Method for providing filming spot information and apparatus using such method TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a method for providing photographing spot information and an apparatus using the method. In more detail, it relates to a method for providing photographing spot information and an apparatus using the method for providing information on an area in which a picture is well appeared and/or information on a photographing technology when photographing in a place such as a tourist destination.

According to the'The OECD Tourism Trends and Policies 2018 Report' published by the organization for economic cooperation and development (OECD), the tourism industry is 4.2% of the average GDP of the OECD area. And 86.9% of employment and 21.7% of service exports.

Recently, the tourism industry is showing a continuous growth trend, and in 2016, the number of global tourists increased to more than 1.2 billion. This recorded a high growth rate of 3.9% compared to the previous year.

According to the report, the tourism industry is projected to reach 1.8 billion global tourists by 2030, and in particular, the number of tourists visiting emerging tourism countries is expected to more than double that of advanced tourism countries. Accordingly, the market share of emerging tourism countries is expected to increase from 45% in 2016 to 57% in 2030.

The OECD analyzed that the global tourism industry will show an average annual growth rate of 3.3% until 2030, as airfare is cheaper and interest in the tourism industry is increasing. Emerging Tourism Bureaus are forecast to record 4.4% growth.

2 is a conceptual diagram showing collected photographing record information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, photographing record information collected to determine a photographing spot and provide photographing information for optimal photographing at the photographing spot is disclosed.

Referring to FIG. 2, the collected recording information may include image information 200, metadata information 220, related text information 240, third party reaction information 260, and the like.

A plurality of photographing record information may be uploaded by a plurality of users, and the uploaded plurality of photographing information may be used to determine a photographing spot. Alternatively, a plurality of photographing record information may be collected in various media such as the web, and the collected plurality of photographing record information may also be used to determine a photographing spot.

The image information 200 may be information on a captured image.

The metadata information 220 may include recording information related to recording generated when an image is captured, such as recording time information, recording location information, and the like.

The related text information 240 may be text information directly left by a user who uploads image information. For example, when a user uploads an image on an SNS, it may be text information (eg, a hashtag) of the user left while uploading the image.

The third-party response information 260 may include information on a third-party's online response to the image. For example, the third-party response information 260 may include information on the number of other users who like or respond to the image, comments left by other users, and the number of inquiring the image.

Image information 200, metadata information 220, related text information 240, and third-party response information 260 can be extracted from each of a plurality of photographing information, and using this information, a photographing spot, photographing effect, etc. Can be determined.

3 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method of determining a photographing spot according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 3, a method for determining a photographing spot based on information extracted from photographing information is disclosed.

Referring to FIG. 3, a photographing location may be extracted from metadata information, related text information, third party reaction information, and the like among photographing information generated by a plurality of users.

Primary clustering may be performed to determine the primary candidate photographing spot 310. Each of the photographing positions may be expressed as one coordinate (shooting position point) on the coordinate axis, and when clustering is performed based on the photographing position point, adjacent photographing positions may be gathered and created as one photographing spot cluster. An area based on one photographing spot cluster may be the primary candidate photographing spot 310.

When the first candidate photographing spot 310 is determined, the second candidate photographing spot 320 may be secondarily determined. First, the first candidate photographing spot 310 may be divided based on a certain unit area, and a unit area having a high capturing location point density may be extracted from the divided unit area. For example, an area determined as the primary candidate photographing spot 310 may be divided into a unit area of a square shape having a width of 10 m and a length of 10 m. When the division into such a unit area is performed, a unit area having a relatively high density of photographing location points among each unit area and a unit area surrounding the unit area may be determined as the target unit area.

When the density of the photographing location point of the corresponding unit area is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, the corresponding unit area may be determined as the target unit area.

Alternatively, even when the shooting location point density of the unit area is less than the first threshold value, the target unit area even when the generation time of the shooting location point is within the critical time from the current point of view, and the increasing speed of the shooting location point density is greater than or equal to the critical speed. Can be determined. Through this method, it is possible to extract not only photographing spots that have traditionally been photographed a lot, but also photographing spots that have been newly photographed a lot as a photographing spot.

After the second candidate photographing spot 320 is determined, a photographing spot may be finally determined on the second candidate photographing spot 320. The number of photographing spots may be plural. The photographing spot may be a location in which the most photographing is performed in the secondary candidate photographing spot 320.

For example, the secondary candidate photographing spot 320 may be a set of at least one unit area, and related text information and third party reaction information may be used to determine a final photographing spot. For example, a photographed image for each photographing location point located at the second candidate photographing spot 320 may exist, and related text information and third-party reaction information for each corresponding photographed image may exist.

For example, the point where the third-party response score 330 is equal to or greater than the threshold score among the photographed images for each of the shooting location points located in the secondary candidate shooting spot 320 is the shooting spot 350 ) Can be determined.

The third-party response score 330 may be extracted based on the number of image views and image responses (like, comment, etc.), and a point where the third-party response score 330 is equal to or greater than a threshold value may be determined as a shooting spot.

In this case, the third-party response score 330 may additionally consider a weight determined in consideration of other uploaded images of the user who uploaded the photographed image. For example, a determination of the photographing spot 350 may be made in consideration of how much higher responses have been obtained with respect to an image photographed at a first location than other images. The first weight may be applied when the response score of the first user is 90 to 100, and the second weight is applied when the response score of the second user is 20 and then 80. In this case, the second weight is set to a higher value than the first weight, so that the third-party response score 330 may be extracted.

The location designated as the photographing spot 350 may be provided to the user, and location guidance information for guiding the user to the photographing spot 350 may also be provided.

4 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method for determining a photographing spot according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 4, a method of determining a photographing spot by additionally considering time information is disclosed.

Referring to FIG. 4, at least one of the aforementioned first candidate photographing spot, second candidate photographing spot, and photographing spot may be determined in consideration of photographing time information included in metadata information. Hereinafter, in an embodiment of the present invention, for convenience of explanation, the first candidate photographing spot and the second candidate photographing spot are determined without considering separate photographing time information, and the method of determining the photographing spot is performed in consideration of photographing time information. Is initiated. However, this is an exemplary embodiment, and determination of the first candidate photographing spot and the second candidate photographing spot may be performed in consideration of photographing time information.

Through this method, it is possible to recommend a photographing spot at a specific time/period as a photographing spot at a specific time/period. Such a photographing spot is a photographing spot dependent on time and may be expressed in terms of a photographing spot (time dependent).

First, the photographing time is divided into a first time unit 410 so that a photographing spot (time dependent) may be determined. The first time unit 410 is a unit of a preset time and may be, for example, a unit of 2 hours.

After being divided into the first time unit 410, it may be determined whether or not there is a change in the number of times of photographing per time for each first time unit 410. For example, when a change in the number of times of capturing for each first time unit 410 is less than a threshold percentage within a set time range, the corresponding capturing spot may be a capturing spot that does not change according to a change in time.

Conversely, when a change in the number of times of shooting for each first time unit 410 within a set time range occurs more than a threshold percentage, the corresponding shooting spot may be a shooting spot (time dependent) as a place that changes according to a change in time. .

If there is a shooting spot (time dependent), information about the shooting spot (time dependent) can be made so that you can shoot at a time/section (hereinafter, shooting concentration time/shooting concentration range) where a lot of shooting occurs. have.

In order to determine such a concentrated shooting time/the concentrated shooting period, a degree of change in the number of shots per time/section may be determined. When a photographing spot (time dependent) exists, a change in the number of photographing for each second time unit 420 may be determined by setting the time unit as the second time unit 420.

Specifically, a section in which the change in the number of shots per first time unit 410 occurs more than a threshold percentage is set as the target first time unit 415 section, and the target first time unit 415 section is a second time unit ( 420). In this case, the second time unit 420 may be a value relatively smaller than the first time unit 410.

In this case, a range of the photographing dependent time may be determined in the photographing spot (time dependent). For example, in the case of a shooting spot for photographing a sunrise, since the range of the shooting dependent time used as the shooting spot is near the sunrise time, shooting may occur within a relatively short range of shooting dependent time. Conversely, in the case of a shooting spot for photographing a night view, since the range of the shooting dependent time used as the shooting spot is after sunset and before the sunrise, shooting may occur within a relatively long range of shooting dependent time.

The second time unit 420 may be determined as a value that maximizes a change in the slope of the number of photographing times per time unit. Through the determination of the second time unit 420, a time section in which the most actively photographing occurs may be more accurately extracted, and a photographing concentration time 450 in which the most actively photographing occurs may be set.

Based on the determined second time unit 420, information on a photographing spot that changes according to time may be delivered to the user.

In FIG. 4, for convenience of explanation, a method of providing information on a photographing spot in units of time is disclosed, but the time unit may be set on a monthly or weekly basis to provide information on the photographing spot. For example, if the number of shooting increases in a specific month or week (eg, cherry blossom festival), it may be provided as a separate shooting spot when such an event occurs. That is, in an embodiment of the present invention, information on the photographing spot may be provided by setting various time units for determining the photographing spot.

5 is a conceptual diagram showing an operation of a photographing support unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 5, an operation of a photographing guide unit for guiding a user to a photographing spot and an operation of a photographing support unit for supporting a user's photographing at the photographing spot are started.

Referring to FIG. 5, first, when a user arrives near the photographing spot, the photographing guide may provide information for accurately guiding the photographing spot.

Based on the location information of the user device and the location information of the shooting spot, the shooting guide indicates the direction in which the user should move to move to the shooting spot through the user interface (for example, (ex. left(←)), right((ex. left(←)), right()). →)) When the user is located at the shooting spot, separate identification information (eg, arrows are displayed facing each other (→←)) can be output to the user device.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the photographing support unit may support a user to photograph at a photographing spot based on an augmented reality effect.

An image photographed from an existing photographing spot may be extracted and provided to a user device, and information for photographing at the photographing spot may be provided by the user through an augmented reality effect.

6 is a conceptual diagram showing the operation of the photographing support unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 6, an operation of providing an augmented reality effect to support photographing at a photographing spot of the photographing support unit is started.

Referring to FIG. 6, a first reference photo 610 for providing a shooting effect at a shooting spot may be determined. The first reference picture 610 may be at least one picture taken from a photographing spot.

When at least one first reference picture 610 is selected, at least one reference object may be extracted from the first reference picture 610. The at least one reference object may be an object that repeatedly appears on the plurality of first reference photos 610 with a threshold ratio or more. For example, in the case of a photographing spot capable of photographing Namsan Tower, at least one first reference photo 610 may include Namsan Tower, and the reference object may be Namsan Tower.

When the reference object is extracted, one second reference picture 620 for providing a photographing composition and a photographing effect may be selected from among the plurality of first reference pictures 610. The second reference picture 620 may be selected in consideration of the user's photographing tendency.

A separate image for a reference object for photographing in the same composition as the second reference photo 620 based on the second reference photo 620 may be provided on the user device. For example, when the reference object is Namsan, a separate augmented reality image corresponding to Namsan may be output on the display of the user device, and the user shoots by matching Namsan to the augmented reality image when capturing using the user device. Shooting can be performed with the same composition and object size as the reference photo (shooting support).

In order to select the second reference picture 620, an existing photographed image of the user may be used.

By extracting an object from an existing photographed image, user photographing habit information (for example, composition information, object information, etc. that the user mainly uses when photographing) is extracted, and a second reference photo 620 is selected in consideration of the user photographing habit information. Can be.

Various depending on the user, such as 1) taking a picture centered on a person, 2) taking a picture centering on an object other than a person, 3) shooting only an object without a person 4) shooting a plurality of people, etc. You can have a variety of shooting habits.

Accordingly, the second reference picture 620 may be determined in consideration of the user's photographing habit.

First, in order to extract the second reference photo 620, time information of a captured photo and information of a captured image object may be considered by the user.

The time information may be determined in consideration of a picture previously taken by the user. For example, when the current user is traveling with friends, a result of taking pictures with friends is stored, and there may be many cases in which the user takes a picture with friends at a shooting spot in the future. Therefore, when a picture taken within a threshold time (eg, 2 hours) from the current point of time exists, the picture may be considered first and used to determine the second reference picture 620.

If a picture taken within a threshold time (eg, 2 hours) from the current point of time does not exist, the second reference picture 620 may be determined through analysis of the picture taken by the user. A second reference picture 620 having the most similar composition information and distance information may be extracted by determining composition information and distance information in which the user mainly places a reference object and/or a person on the picture from the existing picture. The distance information may be the distance of the object based on the position of the camera on the photo.

For example, user object information may be extracted through analysis of an existing photo or analysis of a subject object on a camera of the user device. Thereafter, user object information (i.e., user device's information) (first object), other human object information (second object), and non-human object information (third object) are extracted from the existing photo. By extracting composition information and distance information of an object (a first object, a second object, and a third object), a reference picture having the most similar composition information and distance information may be extracted as the second reference picture 620.
