Abstract

A content summarization server, a content providing system and a method for summarizing a content are provided. The method for summarizing a content in a content summarization server includes receiving information regarding a content for which a content summary request is received from a display apparatus in response to a content summary request being input from a user, acquiring caption information related to a content for which the content summary request is input based on the received content information, extracting a summarized image of the content according to a rule which corresponds to the content by analyzing the caption information, and transmitting the summarized image of content to the display apparatus.

Claims

1. A method of summarizing a content in a content summarization server, the method comprising:

receiving information regarding a content for which a content summary request is received from a display apparatus in response to a content summary request being input from a user;

acquiring caption information related to a content for which the content summary request is input based on the received content information;

extracting a summarized image of the content according to a rule which corresponds to the content by analyzing the caption information; and

transmitting to the display apparatus the summarized image of content.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

determining a genre related to a content for which the content summary request is input,

wherein the rule which corresponds to the content is determined according to the genre of the content.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the content information includes channel information and title information,

wherein the determining comprises determining the genre of the content by comparing the content information and EPG information stored in the content summarization server, or determining the genre of the content by analyzing the acquired caption information.

4. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein in response to the genre of the content being a sport, the extracting comprises:

extracting a summary template related to a content according to rule which corresponds to the sport content using the caption information;

extracting information regarding the sport content which corresponds to the extracted summary template; and

generating a content summary image by mapping the extracted summary template and the extracted sport content.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the extracting a content summary template comprises:

acquiring genre and team information related to the sport content;

extracting a keyword which corresponds to the genre of the sport content; and

extracting an image which includes the keyword as a summary template using the caption information.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the genre and team information of the sport content is acquired using at least one of metadata and caption information received from the display apparatus.

7. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the extracting information regarding the sport content comprises extracting at least one of player information, team information and environment information which corresponds to the summary template from image information and caption information of the summary template.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the acquiring comprises acquiring caption information related to the content from an external caption server, acquiring caption information of the content by recognizing audio related to the content through an external voice recognition server, or acquiring caption information related to the content by analyzing an image of the content through optical character recognition (OCR).

9. A content summarization server, comprising:

a communicator configured to perform communication with an external apparatus; and

a controller configured to control the communicator to acquire caption information related to a content for which a content summary request is input based on received content information in response to information regarding a content for which a content summary request is input being received from a display apparatus, extract a summarized image of the content according to a rule which corresponds to the content by analyzing the caption information, and transmit the summarized image of content to a display apparatus.

10. The server as claimed in claim 9, wherein the controller is configured to determine a genre related to a content for which the content summary request is input,

wherein the rule which corresponds to the content is determined according to the genre of the content.

11. The server as claimed in claim 10, wherein the content information includes channel information and title information,

wherein the controller is configured to determine the genre of the content by comparing the content information with EPG information stored in the content summarization server, or determines the genre of the content by analyzing the acquired caption information.

12. The server as claimed in claim 10, wherein the controller is configured to extract a summary template related to a content according to rule corresponding to the sport content using the caption information in response to the genre of the content being a sport, information regarding a sport content which corresponds to the extracted summary template, and generate a content summary image by mapping the extracted summary template and the extracted sport content.

13. The server as claimed in claim 12, wherein the controller is configured to acquire genre and team information of the sport content, extract a keyword which corresponds to the genre of the sport content, and extract an image including the keyword as a summary template using the caption information.

14. The server as claimed in claim 13, wherein the genre and team information of the sport content is acquired using at least one of metadata and caption information received from the display apparatus.

15. The server as claimed in claim 13, wherein the controller is configured to extract at least one of player information, team information and environment information which corresponds to the summary template from image information and caption information of the summary template.

16. The server as claimed in claim 9, wherein the controller is configured to acquire caption information of the content from an external caption server, acquire caption information related to the content by recognizing audio of the content through an external voice recognition server, or acquires caption information related to the content by analyzing an image of the content through optical character recognition (OCR).

17. A method for summarizing a content of a content providing system, the method comprising:

transmitting information regarding a content for which the content summary request is input to a content summarization server by a display apparatus in response to a content summary request being input from a user;

acquiring caption information related to a content for which the content summary request is input based on the received content information by the content summarization server;

extracting a summarized image related to the content according to a rule which corresponds to the content by analyzing the caption information by the content summarization server;

transmitting the summarized image related to the content to the display apparatus by the content summarization server; and

displaying the summarized image of the content by the display apparatus.

18. A content summarization server, comprising:

a display configured to display the summarized image of the content; and

a controller configured to receive an input requesting content summary information, acquire caption information related to the content based on received content information, extract a summarized image of the content according to a rule which corresponds to the content by analyzing the caption information, transmit the summarized image of content to a display apparatus, and determine a genre related to a content for which the content summary request is input,

wherein the rule which corresponds to the content is determined according to the genre of the content.

19. The content summarization server of claim 18, further comprising a communicator configured to perform communication with an external apparatus, wherein the communicator is controlled by the controller.

20. The content summarization server of claim 18, wherein the content information includes channel information and title information, and

wherein the controller is configured to determine the genre of the content by comparing the content information with EPG information stored in the content summarization server, or determine the genre of the content by analyzing the acquired caption information.
