Abstract:
1. A moving image collection/delivery server system, comprising: a network terminal; a database system; an image recognition system; and a moving image collection/delivery server, wherein as a user uploads various moving images to a server side via a network through the network terminal including a device of capturing, displaying, and operating a moving image, the database system at the server temporarily accumulates a moving image group, the image recognition system at the server side continuously extracts and recognizes a specific object, a general object, or a scene in the moving image group in response to uploading of each moving image, a moving image channel group which is capable of being autonomously classified, generated, and organized according to a recognition result of the image recognition system is converted into a reduced moving image thumbnail group that allows displaying each moving image group as a list according to a main object or scene included in the recognized moving image without depending on metadata or an annotation attached to a moving image, the moving image collection/delivery server at the server side automatically allocates the moving image thumbnail group to a moving image channel considered to be optimum or a plurality of moving image channel groups related to each other according to a recognition result of the image recognition system so as to allow delivering the moving image thumbnail group to network terminals of a number of users via a network as a moving image channel group freely selectable by a user, an update display is performed in latest upload order in each moving image channel according to a maximum displayable moving image thumbnail number specific to the user's network terminal, when metadata or an annotation representing content of a corresponding moving image is attached to a previously uploaded moving image without depending on help of the image recognition system, the metadata or the annotation is capable of being combined or merged with a moving image channel group generated or organized by the moving image channel group generated or organized from a recognition result of the image recognition system, and consistency of the metadata or the annotation is capable of being investigated by the image recognition system, and when moving image thumbnails larger than the maximum displayable number are allocated to a specific moving image channel, swapping out a moving image thumbnail which is oldest in a shooting time and swapping in a moving image thumbnail which is latest in a shorting time while maintaining a display position of a list display.
