[0033] Hereinafter, the preferred embodiments are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that a person skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention. However, in the process of describing the preferred embodiments of the present invention in detail, if it is determined that the specific description of a known function or structure will unnecessarily confuse the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted. In addition, throughout the specification, the same reference numerals are used for parts that perform similar functions and effects.

[0034] Furthermore, throughout the specification, when a part is "connected" to other parts, this includes not only the case of "direct connection" but also the case of "indirect connection" with other devices in between. Furthermore, unless otherwise specifically stated, it means that other structural elements may also be included, rather than excluding other structural elements.

[0035] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the structure of a perceptual art service providing system for a sign 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, a perceptual art service providing system for a sign 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention enables a user to use perceptual art on the sign 100. The perceptual art is a digital object that uses graphics to express user emotions. The system may include the sign 100, a service server 200, and a user terminal 300.

[0036] That is, in the present invention, the service server 200 provides perceptual art, which is a digital object that uses graphics to express user emotions. Users can purchase perceptual art and share it on the sign 100, thereby compactly and effectively expressing and sharing their emotions through perceptual art.

[0037] Among them, the perceptual art can be a two-dimensional, three-dimensional static graphic or an animated graphic. More specifically, the perceptual art can be in a form similar to emoticons used in instant messaging tools or stickers, mobile cards, etc. used in social media. However, compared with personal terminals, the display screen of the sign 100 that outputs the perceptual art is usually larger, so it can be made to conform to a large screen. According to an embodiment, the perceptual art can also be composed of multiple digital objects. Since the service server 200 sells a variety of perceptual arts through an online store, users can feel the fun of being able to purchase and use a variety of perceptual arts according to circumstances and preferences.

[0038] On the other hand, in the case where the use of the existing sign 100 is still limited to billboards, although various business models targeting the sign 100 operators are being developed, a business model targeting multiple users who have access to the sign 100 is unprecedented. The perceptual art service providing system for the sign 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention enables multiple individual users who have access to the sign 100 to share content on the sign 100, and at the same time, sells perceptual art that can be inserted into the content when creating the content or can be used as the content itself, so that the present invention plays the role of a profit model targeting individual users in the process of operating the sign 100.

[0039] Below, refer to Figure 1 , the various structural elements constituting the perceptual art service providing system for the sign 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0040] The sign 100 can output content including perceptual art through the display panel. That is, the sign 100 can output content in multimedia forms such as photos, texts, and videos, and can also output perceptual art as a structural element or content of the content.

[0041] Among them, the sign 100 can be installed in a location where people stay for a period of time or a location with a large number of mobile population, such as a tourist attraction or a store, and people can transmit the content that needs to be shared with others to the sign 100 and share it with others. As described above, when sharing content such as photos or messages through the sign 100, you can watch the thoughts or feelings, photos, etc. of other people in the same space to feel the fun, and you can also communicate with other people around you in real time. Therefore, it is possible to expand online social media communication to offline, so that offline communication becomes richer.

[0042] According to the embodiment, the sign 100 is not installed at a place accessible to an unspecified majority of people, but is installed at a place accessible to multiple members of a specific group such as a home, school, church, company, or apartment, so that multiple group members can share content through the sign 100. As described above, if multiple group members share content through the sign 100, they can watch the content together through the sign 100 and communicate naturally, unlike watching the content through individual terminals. Generally, compared with individual terminals, the content can be confirmed through the sign 100 with a larger size and a new mood and fun can be felt. It is also possible to strongly feel the sense of connection between multiple group members and strengthen the bond.

[0043] In the perceptual art service providing system for the sign 100 of one embodiment of the present invention, as described above, multiple users can share content through the sign 100, and at the same time, the perceptual art made for the sign 100 can be shared through the sign 100, so as to quickly and compactly express the user's emotions or situations, etc. Among them, the content can be composed of a perceptual art, and in addition to the perceptual art, it can also include photos, texts, etc. For example, the content can be composed of photos or videos and texts below a preset length, perceptual art and texts below a preset length, etc. That is, since the content is output through the display panel of the sign 100, even if the display screen is briefly viewed based on the visual structure of the photo or video, perceptual art, etc., the content of the content can be intuitively grasped. In addition, the content can also include multiple photos. For example, multiple photos taken at a specific restaurant and perceptual art expressing the feelings about it can be combined into one content. The text of each photo can also be included in the multiple photos.

[0044] The service server 200 can store the perceptual art data to be made into the sign 100, sell the perceptual art through the online store, and control the transmission of the perceptual art purchased by the user so that it can be output on the sign 100 according to the user's request. That is, the service server 200 can manage the sign 100 through the network, and can also sell the perceptual art to the user who accesses the service server 200 through the sign 100 or the user terminal 300.

[0045] The network may be implemented as a wired network such as a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN) or a value added network (VAN), or a mobile radio communication network, a satellite communication network, Bluetooth, a wireless broadband Internet (Wibro), a high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), a long term evolution (LTE), 3 / 4 / 5 / 6th generation mobile telecommunication, and all other wireless networks. Figure 2 The detailed structure of the service server 200 will be described in detail.

[0046] The user terminal 300 can purchase the perceptual art and request it to be output to the sign 100. More specifically, the user terminal 300 can perform various functions related to viewing, purchasing, editing, content creation, and uploading of the perceptual art.

[0047] In this case, the user terminal 300 can be implemented as a personal electronic device of the user, and if the sign 100 is in a form that can interact with the user, the sign 100 can also play the role of the user terminal 300. That is, the user can purchase perceptual art and upload content at the personal terminal and the sign 100 in the form of an information kiosk.

[0048] The electronic device may include at least one of a smart phone, a tablet computer (personal computer; PC), a mobile phone, a video phone, an e-book reader, a desktop computer (PC), a laptop computer (PC), a netbook computer, a workstation, a server, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a media box, a game console, an electronic dictionary or a wearable device (wea rable device), and the wearable device may include at least one of an accessory type (for example, a watch, a ring, a bracelet, an anklet, a necklace, glasses, contact lenses or a head-mounted device (HMD, head-mounted-device), a fabric or clothing integrated type (for example, electronic clothing), a body attached type (for example, a skin patch (skin pad) or a tattoo) or an implantable circuit (implantable circuit). In various embodiments, the electronic device is not limited to the above-mentioned devices, and can also be a combination of two or more of the above-mentioned devices.

[0049] The user terminal 300 can access the service server 200 through a web application, a web browser, an application, etc. to purchase the perceptual art and upload it so that it can be output on the sign 100. In addition, the user terminal 300 can perform an editing function for editing the perceptual art or for creating content, and the editing function may include photo editing, text editing, video editing, etc. functions provided by the service server 200 or provided by an application of the user terminal 300.

[0050] On the other hand, the sign 100 may display a QR code storing a link to access the service server 200 through the display panel, so as to share the content through the corresponding sign 100. That is, the QR code and the method of use may be displayed on the display panel, so that a user who needs to share the content after viewing the sign 100 can easily understand the sharing method, and the user can easily access the service server 200 by scanning the displayed QR code with the user terminal 300.

[0051] Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a detailed structure of a service server 200 in a perceptual art service providing system for a sign 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the service server 200 of the perceptual art service providing system for the sign 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a database unit 210 , a store operation unit 220 , and a sign management unit 230 , and may further include an editing unit 240 and a perceptual art registration unit 250 .

[0052] The database unit 210 may store the perceptual art data. In this case, the database unit 210 may classify the perceptual art data into categories including the size and event type of the perceptual art and store them. The perceptual art data means data for outputting perceptual art, and the perceptual art may be a static or animated digital object. For example, the database unit 210 may classify and store perceptual art for each situation such as birthday congratulations, thanks, and marriage proposals; perceptual art for each emotion such as joy, happiness, melancholy, and sadness; perceptual art for each size such as large, medium, and small.

[0053] Furthermore, the database unit 210 can store and manage the content transmitted to each sign 100 from the sign management unit 230 described in detail later for each sign 100. The service server 200 can run a web page for each sign 100, and upload the content stored in the database unit 210 for each sign 100 on the web page of each sign 100, so that multiple users can confirm the content through the sign 100 and the web page, and input various feedback such as likes and comments.

[0054] The store operation unit 220 may operate an online store that sells perceptual art. The perceptual art sold in the online store is a digital object pre-made for output to the display panel of the sign 100, which may be uploaded by the service server 200 or created by other users and uploaded for sale.

[0055] Figure 3 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an online store operated by the store operation unit 220 of the perceptual art service providing system for the sign 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3As shown, the store operation unit 220 of the perceptual art service providing system for the sign 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can operate an online store for viewing and selling perceptual art. Users can access the online store through the sign 100 or the user terminal 300, and can view and purchase perceptual art.

[0056] The store operation department 220 can provide a settlement procedure required for selling perceptual art. In this case, perceptual art can have multiple usage rights, such as one-time use, a specified number of uses, a specified time of use, etc., and the price of the same perceptual art may also be different depending on the number of uses or the period of use. The store operation department 220 can register or store the perceptual art purchased by the user in the user's account and process it so that the user can use it according to the usage rights when needed.

[0057] The signage management unit 230 can control the transmission of the perceptual art purchased in the user terminal 300 accessing the online store so that it can be output on the signage 100 according to the user's request. More specifically, the signage management unit 230 receives the perceptual art to be shared and the selection of the signage 100 to which the perceptual art needs to be output from the user terminal 300, and when the user has the authority to share the content to the corresponding signage 100, the perceptual art is controlled to be output on the corresponding signage 100. The signage 100 can output and share the content uploaded by the user, and can effectively share the user's emotions through the perceptual art.

[0058] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a display screen of a sign 100 that illustrates output contents of a perceptual art service providing system for a sign 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the signage 100 of the perceptual art service providing system for the signage 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can output the content uploaded by the user according to the control of the signage management unit 230. That is, Figure 4 As shown, a variety of content can be shared with colleagues in the company by outputting seminar photos, promotion congratulations messages sent by team members ("Boss, congratulations on your promotion."), reply messages to promotion congratulations messages ("Thank you."), weekend greetings ("Have a nice weekend!"), etc. on the sign 100 installed in the company.

[0059] Among them, the message of congratulations on the promotion and the corresponding reply message are composed of sentimental art, and the remaining contents are composed of photos and messages. That is, when a user who confirms the promotion of a team member leaves a congratulatory message, instead of simply leaving a message, he can purchase sentimental art expressing congratulations, add a message such as "Boss, congratulations on the promotion." to the sentimental art to create content, and share it through the sign 100. In addition, in response to such congratulations, sentimental art expressing gratitude is purchased and uploaded, so that the emotions of congratulations and gratitude can be expressed quickly, compactly, and more richly.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, the display panel of the sign 100 can output multiple contents at the same time. That is, generally, the screen size of the sign 100 is larger than the size of a personal terminal such as a mobile terminal or a tablet computer (PC), so multiple contents can be displayed at the same time. In addition, the layout of the display screen of the sign 100 can be varied, and the layout of the displayed content size or arrangement can be flexibly configured to provide more fun.

[0061] According to an embodiment, when a content includes multiple images (photos or sentimental art), the multiple photos can be repeatedly displayed in sequence in a content frame. Figure 4 The seminar content at the top may include multiple photos taken at the seminar, and the multiple photos may be automatically changed and repeatedly displayed at a specified time interval.

[0062] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of a sign 100 that enlarges and displays perceptual art in a perceptual art service providing system for the sign 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, in the sign 100 of the perceptual art service providing system for the sign 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, if new perceptual art is uploaded or specific content is selected, the corresponding content can be enlarged and displayed. For example, when the sign 100 allows the user to interact by touching, etc., Figure 4 In the display screen of the sign 100 shown in FIG. 1 , if the promotion congratulations content including the perceptual art is selected, the following Figure 5 As shown, the corresponding content can be enlarged to make it easier to confirm details such as sensory art, information, creation date, creator, etc.

[0063] On the other hand, the sign 100 can output content based on at least one of the creation order and the popularity order. That is, the most recently created content can be displayed at the top, and the content that has received the most views, selections, likes, and other feedback can be displayed at the top. In addition, the content can be output in a form that combines the creation order and the popularity order. For example, the display screen of the sign 100 can be divided into an area for outputting content according to the popularity order and an area for outputting content according to the creation order and operated. In such a case, Figure 4 In the example shown, popular contents such as seminar photos can be outputted separately at the top, and contents can be outputted in the order of creation below the popular contents. In this case, a predetermined number of contents can be switched and displayed in the order of popularity at the top of the output popular contents.

[0064] The editing unit 240 can provide editing tools for creating content, and can edit the perceptual art purchased by the user through the editing tools. More specifically, the editing unit 240 can edit the structure of the perceptual art that is preset to be editable. That is, perceptual art is a digital object created by another creator, and is also a means to express emotions quickly and effectively. Therefore, only limited editing can be performed on the parts preset by the creator, such as inserting text such as messages or dates or adjusting the size. For example, Figure 5 The content displayed in the enlarged image was edited by adding the text "Buyer, congratulations on your promotion." to the sentimental art that looks like firecrackers.

[0065] On the other hand, the editing tools provided by the editing unit 240 may also include tools for editing photos, text, videos, and other content to create photo content for sharing through the sign 100. More specifically, the size, shape of the photo or the font, length, and other aspects of the text may all be content specific to the sign 100, and a variety of filters, stickers, images, and the like for editing photos may be provided, and a variety of tools for selecting and applying the size, color, font, position, and the like of the text may be provided. In addition, the editing unit 240 may also provide a preview function on the user terminal 300 so that the status of the created content when it is output to the sign 100 can be confirmed in advance.

[0066] The perceptual art registration unit 250 can obtain and verify the perceptual art produced by the user, and register it as a commodity in the online store operated by the store operation unit 220. That is, in the online store operated by the store operation unit 220, the user registers the perceptual art produced by the user as a commodity and sells it, so that multiple users can act as creators of perceptual art. A part of the perceptual art sales income can be paid to the user who created the corresponding perceptual art. In this way, a variety of perceptual arts can be circulated, and multiple users can also act as creators to obtain additional income.

[0067] As described above, according to the sensory art service providing system for sign 100 proposed by the present invention, sensory art as a digital object that expresses user emotions by using graphics can be sold on sign 100, and the sensory art purchased by the user is controlled to be output to sign 100 according to the user's request, so that user emotions can be effectively shared through sensory art on sign 100, and the pleasure of purchasing and using a variety of sensory arts can be brought. In the process of operating the sign, the above-mentioned sensory art service providing system for sign 100 plays the role of a profit model with users as the object.

[0068] On the other hand, the present invention may include a computer-readable medium including program instructions for executing operations implemented in a variety of communication terminals. For example, the computer-readable medium may include magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks, and magnetic tapes, optical recording media such as compact disks (CD-ROMs), high-density digital video disks (DVDs), magneto-optical media such as floptical disks, and hardware devices such as read-only memories (ROMs), random access memories (RAMs), flash memories, etc. that are specifically used to store and execute program instructions.

[0069] Such computer-readable media may contain program instructions, data files, data structures, etc., alone or in combination. In this case, the program instructions recorded on the computer-readable medium may be specially designed and constructed to implement the present invention, or may be well known and usable by those skilled in the art of computer software. For example, it may include not only machine codes generated by a compiler, but also high-level language codes executed by a computer using an interpreter, etc.

[0070] A person skilled in the art may make various modifications or applications to the above-described invention, and the scope of the technical concept of the invention should be determined according to the following scope of protection of the invention.
