In addition, when an application in which the tag insertion system for video content according to the present invention is implemented is executed on the electronic device, a series of processes for inserting tags into video content may be performed.

As described above, the tag insertion method for video content according to the present invention is a function of an application that provides at least one other function as well as an application for performing a unique function according to the present invention alone, Of course, a series of processes may be performed.

The electronic device referred to in the present invention may be any electronic device capable of operating a function according to the tag insertion system for moving image content according to the present invention, and there is no particular limitation on the type thereof. For example, the electronic device is a mobile phone, a smart phone, a notebook computer, a portable computer, a slate PC, a tablet PC, an ultrabook. , desktop computer, digital broadcasting terminal, PDA (personal digital assistants), PMP (portable multimedia player), navigation, wearable device, for example, watch-type terminal (smartwatch), glass-type terminal (smart) glass), HMD (head mounted display), etc. may be included.

On the other hand, as described above, the tag insertion system 100a for video content according to the present invention that can be implemented in the form of an application includes an input unit 110 , an output unit 120 , a storage unit 130 , and a communication unit 140 . and at least one of the control unit 150 . The above components, as software components, may perform functions in conjunction with hardware components of the electronic device 100c.

For example, the input unit 110 includes an input unit provided in the electronic device 100c (eg, a touch screen, a virtual key, a physical key (or a hardware button), an input sensor, a microphone, etc.) Through this, a user input may be received. More specifically, the input unit 110 may receive a selection of information content to be associated with the video content in a tag editing mode for inserting a tag into the video content. Here, “to be selected” means to receive a selection signal (or an input signal, or a user input) corresponding to the user's selection based on the user's selection through the configuration of the input unit provided in the electronic device 100c. can mean doing

Next, the output unit 120 may output information through an output unit included in the electronic device 100c (eg, a display unit, a touch screen, a speaker, etc.).

In addition, the storage unit 130 uses at least one of a memory and an external storage provided in the electronic device 100c, among information related to a tag, information related to a graphic object, and information related to information content generated through the present invention. At least one may be stored, information related to the system, or commands (or commands) may be stored.

In the present invention, “stored” in the storage unit 130 may mean that information is physically stored in the memory or external storage of the electronic device 100c. Here, the external storage 100b may be a cloud-type storage.

Meanwhile, when an application having a function according to the present invention is deleted from the electronic device 100c, information stored in the storage unit 130 may also be deleted from the electronic device 100c. Meanwhile, in this case, information stored in the external storage 100b may not be deleted.

Furthermore, the communication unit 140 uses the configuration of a communication module (eg, a mobile communication module, a short-range communication module, a wireless Internet module, a location information module, a broadcast reception module, etc.) provided in the electronic device 100c, It may serve to transmit and receive information (or data) related to the present invention with at least one external device (or external server).

Meanwhile, the controller 150 may perform overall control for carrying out the present invention by using a central processing unit (CPU) provided in the electronic device 100c. The components described above may operate under the control of the control unit 150 , and of course, the control unit 150 may control the physical components of the electronic device 100c.

In the present invention, the controller 150 generates a graphic object including a tag corresponding to the information content in the electronic device in which the tag editing mode is executed, and outputs the graphic object during a specific playback section of the moving picture content. It may serve to insert the graphic object into content.

In the present invention, information content is information that can be expressed (or expressed) through an electronic device, and there is no particular limitation on the type, form, or content of the information. For example, electronic documents, web pages, images, moving pictures, E-books, Uniform Resource Locator (URL) information, place information, shopping information, etc. may all be expressed as information content. Information content can be understood very broadly, regardless of the category of the information or the type of information. However, information content in the present invention may refer to information accessible through wired or wireless communication, and information whose access path can be specified. Here, the access path may mean a URL. Meanwhile, in the present invention, the accessible information does not include the meaning of “no special authority or security is required for access to information content”.

Meanwhile, a “tag” refers to information representing (or representing, summarizing) “specific information content”.

Here, "specific information content" may mean information content specified by a user's selection (or request) or the control unit 150, not arbitrary information content. If shopping information is described as an example, when the search word “sneakers” is entered through an information search site (or information search engine), various information related to “sneakers” that is output will be expressed as “arbitrary information content”. can

And, when at least one of these arbitrary information contents is specified by a user's selection (or request) or the control unit 150, the specified at least one information contents may be expressed as "specific information contents".

In the present invention, "information content has been selected" can be understood as "information content has been specified". Furthermore, the information content selected above may also be expressed as “specific information content”.

In the present invention, information related to a specific information content can be set as a tag of the specific information content. Thus, a tag can be expressed as information representing (or representing, summarizing) specific information content.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the controller 150 may correlate the tag with specific information content. In other words, the tag and specific content may be matched with each other, and information related to the matching (or may also be referred to as “matching information”) may be stored in the storage unit 130 .

Also, when the tag is inserted into the video content, the matching information may be included in the video content. That is, when inserting the tag into the video content, the controller 150 may include information related to the matching in the video content as well.

In the present invention, “the tag and the specific information content are correlated” may mean that access to the specific information content is possible through the tag. In this case, the tag may also be expressed as “information on an access path to the specific information content is linked”.

The controller 150 may include, in the matching information, information on an access path to the specific information content discussed above. As a result, when the tag inserted into the video content is selected by the user after the tag is inserted into the video content, the electronic device playing the video content is based on the matching information included in the video content, the specific information content can be accessed with As described above, the information on the access path is information accessible from the electronic device through a wired or wireless communication method, and may include URL information.

Furthermore, the tag is not necessarily made of text (see (a) 221 of FIG. 2: “nice running shoes”), but may also be made of an image (refer to 222 image of (a) of FIG. 2). Here, the image is a concept including both a static image and a dynamic image (or moving picture, video).

In this way, a tag made of text or an image can be expressed as “a tag made of visual information”. In addition, of course, the tag may be made of audible information or tactile information.

As described above, a tag may be classified into a tag made of visual information, a tag made of auditory information, or a tag made of tactile information according to a form in which information is output. In the present invention, a method of inserting a tag made of visual information into video content will be described in more detail.

Meanwhile, a tag is information related to specific information content, and may include at least a part of specific information content, or may be made of information that can represent or mean specific information content.

In the present invention, the control unit 150 may set at least a part of the specific information content as a tag of the specific information content. In this case, the at least part of the information may be formed of at least one of text and an image.

The controller 150 may extract at least a portion of information included in the specific information content and set the extracted information as a tag associated with the specific information content. In this case, whether any information is to be extracted may be based on a preset criterion or a preset algorithm. Also, the control unit 150 may receive information corresponding to a tag to be associated with specific information content from the user. Then, the information received from the user can be set as a tag of the specific information content.

The tags described above may be inserted into the video content through the tag editing mode. Here, the tag editing mode is a mode for inserting tags into video content, and execution of the tag editing mode may be based on a user's selection.

In this case, the tag editing mode may be executed based on the execution of the application providing the function according to the present invention.

As an example, when the application providing the function according to the present invention is an application that uniquely performs only the function according to the present invention, the execution of the application may mean that the tag editing mode is executed.

As another example, when the application providing the function according to the present invention is an application that additionally provides other functions in addition to the function according to the present invention, the execution of the application does not mean that the tag editing mode has been executed. can That is, in this case, the tag editing mode may be executed only when the function according to the present invention is selected in the application providing the additional function. Selection of such a function may be based on a user's selection. In the application providing the additional function, a function icon or menu to which a function according to the present invention is linked (or related) may exist. The controller 150 may execute the tag editing mode based on the user's selection through the function icon or the menu.

Meanwhile, since there may be various application examples in addition to the examples described above for the method of executing the tag editing mode, in the present invention, no particular limitation is placed on the method of executing the tag editing mode.

On the other hand, in the present invention, inserting a tag means associating a tag with video content, and more specifically, performing visual processing to allow a user to recognize a tag representing (or representing) information content. can mean that In this case, the visual processing may refer to graphic processing in which a graphic object including a tag (refer to 220 of FIG. 2 (a)) appears in at least one playback section of the moving picture content. Accordingly, in the present invention, "inserting a tag into video content" can also be expressed as "inserting a graphic object including a tag into video content", and both expressions have the same technical meaning.

Meanwhile, the graphic object 220 may be understood as an image including tags 221 and 222 , as shown in FIG. 2A . In the present invention, the tag means data itself representing specific information content, and the visualized data may be expressed as a “graphic object 220”.

In the present invention, that the tag is selected may mean that the graphic object 220 is selected on the electronic device 100c as shown in FIG. 2A . Conversely, in the present invention, that the graphic object 220 is selected may mean that a tag displayed through the graphic object 200 is selected. Therefore, in the present specification, the selected object is not strictly distinguished, and will be used interchangeably.

Meanwhile, in the preceding description, it has been examined that the tag and specific information content are matched with each other. According to the present invention, matching between a tag and specific information content can be interpreted as the same as matching between a graphic object and specific information content.

Similarly, “a tag and a specific information content are correlated” may also be understood as “a graphic object and an information content are correlated”. Accordingly, in the present invention, access to specific information content may be possible through a graphic object. In this case, it may also be expressed as "information on an access path to specific information content is linked" to the graphic object.

Accordingly, when the graphic object 220 inserted as a tag is selected as shown in (a) of FIG. 2, as shown in (b) of FIG. 2, the information content 230 matched to the tag At least a part of may be output.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the graphic object 220 not only includes the tag itself, but also may be composed of various visual elements (eg, elements related to shape, color, size, etc.), which will be described later. Let's take a look at it in detail.

Hereinafter, a method of inserting a tag for video content together with drawings based on the above description will be described in more detail. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of inserting a tag into video content in the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method of inserting a tag into video content as shown in FIG. 3 . 5A, 5B, 5C, 6A, 6B, and 7 are conceptual diagrams for explaining a method of inserting a tag for video content and a method of inserting a graphic object corresponding to a tag in the system according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, the tag insertion method for video content according to the present invention, which will be described along with the drawings, assumes that an application (or software) implementing a tag insertion system for video content is executed on the electronic device 100c. can be understood Accordingly, screens output to the electronic device 100c for performing the present invention are screens provided through an application, and in the present invention, such screens may be referred to as “execution screens”.

First, according to the method of inserting a tag for video content according to the present invention, a process of executing a tag editing mode for video content is performed (S310, see FIG. 3 ).

The tag editing mode may be executed on the electronic device 100c. Furthermore, as described above, the tag editing mode is a mode for inserting tags into video content, and may be executed based on a user's selection.

As an example, when the application providing the function according to the present invention is an application that uniquely performs only the function according to the present invention, based on an icon corresponding to the application being selected on the screen of the electronic device, the tag editing mode can be executed.

As another example, when the application providing the function according to the present invention is an application that additionally provides other functions in addition to the function according to the present invention, in the application providing the additional function, the function according to the present invention is selected Based on this, the tag editing mode can be executed. Selection of such a function may be based on a user's selection.

For example, the application providing the additional function may be an application that creates (or creates) video content. In this case, the function according to the present invention may be loaded as one function that can be utilized to produce video content. In this case, the controller 150 may perform both a control for producing video content and a control for inserting a tag into the video content.

More specifically, in the application for producing (or generating) the video content, as shown in FIG. may exist. The tag editing mode may be executed based on a tag insertion request event generated in the content editing mode for editing the video content. When the function icon 410 is selected in the electronic device 100c, the controller 150 may determine that a tag insertion request event has occurred. Then, the controller 150 may execute the tag editing mode based on the tag insertion request event. On the other hand, the access path to the function icon 410 may be very diverse, and is not limited to this drawing.

As shown in FIG. 4A , in the content editing mode, a content editing execution screen is output to the display unit of the electronic device 100c, and in one area of the content editing execution screen, the video content is displayed. At least one function icon related to editing may be output. In addition, the tag insertion request event may be generated when any one function icon 410 linked to the execution function of the tag editing mode is selected from among the at least one function icon.

Meanwhile, in this drawing, an example of executing the tag editing mode according to the present function has been described, and the present invention is not limited to the above example. The steps after the tag editing mode is executed may be commonly applied regardless of whether the function according to the present invention is provided as a unique application or as a function of an application that provides additional functions.

On the other hand, the tag editing mode according to the present invention is for inserting tags into video content, and in order to perform tag editing in the present invention, the video content into which the tag is to be inserted must be specified. In this case, the step S310 may include up to the process of specifying the video content. That is, step S310 may further include a step of receiving a selection of an image constituting the video content. In this way, the specification of the video content may be made based on selection of at least one image by the user. The controller 150 may generate video content by using at least one image selected by the user. Then, such video content can be specified as video content to be subjected to tag editing. As described above, the video content to be edited by the tag may be video content corresponding to the image selected by the user.

Here, the image selected by the user may be at least one of a static image and a dynamic image (or moving picture, video). In this case, when the image selected by the user is a static image, the moving image content may include a moving image generated using the static image. When the image selected by the user is a static image, the controller 150 may generate a dynamic image (or a moving image) having a preset playback time by using the static image. Then, the controller 150 may insert a tag on the generated dynamic image. In this case, the controller 150 may generate a dynamic image having the preset playback time by copying or duplicating at least a portion of the static image to generate a plurality of frames. As described above, the tag insertion method for video content according to the present invention can perform tag insertion regardless of the type of image selected by the user.

As described above, in the present invention, video content targeted for tag insertion may consist of one or a plurality of videos. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A , video content may include a plurality of videos 610 , 620 , and 630 . The classification of the plurality of moving pictures may be made based on whether the plurality of moving pictures exist as one moving picture file or as separate moving pictures before the moving picture content is generated. As described above, in the present invention, a tag editing mode for inserting a tag may be executed for at least one section of video content including one or a plurality of videos.

Meanwhile, the tag editing mode may be executed after the video content into which the tag is to be inserted is specified. Conversely, the execution of the tag editing mode may be executed first before the moving picture content is specified. In this case, the video content may be selected after the tag editing mode is executed. Furthermore, when a plurality of images are selected as moving image content, the controller 150 may perform image processing for synthesizing the selected plurality of images as one moving image content.

As discussed together in step S310, when video content is specified and the tag editing mode is executed, in the present invention, a process of receiving a selection signal for information content to be associated with video content is performed (S320). In other words, in the electronic device 100c in which the tag editing mode is executed, a process of selecting information content to be associated with the video content is performed.

As described above, information content is information that can be expressed (or can be expressed) through an electronic device, and there is no particular limitation on the type, form, or content of the information. For example, electronic documents, web pages, images, moving pictures, E-books, Uniform Resource Locator (URL) information, place information, shopping information, etc. may all be expressed as information content.

In the present invention, the control unit 150 may provide a user environment that allows the user to select information content. Through such an execution screen 420 (refer to FIG. 4 ) according to the user environment, the controller 150 may receive a selection or input of information content from the user.

Here, “receiving the selection of information content” means selecting at least one of information content that can be provided through the electronic device as information to be inserted into the video content as a tag. In this case, the information content may be stored in at least one storage (a concept including both an electronic device and an external storage).

In addition, "receiving information content" means that the source of the information content is based on the user's input, and for example, information such as a memo and URL address is input from the user through the electronic device 100c. do. In this case, the information content may be information itself input by the user.

On the other hand, in the present invention, "specifying the information content by the method of selection" is expressed as "selecting the information content by the first method", and "specifying the information content by the method of input" is "specifying the information content by the method of the second method" It can be expressed as “select information content”.

On the other hand, whether the information content is selected by either the first method or the second method may be based on the user's selection. The controller 150 may provide different information content selection screens according to the first method or the second method.

When the information content is selected in the first manner, the controller 150 may search for the information content and provide a user environment for selecting at least one of the searched information as the information content. Alternatively, when the information content is selected in the second method, the controller 150 may provide a user environment for receiving the information content.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the execution screen 420 for receiving selection of information content may be configured as shown in FIG. 4B .

As shown in FIG. 4B , the controller 150 may display a plurality of category items respectively corresponding to different information categories on the execution screen 420 . Like a city, a plurality of category items may correspond to different information categories, such as places, shopping, links, books, movies, news, and travel. In the present invention, when a user selects information content, for the convenience of selection, a category of information can be primarily selected in the process of selecting information content.

In this case, a method for selecting information may be preset in each category. That is, in each category, whether information corresponding to each category is to be selected by any of the above-described first method or second method may be preset.

For example, the category corresponding to the “place” item may be set to specify the information content by the “selection method” that is the first method, as shown in FIG. 8A . In this case, the controller 150 may provide an execution screen (refer to (b) of FIG. 8A ) for searching for information related to a place based on the selection of the “place” item. And, through this execution screen, the user may search for a specific place and select at least one of the searched information as information content. The information thus selected can be specified as information content.

As another example, the category corresponding to the “link” item may be set to specify the information content by the second method “input method” as shown in FIG. 9 . In this case, the controller 150 may provide an execution screen (refer to (b) of FIG. 9) for receiving information from the user. In this way, in the present invention, it is possible to select the information content by any one of the first and second methods.

Meanwhile, when any one of a plurality of categories is selected, the controller 150 provides a user environment in which information content can be selected in a manner corresponding to the selected category, and the information provided through the user environment is It can be limited to information corresponding to a category.

In other words, as shown in (b) of FIG. 4 , the control unit 150 includes an item 421 corresponding to a first category (eg, a “shopping” category) in which information content selection is set in a first manner. ) is selected, as shown in (c) of FIG. 4 , an execution screen (or search screen, 430 ) for searching shopping information may be provided. In addition, when a search word (or information) for information search is input through the execution screen 430 , the controller 150 may search for shopping information related to the search word, for example, “”. In this case, the controller 150 may output only shopping information as a search result even if other types of information (eg, dictionary information, person information, etc.) related to the search word exist.

That is, when a search word is input through the execution screen 430 , the controller 150 may recognize the search word as information for searching for a product. In addition, information related to product sales corresponding to the inputted search word may be searched as information content.

As such, when information (eg, a search word) for searching information content is additionally input after a category is selected, the controller 150 controls the additionally input information (eg, a search word) ), it is possible to search for information corresponding to the firstly selected category. That is, when any one of different information categories is selected by the user, the controller 150 may provide information content corresponding to the selected category.

In this way, when the information content is searched, the controller 150 may receive at least one selected from the searched information content (refer to FIG. 4(c), 431 ). The selection of the information content may be performed by selecting any one item 431 from among the items corresponding to the information content, respectively, as shown in the figure. The selection of the item 431 may be selecting a web page linked to the item 431 or an electronic document page. For example, based on the selection of the item 431 , the controller 150 specifies a product sales page (eg, a “nice running shoes” product sales page) corresponding to the item 431 as information content. can do. In this case, the selection may be made by the user through the electronic device 100c, and the control unit 150 may receive a selection signal according to the user's selection.

As such, when at least one information content is specified based on the user's selection, a process of generating a graphic object including a tag corresponding to the specified information content is performed (S330).

In order to generate a graphic object including a tag, the controller 150 may generate a tag related to the specified information content. As described above, “tag” refers to information representing (or representing, summarizing) “specific information content”.

The controller 150 may extract at least a portion of information included in specific information content and set it as a tag. For example, the controller 150 may extract at least a portion from the information content corresponding to the item 431 selected in (c) of FIG. 4 . The controller 150 may extract at least one of text and an image from the information content. For example, the control unit 150 may extract at least one of the text “nice running shoes” and an image from the information content. And, using the extracted information, it is possible to create (or set) a tag.

When the text is extracted, the controller 150 may set the extracted text itself as a tag. In addition, when an image is extracted, the controller 150 may set the extracted image itself as a tag of the specific information content, and differently, a thumbnail image (Fig. 4(d) 442 of the extracted image). reference) to set the thumbnail image as a tag of the specific information content.

In this way, when a tag is generated (or set), the controller 150 may correlate the tag with specific information content. Here, “correlating” may mean matching with each other. The relation between the tag and the information content will be replaced with the description previously described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 .

Meanwhile, whether information is extracted from the information content as information for setting a tag may be based on a preset criterion or a preset algorithm. Also, the control unit 150 may receive information corresponding to a tag to be associated with specific information content from the user. Then, the information received from the user can be set as a tag of the specific information content.

In this way, when the setting (or generation) of the tag is completed, the controller 150 creates a graphic object (see (d) and 420 of FIG. 4 ) including the tag (refer to (d), 441, and 442 of FIG. 4 ). can do. When the graphic object 420 is selected, the controller 150 may link the specific information content to the graphic object 420 or the tag so that the specific information content may be output. Here, “linking the specific information content to the graphic object” may mean linking link information corresponding to an access path to the specific information content to the graphic object.

On the other hand, the description of the correlation between the information content, the tag, and the graphic object will also be replaced with the description previously described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 .

The graphic object 420, as shown in (d) of FIG. 4, not only includes only the tags themselves 441 and 442, but also various visual elements (eg, elements related to shape, color, size, etc.) ) can be composed of The controller 150 generates a graphic object having a preset size, shape, and color, and the graphic object may include tags 441 and 442 .

The controller 150 may set at least one of a size, a shape, and a color of a graphic object differently according to a category of information content.

In the present invention, different color information may be matched to each of a plurality of category items. Information related to such matching (or matching information) may be stored in the storage unit 130 . The controller 150 may set the background color (or color) of the graphic object as a color matched to the category to which the specific information content belongs, based on the matching information. That is, the controller 150 may set a background color of a graphic object including a tag of the specific information content based on color information matched to a category item to which the specific information content belongs among the different color information. Accordingly, in the case of information content having different categories, the color of the graphic object may also be different. In this way, when the background color is different for each category, the user can easily recognize what type of information is tagged with only the color.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, at least one of a size, a shape, and a color of a graphic object may be changed based on a user's selection. For example, as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 7 , the controller 150 may provide an interface (eg, the selection area 710 ) for setting the color of the graphic object. . In addition, when any one item (eg, (a) 711 of FIG. 7 or (b) 712 of FIG. 7 ) is selected by the user through the selection area 710 , the control unit 150 corresponds to the selected item. It is possible to change the background color of the graphic object to a color to be used (for example, refer to the graphic object 720 shown in FIG. 7(a) or the graphic object 730 shown in FIG. 7(b)).

Meanwhile, when the background color of the graphic object is changed based on the user's selection, the controller 150 may set the background color of the newly created graphic object to the color selected by the user after the change. This is to reflect the user's preferred color. In this case, the control unit 150 does not set the background colors of all newly created graphic objects to the selected color, but only when a graphic object related to the graphic object whose background color has been changed is newly created. The background color of the graphic object to be used may be set to the selected color.

At this time, the graphic object (hereinafter, referred to as “second graphic object”) related to the graphic object whose background color has been changed (hereinafter referred to as “first graphic object”) is based on the category of information content. can be decided. That is, the controller 150 sets the category of information content (or specific information content) linked to the first graphic object and the background color of the second graphic object to which information content belonging to the same category is linked as the selected color. can be set.

Meanwhile, as described above, when a graphic object including a tag is created, a process of inserting the graphic object into the moving picture content is performed so that the graphic object is output during a specific playback section of the moving picture content (S340).

As illustrated in (d) of FIG. 4 , a graphic object 440 including tags 441 and 442 may be inserted into the video content.

The controller 150 may perform a graphic process of overlapping the graphic object 440 on at least one frame corresponding to the specific playback section among a plurality of frames included in the moving picture content.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5A , the video content consists of a plurality of frames, and the controller 150 controls at least one frame ( The graphic object 520 may be overlapped with 511 , 512 , 513 , 514 , and 515 . Meanwhile, a frame constituting video content may also be referred to as an image.

In the present invention, when the graphic object 520 overlaps with the moving picture content (or frame), it may mean that graphic processing for synthesizing the graphic object 520 with the moving picture content (or frame) is performed.

Meanwhile, the at least one frame into which the graphic object is inserted is continuous with the start frame 511 and the start frame 511 at which the output of the graphic object starts in the moving picture content, and includes at least one of the frames included in the specific playback section. It may be composed of one associated frame (512, 513, 514, 515). The start frame 511 and at least one related frame 512 , 513 , 514 , and 515 correspond to frames reproduced during the specific reproduction period.

The controller 150 may not overlap the graphic object with respect to the frames 516 and 517 that are out of a specific playback section. Such a specific playback section may be set or changed under a user's selection or under the control of a controller.

Meanwhile, the controller 150 is configured to insert the graphic object at a preset first position of the start frame. Here, the first position may also be expressed as a preset position. The preset location may be a location set as a default on the system (or a location set as a default).

As illustrated in (a) of FIG. 5C , the preset first position may be a position corresponding to the first coordinates (x1, x2). In the present invention, coordinates may mean absolute coordinates with respect to a frame. The graphic object 520 may be output to a first position according to the first coordinates (x1, x2) in the start frame and the related frame. Furthermore, as shown in (a) of FIG. 5C , the graphic object 520 inserted in the first position of the start frame through a touch input through the electronic device 100c is When moving to a second position different from the first position (eg, the second coordinates (x2, y2) shown in (b) of FIG. 5C), the insertion position of the graphic object 520 on the start frame is the The second position according to the second coordinates (x2, y2) may be corrected. In this case, the controller 150 may change the insertion position of the graphic object 520 in the related frame in association with the change in the insertion position of the graphic object 520 on the start frame. The controller 150 may insert the graphic object 520 in the second position of the related frame so that the output position of the graphic object 520 in the related frame is the same as the output position in the start frame. have.

In the above description, the case where the insertion position of the graphic object is changed in the start frame has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, when the insertion position of the graphic object is changed in any one of the start frame and the related frame, the controller 150 may change the insertion position of the graphic object in the remaining frames as well.

Next, looking at the “specific playback section” in which the graphic object is output, the specific playback section includes: i) a starting point of which playback point of video content to output a graphic object, and ii) how much from the starting point It can be specified by the output retention time for whether to keep the output of the graphic object during the playback time of .

The at least one frame included in the specific playback section includes: i) a start frame corresponding to the start time among a plurality of frames constituting the moving picture content, and at least one related frame included between the start time and the output holding time can be composed of

Meanwhile, at least one of the start time and the output holding time as described above may be changed or set based on a user's selection.

First, referring to the case where the start time is specified, the controller 150 may specify the start time at which the output of the graphic object starts based on the above-described time point at which the tag insertion request event occurs. More specifically, the controller 150 controls, among a plurality of frames constituting the moving picture content, a frame that was output from the electronic device 100c at the time when the tag insertion request event occurred (FIGS. 4(a) and 5). 511) can be set as the start frame. In addition, the controller 150 may set the playback time of the start frame in the moving picture content as the start time of a specific playback section. Meanwhile, according to the present invention, in addition to the method described above, the start time and start frame may be set or selected by various methods.

Next, referring to a method of setting a specific playback section, the controller 150 may set a preset time from the start time as a specific playback section.

In this case, the preset time may be a time set as a default on the system (or a time set as a default).

For example, as described above, when a static image selected by the user is converted into a moving picture having a preset playback time, the controller 150 may generate a graphic object for the converted moving image during the preset playback time. can be inserted. In this case, the specific playback section may correspond to the preset playback time.

Alternatively, the controller 150 may receive, from the start time, time information for setting a specific playback section, selected by the user.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5B , the controller 150 may provide an interface (eg, a setting area 530 ) for setting a specific playback section.

A specific playback section may be specified by selecting a “reproduction holding time”. When any one item (for example, item 533 of FIG. 5B(a) or item 531 of FIG. 5B(b)) is selected by the user through the selection area 530, the control unit 150 selects the selected item. A corresponding amount of time may be set as a reproduction section (or output holding time) in which a graphic object is output. In this case, the specific reproduction section in which the graphic object is output may be a reproduction section corresponding to the selected reproduction holding time (eg, 3 seconds) from the start time corresponding to the start frame.

More specifically, as shown in (b) of FIG. 5B , when the item 531 corresponding to “seconds” is selected, the controller 150 performs a playback section corresponding to 3 seconds from the specified start time. The graphic object 520 may be inserted into the included frames. That is, the control unit 150 includes the graphic object 520 in at least one frame (or related frame) included in the start frame corresponding to the predetermined start time and the playback section corresponding to the 3 seconds of the video content. can be inserted.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the controller 150 may insert a graphic object in units of moving pictures. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A , video content may include a plurality of videos 610 , 620 , and 630 . The classification of the plurality of moving pictures may be made based on whether the plurality of moving pictures exist as one moving picture file or as separate moving pictures before the moving picture content is generated.

As described above, the controller 150 may insert the graphic object 611a only into a specific moving image 610 including a pre-specified start frame 611 among a plurality of moving images. The control unit 150 is, when the remaining playback time of the specific video 610 starting from the specified start frame 611 is shorter than the selected playback time (eg, 3 seconds), the remaining playback time Only for frames corresponding to , the graphic object 611 may be inserted.

Accordingly, according to the present invention, when moving picture content is reproduced, the graphic object 611a may be output (or may appear) only for the specific playback section of the specific moving picture 610 . Also, when a moving picture 620 different from the specific moving picture 610 is reproduced in the moving picture content, the graphic object 611a may disappear from the electronic device 100c. Here, the disappearance of the graphic object 611a from the electronic device 100c means that it is no longer output to the electronic device 100c.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, even if the starting time point at which the output of the graphic object starts is specified in advance, it can be changed. The controller 150 may set both a start time point at which the output of a graphic object starts and an output holding time based on a user selection through the interface shown in FIG. 5B .

Furthermore, in the present invention, the controller 150 may insert the graphic object 520 into all of the plurality of frames included in the moving picture content.

For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 5B , when an item 533 corresponding to “all clips” is selected, the controller 150 controls the graphic An object 520 may be inserted.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 6A , when the moving image content is composed of a plurality of moving images 610 , 620 , and 630 , the controller 150 determines the group specified above among the plurality of moving images 610 , 620 , 630 . The graphic object 611a may be inserted only for all frames constituting the specific moving picture 610 including the starting frame 611 . That is, the related frame discussed above may be limited to a frame constituting the specific moving picture 610 .

As described above, as described in (a) of FIG. 5B , “the entire clip” may be any one of the plurality of moving images 610, 620, and 630 constituting the moving image content, not the entire moving image content.

For example, referring to FIG. 6B , it can be seen that moving picture content includes first, second, and third moving pictures 610 , 620 , and 630 , and graphic objects 611a and 621a are inserted in units of moving pictures. For example, in the first video, a graphic object 611a is inserted with respect to all frames constituting the first video, and in the second video, some frames 621, 622, 623, 624 included in a specific playback section are inserted. ), only the graphic object 612a is inserted. And, in the third moving picture, no graphic object is inserted. As described above, in the present invention, graphic objects may be inserted in units of individual moving pictures constituting moving image content.

Meanwhile, according to the present invention, when a tag insertion request corresponding to the same information content is received with respect to a plurality of moving images constituting the moving image content, the same graphic object may be inserted into the plurality of moving images, of course.

Furthermore, in the above embodiments, an example of inserting one graphic object into one moving picture has been described, but in the present invention, it is also possible to insert a plurality of graphic objects into one moving image based on a user's request. do. In this case, an output position, an output time, a reproduction time, etc. of the graphic object may be variously changed or set based on a user's selection.

As described above, the method and system for inserting tags for video content according to the present invention add graphic objects including tags related to information content to a plurality of frames constituting the video content, so that while the video content is played, Additional information may be provided. In this case, the information content may be information selected by a user who produces the video content, and through this, the user can more intuitively transmit information to be provided together with the video content to a third party.

In addition, in the present invention, by setting a specific playback section in which graphic objects are included among the playback sections of moving picture content based on the user's selection, the timing at which additional information is provided can be adjusted according to the user's intention. Through this, the user can add information content to be associated with the part being reproduced. Furthermore, a third party (or a user) using the video content produced in this way may be provided with information content related to the playback portion of the video content, thereby reducing the effort to separately search for the information content.

Meanwhile, in the previous description, a method of selecting information content in step S320 has been described. Hereinafter, a process of selecting or inputting information content will be described in more detail with accompanying drawings. 8A, 8B, 8C and 9 are conceptual diagrams for explaining a method for inserting a tag into video content and a method for selecting information content to be inserted as a tag in the system according to the present invention.

In the present invention, “information content is selected” means selecting at least one of information content that can be provided through an electronic device as information to be inserted as a tag into video content.

In the present invention, "specifying the information content by the method of selection" is expressed as "selecting the information content in the first manner", and "specifying the information content by the method of input" is "information content in the second manner" It can be expressed as “choose

As described above, which method of the first method or the second method is used to select the information content may be based on the user's selection. The controller 150 may provide different information content selection screens according to the first method or the second method.

When the information content is selected in the first manner, the controller 150 may search for the information content and provide a user environment for selecting at least one of the searched information as the information content. Alternatively, when the information content is selected in the second method, the controller 150 may provide a user environment for receiving the information content.

Furthermore, in the present invention, when a user selects information content, for the convenience of selection, a category of information can be primarily selected in the process of selecting information content.

In this case, a method for selecting information may be preset in each category. That is, in each category, whether information corresponding to each category is to be selected by any of the above-described first method or second method may be preset.

For example, as in the first method, categories for selecting information content in a search method include places, shopping, books, movies, news, information in a search engine (search portal site), and social network service (SNS). It may be a category related to information retrieval posted on .

Next, as in the second method, a category for selecting information content by a user input method may be a category related to input of URL, external link, question, vote, weather, date, and the like.

When the information content is selected in the first manner, the controller 150 may provide a user environment for searching for the information content and selecting at least one of the searched information as the information content.

The controller 150 may display a plurality of category items respectively corresponding to different information categories on the electronic device, and receive a selection of any one category item from among the plurality of category items. In addition, a search screen for searching information content corresponding to the one category item may be displayed on the electronic device. In addition, when search information (or a search word) is input through the search screen, the controller 150 may search for information content related to the search information that corresponds to a category corresponding to one of the category items. . And, when any one information content among the searched information content is selected, the controller 150 may insert a graphic object including a tag corresponding to the one information content into the moving picture content.

For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 8A , when the “place” item 811 is selected, the controller 150 controls an execution screen (FIG. 8A(b)) for searching for information related to a place. ) can be output to the electronic device 100c. In this case, information 813 related to the current location of the electronic device 100c (eg, “to XX Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do”) may be output on the execution screen. The controller 150 may use the location information collection module provided in the electronic device 100c to collect the current location information of the electronic device 100c and output the collected information to the electronic device 100c.

Meanwhile, although not shown, when the “place” item 811 is selected, the controller 150 adds an item corresponding to the place information included in the video content on the execution screen for searching for information related to the place. can be displayed

In this case, the place information included in the video content may be information that exists as meta data of the video content. In this case, the place information may be a place where the moving image content was actually shot, or information collected by an electronic device that has captured the moving image content.

On the other hand, as shown in (c) of FIG. 8A, the control unit 150 receives a search word (or search information) through the execution screen 820, and as shown in (a) of FIG. 8B, A place-related information content corresponding to the search information (eg, “Jeongja-dong Park View”) may be searched. The controller 150 may use the current location information of the electronic device from above when displaying the searched information content. The controller 150 may display the searched place-related information content in the order closest to the current location of the electronic device among the searched place-related information content. In this case, the output of the information content (or the place-related information content) may be output as items respectively corresponding to the information content, not the information content itself. That is, the information content may be output in the form of a list.

Meanwhile, although not shown, the controller 150 may apply various criteria when arranging items corresponding to each of the place-related information content.

That is, as described above, the control unit 150 displays the searched place-related information contents in the order closest to the current location of the electronic device, as well as the place-related information based on the place selection history information of the electronic device. You can sort the content.

In this case, “arranging the place-related information content” may mean sorting items corresponding to the place-related information content, respectively.

On the other hand, the place selection history information is history information on a place that has been selected in the electronic device, and the controller 150 may collect history information about the place (or place information) whenever a place (or place information) is selected on the electronic device. have. Here, the place (or place information) selected from the electronic device may include even a place (or place information) searched for by the electronic device.

More specifically, the place selection history information includes at least one of information on the most recently selected place in the electronic device (or recent place information) and information on the number of times of selection (or information on the number of times of place selection) for the place selected by the electronic device. can do.

Here, whenever a specific place is selected in the electronic device, the controller 150 may count the number of times of selection for the selected place. Accordingly, the controller 150 may retain history information on how many times the selected place is selected by the electronic device.

In this way, when outputting the place-related information content, the control unit 150 includes elements that the user may be interested in, for example, a place closest to the user, a place most recently searched or selected by the user, and a user You can prioritize the most searched or selected places.

Meanwhile, when displaying the place-related information content, the controller 150 selects any one of the electromagnetic current location information, the most recently selected place information in the electronic device, and information on the number of times of selection for the place selected in the electronic device. or at least two of them.

For example, the control unit 150 gives priority among the current location information of the electronic device, the most recently selected place information in the electronic device, and information on the number of times of selection for the place selected in the electronic device, and selects content related to place information. can be displayed

For example, the control unit 150 gives priority to the current location information information of the electronic device, but if there are a plurality of places at the same distance, the most recently selected place information in the electronic device may be considered as a lane. have.

Furthermore, as illustrated in (a) of FIG. 8B , when any one item 831 is selected from among the items corresponding to the searched information content, the controller 150 inserts a tag into the specified video content. can do. In this case, the inserted tag may be, in other words, a graphic object including the tag. That is, as shown in (b) of FIG. 8B , the controller 150 generates a tag related to information content corresponding to any one of the items 831, and a graphic object 850 including the generated tag. may be inserted into the video content 840 .

On the other hand, in the present invention, when a search is made according to an inputted search word, as shown in FIG. 8C , information content corresponding to the search result is not displayed, but items corresponding to each information content can be displayed. . These items can be output in the form of a list, as shown. In this case, the controller 150 may output a function icon 870 to each item. When the function icon 870 is selected, the control unit 150, as shown in (b) of FIG. 8C , an item including the selected function icon 870 (eg, “Todai Bundang Branch” information) The information content 880 linked to the content item) may be output. That is, the controller 150 may induce the user to select the correct information content by providing a user environment in which direct access to the information content is possible on the list.

Next, when the information content is selected in the second method, the controller 150 may provide a user environment for receiving the information content. For example, when the “link” item 911 is selected as shown in FIG. Execution screen can be output. In this case, the execution screen may include a link information input area 920 . In the link information input area 920 , as shown in FIG. 9C , information input by the user may be output. Information input from the user may be made through the electronic device 100c, and as illustrated, it is also possible to input through the virtual keyboard 930 .

In this way, when information is input from the user, the controller 150 may specify the information input from the user as information content. As shown in (d) of FIG. 9 , the controller 150 generates at least some of the information input by the user as a tag, and inserts a graphic object 960 including the generated tag into the video content 950 . can do. Meanwhile, when information is input from the user, the controller 150 may process the input information as information corresponding to the selected category. For example, when the “link” item is selected, the input information may be processed as link information.

The at least one function icon may be output while the video content is being reproduced or while the reproduction is stopped in the electronic device.

On the other hand, when any one function icon 1120 for outputting information content related to the video content among the at least one function icon is selected, in the electronic device, as shown in (b) of FIG. 11 , the video An information list including items 1130 , 1140 , and 1150 corresponding to all information content related to the content may be displayed. In the present invention, such a function may be called a “view all” or “view all together” function.

As such, when any one of the items 1130, 1140, and 1150 corresponding to the information content is selected, in the electronic device, as shown in FIG. 11(c), the selected item 1150 is A corresponding information content 1160 may be output. Accordingly, a user who uses the moving image content generated through the present invention can more easily identify the information content tagged in relation to the moving image content at any time. As described above, in the present invention, it is possible to induce intuitive entry into the information content tagged with the moving picture content.

As described above, in the present invention, when a graphic object included in video content is selected, by providing information content linked to a tag included in the graphic object, a third party (or user) using the video content, Information content can be accessed at any time while using video content. At this time, in the present invention, even when information on information content is output, by providing a user environment in which the moving image content is continuously played in one area of the electronic device, a third party (or user) using the moving image content can continuously reproduce the moving image. The content will continue to be available.
