FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0019] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a preferred embodiment will be described in detail so that a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains can easily carry out the present invention. However, in describing the preferred embodiment of the present invention in detail, if it is determined that a detailed description of related well-known functions or configurations may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description will be omitted. In addition, the same reference numerals are used throughout the drawings for parts having similar functions and actions.

[0020] In addition, throughout the specification, when a part is "connected" to another part, this includes not only the case where the part is "directly connected" to another part, but also the case where the part is "indirectly connected" to another part via another element therebetween. In addition, when a certain component is "included," it does not mean that the other component is excluded, but that the other component can be further included, unless otherwise specified.

[0021] 1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration of a service system for enhancing a sense of solidarity among group members using a group-dedicated signage 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the service system for enhancing a sense of solidarity among group members using a group-dedicated signage 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be configured to include a service server 100, a group-dedicated signage 200, and a member terminal 300.

[0022] That is, the present invention allows group members to share the content by having the service server 100 receive the content created by group members and output the content through the group-dedicated signage 200 installed in a place where group members can approach. When the content created by group members is output to the group-dedicated signage 200 in this manner, unlike when group members view their personal terminals, group members can naturally communicate with each other while viewing the group-dedicated signage 200 together, and can feel a new feeling and excitement while viewing the content through the signage, which is generally larger than the personal terminal. In addition, group members who are not familiar with personal terminals can access the content through the group-dedicated signage 200 in real time. In addition, group members who are not familiar with personal terminals can easily view the content through the group-dedicated signage 200. In addition, due to the characteristics of the signage displayed subsequently, the content shared by group members can be easily viewed without performing operations such as running an application or connecting to a website. As a result, group members can feel a strong sense of connection with each other and strengthen their sense of solidarity.

[0023] Here, a group may be composed of a plurality of group members who use a specific offline space where the group-only signage 200 can be installed. For example, it may be a family, a school, a church, a company, an apartment, etc. Also, the group members of a group may be composed of a group master who manages the group-only signage 200 and general members, and the group master can manage the group-only signage 200 and manage the usage rights of the general members.

[0024] 2 is a diagram illustrating a group configuration in a service system for strengthening a sense of solidarity between group members using group-dedicated signage 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, in the service system for strengthening a sense of solidarity between group members using group-dedicated signage 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the group is a team within a company, one of the team members, A, becomes the group master, and team members such as a section manager, deputy, and employee can become general members. In addition, if the group is a specific class in a school, the teacher in charge can become the group master, and the students in the class can become general members, and the group configuration can be various.

[0025] Hereinafter, each component constituting a system for providing a service for enhancing a sense of solidarity among group members using a group-specific signage 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0026] The service server 100 can provide a service for enhancing a sense of community through content sharing among group members. That is, the service server 100 can manage a group-dedicated signage 200 in a remote location. More specifically, the service server 100 can transmit content to the group-dedicated signage 200 and manage the output state. The service server 100 can also authenticate a member terminal 300 connected via a network, manage the authority, and receive content. The detailed configuration of the service server 100 will be described later in detail with reference to FIG. 3.

[0027] Here, the network may be realized as a wired network such as a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN) or a Value Added Network (VAN), or as any kind of wireless network such as a mobile radio communication network, a satellite communication network, Bluetooth (registered trademark), Wibro (Wireless Broadband Internet), HSDPA (High Speed ​​Downlink Packet Access), LTE (Long Term Evolution), 3 / 4 / 5 / 6G (3 / 4 / 5 / 6th Generation Mobile National Telecommunication), etc.

[0028] According to an embodiment, the service server 100 operates a web page for each group or signage, and group members can access the group's web page using the member terminal 300 and use functions such as uploading content, viewing content, inputting feedback such as comments and "likes," and managing the group-specific signage 200 according to the authority of each group member.

[0029] The group-only signage 200 has a display panel on the front, is installed in a place where group members can approach, and can output the contents of group members to the display panel. More specifically, the group-only signage 200 can output the contents of group members to strengthen communication and solidarity among group members through sharing of the contents. Here, the group-only signage 200 refers to a display device having a display panel, and can include not only a large display used as an outdoor billboard, but also a display that can be installed in a home, classroom, elevator, etc.

[0030] The member terminal 300 is a terminal of a group member, and can create content and share the created content through the group-only signage 200. The member terminal 300 can be realized as an electronic device that performs various functions related to the group-only signage 200, such as creating content to be uploaded to the group-only signage 200, transmitting the content to the service server 100, connecting to a web page for each group on the service server 100, and checking the content to be output to the group-only signage 200.

[0031] Here, the electronic device may include at least one of a smartphone, a tablet PC (personal computer), a mobile phone, a video phone, an e-book reader, a desktop PC, a laptop 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, and the wearable device may include at least one of an accessory type (e.g., a watch, a ring, a bracelet, an anklet, a necklace, glasses, contact lenses), a head-mounted device (HMD), a fabric or clothing integrated type (e.g., electronic clothing), a body-attached type (e.g., a skin pad or a tattoo), or a biological implantable circuit. In various embodiments, the electronic device is not limited to the above-mentioned devices, and may be a combination of two or more of the above-mentioned various devices.

[0032] The member terminal 300 can be installed with applications for performing various functions related to the group-specific signage 200, and can manage the group-specific signage 200 through a group-specific web page by connecting to the service server 100 via a web application, web browser, application, etc.

[0033] In addition, the member terminal 300 can execute editing functions for creating content, and the editing functions can include functions such as photo editing, text editing, and video editing provided by the service server 100 or an application.

[0034] 3 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of the service server 100 in the system for providing a service for enhancing a sense of solidarity among group members using the group-dedicated signage 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the service server 100 in the system for providing a service for enhancing a sense of solidarity among group members using the group-dedicated signage 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a group management unit 110 and a signage management unit 140, and may further include an authentication unit 120, an authority management unit 130, a database unit 150, and an editing unit 160.

[0035] The group management unit 110 can store and manage information on group members belonging to a group and the usage rights of the group members for each group. That is, the group management unit 110 can store login information, authentication information, contact information, etc. of group members for each group, and can store settings such as a group master and general members for each group. In addition, the group management unit 110 can edit information on group members, such as adding, changing, or deleting, according to the settings of the group master, and can also edit the usage rights, such as changing the usage rights of general members or changing the group master.

[0036] Meanwhile, the group management unit 110 can link and register the group-dedicated signage 200 used by each group for each group. In this case, there may be multiple group-dedicated signages 200 for each group. For example, when a company has many team members who work in different offices or floors, multiple group-dedicated signages 200 installed in each office or floor can be linked and registered as one group. In addition, when the group size is large, such as a church, multiple group-dedicated signages 200 are required. In this case, the group management unit 110 can also link and register multiple group-dedicated signages 200 to the group.

[0037] The authentication unit 120 can authenticate that a group member is a member of the group. More specifically, the authentication unit 120 can process an authentication procedure for authenticating that the group member is a member of the group through at least one authentication method selected from the group including scanning a QR code issued to the group, an acceptance signal from the group master, matching with a group member list stored by the group master, input of authentication information set by the group master, and matching with group member information stored in the group management unit 110.

[0038] For example, the group master can receive a QR code for joining a group from the service server 100 and provide the issued QR code to a user to join. A user who wishes to be authenticated can connect to the service server 100 and scan the QR code provided by the group master to be authenticated and join as a member of a group managed by the group master.

[0039] In addition, when a user to be authenticated connects to the service server 100 and inputs information such as contact details, the authentication unit 120 can present groups that the user can join through authentication, using group member information stored in the group management unit 110. The user can also select a presented group and join as a group member. For this purpose, the group master can previously set and register information on group members that can join groups that the group master manages.

[0040] The authority management unit 130 can grant a usage authority to group members authenticated by the authentication unit 120 to enable sharing of content via the group-dedicated signage 200. That is, the authority management unit 130 can grant a usage authority to upload content to the group-dedicated signage 200 of the group only to the group members authenticated by the authentication unit 120, and can make it impossible for other users outside the group to use the signage. Therefore, since group members within a group exclusively communicate via the group-dedicated signage 200, a sense of solidarity within the group can be strengthened.

[0041] The group management unit 110 can store and manage information on group members authenticated by the authentication unit 120 and the usage authority granted by the authority management unit 130. That is, the group management unit 110 can manage the authentication status, joining status, and usage authority of each group member by group in conjunction with the authentication unit 120 and the authority management unit 130.

[0042] The signage management unit 140 can receive content created in the member terminal 300 according to the usage authority of the group member, and control transmission so that the received content is output from the group-dedicated signage 200 of the group to which the group member belongs. That is, the signage management unit 140 can transmit content to the group-dedicated signage 200 so that the content is output to the group-dedicated signage 200 of the group to which the group member belongs, and can also upload the content to a group-specific webpage of the group, allowing the content to be viewed on the member terminal 300.

[0043] Here, the content may include at least one of an image, text, and a video, and may be less than a predetermined length. Since the content is output through the group-only signage 200, the content may be configured to be intuitively understood by simply looking at the display screen for a while, based on images and short text of three sentences or less. The content may also be configured to include a plurality of images (photos) and text. For example, a plurality of photos taken during a dinner party may be configured as one content. The plurality of photos may include text for each photo.

[0044] 4 and 5 are diagrams illustrating a display screen of the group-dedicated signage 200 on which content is output in a service system for enhancing a sense of solidarity between group members using the group-dedicated signage 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the group-dedicated signage 200 in the service system for enhancing a sense of solidarity between group members using the group-dedicated signage 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention can output content uploaded by group members under the control of the signage management unit 140. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, in the group-dedicated signage 200 of a company team group, various contents such as workshop photos, promotion congratulatory messages sent by team members ("Congratulations on your promotion, manager!"), response messages to the promotion congratulatory messages ("Thank you for the congratulations!"), weekend greetings ("Have a nice weekend!"), etc. can be output to the group-dedicated signage 200 of the team. Thus, first, a member who confirms the promotion of a team member leaves a congratulatory message, and all team members congratulate together while viewing the congratulatory message, thereby strengthening communication between team members.

[0045] As shown in Fig. 4, multiple contents can be simultaneously output to the display panel of the group-only signage 200. That is, since the screen of a signage is generally larger than that of a personal terminal such as a mobile terminal or a tablet PC, multiple contents can be simultaneously displayed. In addition, the layout of the display screen of the group-only signage 200 is diverse, and the layout, such as the size and arrangement of the displayed contents, can be flexibly configured to add additional excitement.

[0046] According to an embodiment, when one content includes multiple images (photos), the multiple photos may be displayed in sequence in one content frame. For example, the workshop content shown in the upper part of Fig. 4 may include multiple photos taken at the workshop, and the multiple photos may be displayed in sequence while being automatically changed at regular time intervals.

[0047] In addition, if the group-only signage 200 allows user interaction such as touch, when a particular content is selected, the content can be enlarged and displayed. That is, when a thank-you message corresponding to a promotion congratulatory message ("Thank you for the congratulations") is selected on the display screen of the group-only signage 200 as shown in Fig. 4, the content can be enlarged and displayed as shown in Fig. 5, making it easier to check details such as the photo, message, creation date, and creator.

[0048] Meanwhile, the group-only signage 200 can output contents in order of creation or popularity. That is, the most recently created content can be exposed at the top, and the content that has received the most feedback such as views, selections, and "likes" can be exposed at the top. Content can also be output in a form combining the order of creation and the order of popularity. For example, the display screen of the group-only signage 200 can be operated by dividing it into an area where contents are output in order of popularity and an area where contents are output in order of creation. In the example shown in FIG. 4, popular contents such as workshop photos can be output separately in the upper section, and contents can be output in order of creation below the popular contents. In this case, a certain number of contents can be displayed in order of popularity in the upper section where the popular contents are output.

[0049] The signage management unit 140 can set or change at least one setting information selected from a group including the number of content outputs, output time, layout, and background music of the group-dedicated signage 200 based on the control signal of the group master. That is, the group master can connect to the service server 100 to check or change the setting information of the group-dedicated signage 200, and the signage management unit 140 can remotely control the group-dedicated signage 200 to reflect the setting information of the group master in real time. For example, the group master can connect to the service server 100 using the member terminal 300 and change the layout of the group-dedicated signage 200.

[0050] Meanwhile, a group member who uploads content can set the content so that other group members cannot view it for a certain period of time. For example, if a group member in a company team group has a birthday coming up, content celebrating the birthday can be sent to the service server 100 in advance, and the content can be set to be displayed on the group-only signage 200 at a predetermined time on the birthday. In this case, the content can be made invisible not only to general members but also to the group master.

[0051] The database unit 150 can store the content by group. The signage management unit 140 can receive the content created by the member terminal 300 and store the content in the database unit as the content of the group to which the group member belongs. The service server 100 can operate a webpage by group, and the content stored by group in the database unit 150 is uploaded to the group webpage, and the members can check the content and input various feedback such as "Like" and comments through the group webpage. Therefore, even if the group members are far away from the group-dedicated signage 200 or the group-dedicated signage 200 is a display that does not allow interaction, they can check the content and input feedback, thereby increasing communication and solidarity between the group members.

[0052] The editing unit 160 may provide editing tools to the member terminal 300 for creating content. The editing tools provided by the editing unit 160 may include tools capable of editing photos, text, videos, etc., for creating content to be shared via the group-only signage 200. More specifically, the size and shape of a photo, the font and length of a text, etc. may be specialized for content for the group-only signage 200, and various filters, stickers, images, etc. for editing a photo may be provided, and various tools may be provided that allow the size, color, font, position, etc. of text to be selected and applied. In addition, the editing unit 160 may provide a preview function to the member terminal 300 so that the created content can be confirmed in advance when it is output to the group-only signage 200.

[0053] As described above, according to the service system for enhancing a sense of solidarity among group members using the group-only signage 200 proposed in the present invention, content created by group members can be output and shared through the group-only signage 200 installed in a place where the group members can approach each other, thereby activating communication among group members through the sharing of content and strengthening a sense of solidarity, and the group members can get additional fun by viewing the content output on the group-only signage 200.

[0054] Meanwhile, the present invention may include a computer-readable medium including program instructions for performing operations implemented in various communication terminals. For example, the computer-readable medium may include a magnetic media such as a hard disk, a floppy disk, and a magnetic tape, an optical media such as a CD_ROM and a DVD, a magneto-optical media such as a floptical disk, and a hardware device specially configured to store and execute program instructions such as a ROM, a RAM, and a flash memory.

[0055] Such computer-readable media may include, alone or in combination with other program instructions, data files, data structures, and the like. In this regard, the program instructions recorded on the computer-readable media may be those specially designed and constructed for implementing the present invention, or they may be those that are well known and available to those skilled in the art of computer software. For example, the program instructions may include not only machine code, such as produced by a compiler, but also high-level language code that can be executed by a computer using an interpreter, etc.

[0056] The present invention described above can be modified and applied in various ways by those having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains, and the scope of the technical idea of ​​the present invention should be defined by the following claims.
