Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a service providing method and system based on an optional platform album. More specifically, the present invention relates to a service providing method and system based on an optional platform album with selectively set purchase options and purchasable options.

Background Art

[0002] In the transaction of existing contents such as records and movies, a file in which the content is realized is stored in a storage medium such as a CD or a tape, and the storage medium is traded offline.

[0003] Generally, such cultural contents are provided not only with CDs and tapes containing the content but also with related additional configurations (for example, digital contents that can be activated, album jackets, pictorials, and / or predetermined privileges, etc.) at the time of purchasing the cultural content, for the purpose of enhancing the satisfaction of purchasers or improving the sales volume.

[0004] Currently, with the rapid development of wireless communication and its devices, etc., the fact is that the trading places for providing such cultural contents have almost been transferred to online communication networks.

[0005] However, in the conventional on / offline-based cultural content purchase method, since it is common to sell a finished product in a full-packaging state that includes all of the above-mentioned main content and its additional configurations (for example, a predetermined artist album, etc.), there is a problem that purchasers have to purchase configurations (for example, CDs, tapes, etc.) that they do not need.

[0006] Therefore, purchasers have to bear the burden of purchasing the finished product while suppressing unnecessary expenses.

[0007] Depending on the situation, there may be cases where a purchaser attempts to purchase multiple copies of a specific configuration within the finished product (for example, album jackets, posters, or certain special offers). However, even in such situations, the purchaser must buy the fully manufactured and packaged finished product as a whole, resulting in the difficulty of duplicate purchases for unnecessary configurations.

[0008] On the other hand, recently, in line with the trend of digitizing various information of cultural contents that have been sold in analog format, the form of purchasing cultural contents has shifted from offline content purchases to online-based digital purchase forms such as mp3 files and Internet streaming.

[0009] Also, devices for listening to music have moved away from analog playback devices such as existing CD players, and with the support of various devices such as mp3 players, PMPs, and / or mobile phones based on mp3 files, which are representative of digital sound sources, the aspect of purchasing cultural contents is rapidly shifting online.

[0010] However, when purchasing contents via the Internet, it is hardly possible to easily reflect the sales volume of the contents. For example, there is a limit in that it cannot fully serve as the base data used to determine the ranking by content in a specific sound source chart (such as the Gaon Chart).

[0011] As a result, even though the sales volume of a certain cultural content is actually very high, it cannot be correctly reflected in chart aggregation and ranking, and there is a problem that an accurate ranking chart cannot be provided, and at the same time, the reliability thereof decreases.

[0012] On the other hand, in the online market, the market competition for selling cultural contents is becoming increasingly fierce.

[0013] Under such circumstances, there is an increasing need for a new content delivery paradigm that can further stimulate the interest and enthusiasm of buyers, improve the desire to purchase content, lead to greater economic benefits, and gain an advantage in the market economy on a daily basis.

Thus, various embodiments are possible.

[0132] · Service providing method based on option-type platform album

[0133] Hereinafter, a method for an application 111 executed by at least one or more processors of the terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention to provide an option-type platform album service will be described in detail with reference to the attached FIGS. 3 to 7.

[0134] In an embodiment of the present invention, at least one or more processors of the terminal 100 can execute at least one or more applications 111 stored in at least one or more memories 110 or operate in a background state.

[0135] Hereinafter, for the sake of brevity, it will be described that the at least one or more processors operate to execute the instruction words of the application 111 and perform the method for providing the option-type platform album service described above, as being performed by the application 111.

[0136] FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining a service providing method based on an option-type platform album according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0137] As shown in FIG. 3, in the embodiment, an application 111 executed by at least one or more processors of the terminal 100 or operating in a background state can provide an option-type platform album purchase interface. (S101)

[0138] FIG. 4 is an example of a diagram for explaining an optional type platform album purchase interface according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0139] As shown in FIG. 4, here, the platform album (Album) according to the embodiment can mean an on / offline album released for a predetermined target (for example, a specific artist, etc.) sold online.

[0140] And the optional type platform album according to the embodiment is a form of platform album in which the components of the platform album can be selectively set, that is, the purchase option PO for the platform album can be selectively set and purchased.

[0141] In the embodiment, the purchase option PO of the platform album can be whether or not to include a predetermined CD, digital content (as an embodiment, digital sound source and / or video, etc.), album jacket, pictorial, photo card, and / or privilege (for example, offline fan meeting or concert ticket purchase circle, or NFT related to the album, etc.).

[0142] That is, in the embodiment, the application 111 can provide an optional type platform album purchase interface PI that can purchase a platform album by setting the purchase option PO as described above.

[0143] At this time, as an embodiment, the optional type platform album purchase interface PI can include a user interface that can selectively set the inclusion or non - inclusion (that is, the purchase option PO) for each component, a product (in the embodiment, the optional type platform album) description interface, and / or a purchase process progress interface, etc.

[0144] Also, in an embodiment, the application 111 can set a purchase option PO based on the provided purchase interface. (S103)

[0145] Specifically, in an embodiment, the application 111 can determine a purchase option PO for the platform album that the user (i.e., the purchaser) intends to purchase based on user input based on the provided option-type platform album purchase interface PI.

[0146] For example, for the first option-type platform album, the application 111 can determine the purchase option PO for the first option-type platform album based on user input that selects the components to be included in the first option-type platform album, such as "CD: not included, digital content: included, album jacket: included, pictorial information: included, photo card: included, and bonus: not included".

[0147] In this way, by assisting the application 111 to directly select the components required by the user to configure the option-type platform album, problems such as unnecessary settlements and purchases for configurations that the user does not want can be prevented when the platform album is provided only in a fully packaged state including all components. As a result, wasted resources and their costs can be effectively reduced.

[0148] Also, in an embodiment, the application 111 can determine a made-to-order delivery configuration based on the set purchase option PO. (S105)

[0149] Specifically, the made-to-order delivery configuration according to the embodiment can mean predetermined components (in the embodiment, CD, digital content (as an embodiment, digital sound source and / or video, etc.), album jacket, pictorial, photo card, and / or privilege, etc.) determined to be included in the option-type platform album according to the set purchase option PO.

[0150] In the embodiment, such a made-to-order delivery configuration can include a made-to-order offline configuration provided to the user via offline and a made-to-order online configuration provided to the user via online.

[0151] More specifically, in the embodiment, the application 111 can determine the made-to-order delivery configuration based on components (hereinafter, included components) determined to be included in the option-type platform album according to the purchase option PO setting.

[0152] For example, when the purchase option PO for the first option-type platform album is set as "CD: not included, digital content: included, album jacket: included, pictorial: included, photo card: included, and privilege: not included", the application 111 can determine the album jacket, the pictorial, and the photo card as the made-to-order offline configuration, determine the digital content as the made-to-order online configuration, and determine the made-to-order delivery configuration for the first option-type platform album.

[0153] At this time, in the embodiment, if the digital content and / or the photo card are set as included components according to the purchase option PO, the application 111 can include the purchase authentication code for the digital content and / or the photo card in the made-to-order delivery configuration.

[0154] Here, the purchase authentication code according to the embodiment can be a predetermined identification code (for example, a QR code (registered trademark), a serial number, and / or an authentication number, etc.) for authenticating the purchase of the corresponding digital content and / or photo card.

[0155] In the embodiment, such a purchase authentication code can include an offline authentication code which is a purchase authentication code provided via offline (for example, a printed matter on which the purchase authentication code is displayed, etc.) and / or an online authentication code which is a purchase authentication code provided via online (for example, a digital image displaying the purchase authentication code, etc.).

[0156] Specifically, in the embodiment, if the digital content and / or photo card are set as included components by the purchase option PO in the application 111, the offline authentication code for the digital content and / or photo card can be included as the made-to-order offline configuration.

[0157] For example, the offline authentication code for the digital content can be a printed matter on which the purchase authentication code for the digital content is displayed, and the offline authentication code for the photo card can be provided by being displayed on the photo card.

[0158] Or, in the embodiment, if the digital content and / or photo card are set as included components by the purchase option PO in the application 111, the online authentication code for the digital content and / or photo card can be included as the made-to-order online configuration.

[0159] For example, the online authentication code for the digital content and / or photo card can be a digital image or the like that displays the purchase authentication code for the digital content and / or photo card.

[0160] Therefore, in the future, when Application 111 purchases a predetermined digital content and / or a photo card based on an optional platform album, it can assist in easily performing the purchase authentication for the digital content and / or the photo card not only offline but also online. A detailed description of this will be provided later.

[0161] After that, in the embodiment, when the purchase authentication based on the offline authentication code and / or the online authentication code for the digital content and / or the photo card is completed, Application 111 can activate the digital content based on the digital content and / or the photo card to a usable state. A detailed description of this will be provided later.

[0162] On the other hand, in the embodiment, if the photo card is set as an included component by the purchase option PO in Application 111, among the plurality of photo cards generated in advance for the optional platform album, a photo card randomly selected by a predetermined method (hereinafter, a random photo card) can be included as an order-made offline configuration of the order-made delivery configuration.

[0163] Here, the photo card according to the embodiment can mean a physical card including a predetermined image associated with the target of the optional platform album (for example, a specific artist, etc.), a card identification code providing identification information for specifying the photo card (for example, a card unique number, etc.), and / or a digital content providing code.

[0164] At this time, the digital content providing code according to the embodiment may be a predetermined identification code (for example, a QR code or a bar code, etc.) that is sensed via the image sensor 161 and provides a predetermined digital content (hereinafter, photo card content) specifically realized via the photo card.

[0165] That is, the application 111 can increase the purchase rate of users (i.e., buyers) by randomly selecting and shipping photo cards that provide unique images and digital content, thereby leading to a desire to collect them.

[0166] Also, in the embodiment, the application 111 can execute the settlement and delivery processes according to the determined made-to-order delivery configuration. (S107)

[0167] Specifically, in the embodiment, the application 111 can execute the settlement process and the delivery process for the optional platform album based on the made-to-order delivery configuration determined as described above.

[0168] Here, the settlement process according to the embodiment can include normal functional operations (as an embodiment, settlement means and / or delivery destination setting, etc.) that assist in online settlement for a predetermined product (in the embodiment, an optional platform album according to the made-to-order delivery configuration). In the following, the functional operations specific to the embodiments of the present invention will be mainly described.

[0169] Also, the delivery process according to the embodiment can include normal functional operations (as an embodiment, data transmission and reception based on FTP and / or data transmission and reception with a predetermined delivery server (e.g., a predetermined post office server, etc.) matched to the delivery destination) that assist in a series of delivery processes for delivering a predetermined product (in the embodiment, an optional platform album according to the made-to-order delivery configuration) to a user (i.e., a buyer) via on / offline. In the following, the functional operations specific to the embodiments of the present invention will be mainly described.

[0170] More specifically, in the embodiment, the application 111 can execute the settlement process for the optional platform album.

[0171] Also, in an embodiment, the application 111 can determine the purchase cost for the option-type platform album based on the made-to-order delivery configuration via the executed settlement process.

[0172] Specifically, the application 111 can determine the purchase cost for the option-type platform album based on the price data preset for each component of the option-type platform album (in the embodiment, a predetermined CD, digital content, album jacket, picture information, photo card, and / or privilege, etc.).

[0173] As an embodiment, the application 111 can calculate the total value obtained by summing up the preset prices for each of the made-to-order delivery configurations (i.e., included components) for the option-type platform album, and determine the purchase cost for the option-type platform album.

[0174] That is, the application 111 can prevent excessive expenditure due to unnecessary consumption and support the purchase procedure with a more reasonably calculated album purchase cost by dynamically determining the purchase cost for the option-type platform album according to the purchase option PO determined by user selection.

[0175] Subsequently, in an embodiment, the application 111 can execute the on / offline delivery process for the option-type platform album.

[0176] Specifically, in an embodiment, the application 111 can execute an online delivery process according to the made-to-order online configuration of the made-to-order delivery configuration.

[0177] More specifically, in the embodiment, the application 111 can execute the online delivery process by displaying and outputting the customized online configuration (in the embodiment, a purchase authentication code or the like).

[0178] Through this, even before the customized delivery configuration determined for the optional platform album is transmitted to the user (i.e., the purchaser) offline, the customized delivery configuration (in the embodiment, a purchase authentication code or the like) that can be provided via the online can be provided in advance via the online. Therefore, when the user (i.e., the purchaser) purchases digital content, even before receiving the purchase authentication code for the purchase authentication of the digital content via the offline, it can be received in advance via the online and the digital content can be made available more quickly.

[0179] On the other hand, in the embodiment, the application 111 can execute the offline delivery process according to the customized offline configuration of the customized delivery configuration in conjunction with a predetermined delivery server.

[0180] Specifically, in the embodiment, the application 111 can execute the offline delivery process and assist the offline delivery procedure for the customized offline configuration based on the delivery destination information obtained in the above-described settlement process.

[0181] For example, when the customized offline configuration includes "album jacket, pictorial, and photo card", the application 111 can assist the offline delivery procedure of delivering the "album jacket, pictorial, and photo card" to the user (i.e., the purchaser) offline in conjunction with a predetermined delivery server.

[0182] As another example, when the made-to-order offline configuration includes an "offline authentication code", Application 111 can assist in an offline delivery procedure of delivering the "offline authentication code" to a user (i.e., a purchaser) offline in conjunction with a predetermined delivery server.

[0183] At this time, in an embodiment, Application 111 can obtain a delivery code (i.e., a bill number) generated by performing the offline delivery procedure from the associated delivery server.

[0184] Here, the delivery code according to the embodiment can mean predetermined identification information given to identify a corresponding product (in the embodiment, an option-type platform album according to the made-to-order offline configuration) in the offline delivery process.

[0185] In other words, Application 111 can receive and obtain, in conjunction with the delivery server, a delivery code (bill number), which is predetermined identification information matched to an option-type platform album delivered offline to a user (i.e., a purchaser).

[0186] In an embodiment of the present invention, Application 111 can utilize the delivery code obtained as described above to realize a sales authentication process for the option-type platform album in the future. A detailed description thereof will be given later.

[0187] Also, in an embodiment, Application 111 can provide sales authentication information based on the purchased option-type platform album. (S109)

[0188] Here, the sales authentication information according to the embodiment can mean information that authenticates that a series of sales procedures for the album have been completed normally when the option-type platform album is purchased (settled), as described above.

[0189] In an embodiment, such sales authentication information may be provided to a predetermined album ranking aggregation server (for example, a Gaon Chart server, etc.) and be the base data reflected in the album sales volume parameter value for determining a predetermined album ranking chart provided by the album ranking aggregation server.

[0190] Specifically, in an embodiment, the application 111 can generate sales authentication information for the purchased option-type platform album (hereinafter, the settlement album).

[0191] More specifically, in an embodiment, the application 111 can generate sales authentication information for the settlement album based on the album unique number preset for each predetermined option-type platform album and the delivery code (invoice number) obtained by the progress of offline delivery.

[0192] Specifically, in an embodiment, the application 111 can obtain the album unique number pre-matched to the settlement album and the delivery code (invoice number) generated by the progress of offline delivery for the settlement album.

[0193] As an embodiment, the application 111 can read the album unique number of the settlement album from the memory 110 and / or obtain it in conjunction with an external server (for example, the service platform server 200).

[0194] Also, as an embodiment, the application 111 can obtain the delivery code of the settlement album in conjunction with the above-mentioned delivery server.

[0195] Also, in an embodiment, the application 111 can generate sales authentication information for the settlement album including the album unique number and the delivery code obtained as described above.

[0196] In an embodiment, the application 111 can provide (transmit) the generated sales authentication information to a predetermined album ranking aggregation server (for example, a Gaon Chart server, etc.).

[0197] Then, the album ranking aggregation server that has received the sales authentication information reflects the received sales authentication information in the album sales volume parameter value for determining a predetermined album ranking chart provided by the album ranking aggregation server, and can determine the ranking for each album within the album ranking chart.

[0198] As an embodiment, when the sales authentication information is received, the album ranking aggregation server can determine the validity of the delivery code within the sales authentication information.

[0199] For example, the album ranking aggregation server can determine the validity of the delivery code within the received sales authentication information in conjunction with a predetermined delivery server (for example, a predetermined post office server, etc.).

[0200] Also, as an embodiment, if the album ranking aggregation server determines that the delivery code is valid through the validity determination, it can increase the sales volume of the album corresponding to the album unique number within the sales authentication information.

[0201] Thus, the album ranking aggregation server can reflect the sales authentication information and determine the album ranking chart.

[0202] In this way, the application 111 generates sales authentication information for the platform album based on the album unique number preset for each optional platform album and the delivery code (invoice number) for the offline delivery of the optional platform album, and provides this information to a predetermined album ranking aggregation server to support its reflection in the album sales volume. By doing so, sales authentication information and the like for the platform album can be collected over a larger area based on official and objective data. By reflecting the sales authentication information and the like collected over such a wider area, it is possible to support the predetermined album ranking chart aggregation to be more accurate and reliable.

[0203] Note that even if only some of the constituent elements of the optional platform album are purchased, the application 111 can perform sales authentication by utilizing the delivery code generated during the delivery process for this, so that even if only the purchase of at least one constituent element of the optional platform album is made, this can be smoothly applied to the aggregation of the album sales volume, thereby further improving the calculation accuracy of the album sales volume parameter value for determining the predetermined album ranking chart.

[0204] Also, in the embodiment, the application 111 can provide a made-to-order management service for each constituent element within the purchased optional platform album. (S111)

[0205] That is, in the embodiment, the application 111 can provide a made-to-order management service based on the constituent elements included in the settlement album.

[0206] Specifically, in the embodiment, the application 111 can provide a made-to-order management service based on the purchase authentication code provided for the digital content when the constituent elements included in the settlement album are digital content.

[0207] More specifically, in the embodiment, if the purchase authentication code is an offline authentication code (for example, a printed matter on which the purchase authentication code is displayed, etc.), the application 111 can sense the offline authentication code via the image sensor 161 and perform a purchase authentication process for the digital content.

[0208] Then, when the purchase authentication is completed, the application 111 can stream (download) the digital content (for example, digital audio source and / or video, etc.) to make it available for use.

[0209] Also, in the embodiment, if the purchase authentication code is an online authentication code (for example, a digital image displaying the purchase authentication code, etc.), the application 111 can input the online authentication code into a predetermined purchase authentication interface (for example, a purchase authentication interface provided by the service platform server 200, etc.) and perform a purchase authentication process for the digital content. When the purchase authentication is completed, the application 111 can stream (download) the digital content (for example, digital audio source and / or video, etc.) to make it available for use.

[0210] That is, the application 111 can support purchase authentication for the purchased digital content in either an online or offline manner, improving its convenience. Even if the purchase authentication code is not delivered offline, online purchase authentication is made possible, and the time and cost required to use the digital content can be more effectively reduced.

[0211] On the other hand, according to the embodiment, when a request for a refund (return) of the settlement album is made, the application 111 can determine whether to approve the refund (return) request based on the purchase authentication code.

[0212] Specifically, in the embodiment, if a refund (return) request for the settlement album is obtained, Application 111 can confirm whether the purchase authentication for the purchase authentication code matched with the settlement album is completed.

[0213] And if the purchase authentication code has been completed for purchase authentication, that is, if it is in a state where it has been used, Application 111 can disallow the refund (return) request.

[0214] On the contrary, if the purchase authentication of the purchase authentication code has not been completed, that is, if it is in an unused state, Application 111 can allow the refund (return) request.

[0215] Therefore, even before the album is delivered offline, Application 111 can prevent the refund (return) process for an album that has been properly used via the online, and can easily block side effects and abuse cases by using the online delivery process.

[0216] Also, in the embodiment, when the included component in the settlement album is a photo card, as described above, Application 111 can provide a made-to-order management service based on the randomly selected and provided random photo card.

[0217] Specifically, in the embodiment, Application 111 can perform a purchase authentication process for the photo card of the settlement album based on the purchase authentication code provided for the random photo card.

[0218] For the detailed description of this, the description of the purchase authentication process based on the purchase authentication code of the digital content described above shall apply mutatis mutandis.

[0219] That is, in the embodiment, the application 111 can assist in enabling purchase authentication for the purchased photo card in either an on / offline manner, enabling online purchase authentication even without delivering a purchase authentication code offline, and reducing the time and cost required to use photo card content based on the photo card.

[0220] Also, in the embodiment, the application 111 can provide a photo card management service based on the provided random photo card.

[0221] Here, the photo card management service according to the embodiment means a service that provides an owner authentication function for matching and storing a random photo card provided to a user (i.e., a purchaser) in the user account, a collecting function for managing (confirming / viewing / activating, etc.) the random photo card matched and stored in the user account in a predetermined manner (e.g., by album and / or the entire photo card list, etc.), and / or an upgrade function for combining (synthesizing / enhancing) a plurality of random photo cards.

[0222] Specifically, in the embodiment, the application 111 can provide 1) an owner authentication function for the random photo card.

[0223] More specifically, in the embodiment, the application 111 can obtain a photo card image obtained by photographing the random photo card based on the image sensor 161.

[0224] Also, in the embodiment, the application 111 can sense a card identification code (e.g., a QR code or a barcode, etc.) displayed on the random photo card based on the image sensor 161.

[0225] Then, the application 111 can obtain identification information (such as a card unique number, etc.) for identifying the random photo card based on the sensed card identification code.

[0226] Also, in the embodiment, the application 111 can match and store the photo card image and the card identification code obtained as described above in the user account.

[0227] Therefore, the application 111 can check the actual owner of a randomly selected and shipped photo card (i.e., a random photo card), smoothly provide the basic data that may be required for various user services utilizing this, and enable the user (i.e., the purchaser) to easily manage the random photo card they own not only as a physical photo card but also online in association with their own account.

[0228] FIG. 5 is an example of a diagram for explaining the photo card collecting function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0229] Also, as shown in FIG. 5, in the embodiment, the application 111 can provide a collecting function based on 2) the random photo card.

[0230] Specifically, in the embodiment, if the login by the user (i.e., the purchaser) account is approved, the application 111 can provide a photo card collecting interface CI that can manage (check / view / activate, etc.) at least one random photo card matched and stored in the user account in a predetermined manner.

[0231] In addition, in the embodiment, the application 111 can display and provide at least one random photo card image stored in association with the user account in a predetermined manner (for example, by album or the entire photo card list, etc.) based on the provided photo card collecting interface as described above.

[0232] At this time, in the embodiment, the application 111 can activate the photo card content for each random photo card stored in matching with the user account based on the photo card collecting interface CI.

[0233] Specifically, in the embodiment, the application 111 can select any one of at least one random photo card image based on the user input based on the photo card collecting interface CI.

[0234] In addition, in the embodiment, the application 111 can recognize the card identification code CIC and / or the digital content providing code DPC displayed on the selected random photo card image, and activate the photo card content which is digital content (for example, digital sound source and / or video, etc.) specifically realized through the random photo card.

[0235] That is, the application 111 can assist in enabling the user (i.e., the purchaser) to collectively check and manage all the photo cards purchased through one user interface (in the embodiment, the photo card collecting interface CI), and activate the digital content (in the embodiment, the photo card content) based on this, thereby enhancing the usability and utilization of the photo cards held by the user.

[0236] FIG. 6 is an example of a diagram for explaining the photo card upgrade function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0237] Also, as shown in FIG. 6, in the embodiment, the application 111 can provide 3) an upgrade function based on the random photo card.

[0238] Specifically, in the embodiment, the application 111 can provide an upgrade function of combining (synthesizing / enhancing) a plurality of random photo cards stored in association with a user account according to a predetermined criterion, as described above.

[0239] For example, the application 111 can combine the plurality of random photo cards using a preset artist, artist group, and / or combination condition (such as a specific concert and / or album related, etc.) as a predetermined criterion.

[0240] At this time, in the embodiment, the application 111 can provide compensation for the combination.

[0241] Specifically, in the embodiment, the application 111 can determine whether the combination according to the predetermined criterion is successful.

[0242] More specifically, the application 111 provides a predetermined quiz whose difficulty is adjusted based on a preset grade for each of the plurality of random photo cards that meet the predetermined criterion. If a correct answer input for the provided quiz is obtained, the combination can be successfully processed.

[0243] Here, the grade according to the embodiment is a predetermined factor representing the rarity of each random photo card. In the embodiment, such a grade can be set in the form of a predetermined number, alphabet, and / or star rating, etc.

[0244] As an embodiment, the grades can be determined by a predetermined administrator based on their rarity and specified in advance for each random photo card. At this time, the rarer the random photo card, the higher its grade can be.

[0245] For example, random photo cards of multiple types of A artists can have grades such as C grade / B grade / A grade / S grade / SS grade, etc., pre-matched according to their rarity.

[0246] Also, according to an embodiment, the grades can be set according to the content quantity (Quantity) and / or quality (Quality) of the NFTs matched to the corresponding random photo cards.

[0247] In an embodiment, the grades can be set to increase or decrease in proportion to the quantity and / or quality of the random photo card.

[0248] Going back further, more specifically, Application 111 can issue and provide a predetermined quiz whose difficulty is determined based on the grades for multiple random photo cards set in advance, as described above.

[0249] At this time, for example, the quiz may be an objective or subjective question related to the object (e.g., a specific artist (and / or artist group, etc.)) matched to the random photo card.

[0250] As an embodiment, when the grade of the photo card that can be obtained through the grades for the multiple random photo cards used by the user for combination (synthesis / enhancement) and / or the upgrade based on the multiple random photo cards is low, Application 111 can issue a quiz with a low difficulty level.

[0251] In contrast, in the embodiment, if the grade of the photo cards that can be obtained through the grades of the plurality of random photo cards and / or upgrades based on the plurality of random photo cards used by the user for combination (synthesis / enhancement) is high, the application 111 can present quizzes with high difficulty.

[0252] Through this, when the grades of the plurality of random photo cards and / or the obtainable photo cards are low, the application 111 can increase the user's combination success probability (correct answer probability), and when the grades of the plurality of random photo cards and / or the obtainable photo cards are high, the application 111 can decrease the user's combination success probability (correct answer probability).

[0253] That is, the application 111 provides quizzes with different levels of difficulty according to the grades of the plurality of random photo cards used for upgrading, and by controlling the correct answer probability (i.e., the combination (synthesis / enhancement) success probability), it provides additional photo cards and / or upper-level photo cards described below as compensation with an acquisition probability suitable for the grades of the plurality of random photo cards used for the upgrading, can appropriately maintain their rarity and value, and further can reduce the gambling nature in the combination (synthesis / enhancement) process.

[0254] Subsequently, in the embodiment, if the application 111 obtains a correct answer input for the predetermined quiz provided as described above, it can successfully process the combination (synthesis / enhancement) by the plurality of random photo cards.

[0255] Also, in the embodiment, if the combination (synthesis / enhancement) is successful, the application 111 can provide, as compensation, a predetermined privilege PK (for example, an offline fan meeting or a concert ticket purchase quota, or an NFT related to the album), additional photo cards, and / or upper-level photo cards.

[0256] Here, the additional photo card AC according to the embodiment can mean a random photo card that is additionally newly provided to the user (i.e., the purchaser) by the success of the combination.

[0257] At this time, in the embodiment, the manner in which the additional photo card AC is provided can be realized in the same manner as the manner in which the purchased photo card is provided, as described above. For a detailed description of this, the description of the purchased photo card providing method shall apply mutatis mutandis.

[0258] Also, the upper photo card UC according to the embodiment can mean a photo card that can be selected with a lower probability compared to the random selection probability of each of the plurality of random photo cards MC (hereinafter, a plurality of material photo cards) used in the combination (i.e., the probability that each of the plurality of material photo cards is randomly selected from among the plurality of photo cards pre-generated for the optional platform album).

[0259] That is, the upper photo card UC may be a rarer photo card with a lower acquisition probability (i.e., a higher grade) compared to the material photo card MC used in the combination.

[0260] In this way, the application 111 enables at least a part (in the embodiment, a plurality of material photo cards MC) of the plurality of random photo cards held by the user (i.e., the purchaser) to be combined in a predetermined manner, and by providing compensation therefor, it is possible to further improve the user's (i.e., the purchaser's) interest and enthusiasm for the photo cards of the optional platform album, and also to further increase its purchase rate.

[0261] At this time, in the embodiment, if the application 111 provides the upper photo card UC as described above as the compensation, it can execute a return process for the plurality of material photo cards MC used in the combination.

[0262] Specifically, in an embodiment, the application 111 can provide a card return interface that applies for the return of physical photo cards (hereinafter, material physical photo cards) for the plurality of material photo cards MC and supports the return delivery process thereby.

[0263] Also, in an embodiment, if the return of the material physical photo card is completed based on the card return interface, the application 111 can execute a process of offline delivering a physical photo card (hereinafter, upper physical photo card) for the upper photo card UC provided as compensation for the combination to the user (i.e., the purchaser).

[0264] Through this, the application 111 can limit the indiscriminate supply of photo cards and easily preserve their rarity.

[0265] According to an embodiment, if the application 111 provides an upper photo card as described above as the compensation, it can also execute a discard authentication process for the plurality of material photo cards used in the combination.

[0266] Specifically, in an embodiment, the application 111 can obtain a photo card inactivation authentication factor for the plurality of material photo cards.

[0267] Here, the photo card inactivation authentication factor according to the embodiment can be an inactivation identification code and / or a discard image, etc. in the embodiment as a predetermined means for authenticating the inactivation (i.e., discard) of the plurality of material photo cards.

[0268] At this time, the inactivation identification code according to the embodiment can mean a predetermined identification code (for example, a predetermined serial number, QR code, and / or barcode, etc.) that appears externally when removing the scratch field on each physical photo card of the plurality of material photo cards.

[0269] That is, in the embodiment, when the scratch field is removed in a predetermined manner (for example, scratched with small change, etc.), it may be an area that displays the inactivation identification code hidden under the scratch field.

[0270] Such an inactivation identification code can be stored and managed by being matched with the card identification code corresponding to the corresponding physical photo card.

[0271] On the other hand, the waste image according to the embodiment can mean an image and / or video that captures the scene of performing a waste act (for example, incineration and / or cutting act, etc.) on each physical photo card of the plurality of material photo cards.

[0272] In the embodiment, such a waste image can include a frame that captures and displays the card identification code of the corresponding physical photo card. If it is a waste image lacking the frame including the card identification code, in the future, waste authentication based on this may not be approved.

[0273] Going back further, in the embodiment, the application 111 can obtain a photo card inactivation authentication factor for the plurality of material photo cards based on an inactivation photo card image that captures the plurality of material photo cards displaying the inactivation identification code and / or user input for inputting the inactivation identification code.

[0274] As an embodiment, the application 111 performs image recognition based on the deactivated photo card image and can detect at least one deactivated identification code included in the deactivated photo card image.

[0275] Then, the application 111 can obtain the detected deactivated identification code as the deactivation authentication factor.

[0276] Alternatively, as an embodiment, the application 111 can also obtain the deactivated identification code for each of the corresponding plurality of material photo cards as the deactivation authentication factor based on a user input for inputting the deactivated identification code.

[0277] Also, in an embodiment, the application 111 can obtain the photo card deactivation authentication factor for the plurality of material photo cards based on a user input for providing a discarded image for the plurality of material photo cards.

[0278] Specifically, in an embodiment, the application 111 can obtain a user input for taking a discarded image as described above and registering it on the platform.

[0279] Then, the application 111 can perform image analysis on the obtained discarded image to determine whether the plurality of material photo cards have been properly discarded.

[0280] As an embodiment, the application 111 can determine whether the physical photo card in the discarded image matches the physical photo card for the plurality of material photo cards based on the card identification code frame in the discarded image.

[0281] In addition, if, as a result of the determination, it is determined that the physical photo card for the plurality of material photo cards matches, Application 111 can determine whether a disposal act has been performed on the plurality of material photo cards based on image analysis of the disposal image.

[0282] For example, Application 111 can determine whether the material photo cards in the disposal image are incinerated or cut to a predetermined standard or more through image analysis based on the disposal image.

[0283] In addition, if it is determined that the disposal act has been performed so as to meet a predetermined standard, Application 111 can acquire the disposal image as the inactivation authentication factor.

[0284] In addition, in an embodiment, Application 111 can perform a disposal process on the plurality of material photo cards based on the acquired photo card inactivation authentication factor.

[0285] Specifically, in an embodiment, if Application 111 acquires all the photo card inactivation authentication factors for each of the plurality of material photo cards, it can perform a disposal process of removing the plurality of material photo cards on an online platform.

[0286] More specifically, in an embodiment, Application 111 can detect a card identification code for each of the plurality of material photo cards for which the photo card inactivation authentication factor has been acquired.

[0287] At this time, if the inactivation authentication factor is the above-described inactivation identification code, Application 111 can extract a card identification code that is matched and managed by the inactivation identification code and perform the above-described functional operations.

[0288] Alternatively, if the inactivation authentication factor is the discarded image described above, the application 111 can extract the card identification code based on the card identification code frame in the discarded image and perform the above-described functional operations.

[0289] Also, in the embodiment, the application 111 can perform a discard process of deleting the photo card image (i.e., digital photo card) that matches the card identification code detected as described above on the corresponding user account and platform.

[0290] Also, in the embodiment, if the application 111 completes the discard process for the plurality of material photo cards in the above-described manner, it can provide the upper-level photo card obtained based on the plurality of material photo cards to the user (i.e., the purchaser).

[0291] Specifically, in the embodiment, the application 111 can provide the upper-level physical photo card according to the embodiment to the user via offline delivery.

[0292] Also, in the embodiment, the application 111 can provide the photo card image (i.e., upper-level digital photo card) of the upper-level photo card according to the embodiment to the user via online delivery.

[0293] According to the embodiment, the application 111 can also provide the upper-level physical photo card provided via the offline delivery to the user by matching it with the corresponding user account and registering it online in the manner of the above-described owner authentication function.

[0294] In this way, only when the application 111 authenticates the disposal of the material photo card or the like used for the upgrade, can it provide the user with the upper photo card obtained via the material photo card or the like, thereby assisting in restricting the indiscriminate supply of photo cards and maintaining rarity, automating the disposal authentication for each material photo card, and minimizing the loss that a person has to check and authenticate one by one.

[0295] FIG. 7 is an example of a diagram for explaining a plurality of photo card content combining methods according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0296] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, in the embodiment, if the combination according to the predetermined criteria is successful, the application 111 can combine the photo card contents of the plurality of material photo cards MC used for the combination as one content.

[0297] Specifically, in the embodiment, the application 111 can combine the photo card contents provided from each of the plurality of material photo cards MC according to a predetermined criterion (for example, by the same or similar content type, etc.) to generate one content (hereinafter, integrated content).

[0298] As an embodiment, if the first photo card content of the first material photo card is the first digital sound source content 11 and the second photo card content of the second material photo card is the second digital sound source content 12, the application 111 can generate the third digital sound source content 13 obtained by combining the first digital sound source content 11 and the second digital sound source content 12 into one as the integrated content.

[0299] Also, as an embodiment, if the first photo card content of the first material photo card is the first digital video content 21 and the second photo card content of the second material photo card is the second digital video content 22, the application 111 can generate the third digital video content 23 obtained by combining the first digital video content 21 and the second digital video content 22 into one as integrated content.

[0300] Thus, for example, if one digital sound source is separated into the first digital sound source content 11 and the second digital sound source content 12 and provided as the photo card content of each of a plurality of photo cards, when the combination of the plurality of photo cards is successful, the first digital sound source content 11 and the second digital sound source content 12 can be combined into one to obtain a complete digital sound source (i.e., the integrated content according to the embodiment).

[0301] As another example, if one digital video (e.g., one full concert image or one full music video image, etc.) is separated into the first digital video content 21 and the second digital video content 22 and provided as the photo card content of each of a plurality of photo cards, when the combination of the plurality of photo cards is successful, the first digital video content 21 and the second digital video content 22 can be combined into one to obtain a complete digital video (i.e., the integrated content according to the embodiment).

[0302] In this way, if the combination based on the plurality of random photo cards is successful according to a predetermined standard, the application 111 can combine the photo card contents provided by each of the plurality of random photo cards as one integrated content and provide it, thereby providing a higher synchronization for the random photo card collection. Through this, it is possible to further enhance the purchase needs and desires of the user (i.e., the purchaser) for the random photo card.

[0303] As described above, the service providing method and its system based on the optional platform album according to the embodiment of the present invention can prevent problems such as unnecessary settlement and purchase for configurations that the user does not desire, which are induced when providing the platform album only in a fully packaged state including all components, by providing a service based on the optional platform album that can be purchased by selectively setting the purchase option PO. Thereby, there is an effect that wasted resources and their costs can be reduced.

[0304] Also, the service providing method and its system based on the optional platform album according to the embodiment of the present invention can fluidly determine the album purchase cost according to the components directly selected according to the needs of the purchaser when purchasing an online-based platform album, by providing a made-to-order platform album including the components selected according to the needs of the purchaser. Through this, it is possible to prevent excessive expenditure due to unnecessary consumption and support the purchase procedure to be carried out based on a more reasonably calculated album purchase cost.

[0305] In addition, the service providing method and system based on the option-type platform album according to the embodiment of the present invention can more accurately and reliably tabulate the album rankings in a specific chart based on official and objective sales data collected over a larger area by assisting in tabulating the sales volume of the option-type platform album purchased as described above based on the unique number and delivery code (invoice number) of the album.

[0306] In addition, the service providing method and system based on the option-type platform album according to the embodiment of the present invention assist in easily reflecting the sales of the purchased option-type platform album in the tabulation of the album sales volume for calculating the album ranking in a specific chart based on the unique number and delivery code (invoice number) of the purchased option-type platform album, so that even the purchase of at least one component of the option-type platform album can be smoothly applied to the tabulation of the album sales volume, thereby further improving the accuracy of calculating the album sales volume parameter value for determining a predetermined album ranking chart.

[0307] In addition, the service providing method and system based on the option-type platform album according to the embodiment of the present invention provide a purchase authentication code and / or a random photo card related to the purchased option-type platform album, and provide an order-made management service based on this, thereby improving the interest and enthusiasm of the purchaser for the option-type platform album and further enhancing the purchase desire thereof.

[0308] On the one hand, the embodiments of the present invention described above can be realized in the form of program instruction words that can be executed via various computer components and can be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium.
