Hereinafter, the operation of each component included in the photo sharing recommendation system of FIG. 1 will be described in more detail.

2 is a block diagram of a photo sharing recommendation server 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2 , the photo sharing recommendation server 10 includes a storage unit 11 , a communication unit 12 , and a generation unit 13 . However, the photo sharing recommendation server 10 shown in FIG. 2 is only one implementation example of the present invention, and various modifications are possible based on the components shown in FIG. 2 . For example, the photo sharing recommendation server 10 may further include a database (not shown) for storing data.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the photo sharing recommendation server 10 is connected to the first device 21 and the second device 22 through a network. In this case, the first device 21 means the device of the first user, and the second device 22 means the device of the second user.

The storage unit 11 stores friend relationship information indicating a friend relationship of each of a plurality of users in a database (not shown). In general, the friend relationship information refers to information of other users who have formed a friend relationship with one of a plurality of users. Such friend relationship information may be extracted from e-mail and contact information stored in each device of a plurality of users by the communication unit 12, received from an external social network service server, or directly operated by the photo sharing recommendation server 10 may be received from a social network service server.

The friend relationship may be formed when any one of the plurality of users requests or recommends the friend relationship, and other users of the plurality of users accept the friend relationship. For example, if the first user requests to establish a friend relationship with the second user through the first device 21, a friend relationship may be formed between the first user and the second user according to the acceptance of the second user. .

The communication unit 12 receives photographing information of a picture stored in each of the devices 20 from the devices 20 of a plurality of users. In general, the photographing information includes information about at least one of a photographing date, photographing time, and photographing location. In addition, the photographing information may further include a serial number consisting of the title of the photograph, the user's device number, and the photograph's original number.

The generator 13 may generate a photo sharing recommendation message that recommends sharing a photo stored in a device of one user among a plurality of users to another user based on the friend relationship information and the photographing information. In this case, the photo sharing recommendation message may include a text to the effect of recommending sharing a photo, an identifier for image data of the photo, a photographing time and a photographing location of the photograph.

When explaining an example in which the shared photo recommendation message is generated by the generating unit 13 , the generating unit 13 selects a second user who is a friend of the first user based on the friend relationship information. Thereafter, the generating unit 13 compares the shooting dates of the pictures stored in the first device 21 of the first user with the shooting dates of the pictures stored in the second device 22 of the second user, and takes the pictures on the same date. Identify the photos that have been taken. In this case, the shooting dates are included in the shooting information. As a result of the identification, when the second photo of the second device exists on the same date as the first photo stored in the first device 21 as a result of the identification, the generating unit 13 transmits the first photo to the second user (or the second device 22) ) to create a shared photo recommendation message that recommends sharing.

When explaining another example in which the shared photo recommendation message is generated by the generating unit 13 , when the first user and the second user are in a friendship relationship, the generating unit 13 captures the photos stored in the first device 21 . By comparing the shooting times of the pictures stored in the second device 22 with those of the second device 22 , pictures taken within the same time region are identified. In this case, the shooting times are included in the shooting information. As a result of the identification, the generator 13 recommends sharing the first photo to the second user when there is a second photo of the second device captured in the same time region as the first photo stored in the first device 21 as a result of the identification. to create a shared photo recommendation message.

According to another example in which the shared photo recommendation message is generated by the generating unit 13, the generating unit 13 determines that the first photo stored in the first device 21 and the second photo of the second device are of the same date as a result of the identification. When the shooting location of the first picture and the shooting location of the second picture are the same or adjacent to each other, a shared picture recommendation message for recommending sharing of the first picture to the second user may be generated.

When explaining another example in which the shared photo recommendation message is generated by the generating unit 13 , the generating unit 13 takes pictures stored in the first device 21 when the first user and the second user are friends. By comparing the locations and the photographing locations of the pictures stored in the second device 22 , pictures taken in the same or adjacent location range are identified. In this case, the shooting locations are included in the shooting information.

As a result of the identification, the generating unit 13 provides the first photo to the second user when there is a second photo of the second device 22 taken within the same location range as the first photo stored in the first device 21 as a result of the identification. Create a shared photo recommendation message that recommends sharing. At this time, the generating unit 13 compares the area to which the photographing location of the first picture belongs and the area to which the photographing location of the second picture belongs with reference to the map divided into a plurality of zones, so that the first picture and the second picture are generated. It may be determined whether the photograph was taken within the same location range.

The map is divided into multiple zones. The generator 13 may specify a region to which a photographing location of each of the plurality of photos belongs with reference to this map. The generator 13 specifies the region 31 to which the photographing location of the first picture stored in the first device 21 belongs with reference to the map. This area 31 is defined as the first area in which a specific event occurred, and a white dot inside the area 31 indicates a photographing location of the first picture. When there is a second photo of the second device 22 captured in the same or adjacent area to the specified area 31 , the generating unit 13 takes the first photo and the second photo within the same location range. After it is determined that the first photo is shared with the second user, a shared photo recommendation message may be generated.

As a result of the identification, the generating unit 13 is configured to determine when a second photo of the second device 22 captured within the same or adjacent location range as the first photo stored in the first device 21 exists, the first photo taking time A photo sharing recommendation message may be generated in consideration of the relationship between the photographing time of the second photo and the second photo. The generator 13 compares the shooting locations of the pictures stored in the first device 21 with the shooting locations of the pictures stored in the second device 22, so that the zones 32, 33 and 34 Identifies pictures taken in In this case, the zone 32 , the zone 33 , and the zone 34 may be adjacent zones. The generating unit 13 compares the shooting times of one picture taken in the zone 32, two pictures taken in the zone 33, and three pictures taken in the zone 34 with each other to obtain all pictures. When there is at least one first photo and at least one second photo taken within the same time zone, a shared photo recommendation message for recommending sharing the first photo to the second user may be generated. That is, the generating unit 13 determines that the at least one first photo and the at least one second photo taken within a specific time range within the adjacent location range were taken by different devices but were taken within the same event range. It is recommended to share photos.

The generating unit 13 compares the shooting positions of the photos stored in the first device 21 with the shooting positions of the photos stored in the second device 22, so that the zones 35, 36, and 37 , identify the photos taken in zones 38 and 39 . The generating unit 13 is configured to determine if the pictures taken in the zones 35, 36, 37, 38, and 39 are pictures taken within the same time region. It is determined that the photos were taken while moving quickly within the scope of the incident, and a photo sharing recommendation message recommending sharing the captured photos between devices may be generated. For example, the generator 13 may generate three first photos and four second photos among the photos taken in the zones 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 and 39 . When the photo was taken during the time domain from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM on May 5, 2012, a photo sharing recommendation message for recommending sharing of three first photos to a second user may be generated.

In this way, when the generating unit 13 complexly considers the location comparison and the temporal relationship between the plurality of zones, the limitation of the simple rule of simply sharing only photos in the vicinity of the photographing location can be overcome. In other words, when deciding which photos to share at sports events or events such as walking, biking, or car trips that need to be taken in a wide area, it is decided to share only photos taken in the same time area within a radius of 1 km. It is more accurate to consider the location comparison and time relationship between pre-divided areas in a complex way than the method. Also, simplifying the locations where pictures were taken into zones can greatly improve processing speed.

The degree of densification of the plurality of zones depends on a level of a grid that separates the plurality of zones, and the level of the grid may be determined according to a population density of each region included in the map. In the case of a densely populated city center, the grid level is relatively high, whereby each of the plurality of districts is relatively narrow, and the plurality of districts are relatively densely divided. On the other hand, in the case of a mountainous terrain with a low population density, the grid level is relatively low, so that each of the plurality of zones is relatively wide, and the plurality of zones are divided relatively widely. In other words, the downtown area is more densely divided than the mountainous terrain. In general, a higher level of the grating means that the grating is constructed more densely. As such, in order to more accurately determine photos that occur in the same event, it is necessary to distinguish a densely populated area in which the location range of the same event occurs and a low-density area in which the location range in which the same event occurs is relatively wide.

The generator 13 may compare the photographing position of the first picture and the photographing position of the second picture by using the GPS coordinate information. For example, the generating unit 13 determines whether the latitude and longitude coordinates in the GPS coordinates of the first photo are the same or similar to the latitude and longitude coordinates in the GPS coordinates of the second photo, thereby capturing the first photo The position and the photographing position of the second picture may be compared.

The communication unit 12 transmits the generated photo sharing recommendation message to the first device 21 . At this time, the communication unit 12 transmits a photo sharing recommendation message generated through any one of push notification, instant message, SMS, MMS, e-mail, or registration of a photo sharing recommendation message to a social network service to the first device 21 . can be sent to

The generator 13 may generate a photo sharing recommendation message that recommends sharing the photo stored in the second device 22 to the first device 21 . For example, when a picture stored in the first device 21 is a first picture and a picture stored in the second device 22 is a second picture, the generator 13 sends the first picture to the second user. Separately from generating the first photo sharing recommendation message for recommending sharing, a second photo sharing recommendation message for recommending sharing the second photo to the first user may be generated. In this case, the communication unit 12 may transmit a first photo sharing recommendation message to the first device 21 and transmit a second photo sharing recommendation message to the second device 22 .

The generator 13 is a photo sharing recommendation that recommends sharing both the photo stored in the first device 21 and the photo stored in the second device 22 to both the first device 21 and the second device 22 . You can also create messages. In this case, the photo sharing recommendation message includes text recommending sharing both the photo stored in the first device 21 and the photo stored in the second device 22 , information on the photo stored in the first device 21 , Information on the photos stored in the second device 22 , the photographing times of the photos, the photographing locations of the photos, and the like may be included. The communication unit 12 transmits the generated photo sharing recommendation message to each of the first device 21 and the second device 22 .

The generator 13 may transmit the photo sharing request message received from the first device 21 as it is or after editing it to the device 22 of the second user. At this time, the photo sharing request message is transmitted from the first device 21 to the communication unit 12 , and the photo sharing request message includes an identifier for the image data of the photo stored in the first device 21 and the ID of the second user. , information about taking a picture stored in the first device 21 may be included. In addition, the transmitted photo sharing request message is transmitted from the communication unit 12 to the second device 22 , and the photo sharing request message includes a text recommending sharing a photo and a photo stored in the first device 21 . An identifier for the image data of , a photographing time of a picture, and a photographing location of the picture may be included.
