2 shows a flow chart of a method for providing a content list from the server 120 perspective according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As can be seen in Figure 2, in the method of providing a content list from the viewpoint of the server 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 120 divides a plurality of content by unit period according to predetermined valid content calculation criteria. In step S110 of calculating effective content for each unit period, the server 120 calculates representative content for each unit period according to a predetermined representative content calculation standard for each unit period. Unit period representative content calculation step (S120) and the server 120 transmits the first summary list display information for the representative content to the terminal 110, to the user for each of the upper periods consisting of a plurality of unit periods. It is characterized in that it includes a step of providing a list of upper period summary contents to provide a first summary list including representative contents of the unit period (S130).

Furthermore, in the content list providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2 , the server 120 performs a first unit period corresponding to representative content selected by the user from the first summary list. Providing a list of valid contents for a unit period of transmitting valid contents list display information for some or all of the available contents to the terminal 110 to provide the user with a list of valid contents for the first unit period (S140) may also include

Accordingly, in the method, apparatus, and computer program for providing a content list according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, the user's images or videos are classified according to a predetermined period and according to a predetermined criterion. By selecting and providing effective content, the user can more quickly and conveniently search for a plurality of contents such as photos and videos and process the desired task, and also the computational resources required to search for the plurality of contents such as photos and videos. And network traffic is reduced and more efficient processing is possible.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the content list providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention is divided into stages and reviewed in detail.

First, in the unit period valid content calculation step (S110), the server 120 divides a plurality of contents by unit period and calculates the valid content for each unit period according to a predetermined valid content calculation criterion.

For a more specific example, the user can store content such as photos or videos taken using the terminal 110 such as a smartphone in the database 125 or the like using a cloud service of a service provider. .

However, the content stored in the database 125 may continuously increase in proportion to the period of use, which makes it inconvenient for the user to search for necessary content from the plurality of stored content and process the desired task. As can be followed, in the content list providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the user's content is classified according to a predetermined period, and valid content is selected and provided according to a predetermined criterion, so that the user can view a plurality of contents more easily. You can navigate quickly and conveniently to effectively handle the tasks you want.

To this end, in the step of calculating valid content for the unit period (S110), the server 120 first divides the plurality of contents for each unit period. That is, the server 120 divides the plurality of contents stored in the database 125 and the like for each predetermined unit period (eg, daily unit).

For a more specific example, when the user's content stored in the database 125 includes 3000 photos and 500 videos created in the period from January 2018 to June 2020, the server 120 ) may divide the 3500 contents for each predetermined unit period (here, one day).

Next, the server 120 calculates valid content for each unit period according to a predetermined valid content calculation criterion for the content classified for each unit period. (For example, among the 3500 contents, among the 20 contents created on February 29, 2020, 12 valid contents according to the valid contents calculation criteria are calculated)

In this case, the effective content calculation criterion may be based on whether or not the content is directly photographed by the user.

Accordingly, the server 120 may determine whether the content is captured by the user by using metadata such as an exchangeable image file format (EXIF) of the content. However, this is an embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto.

Furthermore, the server 120 may exclude the content from valid content when there is no EXIF information or model information of a photographing device. In this case, contents such as pictures or videos taken by the user may be effectively calculated as effective contents, excluding screenshots or images generated by downloading the user. In addition, the server 120 may also identify text photos and the like and exclude them from the valid content.

In addition, in the step of calculating valid content for the unit period (S110), a photo of a person can be identified and calculated as valid content, and furthermore, a photo of a specific person (eg, user) set in advance is identified and calculated as valid content with priority. It is also possible to do

Furthermore, it is possible to identify whether the photo is shaken and to exclude it from valid content if the photo contains shake.

In addition, in the unit period representative content calculation step (S120), the server 120 calculates the representative content for each unit period according to a predetermined representative content calculation standard for each unit period.

For a more specific example, in the previous embodiment, the server 120 calculates representative content for each unit period according to a predetermined representative content calculation standard for each unit period (eg, 2020 Representative contents are calculated for each of February 1st to February 29th belonging to February).

At this time, the server 120 first divides the plurality of contents by unit period and selects the content first uploaded to the server 120 for each unit period as the cover content for the unit period, and then in each unit period The representative content for each unit period may be calculated based on whether or not the cover content for the effective content is satisfied. However, this is an embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto.

In addition, for example, in the previous embodiment, the server 120 selects the content uploaded first among the 10 contents generated on February 29, 2020 as the cover content for February 29, 2020. Then, if the cover content corresponds to the valid content according to the valid content calculation criterion, it can be calculated as the representative content for February 29, 2020.

Alternatively, a user may designate a specific content among contents generated in a specific unit period as the cover content for the unit period.

In addition, when the cover content does not satisfy the effective content calculation criteria, it is determined whether all content generated in the unit period sequentially satisfies the effective content calculation criteria based on creation time, etc. It can also be calculated as representative content.

In this case, if representative content cannot be calculated because all contents of a specific unit period do not satisfy the effective content calculation criterion, the summary contents list may be provided excluding the specific unit period.

Accordingly, in the previous embodiment, the server 120 can calculate up to 29 representative contents for each unit period of February 2020 (February 1 to 29, 2020).

Then, in the step of providing a list of upper period summary content (S130), the server 120 transmits the first summary list display information for the representative content to the terminal 110, and provides the user with a higher level consisting of a plurality of unit periods. For each period, a first summary list including representative contents of each unit period is provided. means the list provided.

In addition, the first summary list display information is information for displaying the first summary list for the representative content, and may be a thumbnail image of a photo or video, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto.

Accordingly, the server 120 transmits the first summary list display information, such as a thumbnail image of the previously calculated representative content, to the terminal 110, and the terminal 110 transmits the first summary list, such as the thumbnail image A first summary list including representative contents of each unit period with respect to the upper period is provided to the user using the display information.

For a more specific example, in the previous embodiment, the server 120 calculates each of the upper periods consisting of a plurality of unit periods (eg, an upper period of one month including a plurality of unit periods of one day). First summary list display information, such as thumbnail images of representative contents for a unit period, is transmitted to the terminal 110 (for example, calculated for February 1 to February 29 belonging to February 2020, respectively Send thumbnail images of representative contents).

Accordingly, in the terminal 110, as can be seen in FIG. 4(a), each unit period belonging to the upper period (February 2020 in FIG. 4(a)) (from February 1, 2020 to 2 29 of the month), it is possible to provide a first summary list including representative contents.

Furthermore, in the step of providing a list of summary contents of the upper period (S130), when there are a plurality of representative contents for a specific unit period, it is also possible to sequentially replace and provide the plurality of representative contents.

In addition, in the step of providing a valid content list for the unit period (S140), the server 120 provides validity for some or all of the valid content for the first unit period corresponding to the representative content selected by the user from the first summary list. Content list display information is transmitted to the terminal 110 to provide the user with a valid content list for the first unit period.

Here, the valid content list refers to a list that provides valid content by classifying it for each unit period so that the user can more easily view the valid content for each unit period.

In addition, the valid content list display information is information for displaying the valid content list, and may be a thumbnail image of a photo or video, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto.

For a more specific example, when the user selects a specific representative content from the first summary list (eg, 410 in FIG. 4(a)), the server 120 corresponds to the first unit period (FIG. 4). (a) on February 29, 2020) of valid content list display information (for example, 12 thumbnail images for 12 valid content calculated in the previous embodiment) to the terminal 110 will be sent to

Accordingly, as can be seen in FIG. 4(b), the terminal 110 uses the valid content list display information such as the thumbnail image to inform the user of the first unit period (2020 in FIG. 4(b)). February 29) will provide a list of valid contents.

In addition, in the method for providing a content list according to an embodiment of the present invention, as can be seen in FIG. 5 , the server 120 performs second representative content for each upper period according to a predetermined second representative content calculation criterion. and the server 120 transmits the second summary list display information for the second representative content to the terminal 110, and the server 120 transmits to the user about the re-higher period The method may further include a step of providing a list of summary contents of a higher period ( S220 ) to provide a second summary list including second representative contents of each higher period.

At this time, first, in the step of calculating the representative content of the higher period (S210), the server 120 calculates the second representative content for each higher period according to a predetermined second representative content calculation criterion.

For a more specific example, in the previous embodiment, the server 120 calculates the second representative content for each upper period according to a predetermined second representative content calculation criterion (e.g., January 2020). Calculate the second representative content for each month through December).

At this time, the server 120 may calculate the cover content for each upper period as the second representative content based on the most preceding cover content that satisfies the valid content calculation criterion among the cover contents for each unit period ( For example, among the cover contents for the unit period of February 1 to 29, 2020, the cover contents of February 1, which precedes the most while satisfying the valid content calculation criterion, are selected for the second month of 2020. calculated as the second representative content). However, this is an embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto.

Subsequently, in the step of providing a summary content list for the re-higher level period (S220), the server 120 transmits second summary list display information for the second representative content to the terminal 110, and provides the user with a plurality of higher level content lists. A second summary list including second representative contents of each upper period is provided for the re-higher period composed of periods.

Here, the second summary list refers to a list providing second representative content for the upper period selected so that the user can more easily view the content of the re-higher period.

In addition, the second summary list display information is information for displaying a list of the second representative content, and may be a thumbnail image of a photo or video, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto.

Accordingly, the server 120 transmits second summary list display information, such as a thumbnail image for the previously calculated second representative content, to the terminal 110, and the terminal 110 transmits the second summary list display information, such as the thumbnail image, etc. Using the summary list display information, a second summary list including second representative content for each upper period is provided to the user for a re-higher period consisting of a plurality of higher periods.

For a more specific example, in the terminal 110, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), each higher period (12 from January 2020) belonging to the re-upper period (2020 in FIG. 6 (a)) It is possible to provide a second summary list including second representative content for month).

Furthermore, in the content list providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the user selects a specific second representative content from the second summary list (eg, 610 in FIG. 6(a)), the server 120 ) transmits the first summary list display information for the representative content of each unit period belonging to the upper period corresponding to the selected second representative content to the terminal, and provides the user with the upper period as shown in FIG. 6(b). A first summary list of representative contents for each unit period to which they belong may be provided.

Accordingly, in the content list providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, each unit period (eg, 1 day), upper period (eg, 1 month) as well as a re-higher period (eg, By forming a hierarchical structure such as 1 year) and selecting and providing effective contents and representative contents, the user can search a plurality of contents more quickly and conveniently and process desired tasks.

In addition, in the content list providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7(a), the user selects a specific valid content from the valid content list of the valid content for each unit period provided to the terminal 110. If (710 in FIG. 7(a)), it is possible to enter a viewer for the selected valid content.

Furthermore, as can be seen in FIG. 7(b), the viewer may provide a menu so that the user can perform desired tasks such as a sharing function or a download function for the valid content.

In addition, in the content list providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7(c), when the user selects a specific menu provided to the terminal 110 (720 in FIG. 7(a)) , the server 120 may provide the entire list without classifying the user's contents.

In addition, in the content list providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, in the step of providing a valid content list for the unit period (S140), a plurality of contents that meet a predetermined similarity criterion among the valid contents for the unit period are selected in advance. Depending on the format, similar content can be grouped and displayed.

For a more specific example, when there are a plurality of similar contents that satisfy a predetermined similarity criterion, as can be seen in FIG. After grouping similar contents and displaying only one representative content (810 in FIG. 8(a)), the number of similar contents may be displayed together with the one representative content (820 in FIG. 8(a)).

In this case, as the similarity criterion, the photographing time and similarity of the content may be digitized, and if the numerical value satisfies a predetermined reference value, it may be determined as similar content.

Furthermore, when the user selects the similar content from the available content list (810 in FIG. 8(a)), the server 120 may unpack and display a plurality of contents belonging to the similar content according to a predetermined format. (eg, FIG. 8(b)).

At this time, as shown in FIG. 8(b), the plurality of contents belonging to the similar contents display representative contents for the similar contents in a viewer, and display a plurality of contents belonging to the similar contents in a lower area thereof. Contents can be displayed together (840 in FIG. 8(b)).

Furthermore, the user can conveniently compare and check a plurality of contents belonging to the similar contents by swiping or the like.

Accordingly, in the present invention, it is possible to efficiently improve the problem of displaying a plurality of similar contents and making it inconvenient for a user to search for a plurality of contents.

In addition, in the content list providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, in the step of providing a valid content list for the unit period (S140), in consideration of the maximum display number criterion determined according to the number of valid contents for the unit period, Valid content displayed in the valid content list may be selected.

For a more specific example, if the number of valid contents for the unit period (1 day) is 50 or less, the maximum number of displays is 12, if it is 100 or less, 24, and if it is 200 or more, the maximum value of 48 The criterion for the maximum number of displays may be set.

In addition, in the step of providing a list of content valid for the unit period (S140), a first ratio (eg, 30%) of the maximum number of displays is selected as the similar content, and a second ratio (eg, 10%) is selected. It is also possible to select valid content displayed in the valid content list according to a predetermined ratio standard, such as selecting content set by the user as a favorite, and selecting a third rate (eg, 10%) as a video. have.

Furthermore, in the step of providing a valid content list for the unit period (S140), valid content displayed in the valid content list may be selected in consideration of a time interval of the valid content for the unit period.

For a more specific example, by allowing the valid content to be selected evenly within the unit period based on the time interval (eg, so that the valid content can be selected evenly at intervals of 1 hour), the user can select a specific time period. It is not limited to valid content, but it is possible to conveniently search by abbreviating various valid content according to time zone.

In addition, in the step of providing a valid content list for the unit period (S140), it is possible to adjust the display size of the valid content of the valid content list in consideration of the number of valid content displayed in the valid content list.

In addition, in the method for providing a content list according to an embodiment of the present invention, in the step of providing a list of content lists summarized in the upper period (S130), the server 120 transmits the first summary list display information to the terminal 110. In doing so, representative contents displayed on the screen of the terminal 110 may be selected from among representative contents of each unit period and transmitted in real time.

Furthermore, the server 120 can search and provide necessary information in real time using a combination of the number and type of content displayed on the screen of the terminal 110, thereby reducing computational resources and network traffic required. Reduced and efficient processing is possible.

In addition, in the content list providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, in the step of providing a summary content list of the upper period (S130), when an album including a plurality of contents captured in the upper period exists, the first Representative contents for the album are also provided in the summary list, and when the user selects the album in the first summary list, a plurality of contents included in the album are provided, so that the album created by the user is more conveniently provided. You can explore and get things done.

In addition, in the method for providing a content list according to an embodiment of the present invention, in the step of providing a list of re-higher period summary content (S220), the user continues to view one second representative content of the second summary list for a predetermined time or longer. When the selection is made, it is also possible to provide a list of representative contents for an upper period corresponding to the second representative content while the selection is continued (eg, corresponding to February 2020 in FIG. 6 (a) When the user touches the second representative content 610 for 1 second or longer, the first representative content included in February 2020 of FIG. 6 (b) is provided in the form of a window while the user continues the touch state) .

Furthermore, in the content list providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the terminal 110 includes various types of terminals 110 such as personal PCs as shown in FIG. 9 as well as portable terminals such as smart phones. It is also possible to implement using
