For example, by using a smartphone to access a site such as YouTube to watch a video in real time, to receive and play radio or TV broadcasts through a dedicated app, or to play content such as a web toon instead of a web browser. That's what you watch through the app.

However, the ever-increasing trend since the emergence of smart phones is a tendency for users to directly participate in the production of content.

For example, a number of posts or short texts are posted through social network services and consumed by other users, or images or videos created using a smartphone can be uploaded directly to sites such as Flickr and YouTube. The advent of a simple sharing and consumption model is a testament to the growing trend that has emerged since Web 2.0.

That is, after the emergence of smart phones, users have appeared in the foreground as consumers of contents and producers of contents.

On the other hand, in the case of creating new content by modifying existing content, the role as a consumer and producer of such content becomes clearer. That is, in the situation of the smart phone user, the desire as the end consumer of the content and the desire as the producer to produce the own content can be satisfied at the same time.

For example, it is this situation that scans a cartoon and uses an image editing program to change the content of the dialogue and upload it to a post or a social network service on the Internet and enjoy it.

However, such changes in content had to go through very complicated and cumbersome processes such as scanning, editing through image editing programs, and posting posts through the web.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a new model and methodology that can satisfy the needs of users who are consumers and producers of content by eliminating these hassles.

1 is a connection relationship diagram illustrating a connection relationship between a server and a plurality of mobile devices.

The server 10 provides cartoon content to a plurality of mobiles 20 connected through a network.

The user connects to the server 10 using his mobile 20 to receive and display cartoon content on the screen. In this case, the cartoon content provided to the mobile 20 and displayed on the screen of the mobile 20 is composed of a plurality of cuts, and is a digitized content in which a picture and dialogue are displayed on each cut.

In the meantime, the user may select and store a desired page or cut while watching cartoon content using the mobile 20 as described above.

In this case, the mobile 20 may be connected to the server 10 through a network, and may be preferably a smartphone as a means for processing cut or page selection by a user while playing and displaying cartoon content.

The server 10 reconfigures the page or cut selected by the user through the following process.

An apparatus for reconstructing mobile content according to the present invention may be implemented in such a server 10.

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram illustrating a configuration of an apparatus for reconstructing mobile content according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a reference diagram illustrating how cartoon content is authored by reconstructing a page or cut of a cartoon selected by a user while viewing. to be.

As shown in FIG. 2, the apparatus 100 for reconstructing mobile content according to the present invention includes a content storing means 110, a content providing means 120, an account information managing means 130, and an authoring means 140. And text insertion means 150.

The content storing means 110 stores the cartoon content.

At this time, the cartoon content stored by the content storage means 110 is preferably divided into cut units, as described above, each picture is a digitized content is drawn in the picture, and the dialogue is displayed through a speech bubble.

On the other hand, the content storage means 110 may be further stored by assigning identification numbers to pages or cuts of each cartoon content.

The content providing means 120 provides cartoon content in units of pages to the mobile 20 connected through a network.

That is, the user selects a desired cartoon by using his mobile 20, receives the page unit from the content providing means 120, and displays it on the screen for viewing.

Meanwhile, while the cartoon is displayed through the mobile 20 screen, the user may select a specific page displayed on the screen or select a specific cut of the page displayed on the screen.

Accordingly, the mobile 20 provides the account information managing means 130 with information about the specific page or the specific cut selected by the user.

The account information management means 130, as the cut included in the specific page or the specific page of the provided cartoon content from the mobile 20 is selected, information about the specific page or cut of the specific page of the selected cartoon content-preferably Stores the identification number of the specific page or cut in the user account of the mobile 20.

On the other hand, the user of the mobile 20 will be able to enjoy a variety of cartoon content over a long period of time, and can store a variety of memorable or interesting cuts or pages.

Then, you will want to create your own comics using cuts or comic pages already stored in your account.

In this case, the user operates the mobile 20 to request information about a page or a cut of the cartoon content stored in his account.

In response to a request from the mobile 20, the account information management means 130 provides information on the page or cut of the cartoon content previously stored in the user account.

In this case, the page or cut stored in the content storage means 110 may be withdrawn using the identification number of the page or cut stored in the user account and provided to the mobile 20.

The user may check that the cuts and pages that he has selected so far are displayed on the screen of the mobile 20, and may freely rearrange the cuts and pages by the WYSWIG method.

That is, the relative position of the cuts and pages is adjusted by dragging the screen of the mobile 20.

As the relative positions of the cuts and the pages are rearranged as described above, the mobile 20 transmits relocation information about the relative positions of the cuts and the pages to the apparatus 100 for reconstructing mobile content according to the present invention.

At this time, the relocation information transmitted corresponds to relative position information between cuts and pages such as which cuts are placed at which positions and which pages are placed before or after which pages.

As the authoring means 140 receives the relocation information for the provided page or cut from the mobile 20, the authoring means 140 relocates the page or cut using the same and then renders it in a predetermined data format.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, each page and cut are actually rearranged using the relocation information received from the mobile 20, and then authored by storing them in an image file or a predetermined format.

On the other hand, the rearranged cartoon content may lack the consistency of the content of the dialogue content may lack the completeness or fun as a cartoon.

To compensate for this, the text insertion unit 150 recognizes the speech bubble area by analyzing the page or cut selected by the user. For example, patterns recognized as text when read by OCR are displayed inside the closed curve, and when the inside of the curve is filled with a single color, the closed curve may be recognized as a speech bubble.

The existing metabolism is deleted by filling the closed curve—that is, the speech bubble region with the background color inside the speech bubble region.

Subsequently, when the user inputs text using his mobile 20, the text insertion unit 150 displays the text input from the user in the form of text in the speech bubble area.

The authoring means 140 stores the content which is rearranged in this way and the content of the speech bubble is replaced with the text input by the user in a predetermined format.

This allows the user to have his own cartoon content.

On the other hand, when the user's cartoon content is authored and stored in his user account, the user can access the reconstruction device 100 of the mobile content according to the present invention at any time by using the mobile 20 to check and enjoy it.

To this end, the content providing means 120 stores the authored result in the user account, and provides the stored result to the mobile accessing the user account.

In addition to checking and viewing the result stored in the user account using the mobile 20 as described above, the user may want to show it to other mobile 20 users or simply display it on the web. .

According to the prior art, for this purpose, the generated result-saves the cartoon content of the user as an image file, etc., and inserts it in the post posting on the web, or transmits it to another person's mobile 20 by messenger or MMS. .

However, this process is very cumbersome.

The apparatus 100 for reconstructing mobile content according to the present invention hosts the result of the authored result by the content providing means 120 in order to eliminate such inconvenience.

In other words, it is hosted on the web so that it can be accessed using the url of the authored result.

Then, the mobile 20 pushes a message including the url of the result hosted by the image.

The user can confirm that a message including the url of the hosted result is displayed in a pop-up form on his mobile 20 screen, and when the post is posted on the web, the url is pasted with an html tag to post the message to the post. It is possible to simply process the authored output to be displayed, and by providing the url to another person's mobile 20, others can enjoy the authored output-"my own cartoon content".

Hereinafter, a method of reconstructing mobile content according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of reconstructing mobile content according to the present invention in time series, and FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of replacing a speech bubble area with text input by a user in the present invention shown in FIG. 4. to be.

The reconstruction method of mobile content according to the present invention may be executed in the server 10 as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, first, the server 10 provides cartoon content in units of pages to any one mobile 20 connected through a network (S110).

While viewing the cartoon content displayed on the screen of the mobile 20, the user may select a cut on any one page or a specific page.

In this case, the mobile 20 transmits the information about the specific page or the cut of the specific page of the selected cartoon content-preferably the identification number of the corresponding page or cut to the server 10.

Accordingly, the server 10 stores the information about the specific page or the cut of the specific page of the received cartoon content in the user account of the mobile 20 (S120).

On the other hand, if a plurality of cuts, page information is stored in the user's account through this process, the user may want to check the pre-stored cuts, pages using his mobile (20).

When the request for information on cuts and pages stored in the user account is requested from the mobile 20, the server 10 provides the cuts and pages in the form of an image file using the cut and page identification numbers stored in the user's account.

The user may rearrange the positions of the cuts and pages by the WYSWIG method by dragging the screen while displaying the provided cuts and pages on the mobile 20 screen (S130).

Accordingly, when the mobile 20 transmits the relocation information of the cuts and pages to the server, the server 10 relocates the corresponding page and the cuts using the relocation information, and then renders them in a predetermined data format such as an image file. By authoring (S150).

On the other hand, if authoring is done in this way, the authored result includes the page of the original comic, the dialogue of the cut as it is, and thus it may be difficult to maintain consistency as the content.

Thus, the server 10 allows the mobile 20 user to freely modify the dialogue of the rearranged pages and cuts (S140).

However, since cartoon content produced in the form of a web toon is basically a scalar image rather than a vector image, it is impossible to select some text and replace it with another text.

In order to process this, the server 10 recognizes a speech bubble region through image analysis of any one page or cut selected by the user after step S130 (S141).

Subsequently, the recognized speech bubble area is filled with the background color of the page or the cut (S142). As a result, the dialogue originally displayed in the speech bubble area of the cut or page selected by the user is deleted.

Thereafter, when the user inputs the text using the mobile 20, the server 10 inserts the text by displaying the text in the speech bubble area (S143).

The displayed text is rasterized and incorporated into the rearranged cut, page combination.

On the other hand, the server 10 through this process when the user's "my own cartoon content" is generated and stores it in the user account.

Thereafter, the server 10 provides the stored result to the user's mobile 20 as the user accesses his account using the mobile 20 (S160).

This allows the user to freely check and enjoy the "my own cartoon content" created by the user.

On the other hand, in addition to providing the result to the user through the classical method, the server 10 may host the authored result.

Subsequently, the server 10 instead of providing "your own cartoon content" to the mobile 20 accessed by his account in step S160, the result of the image hosted to the user's mobile 20 in a more aggressive manner. You can generate and push a message that contains the url of.

Meanwhile, the reconstruction method of mobile content according to the present invention may be embodied as computer readable code and stored in a computer readable recording medium.

The computer-readable recording medium may include any type of medium in which data readable by a computer system is stored. Examples of the medium include a DVD-ROM, a CD-ROM, a hard disk, a USB memory, a flash memory And the like.

On the other hand, the expression to be recorded on the recording medium encompasses not only a case where a large amount is recorded on a recording medium, a case where it is distributed in the form of a package, a case where it is provided on a recording medium through a network in the form of a data packet.

In the above description, the expression "server" is used. However, in a distributed computing environment, it is common to divide a function or a load into a plurality of servers for processing. Therefore, a "server" does not necessarily refer to a single hardware component, And < / RTI >

In the meantime, although the expression "smartphone" is used in the above description, the user can connect to the server without being restricted by space while carrying the mobile phone. If the means for receiving the message by the push method, . In other words, it should be interpreted as a concept that includes both tablets and personal data assistants (PDAs) as well as mobile phones equipped with IOS or Android OS.
