Description

APPARATUS FOR PLAYING CONTENTS [0002]

The present invention relates to a content reproducing apparatus, and more particularly, to a content reproducing apparatus capable of reproducing video and audio corresponding to contents stored in a disk plate.

Nowadays, as you begin to use digital music, anyone can access music easily and quickly, and the number of music that ordinary music users can access is increasing exponentially.

The digital commercialization of music has greatly increased the amount of music available to people, but the lack of information about the music of the general public still makes it difficult to choose music. It is not easy to search for music without information about music, and the unilateral recommendation of music through a small number of professionals is not enough to satisfy many people. Therefore, a music recommendation system which can search for desired music or recommend the unknown music has been researched recently and it has made it easier for the general people to access various music through their own choice.

However, technologies for reproducing digital sound sources and image contents using MP3, PMP, and smartphone are increasing, but technologies for reproducing contents in an analog manner in cooperation with an offline user have not been developed.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a content reproducing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a content reproducing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a content reproducing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a conceptual diagram.

1 to 3, a content reproduction apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is an apparatus for receiving content information stored in a transparent disc plate 10 and outputting corresponding video or audio, A display unit 110, a control unit 120, a voice output unit 130, a wireless reader 140, and a communication unit 150.

First, the transparent disc plate 10 is made of a transparent material and may be in a disc shape. A polarizing film may be attached to the upper surface of the transparent disc plate 10 over the entire surface. The polarizing film attached to the transparent disk plate 10 may be the same kind of polarizing film as the polarizing film attached to the display 110 of the content reproducing apparatus 1, for example, an iodine polarizing film.

The transparent disc plate 10 may include a radio tag 11, and the radio tag 11 may store content information. The wireless tag 11 may be a rewritable recording medium, and may be constituted by, for example, an RFID tag. The content information may include information on at least one of video and audio contents for reproduction in the content reproduction apparatus 1. [ In the content information, video and audio contents can be directly stored or meta information about video and audio contents can be stored. The image content may be, for example, a music video or a performance video image of the content, and the audio content may be, for example, music. The meta information may include, for example, information about a title, an author, a production year, and a release date of video and audio contents to be reproduced.

 The body 100 of the content reproducing apparatus can be manufactured in a table form. The body 100 may be made of plastic, wood, or the like, and an electronic circuit constituting the control unit 120, the communication unit 150, or the like may be provided therein. A display 110 is mounted on the upper part of the body 100 and a cover 160 for protecting the display device can be hinged to the upper edge.

The display 110 is provided on the upper surface of the body 100 and uses the backlight unit to electrically adjust the direction of the liquid crystal to change the brightness of the pixel, thereby displaying a desired image. Display 110 may be, for example, an LCD, a TFT-LCD, or an LED display.

A region A for mounting the transparent disc plate 10 may be provided on the front surface of the display 110 and a polarizing film may be partially formed on the region A for mounting the transparent disc plate 10 . However, in contrast to this, except for the area A where the polarizing film is removed over the entire surface of the display 110 or the transparent disc plate 10 is seated and the area where the GUI (Graphic User Interface) 170 to be described later is provided And the polarizing film of the remaining region is removed.

On the front surface of the display 110, a GUI 170 for controlling the operating environment may be provided to the user. The GUI 170 may be provided in a touch manner, for example, and a touch panel may be additionally built in the display 110 for this purpose.

The GUI 170 may provide various operating environments for controlling the contents to be played through the display 110 and the audio output unit 130. For example, a GUI type full-length needle may be provided. The user can control the video and audio corresponding to the content information to be reproduced by clicking on the full-axis pointer displayed on the display 110 and transferring the pointer to the transparent disk plate 10. [ Gui 170 may provide an interface through a variety of other methods.

The control unit 120 can output the image corresponding to the content information stored in the transparent disc plate 10 through the display 110 when the transparent disc plate 10 is placed on the display 110. [

The control unit 120 recognizes the wireless tag 11 and receives the read content information if the transparent disc plate 10 is placed in the area A provided on the display 110. [ Then, the control unit 120 accesses the external server 20 through the communication unit 150 and receives at least one of video and audio corresponding to the content information. The control unit 120 can search for video and audio corresponding to content information using an internal database (not shown) before connecting to the external server 20. [

When the controller 120 receives the video and audio corresponding to the content information, the controller 120 reproduces the video and audio through the display 110 and the speaker 130.

4 and 5 are views for explaining the operation of the content reproduction apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

4 and 5, when the transparent disc plate 10 is mounted on the display 110, the wireless reader 140 recognizes the wireless tag 11 of the transparent disc plate 10 and receives content information. The control unit 120 accesses the internal database or the external server 20 and receives the video and audio corresponding to the received content information. The control unit 120 reproduces the received video and audio through the display 110 and the speaker 130. At this time, the image is displayed on the outside through the transparent disc plate 10 in the display area A where the polarizing film is removed. That is, even if an image is reproduced in a region where the polarizing film is removed, it is not normally displayed in a normal environment, and it is seen as a white screen when viewed from a human's viewpoint. However, if the transparent disk plate 10 having the polarizing film attached is placed in the region where the polarizing film is removed, the image can be displayed normally through the polarizing film attached to the transparent disk plate 10.

As used in this embodiment, the term " portion " refers to a hardware component such as software or an FPGA (field-programmable gate array) or ASIC, and 'part' performs certain roles. However, 'part' is not meant to be limited to software or hardware. &Quot; to " may be configured to reside on an addressable storage medium and may be configured to play one or more processors. Thus, by way of example, 'parts' may refer to components such as software components, object-oriented software components, class components and task components, and processes, functions, , Subroutines, segments of program code, drivers, firmware, microcode, circuitry, data, databases, data structures, tables, arrays, and variables. The functions provided in the components and components may be further combined with a smaller number of components and components or further components and components. In addition, the components and components may be implemented to play back one or more CPUs in a device or a secure multimedia card.
