for the degree of similarity may be set by the administrator of the content sharing server 30. [

When the retrieved image is introduced along with a specific business name, a building name, a place name, etc., the information sharing server 30 can extract information about the corresponding business name, building name, place name, and the like, and set it as a selection target.

As described above, although the content sharing server 30 generates the selection list and presents it to the upload terminal 10, the selection target required by the user of the upload terminal 10 may not be in the selection list. In this case, the selection list may include a selection target for allowing the user to search the shooting target or input the shooting target directly.

More specifically, one of the selection targets included in the selection list may be a menu that allows a user of the upload terminal 10 to connect to a page that allows the user to directly search for or directly input information about the shooting target.

When the user of the upload terminal 10 desires to directly search an object to be photographed, the user of the upload terminal 10 can select an object to be selected having a name of "search and input ", for example. In response to this, the content sharing server 30 causes a page on which the search window is displayed to be displayed on the display of the upload terminal 10 so that the shooting target can be directly searched through the database of the content sharing server 30 or another search engine . The user of the upload terminal 10 can generate a shared content by selecting a corresponding value when a value corresponding to the shooting target is found.

When the user of the upload terminal 10 intends to directly input an image to be photographed, the user of the upload terminal 10 can select an object to be selected having a name of "directly input ", for example. When the user of the upload terminal 10 selects to directly input the image, the upload terminal 10 can be connected to a page that allows the user to directly input the image to be photographed. Thereafter, the user of the upload terminal 10 may generate the shared content by typing and inputting the shooting target.

As described above, the user of the upload terminal 10 can directly search or input not only a selection target provided by the content sharing server 30, but also generate a shared content. The user of the upload terminal 10 can more flexibly generate the shared content and can easily specify the shooting target even if the content sharing server 30 can not provide a proper selection target do.

In addition, if the user has created the shared content through direct search or direct input, the shared content can be separately stored in the database of the shared content server 30. [ The information stored in the database is included in the selection list and presented by the content sharing server 30 when the other upload terminal desires to use the content sharing service at a similar position or with a similar image photograph, . That is, the shared content directly searched or inputted by the user of the upload terminal 10 can be stored in the database and reused according to the evaluation information.

When the user of the upload terminal 10 selects or selects one of the selection objects presented in the selection list and uploads a photograph, the content sharing server 30 transmits the fact that the selected terminal is uploaded by the upload terminal 10 Can be informed.

The contents sharing server 30 can notify the fact of uploading the picture through the contact information such as an ID representing a business name, a building name, a place name registered in the database, a telephone number of a business owner's business, and an e-mail. The content sharing server 30 may use various notification means such as a text message and a voice message for the above-mentioned notification.

Through this, the selection target selected or searched by the upload terminal 10 can know that the fact of sharing information about itself or its own is made, and it can have an opportunity to directly correspond to mis-transmitted information or add specific information . When a photographing object leaves a message to correspond to a photograph, a separate indication is displayed in the corresponding message, thereby enhancing the reliability of the message.

As described above, the content sharing server 30 does not generate the selection list and present it to the upload terminal 10, and the content sharing server 30 may select any selection target that is estimated to have the highest similarity with the shooting target It is possible to exclude the intervention of the upload terminal 10 in generating the shared contents.

More specifically, the content sharing server 30 generates a selection list by analyzing the location information of the upload terminal 10 or the uploaded photos, and transmits one of the selection targets included in the selection list to the content sharing server 30 Can be selected directly. In this case, the criterion that the content sharing server 30 selects the selection target is selected according to the learned algorithm using the stored database through the recording of the shared content created by the users of the other upload terminals 10 . ≪ / RTI >

The content sharing server 30 can select an object to be photographed in response to at least one of photograph and photographing information, and can create a shared object through the photographed object. In this case, there is no need for the user of the upload terminal 10 to intervene in generation of the shared content, so there is an effect that convenience for generation of the shared content is increased.

The user of the upload terminal 10 can set the initial value of the inquiry period in the upload step S10 or the shared content creation step S11. The inquiry period may be information set by the user of the upload terminal 10 by judging how long the information on the object of photography is valid and inputting.

For example, in the case of a photograph taken by people who line up in front of a shop for the position of a store, the information to be transmitted through the photograph may be valid for about 30 to 40 minutes. Therefore, in this case, the inquiry period can be set to 40 minutes by the user of the upload terminal 10.

Also, in the case of photographs in which the business hours of a store are changed during a day or that a rest is taken during a day, the information to be transmitted through the corresponding photograph may be valid for about one day. At this time, the inquiry period can be set to one day.

In the case of a photo showing a notice that the event will be held only for a specific date or that it will be closed, the information may be valid until that date. In addition, the initial value may be set to various values in the case of the case where the information of the photographed by the upload terminal 10 is to be held for a longer period of time, the case of sharing for an unlimited time, etc. .

The inquiry period can be input by the user of the upload terminal 10 by selecting one of the menus displayed on the display of the upload terminal 10,

According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent a meaningless information from being continuously shared with the passage of time by setting a photograph uploaded through a inquiry period to be viewable for a period required for information to be transmitted.

In the shared content creation step S11, the user of the upload terminal 10 can confirm the extracted information about the text extracted from the image or the photograph extracted from the photograph.

The extraction information can be generated by image analysis of a photograph taken through the upload terminal 10. [ Such extraction information may be generated by using various image analysis algorithms commonly used for information about the character string or image included in the photograph. The image analysis may be performed in the upload terminal 10 or may be performed in the content sharing server 30 to reduce the battery usage of the upload terminal 10.

The uploading terminal 10 can display the extracted information to the user in the shared content generating step S11. For example, as shown in Fig. 1, in the case of a photograph in which the upload terminal 10 has photographed a notice that "today is not available", the content sharing server 30 or the upload terminal 10 recognizes the text displayed on the photograph The text "It is easy to have a job today" can be extracted and generated as extraction information. The extracted text can be provided to the user in an editable state via the upload terminal 10. [ As a result, the user of the upload terminal 10 can check whether or not the extraction of the text is correct and can correct the wrong portion.

As another example, when the upload terminal 10 has photographed a post including an advertisement image, the content sharing server 30 or the upload terminal 10 can recognize the image displayed on the photograph and generate the extracted image . The content sharing server 30 can search for the corresponding image, present an image having a high degree of similarity, select it, and support the uploading step (S10). Accordingly, the user of the upload terminal 10 can increase the accuracy of information to be transmitted.

The content sharing server 30 can set an upload condition for a photograph that the upload terminal 10 uploads. The content sharing server 30 can allow uploading from the upload terminal 10 only when the upload condition is satisfied. The above upload conditions can be used to improve the reliability of photographs and photographing information uploaded by the upload terminal 10. [

The contents sharing server 30 can not easily recognize the state of the photographic object because the photographed image moves at a high speed. Therefore, the content sharing server 30 can not store the photographed image in the state where the position information of the upload terminal 10 remains unchanged for a predetermined period of time. It is possible to allow uploading of photographing information. For example, the content sharing server 30 can set a condition to allow the upload terminal 10 to upload a photograph and photographing information in order to maintain the speed of 0.

Since the upload terminal 10 uploading a plurality of times within a short period of time may possibly duplicate information or upload photographs and photographing information solely for the purpose of advertising, the content sharing server 30 may be configured such that the upload terminal 10 has a certain The upload condition can be set so that only a limited number of uploads can be performed within the time.

Since the photographs that have been photographed for a long time may not be immediately reflected on the site information, the content sharing server 30 may set the upload conditions so that only the photographs within the predetermined time period of the photographed images can be uploaded.

The sharing step S12 may be a step of registering the shared contents generated in correspondence with the photographing and photographing information in the database and sharing the shared contents with the inquiry terminals 40 during the inquiry period, Step S14.

The shared content generated through the shared content creation step (S11) may be stored in the database of the content sharing server (30).

The sharing step S12 may be a step of displaying at least a part of the shared contents in the inquiry terminal 40 to which the shared contents are to be inquired, Lt; / RTI >

The shared content displayed on the inquiry terminal 40 may include a photograph uploaded through the upload terminal 10, extraction information on the corresponding photograph, a shooting location and time of the photograph, and the like. The administrator of the contents sharing server 30 can set such information to be displayed through all or some of the inquiry terminals 40. [

For example, even if photos and photographing information are uploaded from the upload terminal 10, if the content sharing server 30 determines that displaying only simple texts is more effective than information display, Only the extracted information can be displayed.

The shared content may additionally be displayed on data already formed for the object to be photographed. For example, when the inquiry terminal 40 visits a page on which the restaurant information is displayed in order to confirm information on an arbitrary restaurant, there is a shared content for the restaurant, and the expiration date of the shared content is not yet expired , The content sharing server 30 can display the corresponding shared content on the inquiry terminal 40. [

In the sharing step S12, the content sharing server 30 can publish the shared content corresponding to the inquiry period set in the uploading step S10 or the shared content generating step S11. The content sharing server 30 may share the pictures during the inquiry period and may hide the pictures whose inquiry period has elapsed so that they can no longer be inquired by the inquiry terminal 40. [

Here, the viewing period of the picture set by the contents sharing server 30 may be set equal to the initial value set in the upload step S10 or the shared contents generating step S12. In addition, the inquiry period may be set by an administrator of the content sharing server 30 differently from an initial value set in the upload step S10 or the shared content creation step S11, if necessary.

The content sharing server 30 can share the pictures during the viewing period and can display the shared contents that are close to the ending period of the viewing period by separating them from other shared contents by making the saturation lower or appear dim, May be notified that the expiration of the inquiry period is imminent.

The evaluation information collection step (S13) may be a step of collecting evaluation information on the shared content shared by the content sharing server (30). Here, the evaluation information may mean information left after the users of the inquiry terminal 40 have viewed the photographs, and then evaluate the value and validity of the information transmitted by the photograph.

More specifically, in the case where the value of the information delivered by the photographs viewed by the users of the inquiry terminal 40 is effectively evaluated, it is possible to make a positive evaluation, and if the information delivered by the photograph is erroneous information or is no longer valid If the information is not information, it can be evaluated negatively. The evaluation information on the photographs left by the users of the inquiry terminal 40 may be formed through a score arbitrarily selected in a certain range that can be expressed by a number, or may be formed by selecting one of positive and negative It can be.

The content sharing server 30 may continuously collect the evaluation information from the inquiry terminals 40 during the inquiry period set in the photograph.

The inquiry period modification step (S14) may be a step of modifying the inquiry period corresponding to the collected evaluation information.

In more detail, the inquiry period modification step (S14) may be performed corresponding to one or more pieces of evaluation information input by the user who viewed the shared content through the inquiry terminal 40. [

That is, in the inquiry period modification step S14, if the score according to the evaluation information on the shared content is equal to or larger than the predetermined value, the inquiry period of the photograph is extended. If the score according to the evaluation information is less than the predetermined value, Can be modified.

If information to be delivered by the corresponding shared content is valid through the evaluation information left by the users of the inquiry terminal 40, there is a need to be shared with other users for a longer period of time. Therefore, the viewing period can be prolonged for shared content that has been evaluated positively. For example, when the evaluation information is generated at a randomly selected score within a certain range, the content sharing server 30 can calculate the sum or average value of scores according to one or more evaluation information left by the users of the inquiry terminal 40 have. If the calculated result is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the content sharing server 30 can extend the inquiry period for a predetermined period of time since the validity of the information to be delivered by the corresponding shared content is recognized. Conversely, when the calculated result is less than a predetermined value, the content sharing server 30 may shorten the inquiry period by a predetermined period, since the information to be delivered by the corresponding shared content is insufficient.

Also, the content sharing server 30 can prevent the evaluation information from being exploited so that the viewing period of the shared content is continuously increased by setting a threshold value for the maximum lifetime, unless the content is shared content for an unlimited period of time .

The administrator of the content sharing server 30 can set various criteria for extending or shortening the inquiry period in response to the evaluation information of the photograph as needed, and the degree of extension or shortening of the inquiry period can be set differently according to the evaluation information have.

More specifically, as described above, the extent to which the viewing period is extended or shortened according to the evaluation information can be set differently depending on the place where the picture was taken by the upload terminal 10.

For example, shared content for photos uploaded and photographed in a busy commercial district may have a higher number of views than shared content for photos taken in areas with low flood populations. In this case, if the inquiry period of the shared content is collectively modified according to the evaluation information of the user of the inquiry terminal 40, the inquiry period can be extended or shortened too fast, so there is a need to alleviate this phenomenon. Therefore, the extent to which the viewing period of shared content is extended or shortened may be set differently depending on the congestion level of the area or the floating population.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the content sharing server 30 in more detail in the embodiment of FIG.

3, the content sharing server 30 may include a transmitting / receiving unit 31, a control unit 32, an evaluation information collecting unit 33, and a database 34. In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the description of the contents overlapping with those already described in the preceding embodiments will be omitted.

The transmission / reception unit 31 may be connected to the upload terminal 10 or the inquiry terminal 40 via the Internet 20. The transmission and reception unit 31 can process the data format so that data input and output from the content sharing server 30 can be transmitted to the upload terminal 10 or the inquiry terminal 40 in accordance with the type of the Internet 20 .

The control unit 32 can generate and share the shared content through the data transmitted or received through the transmission / reception unit 31. [

The control unit 32 can share the shared content stored in the database 34 in response to the inquiry period set in accordance with the shooting information and modify the inquiry period of the shared content in accordance with the evaluation information.

More specifically, the control unit 32 sets the viewing period for the period in which the shared content is shared in response to the shooting information, shares the shared content during the viewing period, and allows the shared content that has passed the viewing period to be hidden have.

In addition, the control unit 32 can modify the inquiry period of the shared content corresponding to the scores according to the at least one evaluation information input by the user of the inquiry terminal 40 inquiring about the shared content.

The control unit 32 may extend the inquiry period of the shared content when the score based on the evaluation information is equal to or larger than the predetermined value, and shorten the inquiry period of the shared content when the score based on the evaluation information is less than the predetermined value.

The evaluation information collection unit 33 can collect evaluation information on the shared content shared by the control unit 32. [

The database 34 may store photographs and photographing information uploaded from the upload terminal 10, shared contents generated by the control unit 32, and evaluation information collected through the evaluation information collection unit 33. [ The database 34 may store data for the control section 32 to present the selection targets to the upload terminal 10 in the upload step S10 of the upload terminal 10. [ For example, the database 34 may store various information related to various names, place names, building names, and the like, information related to locations, industries, operating hours, and the like associated with the information. The information stored in the database 34 can be used when the content sharing server 30 provides the selection list in the shared content creation step S11 of the upload terminal 10.

The shared content stored in the database 34 may be provided to the inquiry terminal 40 accessed through the control unit 32 or the Internet 20. The database 34 may be hardware for storing information such as a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a random access memory (RAM), a flash, . The database 34 may be mounted on the content sharing server 30 or may be mounted on a separate device and connected to the content sharing server 30 online or offline.

4 is a diagram for illustrating a display of shared contents generated according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the following, the configuration of the screen displayed on the upload terminal 10 or the inquiry terminal 40 is an example in FIGS. 4 to 7, and the content to be displayed, the size of the area, and the arrangement method may be variously set.

Referring to FIG. 4, the user of the upload terminal 10 can know that a photograph is taken through the upload terminal 10 and uploaded to the content sharing server 30. 4 illustrates an example in which a user of the upload terminal 10 shoots a known post informing that the business hours of the restaurant have been changed using the upload terminal 10 and information on the changed business hours.

4 can be understood as a screen after text is extracted from a photograph taken by a user of the upload terminal 10 to generate extracted information, and the corresponding photograph and extracted information are uploaded to the content sharing server 30. [ It can be seen that the shared content area 401 is generated in a partial area of the display of the upload terminal 10 and is displayed as an area 402 in which general information that has already been generated for the shooting target is displayed.

5 is a diagram illustrating contents displayed on a display of an upload terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

5 is a diagram illustrating creation of a shared content for a photograph taken by a user of the upload terminal 10. As shown in Fig. The user of the upload terminal 10 can confirm the selection list composed of the selection objects presented by the content sharing server 30 through the selection list area 502 after taking a picture. Thereafter, the user can select a selection target in the selection list area 502 that matches or is closest to the shooting target. At this time, an area 501 indicating the location of the user terminal 10 may be displayed on the display of the upload terminal 10 to help the user select the area.

6 to 7 are views illustrating contents displayed on a display of a query terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 6 illustrates a screen displayed on the display of the inquiry terminal 40 when the shared content is viewed through the inquiry terminal 40. The user of the inquiry terminal 40 can confirm an area 603 in which general information previously formed is displayed and an area 601 in which a shared content is displayed together with an object to be inquired. At this time, the area 601 in which the shared content is displayed may be formed in the overlapping area 603 in which the general information is displayed.

An evaluation information area 602 for collecting evaluation information may be displayed on the display of the inquiry terminal 40 as well. The user of the inquiry terminal 40 can leave the evaluation information on the validity of the information delivered by the shared content being viewed through the icon displayed in the evaluation information area 602. [ 6, the evaluation information area 602 is composed of the "OK" and "DISABLING" icons, but the configuration or the name of the evaluation information area 602 may be variously set depending on the type of the evaluation information. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, an icon for selecting a score may be placed in the evaluation information area 602 so that a score within a certain range can be input instead of the "good" and "dislike" icons.

FIG. 7 illustrates an example of a screen in which a shared content with an expiration of an inquiry period is viewed through the inquiry terminal 40. FIG. The content sharing server 30 can share the pictures during the viewing period and can display the shared contents that are close to the ending period of the viewing period by separating them from other shared contents by making the saturation lower or appear dim, May be notified that the expiration of the inquiry period is imminent.

Referring to FIG. 7, the inquiry terminal 40 according to FIG. 7 may display an evaluation information area 702 and an area 703 in which general information is displayed, as shown in FIG. However, unlike FIG. 6, the shared content displayed in the shared content area 701 may appear to be faint, indicating that the expiration of the inquiry period of the corresponding shared content is imminent.

8 is a flowchart for explaining a process of confirming an upload condition in generation of a shared content.

Referring to FIG. 8, a photograph is uploaded through the upload step described in FIG. 2 (S81), and then the content sharing server 30 confirms the upload condition and determines whether or not the upload of the corresponding photo is allowed (S82 to S87) can be known.

The confirmation of the upload condition may be performed before the shared content creation step S11 of FIG. 2 or may be performed at the intermediate or final stage of generating the shared content, and each of the steps may be separately performed in the process of generating the shared content May be performed.

More specifically, the content sharing server 30 can confirm whether the uploaded photograph from the upload terminal 10 is a photograph immediately taken by a given photographing means (S82). To this end, the content sharing server 30 allows only uploading of photographs taken through a dedicated application installed in the upload terminal 10, or upload time of photographs and uploading of photographs taken within a predetermined time Can be accepted.

The contents sharing server 30 may allow the uploading of the photographs only when the photographing target of the photograph taken through the upload terminal 10 and the photographing place of the photograph are within a certain distance in step S83.

For example, when the position of the selection target selected by the upload terminal 10, which is selected in the upload terminal 10, is equal to or greater than the predetermined position and distance from the upload terminal 10, You may not allow uploads for that photo. At this time, the criterion for the distance between the position of the upload terminal 10 and the position of the selection target can be arbitrarily designated by the administrator of the content sharing server 10. [

In addition, since the photographs taken while moving at a high speed may be difficult to know precisely about the status of the photographic subject, the content sharing server 30 only needs to photograph the photographic information of the location where the location information of the upload terminal 10 does not change for a certain period of time Uploading of photographs and photographing information can be permitted (S84).

 For example, the content sharing server 30 can set a condition to allow the upload terminal 10 to upload a photograph and photographing information in order to maintain the speed of 0.

Since the upload terminal 10 that uploads a plurality of times within a short period of time may possibly duplicate information or upload photographs and photographing information solely for the purpose of advertising, the content sharing server 30 may be configured such that the upload terminal 10 has a certain The upload condition can be set so that only a limited number of uploads can be performed within the time (S85).

If all of the above upload conditions are satisfied, the content sharing server 30 permits uploading of the corresponding photos (S86), and if not, the uploading of the corresponding photos can be rejected (S87). The above upload conditions can be used to improve the reliability of photographs and photographing information uploaded by the upload terminal 10. In addition, the upload conditions may be applied in a different order from the above, and the application of some upload conditions may be omitted depending on the content sharing environment.

9 is a flowchart for explaining a process of setting an inquiry period of the shared content.

Referring to FIG. 9, the viewing period of the shared content can be set according to the input of the upload terminal 10 or the administrator of the content sharing server 30 (S91).

The content sharing server 30 can set various criteria for extending or shortening the inquiry period in response to the evaluation information of the photograph as needed, and the degree to which the inquiry period is extended or shortened according to the evaluation information can be set differently (S93). More specifically, as described above, the extent to which the viewing period is extended or shortened according to the evaluation information can be set differently depending on the place where the picture was taken by the upload terminal 10.

For example, shared content for photos uploaded and photographed in a busy commercial district may have a higher number of views than shared content for photos taken in areas with low flood populations. In this case, if the inquiry period of the shared content is collectively modified according to the evaluation information of the user of the inquiry terminal 40, the inquiry period can be extended or shortened too fast, so there is a need to alleviate this phenomenon. Therefore, the extent to which the viewing period of shared content is extended or shortened may be set differently depending on the congestion level of the area or the floating population.

Thereafter, the content sharing server 30 may disclose the sharing contents and collect evaluation information according to the initial values of the inquiry period and the degree of change (S93).

10 is a flowchart for explaining a process of modifying an inquiry period in response to evaluation information in a sharing step according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 10, when the shared content is disclosed (S100), the content sharing server 30 can collect evaluation information from the inquiry terminal 40. FIG. When the content sharing server 30 receives the positive evaluation information from the inquiry terminal 40 on the public shared content (S101), the remaining inquiry period of the corresponding shared content can be increased (S105). In addition, when the content sharing server 30 receives the negative evaluation information from the inquiry terminal 40 on the published shared content (S102), the remaining viewing period of the corresponding shared content can be reduced (S104).

If the content sharing server 30 can not collect any evaluation information about the shared content, it can check whether or not the predetermined unit time has passed (S103). If the unit time has elapsed, the remaining viewing period of the shared content (S104). Otherwise, the public state of the shared content can be maintained (S100). Here, the unit period may be set by the administrator of the content sharing server 30 in units of time or day.

If the viewing period of the shared content decreases or increases, the content sharing server 30 may check the remaining viewing period of the shared content to determine whether the viewing period of the shared content is expired (S106). The content sharing server 30 can hide the shared content whose viewing period has expired (S107), and if not, can maintain the open state of the shared content.

The medium may be one that continues to store computer executable programs, or temporarily store them for execution or download. In addition, the medium may be a variety of recording means or storage means in the form of a combination of a single hardware or a plurality of hardware, but is not limited to a medium directly connected to a computer system, but may be dispersed on a network. Examples of the medium include a magnetic medium such as a hard disk, a floppy disk and a magnetic tape, an optical recording medium such as CD-ROM and DVD, a magneto-optical medium such as a floptical disk, And program instructions including ROM, RAM, flash memory, and the like. As another example of the medium, a recording medium or a storage medium managed by a site or a server that supplies or distributes an application store or various other software to distribute the application may be mentioned.
