More specifically, the user directly owns and creates or creates a social network. Through video clips owned by a plurality of other users who have a relationship with the user through a single stream according to individual interests or a specific topic, the video clips are displayed in a timeline, and each video clip in the stream is preset at a predetermined scale independently of the playback time. In addition to viewing, you can quickly scroll to the position of the video clip you want by scrolling left or right, regardless of the size or time of the screen. Each combined into a stream The present invention relates to a timeline-based social network service providing system that provides a user's response to a video clip of a user or collects a response of other users.

Recent statistics show that more than 90 percent of the world's data is generated within two years, of which 80 percent is video or images. In addition, the traffic generated in the mobile environment using a smart phone, etc. is gradually increasing, a large portion of the traffic is used to consume video.

As such, the consumption of video contents is mostly watched on TV in accordance with the time when a desired program is aired or rented media such as video tape, video CD, or DVD directly, and the borrowed storage media is watched through a dedicated playback device. Was the way. In addition, due to the development of communication technology, video contents can be downloaded and viewed on the storage device of a terminal, and thus, video contents can be somewhat freed from the limitation of time and place. Has a problem that it takes a long time to download a large file.

In addition, the network, multimedia, communication terminal, platform technology, etc. has been rapidly developed in the present, and video content can be stored and utilized in a virtual space on the network called cloud. Accordingly, users can enjoy various video contents anytime, anywhere, regardless of time, playback device, or place.

In addition, as streaming technology, which is one of the methods of transmitting and playing multimedia files such as video and video transmission technology in chunks, has been developed, users can download the video content and simultaneously download the video content. You can play. Therefore, it is possible to greatly reduce the waiting time for the user to use the video content, and as a result, the consumption of the video content is greatly increased. That is, a playback apparatus capable of watching TV at a time when a desired program is broadcast, or having a storage medium (eg, a video tape, a CD, a DVD, etc.) storing video contents as in the past, and playing back the provided media Rather than watching through a terminal such as a PC, smart phone, such as YouTube (YouTube), SNS, it is possible to watch video content online in real time online.

In addition, with the proliferation of wireless communication terminals such as smart devices, the consumption of video content is rapidly increasing regardless of time and place, and thus competition among providers of video content that serves video content is getting fierce.

In addition, users who use video contents interact with other users in real time using functions such as comments and comments in using the video contents rather than simply watching the video contents that the video contents provider produces and supplies the video contents. We want to participate directly in the video content itself, such as reproducing new video content from the video content through a function such as a bookmark.

In addition, in the past, the navigation bar, which is based on the playback time, commonly referred to as time bar or seek bar, is abbreviated as the playback time ratio of the video. Finally, there was an inconvenience of searching for a part of a desired video.

In addition, in the past, video content was produced as a single stream, and short videos were not collected and generated according to a specific theme. Accordingly, each user may use various servers or SNSs to check videos of a desired topic. There was a hassle of searching and checking the distributed video.

In particular, in the case of users using social network services, most social network services currently use texts, photos, and short images to form social relationships with each other. Because they do not provide a service to collect information from them, they do not interact with other users in real time while directly participating in the video contents and using functions such as comments and comments.

Therefore, in the present invention, search based on short videos between users who form a social relationship in accordance with the video content consumption situation of users who change to a fun and short video-oriented viewing for killing time rather than an intended viewing in a mobile environment We will present social network services that can communicate while performing communication, communication and evaluation.

In addition, the present invention collects video clips owned and created by the user or other users who have social relationships with the user through a social network, and display the video clips in a timeline according to individual interests or specific topics.

Hereinafter, a timeline-based social network service providing system of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As those skilled in the art would realize, the described embodiments may be modified in various different ways, all without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Like parts are designated by like reference numerals throughout the specification.

1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an operation process of a timeline-based social network service providing system to which the present invention is applied, and FIGS. 2 to 11 are individual interests or particulars of a timeline-based user applied to the social network service of the present invention. FIG. 10 is a diagram for describing in detail the contents of combining, using, and managing video clips generated as one stream according to a subject.

As shown in FIG. 1, in a platform server that combines, uses, and manages a plurality of video clips according to a user's personal interest or a specific topic selected by a user, a video clip that each user directly creates or creates or holds. It stores and manages video clips owned by a plurality of other users who have relationships with users in a database (①). In other words, the platform server generates, collects, and manages short images with a specific theme possessed by each user who uses SNS and other users who have social relationships with the user.

At this time, the platform server provides a social network service (SNS) that can exchange various opinions with each other by using text, images, and short cut images (video clips) on a network of a plurality of users. Accordingly, the platform server is based on various video clips that combine social network services, which have been limited to existing texts, images, and short cuts (video clips), into a single stream based on the user's personal interests or specific themes. It can be expanded to be able to record or talk.

In addition, each user can combine several video clips into one stream from the platform server according to the user's personal interests or specific themes from the platform server through user terminals such as smart phones, tablets, and note PCs. A user interface device (for example, an application or an editing program for performing editing and playback) may be provided and used. The user interface device provides a simple information that notifies the current position within the entire video as in a conventional general playback program. In addition, the user interface device quickly uses the timeline to quickly position the video clip for each section located before, after, or below the current position. And provide additional functionality that allows users to provide their information to other users on the timeline or to collect information from other users.

As such, a platform server that stores and manages video clips created or owned by each user in a database and video clips owned by a plurality of other users who have a social relationship with the user is provided with a video from a user terminal connected through a network. It is determined whether keywords related to individual interests or a specific topic are selected for combining clips (②).

As a result of determination, if a user's personal interest or a specific theme is selected to combine the video clips to create a stream, the platform server directly generates or extracts video clips related to the personal interest or the specific theme selected by the user (3) ). In other words, each user by using a camera and a user interface device provided in the user terminal, the image produced directly, the image owned by each user, the image possessed by other users having a social relationship with the user or a combination thereof It is to generate or extract a video clip that is an image that includes.

The platform server combines the video clips created or owned by the user and the video clips owned by other users into a single stream according to the user's personal interests or specific topics selected by the user (④), and each according to the user's personal interests or specific topics. It manages by storing the combined stream of video clips in the database (⑤). That is, as shown in FIG. 2, each video clip corresponding to a user's personal interest or a specific subject is collected and displayed on the timeline.

At this time, when each video clip according to a user's personal interest or a specific topic is collected and combined into a single stream, the platform server displays each video clip by date, latest, recommendation, popularity, relevance, or the like. Based on these combinations can be aligned and combined.

In addition, when the platform server collects each video clip according to a user's personal interest or a specific subject and combines them into a single stream, as shown in FIG. One video section can be managed by combining themes, or a limited timeline stream video that can only be made by a friend of mine can be managed.

In addition, when the platform server collects each video clip according to a user's personal interest or a specific subject and combines them into a single stream, the platform server applies a filter, inserts music, cuts a section, sets a speed, inputs meta information, and inputs for each video clip. Additional editing features can be provided, including sharing services, decorating with separate applications or items, or a combination of these.

In addition, when the platform server collects individual video clips according to a user's personal interest or a specific subject and combines them into one stream, the platform server is released only at a specific time zone and becomes private at other times based on a user's selection, or When a predetermined time has elapsed since the initial creation by the selection of a, it may further provide a function to be made private or deleted.

Timeline information is included in each video clip related to a user's personal interest or a specific subject combined into a single stream. In other words, users who use video clips combined into one stream according to their personal interests or specific subjects through SNS can check and display the video clips for each section on a predetermined scale independently of the playback time. Includes the ability to quickly scroll to the desired video position by scrolling left or right or up and down without limiting size or time, and to allow users to provide their information to others on the timeline or to collect information from other users. It is to let. This enables social network services to record and communicate through video, such as video clips, away from traditional methods based on text or images. As a stream, the output is divided into timelines, and a plurality of users can provide their own information in real time or collect information of other users in each section separated by the timeline.

Now, as each user using SNS combines video clips of the user's personal interests or a specific subject into a single stream, and stores and manages the stream where the video clips are combined in a database, the platform server uses the SNS through the network. It is determined whether the reproduction and the use of a specific stream are selected from each user terminal using a.

If it is determined that the playback and use of a particular stream is selected from the user terminal in relation to a user's personal interest or a specific subject, the platform server plays and uses the specific stream in which the at least one video clip selected by the user is combined. (I.e. play the video clip for each section, search for the video clip using the timeline information, display and collect user response information, and provide related information related to the video clip) (⑥). In this case, each video clip played in the user terminal is preferably provided in a streaming form, but is not limited thereto. The video clip played in the user terminal may be provided in a form used after downloading a video clip of a corresponding section.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1, after a specific user (User # 1) uploads the combined video clips according to a subject of interest to the platform server, another user (ie, User # 1) associated with User # 1 using the SNS service. Friends of) or users who are not associated with user # 1 (i.e., other users who are unknown to user # 1) can play, search, and access video clips that they have combined on a specific topic uploaded by specific user # 1 through their own device. To make it possible.

For example, each user can play each video clip combined into one stream according to individual interests or a specific subject through an interface device displayed on the screen of the user terminal, or scroll back and forth or up and down based on timeline information. The user can search the video clip for each section, check user response information related to the video clip for each section, provide direct opinions, or check related information related to the video clip for each section. In this case, the user response information includes emotion expressions including bookmarks, recommendations, stickers, and emoticons for each section of video clips combined according to individual interests or specific topics, comments including text and video comments, and resharing by other users. And reprocessing or a combination thereof, wherein the related information includes text, images, videos, URLs, events, bulletins, voting associated with regions of each section of video clips combined according to a user's personal interest or a particular subject. Information including a purchase link or a combination thereof.

In the meantime, the platform server collects user response information when the user response information changes in the process of using each video clip combined into one stream according to the user's individual interests or a specific theme in each user terminal. Quantify by step and synchronize the quantified user response information to the video clip of the interval.

As described above in detail with reference to FIGS. 5 to 11, a detailed use process of video clips combined into one stream according to a user's personal interest or a specific theme is as follows.

After the SNS user connects to the platform server through the network, as shown in Fig. 5, the stream which is combined with the video clips about the 'Saipan' topic posted by other users on his or her SNS account is selected (or via the search box). (You can also enter Saipan as the subject you are interested in.), The platform server loads the combined stream of video clips about the selected Saipan theme from the database into the user's terminal, and the user terminal is associated with the Saipan theme. Play back video clips of the weather, restaurants, clothing or festivals. In this case, video clips related to the Saipan theme are not limited to playback time, and a timeline function is provided to independently search the video clip by displaying them on a predetermined scale independently.

When a tag included in a specific video clip is clicked from a user terminal using video clips combined into one stream according to individual interests or a specific topic, the tag is moved to a stream generated based on contents related to the tag. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when a user clicks on a specific tag for 'flower dress' in the process of checking a video clip related to the 'Saipan' theme, the user may combine other 'flower dress' tag based on the subject. Is converted to a stream.

In addition, in each user terminal, as shown in FIG. 7, the user selects only a desired section through view type selection such as overall view, uploader setting section, user popularity section, etc., in a combined video clip according to individual interests or specific topics. Can be. For example, the full view is to view the video uploaded by the user as a full-time video, the uploader section view only sees the specific section set by the uploader when uploading the video clip, and the user popular view is the response of all users. , See only high-response segments (for example, like clicks, scraps, and lots of comments).

In addition, FIG. 8 illustrates a communication process through user response information for each section of a video clip that is combined into one stream according to individual interests or specific topics, and includes a specific section of each video clip that is combined into one stream. Each user's response (for example, like clicks, scraps, comments, etc.) is registered to communicate. For example, if a user selects Detail View while viewing a video clip, they can go to the home of the user who uploaded the video clip. If you click Like while viewing a video clip that you uploaded, you can like the corresponding section of the video clip. The value is rising. In addition, the uploader can select a specific section of the video clip to set the key sections that will be shown when searching in the main, and other users' responses (eg, like clicks, comments, etc.) in all sections of the video clip and in the current section. Etc.), you can also enter a comment in the section you are viewing.

9 and 10 illustrate a process of associating relevant information for each section of each video clip combined into one stream according to individual interests or specific topics. FIG. 9 illustrates a user terminal in a process of playing a specific section. The information related to the corresponding section is displayed at the bottom, and FIG. 10 shows an example in which viewing concentration can be improved and response can be confirmed through participation by section, and real-time two-way communication can be realized by providing immediate feedback.

In addition, FIG. 11 illustrates a navigation method using the timeline of the present invention, in which a user scrolls without being limited to a screen size or time at which video clips combined into one stream are displayed according to individual interests or a specific topic. This indicates that the video clip of the desired section can be searched. In this case, the timeline display unit includes a navigation bar indicating the entire search interval of video clips combined into one stream according to individual interests or a specific topic, a navigation button for searching for a specific video clip in the navigation bar, and each video clip in one stream. It may include a section indicator for displaying star section information.
