This U.S. non-provisional application and claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0134377, filed Oct. 16, 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
One or more example embodiments relate to electronic devices for removing an advertisement thumbnail from a display screen for providing a list of sports being broadcast live and/or operating methods of the electronic device.
In general, at least one sport is broadcast live and a user views a game video for a desired sport through an electronic device. Here, there is a service that provides a list of live sports on a display screen of the electronic device, such that the user may select a desired sport. An image thumbnail for a game video of each sport is displayed as an in-list item on the display screen. Here, for each sport, an image thumbnail is acquired as a corresponding game video is captured at a desired (or alternatively, preset) time interval and is changed at a desired (or alternatively, preset) time interval on the display screen accordingly. Here, an advertising video is inserted in the game video. Therefore, the image thumbnail includes a game thumbnail acquired from the real game video and an advertisement thumbnail acquired from the advertising video. Therefore, the advertisement thumbnail as well as the game thumbnail are displayed on the display screen. However, the user for the display screen may not verify information about the game video from the above advertisement thumbnail. That is, the advertisement thumbnail displayed on the display screen may be insignificant to the user.
Some example embodiments provide electronic devices for removing an advertisement thumbnail from a display screen for providing a list of sports being broadcast live, that is, live sports and/or operating methods of the electronic device.
According to an aspect of at least one example embodiment, an operating method of an electronic device may include retrieving an image thumbnail extracted from a game video being broadcast live, in response to the image thumbnail being a game thumbnail, displaying the game thumbnail on a display screen, and in response to the image thumbnail being an advertisement thumbnail, removing the advertisement thumbnail on the display screen.
According to an aspect of at least one example embodiment, a non-transitory computer-readable record medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause an electronic device to perform the aforementioned method.
According to an aspect of at least one example embodiment, an electronic device may include a memory and a processor configured to connect to the memory and to execute at least one instruction stored in the memory. The processor may be configured to retrieve an image thumbnail extracted from a game video being broadcast live, display the game thumbnail on a display screen in response to the image thumbnail being a game thumbnail, and remove the advertisement thumbnail on the display screen in response to the image thumbnail being an advertisement thumbnail.
According to some example embodiments, an electronic device may display only a game thumbnail without displaying an advertisement thumbnail on a display screen for providing a list of sports being broadcast live. Therefore, a user for the display screen may quickly verify information about a live sport through the game thumbnail and may not view an insignificant advertisement thumbnail. Here, the electronic device may more accurately and efficiently classify the image thumbnail into the game thumbnail or the advertisement thumbnail using a pre-trained deep learning model.

The processor 260 may classify each image thumbnail (110, 120) extracted from the live game video into the game thumbnail 110 or the advertisement thumbnail 120. Here, the processor 260 may classify each image thumbnail (110, 120) into the game thumbnail 110 or the advertisement thumbnail 120 through a binary classification scheme using a pre-trained deep learning model. Here, the pre-trained deep learning model may be present for each event. For example, the pre-trained deep learning model may be present for each of soccer, baseball, golf, etc. That is, the pre-trained deep learning model may be trained using a game video corresponding to a desired live event (e.g., sport) as training data. The pre-trained deep learning model may include a preprocessing model and a classification model. The processor 260 may display only the game thumbnail 110 as an in-list item on the display screen 100, without displaying the advertisement thumbnail 120.
According to an example embodiment, as illustrated in
The updater module 361 may retrieve one of the plurality of image thumbnails (110, 120) at a desired (or alternatively, preset) time interval. For example, the desired (or alternatively, preset) time interval may be about 1 minute. According to an example embodiment, the plurality of image thumbnails (110, 120) being extracted over time from the live game video may be stored in the memory 250. Here, the image thumbnails (110, 120) may be extracted from the game video by the processor 260, or may be extracted from the game video by the external devices 202 and 204 and received from the external devices 202 and 204. In this case, the updater module 361 may retrieve one of the image thumbnails (110, 120) from the memory 250. According to another example embodiment, the plurality of image thumbnails (110, 120) being extracted over time from the live game video may be stored in the external devices 202 and 204. In this case, the updater module 361 may retrieve one of the image thumbnails (110, 120) from the external devices 202 and 204. For example, each of the external devices 202 and 204 may be a server such as a contents delivery network (CDN) server.
The updater module 361 may determine whether the retrieved image thumbnail (110, 120) is the game thumbnail 110 or the advertisement thumbnail 120 using the pre-trained deep learning model. For example, the updater module 361 may be referred to as a common central cluster deep learning (C3DL) updater. Here, the preprocessing model may extract at least one feature point from the retrieved image thumbnail (110, 120). For example, the preprocessing model may be implemented in a structure of a convolution neural network (CNN). Also, the classification model may analyze the feature point and may determine whether the retrieved image thumbnail (110, 120) is the game thumbnail 110 or the advertisement thumbnail 120. For example, the classification model may be implemented in a structure of logistic regression (LR) or a deep neural network (DNN). Here, when the retrieved image thumbnail (110, 120) is the game thumbnail 110, the updater module 361 may upload the game thumbnail 110 to the uploader module 363. Further, when the retrieved image thumbnail (110, 120) is the advertisement thumbnail 120, the updater module 361 may remove the advertisement thumbnail 120 without uploading the advertisement thumbnail 120 to the uploader module 363. Thus, less computing resources may be desired for the uploading operation, and thus less power may be consumed for the uploading operation.
The uploader module 363 may upload the game thumbnail 110 for the display screen 100. That is, the uploader module 363 may upload the game thumbnail 110 such that the game thumbnail 110 may be displayed on the display screen 100. According to an example embodiment, the electronic device 200 may be a server that directly provides the display screen 100. In this case, the uploader module 363 may upload the game thumbnail 110 to directly process the game thumbnail 110. According to another example embodiment, the external device 202, 204 may be a server that provides the display screen 100. In this case, the uploader module 363 may upload the game thumbnail 110 to the external device 202, 204.
According to some example embodiments, the processor 260 may implement the pre-trained deep learning model by training the deep learning model. Here, the pre-trained deep learning model may include the preprocessing model and the classification model.
The processor 260 may acquire the plurality of image thumbnails (110, 120) extracted from the game video. The processor 260 may classify the image thumbnails (110, 120) into the game thumbnails 110 and the advertisement thumbnails 120. To this end, two classes may be defined in association with the game video. The processor 260 may allocate the game thumbnails 110 and the advertisement thumbnails 120 to the respective classes. Further, the processor 260 may assign different annotations to the respective classes. That is, the processor 260 may assign different annotations to the game thumbnails 110 and the advertisement thumbnails 120.
According to an example embodiment, referring to
The processor 260 may train the deep learning model based on the game thumbnails 110 and the advertisement thumbnails 120. Here, the processor 260 may train the deep learning model based on a portion of the game thumbnails 110 and a portion of the advertisement thumbnails 120. For example, the processor 260 may train the deep learning model based on 80% of the game thumbnails 110 and 80% of the advertisement thumbnails 120. Here, the preprocessing model and the classification model may be individually trained. The preprocessing model may extract at least one feature point from each of some game thumbnails 110 and may extract at least one feature point from each of some advertisement thumbnails 120. The classification model may analyze feature points and may implement a learning algorithm for classifying some game thumbnails 110 and some advertisement thumbnails 120.
Also, the processor 260 may run a test on the trained deep learning model. Here, the processor 260 may run the test on the trained deep learning model based on the remaining game thumbnails 110 and the remaining advertisement thumbnails 120. For example, the processor 260 may run the test on the trained deep learning model based on 20% of the game thumbnails 110 and 20% of the advertisement thumbnails 120. Here, the test may be run on each of the preprocessing model and the classification model. The preprocessing model may extract at least one feature point from each of the remaining game thumbnails 110 and may extract at least one feature point from each of the remaining advertisement thumbnails 120. The classification model may analyze feature points and may classify the remaining game thumbnails 110 and the remaining advertisement thumbnails 120. Through this, the processor 260 may verify an operation accuracy of the trained deep learning model. Therefore, whether to use the trained deep learning model may be determined based on the operation accuracy.
For example, to select an optimal trained deep learning model, a plurality of candidate deep learning models may be trained. Referring to the following Table 1, four candidate preprocessing models and two candidate classification models of Keras platform may be trained. An operation accuracy for each of combinations of the candidate preprocessing models and the candidate classification models may be verified. According to the following Table 1, a combination of candidate preprocessing model 1 and candidate classification model 1 has a highest operation accuracy of 99.60%, which may represent that the electronic device 200 may have an optimal performance when using the trained deep learning model of the corresponding combination. Through this, the optimal trained deep learning model may be selected and used.
According to some example embodiments, the processor 260 may receive the pre-trained deep learning model from the external device 202, 204 without directly training the deep learning model. Here, the pre-trained deep learning model may be implemented by operating the external device 202, 204 on behalf of the processor 260. Through this, the processor 260 may receive and use the optimal trained deep learning model from the external device 202, 204.
