How to manage content and cloud server to do it {METHOD FOR MANAGING CONTENTS AND CLOUD SERVER FOR EXECUTING THE SAME}

The disclosed embodiments are techniques for managing content shared in a social network service (SNS).

Recently, as the use of social network services (SNS) of users increases, the sharing of personal contents such as images and videos through SNS is increasing. In general, a user stores and manages valuable contents among various contents uploaded to SNS in a personal cloud storage. However, the more content to be managed, the more difficult it is to find the desired content at that time. In addition, in some search tools, a place search, a search through face recognition, a search through a specific object or landscape recognition in an image, etc. can be performed, but the object or landscape recognition technology is still very low in accuracy or quality. In addition, some services encourage users to write descriptions, comments, etc. to overcome this limitation, but this approach is not recommended for personal cloud storage, and it is not practical for a single user to limit the items that can be listed. not. In addition, when a user tags an image and stores the image in cloud storage, it is cumbersome to repeatedly write a comment related to the tag.

1 is a block diagram showing a detailed configuration of a cloud system 100 according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 1 illustrates a cloud system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment, which includes a social network service (SNS) 102, a cloud server 104, a cloud storage 106, and a user terminal 108. do.

The SNS 102 is an online service used for content sharing, and may be, for example, a facebook, a twitter, a line, or the like. In addition, in the present embodiments, the SNS 102 is used in a broad sense including both a media service capable of sharing content and a message service such as WhatsApp.

The cloud server 104 is a device that provides a cloud service such as file upload / download, file sharing, file synchronization, and the like. The cloud server 104 may be connected to the cloud storage 106 and the user terminal 108 through a network (not shown), respectively. Here, the network may include the Internet, one or more local area networks, wire area networks, cellular networks, mobile networks, other types of networks, or a combination of these networks. In addition, in FIG. 1, the cloud server 104 and the cloud storage 106 are illustrated as separate components for convenience of description, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The cloud storage 106 may exist in one configuration of the cloud server 104. have.

In the present embodiments, the cloud server 104 may manage content shared on the SNS 102 in association with the account of the SNS 102 of each user. To this end, the account of each user's SNS 102 may be previously connected with the cloud server 104.

The cloud server 104 may detect whether the first content is newly uploaded to the SNS 102 or whether metadata related to the first content previously uploaded to the SNS 102 is newly added. Here, the metadata is an activity log left by users of the SNS 102 in relation to the first content, and may be, for example, a comment, a description, a like, or the like related to the first content. . As an example, when the user uploads a new picture to the SNS 102, or when another user leaves a comment on the previously uploaded picture or presses the like button, the cloud server 104 may detect this. The cloud server 104 may automatically monitor uploaded content / meta data using various application program interfaces (APIs) supported by the SNS 102.

If the upload of the first content or the addition of the metadata is detected, the cloud server 104 stores the first of the plurality of second contents stored in the cloud storage 106 of the user who uploaded the first content. Search for the second content corresponding to the content. Specifically, the cloud server 104 compares each of the plurality of second contents stored in the cloud storage 106 with the first content detected by the addition of uploading or corresponding metadata, and thus, the first of the plurality of second contents. The second content that matches the content may be searched for. In this case, the cloud server 104 may determine whether to match the content using a set image matching technique, image matching technique, or the like.

As an example, when the first content is an image or video, the cloud server 104 matches the first content with the first content in the SNS 102 when the second content in the cloud storage 106 is as follows. Or match).

-When clipped from the original of the first content

-Resized from the original of the first content

-Re-compressed from the original content of the first content

-Color-corrected from the original of the first content

-Filter-applied from the source of the first content

At least some of the above cases are combined

If the second content corresponding to the first content is searched for, the cloud server 104 interlocks context information related to the first content with the second content corresponding to the first content and stores the cloud storage. Update 106. In the present embodiments, the context information is information related to the first content and the page to which the first content is uploaded. For example, the creation date of the page on which the first content is output, the writing in the page, and the photo address. , Comments, likes, tags, chat messages associated with the first content, and the like. However, this is merely an example, and the type of the context information is not limited thereto.

The cloud server 104 receives user information (eg, a user's name, gender, address, etc.) using an API supported by the SNS 102 based on the token value received from the SNS 102, The context information related to the first content may be linked to the second content corresponding to the first content through the page ID connected to the API. In this case, the cloud server 104 may interconnect the context information by attaching the context information to the second content corresponding to the first content. As an example, when a comment related to the first content is added on the SNS 102, the cloud server 104 searches for the second content corresponding to the first content among the second content stored in the cloud storage 106. The context information related to the first content may be linked to the searched second content. The cloud server 104 may continuously update the cloud storage 106 by repeating the above-described process every time when the upload of the first content / addition of the meta data is detected or every set period.

Thereafter, the cloud server 104 may receive a content search request including a search word associated with the context information from the user terminal 108. The cloud server 104 stores the second content stored in the cloud storage 106 as context information corresponding to the search word included in the content search request. That is, the second content associated with the context information may be searched for. In this case, when there are a plurality of second contents linked with the context information among the second contents stored in the cloud storage 106, the cloud server 104 weights each context information with respect to the plurality of second contents. Priority can be assigned.

As an example, the cloud server 104 may assign a weight higher than comments of other users to a description directly input by the user in the process of weighting each context information.

As another example, the cloud server 104 may assign a higher weight to a recently inputted message than a previously inputted message in the process of weighting each context information.

The cloud server 104 may assign a priority to each of the second contents to which the context information is linked based on the weights assigned to the respective context information. Accordingly, the cloud storage 106 may transmit the second contents having the highest priority among the plurality of second contents to the user terminal 108, and in this case, the possibility of the user actually searching for the contents to be searched is increased.

The cloud storage 106 is a repository where content is stored. The cloud storage 106 may be in one configuration of the cloud server 104 or may be connected to the cloud server 104 via a network. The cloud storage 106 may be, for example, but not limited to, personal cloud storage, and may include various types of storage (eg, a local device storage used by a user, a user terminal 108) having a space for content storage. ), My photo / gallery storage, etc.) may correspond to the cloud storage 106 according to the present embodiment. In addition, although only one cloud storage 106 is illustrated in FIG. 1 for convenience of description, the cloud storage 106 may exist for each user.

The user terminal 108 is a terminal possessed by a user, and may be, for example, a wearable device such as a desktop, a notebook, a tablet computer, a smartphone, a PDA, a smart watch, or the like. The user may log in to the SNS 102 via the user terminal 108 and upload the content to the SNS 102. In addition, the user may search for content stored in the cloud storage 106 through the user terminal 108. In this case, the user terminal 108 may display context information for each content stored in the cloud storage 106 to the user, and the user may more easily search for desired content. In addition, when a user searches for specific content by context information, content corresponding to the context may be displayed through the user terminal 108. That is, according to an exemplary embodiment, the user may more easily search for related content through context information.

2 is a block diagram illustrating a detailed configuration of a cloud server 104 according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the cloud server 104 according to an embodiment includes a detector 202, a searcher 204, a storage manager 206, and a request receiver 208.

The detector 202 detects whether the first content is newly uploaded to the SNS 102 or whether metadata related to the first content previously uploaded to the SNS 102 is newly added.

The search unit 204 searches for a second content corresponding to the first content among a plurality of second contents stored in the set cloud storage 106 when the upload of the first content or the addition of the metadata is detected. In this case, the cloud server 104 may search for the second content using the set image matching technique, image matching technique, or the like. As an example, when the first content is an image or an image, the search unit 204 may be resized from an original of the first content, or re-compressed from an original of the first content. ), The content that is color-corrected from the original of the first content or the filter-applied content from the original of the first content may be determined as the second content corresponding to the first content. .

When the second content corresponding to the first content is searched, the storage manager 206 updates the cloud storage 106 by interlocking context information related to the first content with the second content corresponding to the first content. . As described above, the context information is information related to the first content and the page to which the first content is uploaded. For example, a creation date of the page on which the first content is output, a writing in the page, a photo address, a comment, and the like. comments, like numbers, tags, chat messages associated with the first content, and the like.

The storage manager 206 receives user information using an API supported by the SNS 102 based on the token value received from the SNS 102, and receives various information related to the first content through a page ID connected to the API. Context information can be obtained. Thereafter, the storage manager 206 may update the cloud storage 106 by interworking the context information with the second content corresponding to the first content. For example, the storage manager 206 may attach the context information to the second content corresponding to the first content and generate an index to link the first content and the second content.

Table 1 below is an example of context information related to the second content stored in the cloud storage 106. Such context information may be stored and managed in a separate metadata DB (not shown) in the cloud server 104. The context information and the content in the cloud storage 106 may be interoperable through the aforementioned index.
