Method, device, and computer program for providing image search information

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method, device and computer program for providing image search information. The method for an electronic device to provide image search information according to the present invention comprises: a step of generating a query by using an image if a predetermined query generation event occurs while playing the image; a step of transmitting the query to a server; and a step of receiving a search result corresponding to the query from the server and displaying same on a screen, wherein the search result is a search result of at least one object included in the image. A purpose of the invention is to provide a method, device and program for providing image search information, allowing the search of a product similar to a product exposed in an image, without an additional input of a search word.

1 . A method of providing video search information to a client by a server, the method comprising:
 generating a product database including image feature information of a predetermined product and a label corresponding to the image feature information of the product;   receiving a query generated using a video from the client;   analyzing the query;   when the query includes an object to be searched for, to which a label is attached, based on a result of the analysis of the query,   searching for product information corresponding to the label attached to the object to be searched for or image feature information of the object to be searched for in the product database; and   transmitting the search result to the client.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising,
 when the query includes at least one of a video frame, an image in one area included in the video frame, or a first object to which no label is attached, based on a result of the analysis of the query, extracting, as an object to be searched for, one area including image feature information pre-learned as a specific object from one of the image frame, the image, and the first object and attaching a label corresponding to the image feature information to the object to be searched for.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising receiving identification information of a user and a search log of the user from the client, wherein the transmitting of the search result comprises providing the user with product information corresponding to a label included in the search log through the identification information and the search log. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising, when the query includes image feature information learned as noise, based on a result of the analysis of the query, excluding the query from a target to be searched for. 
     
     
         5 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions executable by the processor to:
 generating a product database including image feature information of a predetermined product and a label corresponding to the image feature information of the product;   receiving a query generated using a video from the client;   analyzing the query;   when the query includes an object to be searched for, to which a label is attached, based on a result of the analysis of the query,   searching for product information corresponding to the label attached to the object to be searched for or image feature information of the object to be searched for in the product database; and   transmitting the search result to the client.
