Description

[[Technical Field]]

[0001] The present invention relates to a content management system, a content management method, and a program. [[Background Art]]

[0002] When using various electronic contents including not only character information but also images, audio, video, and the like on the Internet, users bookmark a huge number of web pages of respective contents in advance, and each content is accessed using the bookmark function. Since electronic contents are diverse, there is a need for a technology that efficiently manages bookmarks for accessing such contents.

[0003] For example, a technology has been disclosed (Patent Document 1) that extracts preset words from text information of a web site to be bookmarked, classifies the web site based on the frequency of occurrence of the extracted words, and displays one or more classified bookmarks as a list.

[0004] [[Patent Document 1]] Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2008-287636 [[Summary of the Invention]] [[Problem to be Solved by the Invention]]

[0005] However, with the technology of Patent Document 1, although classification can be performed based on text information corresponding to preset words, contents other than text information such as images, audio, and video cannot be classified, and thus bookmarks for such contents cannot be efficiently managed. In view of the above, the inventor conceived that bookmarks for accessing various electronic contents can be efficiently managed by converting the bookmarks into images resembling the highly visible spines of books and arranging the images as if they were stored on a bookshelf.

[0006] Accordingly, the present invention aims to provide a content management system that generates a content spine for using the electronic content from the content information of the electronic content to be used, and displays the content spines in a horizontal row, thereby enabling the management of various electronic content in a cross-sectional list. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention includes a first acquisition unit that acquires content information, which includes at least text information, image information, audio information, and video information of electronic content, A generation unit analyzes the acquired content information and generates a content spine consisting of a title string and a spine image, An output unit that outputs the generated content spine in association with the content information, The present invention provides a content management system comprising a display unit that displays the outputted spine labels of the content in a horizontal row.

[0008] Although this invention falls under the category of a system, similar effects and benefits can be achieved with methods and programs. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the present invention, a highly visible content spine for using the electronic content is generated from the content information of the electronic content to be used, and by displaying the content spines in a horizontal row, it becomes possible to manage various electronic content in a comprehensive list.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. In the following drawings, the same elements are denoted by the same numbers or reference numerals throughout the description of the embodiments. In the context of the content management system, "electronic content" refers to, for example, electronic content available on the internet, which may include text content, image content, audio content, and video content viewed using a web browser. However, this electronic content is not limited to content available on the internet; it may also include, for example, text, images, audio, music, videos, ebooks, and other electronic content and applications stored on a computer.

[0012] [Basic Overview of Content Management System 1] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating the overview of the content management system 1. Figure 2 is a flowchart showing the basic processing performed by the computer 2 in this embodiment. Figure 3 is a schematic image showing an electronic bookshelf 140 with content spine labels 130 displayed on the user terminal 4 in this embodiment, and a schematic image showing electronic content 100 associated with the content spine labels 130. The basic overview of the content management system 1 will be explained based on Figures 1 to 3.

[0013] The content management system 1 in this embodiment consists of at least a computer 2 having server functionality. It generates content spine labels 130 for using electronic content 100 from content information 120 of the electronic content 100 to be used, and outputs the generated content spine labels 130 in a horizontal row. This allows for the management of various electronic content 100 in a cross-sectional list, thereby enabling efficient management of electronic content. As shown in Figure 1, the content management system 1 in this embodiment includes a computer 2 and a user terminal 4 used by a user 3 to display and use at least electronic content 100.

[0014] Computer 2 has server functionality and may be implemented using, for example, a single computer, or multiple computers, like a cloud computer. In the embodiments of this specification, Computer 2 is a cloud computer. A cloud computer as defined herein may be one that uses any computer scalably to perform a particular function, or one that includes multiple functional modules to implement a certain system, and uses those functions in any combination. The user terminal 4 is, for example, an information terminal such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, a laptop computer, or a virtual reality headset, and the number of such user terminals may be one or more for each user. The user terminal 4 in the embodiment of the present specification is a smartphone. Note that the computer 2 and the user terminal 4 may be communicably connected via the network 10.

[0015] An outline of processing steps when the content management system 1 generates a content spine 130 for managing electronic content to be used will be described.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 1, the computer 2 of the content management system 1 in the present embodiment acquires content information 120 including at least character information 101, image information 102, audio information 103, and video information 104 of the electronic content 100 (step S1).

[0017] Here, the acquisition of the content information 120 by the computer 2 is performed by a first acquisition module 200 described later. The acquisition of the content information 120 by the first acquisition module 200 of the computer 2 may be acquired from the electronic content on the Internet, or may be acquired from the electronic content stored in the computer 2. Further, for example, the user 3 may arbitrarily directly input and change the content information 120 of the electronic content 100 to acquire it. Further, the acquisition timing by the first acquisition module 200 is not limited. Note that the content information 120 is content information 120 including at least character information 101, image information 102, audio information 103, and video information 104, and may be information including at least, for example, the source code, property data, title, creator, creation date and time, update date and time, price, International Standard Book Number (ISBN), publication medium, URL, providing method, image, video, and audio of the electronic content 100.

[0018] Next, the generation module 220 of the computer 2 of the content management system 1 in this embodiment analyzes the content information 120, which is obtained from the electronic content 100 as content information 120 consisting of text information 101, image information 102, audio information 103, and video information 104, and generates a content spine 130 consisting of a title string 131 and a spine image 132 (step S2).

[0019] Here, text information 101, image information 102, audio information 103, and video information 104 refer to, for example, information about the electronic content stored on a website and a server corresponding to the website, where text information 101 may be text data, source code, property data of the electronic content, etc., image information 102 may be photographic data, audio information 103 may be audio and music data, and video information 104 may be video data, and the format is not limited.

[0020] For example, if the electronic content 100 is a blog site, and the source code and text of the blog site are obtained as character information 101, the generation module 220 of the content management system 1 in this embodiment analyzes the title name of the blog site from the title tag of the character information 101 and generates the title name as the title string 131 of the content spine 130. Furthermore, if the background image of the blog site is acquired as image information 102 at the same time, the generation module 220 of the content management system 1 in this embodiment generates the background image as the spine image 132 of the content spine 130. In this embodiment, the generation module 220 of the content management system 1 generates a content spine 130 from the generated title string 131 and spine image 132. The generated title string 131 and spine image 132 may be one or more, and multiple content spines 130 may be generated as content spine candidates by combining the generated title string 131 and spine image 132, and the user 3 may arbitrarily select from the generated content spine candidates to become the content spine 130.

[0021] Furthermore, the title string 131 and / or spine image 132 of the content spine 130 may be generated by the user 3 arbitrarily selecting the title string and / or spine image, respectively, that have been previously stored on the computer 2.

[0022] Next, the output module 230 of the computer 2 of the content management system 1 in this embodiment outputs the generated content spine 130 and content information 120 in association (step S3).

[0023] Here, the content information 120 associated with the content spine 130 is content information for using the electronic content 100, and includes, for example, address information of the electronic content 100 such as a URL. The associated content information 120 can be arbitrarily set by the user 3, for example, by separately registering the URL, title, and name of the production company, and / or by pre-setting or changing the type and number of associated content information 120.

[0024] Next, the display module 240 of the computer 2 of the content management system 1 in this embodiment displays the content spines 130 in a horizontal row, as shown in Figure 3 (step S4).

[0025] The content spine 130 may be displayed as an electronic bookshelf 140 on the bookshelf image 110 acquired by the second acquisition module 210 of the computer 2 in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 3. Here, the bookshelf image 110 is a bookshelf image that represents an electronic bookshelf, and the format of the bookshelf image 110 is not limited. Also, the timing of acquisition of the bookshelf image 110 by the second acquisition module 210 is not limited, and the bookshelf image 110 to be displayed may be arbitrarily selected by the user 3.

[0026] The electronic bookshelf 140 is an electronic bookshelf 140 for user 3 to use electronic content, and is an electronic bookshelf 140 on which one or more content spines 130, each associated with content information corresponding to the electronic content, are output. For example, as shown in the upper part of Figure 3, when a content spine 130 in the electronic bookshelf 140 displayed on the user terminal 4 is selected, the electronic content 100 is displayed via a hyperlink, which is the content information 120 of the electronic content 100 associated with the content spine 130, as shown in the lower part of Figure 3. Note that the hyperlink may not only be directly attached to the content spine 130, but may also be attached to a separate pop-up display that appears when the content spine 130 is selected, or to an item display corresponding to the content spine 130, thereby indirectly displaying the electronic content 100 associated with the content spine 130.

[0027] The above is an overview of the content management system 1 in this embodiment. With a content management system like the one described above, it becomes possible to efficiently manage various types of electronic content by listing and managing them across different platforms.

[0028] [Basic configuration] Figure 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the content management system 1. Based on Figure 4, the basic configuration of the content management system 1 will be explained.

[0029] As shown in Figure 4, the content management system 1 in this embodiment consists of a computer 2 and a user terminal 4. In this embodiment, the content management system 1 is a system in which a computer 2 is connected to a user terminal 4 via a network 10 such as a public telephone network, enabling data communication. In addition to the computer 2 and user terminal 4, the content management system 1 may also include other terminals and devices, and the number, types, and functions of these other terminals and devices can be designed as appropriate.

[0030] Computer 2 includes, as a control unit, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), etc.; as a storage unit, a data storage unit using a hard disk, semiconductor memory, recording media, memory card, etc.; and as a communication unit, a device for enabling communication with other terminals and devices, such as a Wi-Fi-enabled device (not shown). The storage unit may be located externally and accessible via network communication.

[0031] Computer 2 includes a first acquisition module 200 as a first acquisition unit that acquires content information 120 of electronic content 100, which includes at least the title, creator, creation date and time, update date and time, price, International Standard Book Number (ISBN), publication medium, URL, method of provision, image, video, and audio; a generation module 220 as a generation unit that generates a content spine 130 consisting of a title string 131 and a spine image 132 from the acquired content information 120; an output module 230 as an output unit that outputs the generated content spine 130 in association with the content information 120; and a display module 240 as a display unit that displays the outputted content spine 130 in a horizontal row. Furthermore, the system includes a second acquisition module 210, which acquires bookshelf images 110 for the electronic bookshelf 140, as a second acquisition unit.

[0032] As shown in Figure 4, in computer 2, the control unit loads a predetermined program and, in cooperation with the storage unit and communication unit (not shown), realizes the first acquisition module 200, the second acquisition module 210, the generation module 220, the output module 230, and the display module 240.

[0033] User terminal 4 includes a terminal control unit comprising a CPU, GPU, RAM, ROM, etc., a communication unit comprising devices for enabling communication with other terminals and devices, etc., and an input / output unit comprising various devices that perform tasks such as receiving predetermined inputs and inputting / outputting various data (not shown).

[0034] The above describes the basic configuration of Content Management System 1. Below, each process performed by Content Management System 1 will be explained in conjunction with the processes performed by the aforementioned components. In this specification, each component may perform its processing as a function of its own, or it may perform it through a predetermined application.

[0035] [Spine image generation process] This section describes the spine image generation process performed by computer 2 of the content management system 1. The spine image 132 is an image resembling the spine of a book, and by displaying the title string 131 within the spine image 132, it becomes the content spine 130.

[0036] The spine image generation process performed by the computer 2 of the content management system 1 in this embodiment is a process to generate the spine image 132 in the process in which the generation module 220 in this embodiment generates a content spine 130 consisting of a title string 131 and a spine image 132, from content information 120 which includes at least text information 101, image information 102, audio information 103, and video information 104 acquired from the electronic content 100 by the first acquisition module 200 in this embodiment described above.

[0037] First, the first acquisition module 200 acquires at least content information 120, which includes at least text information 101, image information 102, audio information 103, and video information 104.

[0038] Next, the acquired content information 120 is analyzed and classified based on the text information 101, image information 102, audio information 103, and video information 104 to determine whether the content information 120 is text content 50, audio content 60, or video content 70. Here, the classification of content information 120 may be based on criteria set by the user, for example, by the percentage of content of text information 101, image information 102, audio information 103, and video information 104. For example, if text information 101 accounts for 90% and image information 102 accounts for 10%, the content information is classified as text content 50 such as an e-book or a blog site. Furthermore, the content information can be classified by its file format; for example, .txt is text content (50), .mp3 is audio content (60), and .mov is video content (70). Furthermore, the content may be classified according to the medium (service) through which it is distributed. For example, if the medium is a blog site, it may be classified as text content 50; if it is an audio distribution site, it may be classified as audio content 60; and if it is a video sharing site, it may be classified as video content 70. In addition, if multiple types of content information are mixed on the content distribution medium, users may classify them as they see fit.

[0039] The width and / or height of the spine image 132 of the content spine 130 is generated according to the criteria established for each content category: text content 50, audio content 60, and video content 70. Here, the criteria may be, for example, when the spine image 132 corresponding to text content 50 is set as the criterion, the number of characters, number of pages, estimated reading time, data volume, etc., in the text information 101 of the content information 120 classified as text content 50. Here, if the content information 120 of the newly generated spine image 132 is text content 50, the width and / or height of the spine image 132 may be relatively increased or decreased based on the number of characters, number of pages, estimated reading time, etc.

[0040] Furthermore, if the content information 120 of the newly generated spine image 132 is audio content 60 or video content 70, the playback time and data capacity of each may be used as reference values, and the width and / or height of the newly generated audio content 60 or video content 70 spine image 132 may be relatively increased or decreased, similar to the generation of the spine image 132 for the text content 50 described above.

[0041] Furthermore, the reference values ​​for generating the spine image 132 are not limited to the number of characters, number of pages, estimated reading time, playback time, or data capacity, and one or more reference values ​​may be set for each type of content. In addition, conversion coefficients may be set between the set reference values ​​for conversion. For example, if the target electronic content 100 consists of multiple types of content, the spine image 132 of the text content 50 that constitutes the electronic content 100 may be generated using the reference value of the video content 70 that constitutes the electronic content 100 and a coefficient corresponding to the text content, thereby generating a spine image 132 in which the width and / or height of the spine image of the text content and the spine image of the video content generated from the electronic content 100 are relatively increased or decreased, respectively. By establishing the aforementioned reference values ​​and coefficients, it becomes possible to visually grasp the relative amount of content from the width and height of the content spine 130, even for different types of content. Furthermore, the width of the generated spine image 132 may be set with upper and lower limits for each classified content category.

[0042] Furthermore, the text content 50, audio content 60, and video content 70 can each be further classified in detail. For example, in the video content 70, themes and genres such as music video content, seminar video content, and movie content may be further defined, and a standard value and a coefficient for conversion to other standard values ​​may be set for each. In the case of audio content 60, if multiple narrators (readers) are provided and the playback time differs for each narrator, a coefficient may be set for each narrator, and a content spine 130 with a width or height corresponding to the coefficient for each narrator may be generated.

[0043] Furthermore, if the acquired content information 120 includes an image corresponding to the content spine 130, that image may be generated as the spine image 132 of the content spine 130. When generating the image as the spine image 132, the width and / or height may be adjusted based on the above-mentioned reference values ​​and coefficients. The generated content spine 130 may be a pre-set standard content spine image for each classified content category or for items classified in more detail. The standard content spine image may consist of one or more types for each item, with a range of values ​​set for each standard content spine, and the spine image 132 may be selected in accordance with the value converted by the reference values ​​and coefficients.

[0044] The above describes the spine image generation process performed by computer 2 of the content management system 1.

[0045] [Title string generation process] This section describes the title string generation process performed by computer 2 of the content management system 1. The title string 131 refers to the title string 131 displayed within the spine image 132 of the content spine 130.

[0046] In this embodiment, the title string generation process performed by the computer 2 of the content management system 1 is a process that generates a title string 131 to be displayed on the content spine 130 from the acquired content information 120, similar to the spine image generation process described above.

[0047] First, similar to the spine image generation process described above, the first acquisition module 200 acquires at least content information 120 which includes at least text information 101, image information 102, audio information 103, and video information 104.

[0048] Next, the generation module 220 of the computer 2 of the content management system 1 in this embodiment analyzes the title information 105 of the electronic content 100 from the acquired content information 120, including the character information 101, image information 102, audio information 103, and video information 104, and generates a title string 131 from the title information 105. Here, the title information 105 is the character information 101 that indicates the title of the content, such as the title tag of the program code of the electronic content 100.

[0049] Here, the title string 131 to be generated is not limited to the title information 105, but any string may be generated from the acquired content information 120, for example, character information such as the file name, the folder name in which the electronic content is stored, the author's name, the creation date, and media information, as the title string 131. Furthermore, the generation module 220 of the computer 2 of the content management system 1 in this embodiment may extract strings depicted as images and videos from the image information 102 and video information 104 to generate a title string 131. Note that the extraction of strings from images and videos may be generated using a learning model described later. Additionally, the user 3 may arbitrarily set the title string 131.

[0050] The title string 131 of the generated content spine 130 may be adjusted in terms of orientation, size, font type, etc., according to the generated spine image 132, and displayed on the spine image 132 as the generated content spine 130.

[0051] The above describes the title string generation process executed by computer 2 of content management system 1.

[0052] [Training model creation process] Figure 5 shows an overview of the learning model creation process and the learning model creation process flow executed by computer 2 in this embodiment. Figure 6 is a configuration diagram of the learning model creation process executed by computer 2 in this embodiment. Based on Figures 5 and 6, the learning model creation process executed by computer 2 of the content management system 1 will be described.

[0053] The learning model creation process performed by the computer 2 of the content management system 1 is a process for creating a learning model 150 used to efficiently generate a content spine 130 based on content information 120 acquired from electronic content 100 by the generation module 220 of the content management system 1 in the above-described embodiment.

[0054] As shown in Figure 5, in this embodiment, the computer 2 first acquires content information 120 which includes at least character information 101, image information 102, audio information 103, and video information 104 (step S100). Next, the generation module 220 extracts a string from the acquired content information 120 (step S110). Then, the learning model creation module 250 creates a learning model 150 that associates the acquired content information 120 with the string extracted as the title string 131 (step S120).

[0055] Here, the learning model 150 may be created by adding the extracted string to the content information 120 as annotation data. Annotation data is training data for training a machine learning model, and there are no particular limitations on how the annotation data is added; it may be added manually or by using an automated tagging tool such as an annotation tool.

[0056] As shown in Figure 6, in addition to the basic configuration described above, the computer 2 further includes a learning model creation module 250, which, as a learning model creation unit, creates a learning model 150 that extracts a string as a title string 131 from content information 120 which includes at least acquired character information 101, image information 102, audio information 103, and video information 104.

[0057] As shown in Figure 6, in computer 2, the control unit loads a predetermined program and, in cooperation with the storage unit and the communication unit (not shown), realizes the learning model creation module 250.

[0058] The above describes the learning model creation process in this embodiment. By creating the learning model 150 through this learning model creation process, the generation module 220 in this embodiment can efficiently generate content spine labels 130 from newly acquired content information 120 based on the created learning model 150.

[0059] [Icon generation process] Figure 7 is a diagram showing the icon generation process flow of the icon generation process executed by computer 2 in this embodiment. Figure 8 is a configuration diagram of the icon generation process executed by computer 2 in this embodiment. Figure 9 is a schematic image showing the electronic bookshelf 140 with the content spine 130 and icon 160 output, which are displayed on the user terminal 4 in this embodiment. Based on Figures 7 to 9, the icon generation process executed by computer 2 of the content management system 1 will be described.

[0060] The icon generation process performed by the computer 2 of the content management system 1 is a process for generating an icon 160 indicating the genre of the electronic content 100 from the content information 120 of the acquired electronic content 100, and outputting it to the spine 130 of the content.

[0061] As shown in Figure 7, the computer 2 of this embodiment, similar to the basic outline described above, first acquires the content information 120 of the electronic content 100 and the bookshelf image 110 using the first acquisition module 200 and the second acquisition module 210 (step S200). The content information 120 and the bookshelf image 110 may be acquired from the electronic content on the Internet, as described above, or from electronic content stored in the computer 2. For example, user 3 may arbitrarily input and change the content information 120 of the electronic content 100. Furthermore, the timing of acquisition by the first acquisition module 200 and the second acquisition module 210 is not limited.

[0062] Next, the icon generation module 260 of the computer 2 in this embodiment generates icons 160a corresponding to text content 50, 160b corresponding to audio content 60, and 160c corresponding to video content 70, from the content information 120 of the acquired electronic content 100, for example, as classified by the generation module 220 described above (step S210).

[0063] Next, the output module 230 of the computer 2 in this embodiment outputs at least one icon 160 corresponding to the content spine 130 generated by the generation module 220 from the content information 120 within the bookshelf image 110 (step S220). Note that the output location of the icon 160 is not limited to within the bookshelf image 110, and may be output to, for example, a pop-up display area or item display area associated with the content spine 130.

[0064] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 7, the display module 240 of the computer 2 in this embodiment displays the bookshelf image 110, which has the content spine 130 and icon 160 output, as an electronic bookshelf 140 (step S230). Here, as shown in Figure 9, for example, if the electronic content 100 is video content, the icon 160c of the video content corresponding to the content spine 130 output in the electronic bookshelf 140 is displayed. Note that the display location of the icon is not limited; for example, as shown in Figure 9, it may be displayed superimposed on the content spine 130, or it may be displayed side by side above the content spine 130.

[0065] As shown in Figure 8, in addition to the basic configuration described above, computer 2 further includes an icon generation module 260, which generates an icon 160 indicating the type of content from the acquired content information 120, as an icon generation unit.

[0066] As shown in Figure 8, in the same basic configuration as described above, the control unit in computer 2 loads a predetermined program and, in cooperation with the storage unit and communication unit (not shown), realizes the icon generation module 260.
