1 is a configuration diagram of a free content provision system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The free content provision system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a content provider server 10, an advertiser server 20, an operator server 30, a communication network 40, a communication company server 50, and a subscriber terminal 60. do.

The content provider server 10 can provide various types of content to the operator server 30. The content provider server 10 may provide the content after producing it itself, or it may provide the content to the operator server 30 after receiving the content from one or more outsourced content creators.

The advertiser server 20 can provide various types of advertisements to the operator server 30. The advertiser server 20 may provide the advertisement after producing it itself, or may provide the advertisement to the operator server 30 after receiving the advertisement from one or more outsourced advertisement producers. Here, the advertisement may refer to a video or flash advertisement that is played for a certain period of time.

The operator server 30 receives content from the content provider server 10, advertisements from the advertiser server 20, and subscriber information (e.g., gender, name, resident registration number, ID, password, and video) from the subscriber terminal 60. (including content viewing information). Here, video content means a combination of advertisements (including customized advertisements) and content. And, the video content viewing information includes, for example, video content viewing time and content desired to be viewed.

The operator server 30 provides video content (e.g., video content within 10 minutes) that combines content from the content provider server 10 and advertisements (e.g., advertisements of about 10 to 30 seconds) from the advertiser server 20 ( In other words, free video content) can be created. At this time, the operator server 30 combines an advertisement suitable for the subscriber with content based on subscriber information from the subscriber terminal 60. For example, if the content you want to watch is sports and your gender is male, you can combine it with an advertisement for a razor. If the content you want to watch is a drama and your gender is female, you can combine cosmetics advertisements or clothing advertisements from the drama. Of course, if you are a college student and choose Friday, you can combine an advertisement for a new movie.

Meanwhile, the operator server 30 can analyze content that subscribers continuously view and combine appropriate customized advertisements therewith. The analysis of content and the combination of appropriate customized advertisements may be an analysis and combination processing program (not shown) or a matching program (not shown) that can process the process through programming.

In addition, the operator server 30 transmits the generated video content to the subscriber before the time desired by the subscriber when the communication network 40 (e.g., includes an LTE network, a Wi-Fi network, and other mobile communication networks) is idle (e.g., early morning hours). ) is used to transmit it to the corresponding subscriber terminal (60) free of charge through the telecommunication company server (50). In this way, if video content is sent for free in advance during times when the communication network 40 is off-peak, congestion of the communication network 40 can be prevented and data consumption by subscribers can be prevented. In addition, the telecommunication company server 50 will also benefit because it can utilize times when there is little network use. Among the above terms, off-peak hours refer to times when the traffic volume is relatively low through data that is stored by analyzing the measurable traffic volume generated during line use by the telecommunication company by time zone, and the analysis and management of this can be processed programmatically. It is configurable to do so.

Of course, the operator server 30 can transmit video content for free in real time if the subscriber can use the Wi-Fi network, regardless of the time when the communication network 40 is idle.

In addition, in order to activate the free video content service, the operator server 30 provides approximately 1 GB (approximately 1 hour of data) that each subscriber can use for free on the LTE network (not limited to this, but may be other mobile communication networks) per day. Video playback time) data can be provided free of charge. This is provided in addition to the amount of data set by the subscriber as a monthly fee by subscribing to the telecommunication company server 50. As a result, subscribers will be able to use approximately 30GB more data per month for free.

The telecommunication company server (50, but not limited to this; in this embodiment, it is described as being serviced through the telecommunication company server, but it can also be said to be a transmission server of a company that specializes only in transmitting other data) from the operator server 30. The provided video content (i.e., free video content) is transmitted to the subscriber terminal 60 before the time desired by the subscriber, utilizing a time period when the communication network 40 is free. Accordingly, the telecommunication company server 50 can directly receive advertising revenue or receive network usage fees for transmitting video content (i.e., free video content).

Meanwhile, the subscriber clicks on the list of files (not shown) indicated by the operator as being available for providing a timetable (scheduling table) of 1 day, 1 month, or more, or the list of files provided by the operator through the content provider's schedule table. If you select and set a file list at a specific time by day, month, or year, based on the set information, the operator can send the file in advance if it is a file that has been completed and can be viewed online, and if it is today, it can be sent in advance. In the case of files scheduled to be provided tomorrow, a week, several months, or a year later, the file can be sent at a time set by the subscriber after the time when the file can actually be provided. In the present invention, the files provided free of charge at a desired time are not broadcast content files viewed in real time, but video music files or MP3 music files, or content files processed by the operator (for example, watching the day's news at work time, etc.) ), or it can be a pre-produced movie guide broadcast file.

Meanwhile, in the case of files transmitted to the subscriber, they may be set not to be played or operated on specific days and at specific times depending on the characteristics of the subscriber (for example, in the case of students, during class hours or class hours or after 10 p.m. does not play.).

Meanwhile, the subscriber selects the file list, but in the case of the file to be provided, if the contents of the file are broadcast in real time, it is sent with the subscriber's permission (a message is sent to the subscriber asking if he/she would like to receive the file for a fee and permission is received). ) Of course, it is possible to provide it for a fee.

The subscriber terminal 60 can connect to the operator server 30 and the communication company server 50 through the communication network 40. The subscriber terminal 60 is an electronic device capable of playing advertisements and content, and may include terminals such as a smartphone, laptop, tablet PC, PDA, and desktop PC.

From the perspective of the subscriber terminal 60, the subscriber can receive content free of charge in exchange for viewing advertisements without consuming the subscriber's data. In other words, the subscriber can watch the content for free only by watching advertisements. Additionally, an ad skip function could be added for content not requested by the subscriber. For example, a skip function can be added to an introduction video of a movie that an advertiser wants to show to a specific subscriber.

FIG. 2 is an internal configuration diagram of the operator server shown in FIG. 1. The operator server 30 shown in FIG. 1 may be referred to as a free content providing device.

The operator server 30 includes a reception unit 31, an advertisement storage unit 32, a content storage unit 33, a subscriber information storage unit 34, a control unit 35, an advertisement and content combination unit 36, and a transmission unit. Includes (37).

The receiving unit 31 receives content from the content provider server 10, advertisements from the advertiser server 20, and subscriber information (e.g., gender, name, resident registration number, ID, password, and video content) from the subscriber terminal 60. (including viewing information) can be received.

The advertisement storage unit 32 may store advertisements from the advertiser server 20 received by the reception unit 31.

The content storage unit 33 may store the content received from the content provider server 10 in the reception unit 31 .

The subscriber information storage unit 34 can store subscriber information from the subscriber terminal 60 received by the reception unit 31.

The control unit 35 may control the advertisement and content combination unit 36 to combine content from the content provider server 10 and an advertisement (for example, an advertisement of approximately 10 to 30 seconds) from the advertiser server 20. . At this time, the control unit 35 controls to combine an advertisement suitable for the subscriber with content based on subscriber information from the subscriber terminal 60.

Of course, the control unit 35 can analyze the content that the subscriber continuously views and control it to combine appropriate customized advertisements.

The advertisement and content combination unit 36 combines advertisements (or customized advertisements) and content under the control of the control unit 35.

On the other hand, factors considered when combining (or matching) advertising and content may be, for example, gender, age, occupation, region, hobbies, frequently viewed videos, and preferred videos, and advertisers may use the relevant factors. You can select subscribers based on at least two factors by prioritizing them and request that advertisements be sent only to the selected subscribers. Of course, the priority and number of parameters can be adjusted, and through these adjustments, the number of subscribers to whom advertisements will be sent can be increased or decreased.

The transmission unit 37 provides video content (i.e., free video content) resulting from the combination in the advertisement and content combining unit 36 to the subscriber terminal 60 free of charge through the telecommunication company server 50. At this time, the transmission unit 37 transmits the video content for free through the telecommunication company server 50 before the time desired by the subscriber, utilizing a time when the communication network 40 is free. Here, if the subscriber can use the Wi-Fi network, the transmission unit 37 can transmit video content in real time for free, regardless of the time when the communication network 40 is idle.

Meanwhile, the combined result is not limited to video content and may be other text files or files of other protocols. The data structure of the result file essentially includes an advertisement file, a desired video, or a file of a desired protocol, and may include subscriber information and other log data. The size is preferably about 100 Mbytes. In the present invention, about 10 files are provided free of charge to subscribers, so users can view their preferred files for free along with advertisements for each type. Meanwhile, when transmitting a user's preferred file, free advertising can be used to send a series of advertisements from a specific company sequentially (for example, a specific company produces advertisements consisting of a story format or a continuous story format and sends them continuously). In this case, the advertiser can request the subscribers he or she wants in advance from the operator and request that a series of advertisements be sent to those subscribers.) In this case, the subscriber can send the advertisement with anticipation and without feeling burdened. You can enjoy the content files you requested while watching the series.

This time, a method of providing free content according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3. Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of content that can be provided to a subscriber terminal.

First, the subscriber terminal 60 provides consent for the free video content service to the telecommunication company server 50 (S10).
