Conventional music management programs, such as 'Music on Manager', which manages paid mp3 or streaming media files, can be used when the MP3 player, music player installed on a PC or mobile phone is turned off and then on again. By providing a bookmark to designate the playback point, the user can listen to the part that he listened to just before power off.

However, the conventional music management program provides only one bookmark to point to the last playback point of the media file played just before playback interruption occurs, and can store the last playback point of the last played media file by genre. If the genre to be played back is changed or playback interruption occurs when the music player is turned off, the user has no choice but to listen again from the beginning of the selected genre or search for and listen to the last listened part by himself.

For example, if a language genre is selected as the genre to be played again when the music player is turned on after being turned off after the media file included in the music genre is played after the media file included in the language genre is played, the user may select the music. Since the last playback point of a media file that was listened to in a language genre immediately before the genre cannot be listened to, it is inconvenient to listen to the media file in the language genre from the beginning or to search for the final play point.

Accordingly, in order to solve such inconveniences, a technique for storing information about a media file last played for each genre and a final playback point is required.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, so that there is no inconvenience to search for the last playback point of the last played media file in each genre, or to listen to the media file in each genre from the beginning, by genre It is an object of the present invention to provide a bookmark service providing method and system for storing information on a last playback point to enable a user to listen to a media file more easily.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a method and system for providing a bookmark service that enables subsequent listening for each genre by allowing a multi-selection of the last played media file and the last played point in each genre.

In addition, when a plurality of media files are included in each genre, the present invention stores information on the final playback point corresponding to each of the plurality of media files in each genre, so that a user can easily listen to the media file. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bookmark service providing method and system.

The present invention also manages bookmarks corresponding to each genre to search for related bookmarks in any genre selected by the user and to use the searched bookmarks to play the media files in the genre from the last playback point. We aim to establish environment to do.

In addition, the present invention is to manage the bookmarks to correspond to each of the media files in the genre, to search for a related bookmark even for any media file in a specific genre selected by the user, by using the searched bookmark, the media file in the genre is the last An object of the present invention is to provide an environment in which reproduction is performed from a reproduction point.

In order to achieve the object of the present invention as described above, the bookmark service providing method according to the present invention comprises the steps of: generating a bookmark containing the playback information associated with each genre, by mapping the generated bookmark to each of the genres Storing in a bookmark store, identifying a genre selected by the user, searching for a bookmark corresponding to the identified genre in the bookmark store, and using the playback information of the found bookmark Causing the media file to be played.

In addition, a bookmark service providing system according to an aspect of the present invention, a bookmark generation unit for generating a bookmark including playback information associated with each genre, a bookmark storage for storing the generated bookmarks corresponding to each of the genres, A bookmark search unit that checks the genre selected by the user, searches for a bookmark corresponding to the identified genre in the bookmark store, and plays the media file in the identified genre by using the playback information of the searched bookmark; And a media file reproducing unit.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a bookmark service providing method and system according to the present invention will be described in detail.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of a bookmark service providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The bookmark service providing method may be implemented by the bookmark service providing system of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the case where a single media file is classified in a genre will be described.

In step S110, the bookmark service providing system determines whether a genre to play is selected by the user.

In this case, the genre may be a classification criterion for dividing a plurality of media files, and may be exemplified as a language, a pop song, a song, and an OST. The genre may be set in advance by an operator of the present system or may be set by a user in some cases, and the bookmark service providing system may classify media files having the same attribute into the set genre, thereby enabling the same / similar attribute. It is used to distinguish media files.

For example, by the operator of the system, the genre 'domestic, foreign,…' 'Is set, the bookmark service providing system is set to the genre' domestic, foreign, ... And the attributes of the media file, each of the media files can be classified into the corresponding genre. In the present specification, the bookmark service providing system of the present invention is described as limited to genre classification of the media file, but this is for convenience of description, and according to an embodiment, an operator or a user directly performs genre classification processing on the media file. Of course you can.

If it is determined in step S110 that the genre to play is selected by the user, in step S120 the bookmark service providing system searches for a bookmark corresponding to the selected genre from the bookmark store. To this end, the bookmark service providing system stores a bookmark including play information associated with each genre in a bookmark store corresponding to each genre.

The bookmark may be generated to include playback information in association with each genre.

The play information may be a kind of information generated in connection with playing a media file in a specific genre. For example, the play information may be generated by a bookmark service providing system using a last play point of a media file in a genre in which play was finally performed. have.

The bookmark service providing system generates a bookmark corresponding to the genre that the user has previously selected, and stores the bookmark in the bookmark repository by matching the generated bookmark with the genre.

That is, step S120 is a process of searching for bookmarks corresponding to the genre selected by the user in the bookmark store.

As a result of the search in step S120, in step S130, the bookmark service providing system determines whether a bookmark corresponding to the selected genre exists in the bookmark store.

If it is determined in step S130 that a bookmark corresponding to the selected genre does not exist in the bookmark store, in step S140, the bookmark service providing system causes the media file in the selected genre to be played from the beginning. As an example of the present invention, if it is determined that the bookmark does not exist, the bookmark service providing system may allow the media file, which was previously played in the corresponding genre, to be played again from the beginning.

If it is determined in step S130 that a bookmark corresponding to the selected genre exists in the bookmark store, in step S150, the bookmark service providing system plays the media file in the checked genre using the playback information of the searched bookmark.

For example, the bookmark may further include a file identifier of a final media file that is finally played among media files in the genre, and the bookmark service providing system may designate a final media file associated with the file identifier in the searched bookmark. After identifying from the media database, the identified final media file can be played back from the last playback point specified by the playback information and provided to the user.

The media database may be a list in which media files are stored, and the media database may include information such as a title or artist, a genre, and an identifier of each media file. In this case, the bookmark service providing system may designate an identifier of the last media file played last among media files in the same genre as a file identifier and include it in the bookmark.

In addition, the bookmark service providing system can easily search for and provide the user with the last playback point of the last media file identified by the file identifier through the playback information included in the bookmark, for example, 'play time'.

While the media file is being played back in step S140 or step S150, in step S160, the bookmark service providing system determines whether the playback of the media file occurs due to a set condition.

For example, the bookmark service providing system may determine whether playback interruption occurs due to various other preset conditions such as receiving a new genre to be played from the user, turning off the battery or power, or receiving a playback stop from the user.

In the case where the determination at step S160 causes the media file to stop playing due to the set condition, the bookmark service providing system at step S170 includes play information associated with the genre containing the media file played at step S140 or step S150. Create a bookmark.

For example, the bookmark service providing system may generate a bookmark including play information associated with a genre to which the currently playing media file belongs, when a user selects another genre to which the currently playing media file does not belong. The play information associated with the genre may include information about a last play point of the media file currently being played.

As described above, the bookmark may further include a file identifier of a final media file that is finally played among media files in the genre, and the bookmark service providing system may further include a final media file associated with the file identifier in the searched bookmark. After identifying from the predetermined media database, the identified final media file can be played back from the last playback point specified by the playback information and provided to the user.

In this case, when the media file within the identified genre is played using the playback information of the searched bookmark in step S150, the bookmark service providing system may update the playback information and include it in the bookmark. Therefore, the bookmark corresponding to each genre stored in the bookmark storage can include the file identifier of the media file that is always played in the last genre and the playback information for the last playback point.

In operation S180, the bookmark service providing system stores the updated bookmark in the bookmark store corresponding to the genre.

Accordingly, the bookmark service providing system retrieves a bookmark associated with the genre input as the genre to be played from the user from the bookmark store, and plays the final media file identified from the last playback point specified by the playback information included in the bookmark to the user. The generated bookmark may be stored in a bookmark store corresponding to the genre so as to be provided to the user.

In addition, the bookmark service providing system manages bookmarks in correspondence with each genre, so that the user can search for related bookmarks in any genre selected by the user, and by using the found bookmarks, the media files in the genre are played from the last playback point. You can create an environment to make this happen.

According to the present invention, even if the user alternately listens to the media file of the genre 'language' and the media file of the genre 'domestic song' through the terminal, the user can create a bookmark according to the genre 'language' and the genre 'domestic song'. In this way, it is possible to induce a user to continuously play the media file in a specific genre regardless of the genre change.
