Referring to FIG. 3, an editable video object providing server according to an embodiment may build and maintain an image object database 300 on a memory included in each of a user terminal and a target terminal.

In detail, the editable video object providing server may construct the video object database 300 by matching and storing the plurality of editable video objects 320 and 330 with the plurality of video object IDs 310, respectively. .

In this case, each of the plurality of editable image objects 320 and 330 includes an editable image object image (still image) 320 and a plurality of elements 330 associated with the editable image object image 320. Since the editable video object providing server stores the plurality of editable video object images 320 by matching each of the plurality of video object IDs 310 and stores the plurality of editable video object images 320, respectively. ) The image object database 300 may be constructed by matching and storing the plurality of elements 330 associated with each element with the plurality of element IDs 340, respectively.

Here, each of the plurality of elements 330 means data representing at least one of an expression, an operation, a state, or an environment of each of the plurality of editable image object images 320 which are still images.

For example, the editable video object providing server stores the first editable video object image representing a still image of a person by matching the first video object ID '001' and then stores the first edited video object image. A first-first element representing an associated 'laugh' expression and storing the first-first element corresponding to the first-first element ID '001' and storing the first-second element representing the expression of 'cry' associated with the first edited image object image. To store the first and second element ID '002', and match the first and third elements representing the expression of 'angry' associated with the first editable image object image to the first and second element ID '003'. Can be stored. Here, the first-first element, the first-second element, and the first-third element may be matched with and stored in the first editable image object image.

As such, the plurality of image object IDs 310, the plurality of editable image object images 320, the plurality of elements 330, and the plurality of element IDs 340 stored in the image object database 300 may be provided. All can be designed as XML type schemas. Therefore, the image object database 300 itself is a database that supports an XML-type schema. Since the image object database 300 stores and maintains data designed in the XML-type schema, the image object database 300 may be constructed at a low capacity.

In this case, the editable video object providing server may store a database (database shown in FIG. 2) stored in the server itself by matching the plurality of editable video objects 320 and 330 with the plurality of video object IDs 310, respectively. When the user terminal and the target terminal are registered and registered to use the editable video object service, the database stored in the server itself is copied into the memory of the user terminal and the memory of the target terminal, thereby constructing the user terminal and the target terminal. The target terminal may maintain the same image object database 300.

In addition, the editable image object providing server may update the image object database 300 which is constructed and maintained in each of the user terminal and the target terminal, in the same manner as the above-described process of constructing the image object database 300. The update process may be performed by the editable video object providing server connected to the user terminal and the target terminal by wireless or wired communication, and the data stored in the image object database 300 are all designed in an XML format. As a result, the speed and efficiency of the update process can be increased.

Referring to FIG. 4, the editable video object providing server according to an embodiment may include a video object database included in the user terminal 410 as one of the plurality of editable video objects is edited. Only the extracted image object ID and the obtained edited information 430 corresponding to any one editable image object are transmitted to the target terminal 420.

At this time, the edit information is information indicating how the editable video object is edited and changed in any one editable video object being edited and changed to generate a playable video object. It may be an element ID corresponding to any one selected element included.

For example, in the image object database 411 included in the user terminal 410, a first editable image object image representing a still image of a person is selected, and a 'laugh' associated with the first edited image object image is selected. If the first editable video object has been edited by selecting the 1-1 element representing the facial expression of, the editable video object providing server provides a first video object corresponding to the first editable video object image from the video object database 411. The ID '001' may be extracted, and the first-first element ID '001' corresponding to the first-first element may be obtained as edit information. Accordingly, the editable video object providing server may transmit the ID data 430 of '001001' in which the first video object ID '001' and the 1-1 element ID '001' are combined to the target terminal 420.

Since the video object ID and the editing information 430 are designed in the form of XML, the data volume is very low and can be transmitted and received based on the BiM technique, thereby minimizing the transmission capacity and maximizing the transmission speed. Accordingly, the editable video object providing server satisfies the constraints of the transmission / reception capacity and the transmission / reception speed supported by the user terminal 410 and the target terminal 420, and may provide an editable video object to the target terminal 420.

In response to the target terminal 420 receiving the image object ID and the editing information 430, the editable image object providing server edits corresponding to the image object ID from the image object database 421 included in the target terminal 420. After extracting the type image object (exactly the editable image object image) and applying the editing information to the extracted editable image object (exactly the editable image object image), after generating the reproduction image object, the target terminal ( 420.

Here, the application of the editing information to the editable video object may be performed by applying at least one of a facial expression, an action, a state, or an environment indicated by an element corresponding to an element ID, which is the edit information, to the editable video object image. This means that the moving content data is generated as a playable image object.

For example, as described in the above example, the ID data 430 of '001001' in which the first image object ID '001' and the 1-1 element ID '001' are combined is transmitted to the target terminal 420. In response, the editable video object providing server extracts a first editable video object image representing a still image of a 'person' corresponding to the first video object ID '001' from the video object database 421, and first-first-first. 1 After selecting the 1-1 element representing the expression of 'laugh' corresponding to the element ID '001', the expression of the 1-1 element 'laugh' is applied to the 'person' which is the first editable video object image. As a result, the reproduction type video object that is the content of which the person is smiling may be generated and provided to the target terminal 420.

Referring to FIG. 5, in response to a user manual edit input 511 generated on a user interface 510 provided by a user terminal, the editable video object providing server according to an embodiment may include a plurality of editable video objects ( One of 521, 522, 523, 524, and 525 may be selected and edited.

Here, a plurality of editable video objects 521, 522, 523, 524, and 525 are displayed on the manual editing user interface 520, so that the user can directly select and edit any editable video object. Can support

More specifically, for example, the first editable image object image 521 representing a still image of 'person' and the second editable image object image representing a still image of 'bear' displayed in the manual editing user interface 520. The first editable video object image 521 is selected by a user selection input of 525, and the first-first element 522 indicating an expression of 'laugh' associated with the first editable video object image 521. When the first-first element 522 is selected by a user selection input from the first-second element 523 representing the expression of anger and the third element 524 representing the expression of crying, The editable video object providing server changes the first editable video object image 521 based on the selected first-first element 522 to display a playable video object that is 'content smiling by a person' (not shown in the drawing). ) To be provided to the user terminal. There.

At this time, the editable video object providing server reproduces the reproduced video object generated by editing the editable video objects 521 and 522 on the user interface of the user terminal, so that the user of the user terminal can directly check the editing result. can do

Referring to FIG. 6, the editable video object providing server according to another exemplary embodiment responds to the video object automatic generation input 611 generated on the user interface 610 provided by the user terminal, and uses the user terminal. Editing of any one of a plurality of editable image objects based on the at least one information obtained by obtaining at least one of position information, environmental information, body sensing information, schedule information or image object usage history information of the You can select and edit video objects.

For example, when a user input is generated from the 'auto generation' button 611 displayed on the user interface 610, the editable image object providing server may load the auto generation user interface 620 into the user terminal. . Here, in the auto-generated user interface 620, any editable image object is edited and generated based on the user's location information and the user's location information and the body sensing information 621 along with the user's location information and body sensing information 621. The playback image object 622 may be displayed.

More specifically, when the location information of the user indicates 'North Seoul forest' and the heart rate, which is the user's body sensing information, is '150', the editable video object providing server recognizes that the user is currently exercising and the user After selecting one image object image related to 'movement' from the image object database included in the terminal and recognizing that the current location of the user is 'North Seoul forest', the user selects one element representing the environment of 'forest' , By automatically applying one of the elements representing the environment of the 'forest' to any one of the image object image associated with the 'selected movement', automatically generating a reproducible image object 622, which is 'content that the person is exercising in the forest' The display may be displayed on the user interface 620 of the user terminal.

Referring to FIG. 7, in response to a user input generated on a user interface 711 provided by the user terminal 710, the editable video object providing server according to an embodiment may edit an edited video object.
