Here, the user terminal device 200 may include at least one of: a terminal device of a client who requests a project, a terminal device of a worker who performs a task for the project requested by the client, and a terminal device of a reviewer who reviews and evaluates a subtitle content task-completed by the worker.
The communication unit 110 may perform data communication with a user terminal device 200 of a client to receive project information on a content image requested by the client, and may perform data communication with a user terminal device 200 of a worker to provide a subtitle content creating tool for creating a subtitle content of a project selected by the worker.
The storage unit 120 may store project information on the content image requested by the client from the client's user terminal device 100. A detailed description of the storage unit 120 will be described in detail below.
The controller 130 may control the communication unit 110 and the storage unit 120 described above. The controller 130 may include a project creating unit 131, a worker search unit 132, and a task executing unit 133.
When a subtitle request command including project information on a content image requested by the client is received from the user terminal device 200 of the client, the project creating unit 131 determines as to validity of the corresponding content image based on address information included in the project information. As a result of the determination, if the validity of the content image is verified, the project creating unit 131 may store the received project information in the storage unit 120, and if the validity of the corresponding content image is not verified, the project creating unit 131 may transmit an error message to the user terminal device 200 of the client through the communication unit 110.
Meanwhile, if the received project information includes a video file for the content image requested by the client, the project creating unit 131 does not determine as to the validity of the received project information but may store the corresponding project information in the storage unit 120.
Meanwhile, the storage unit 120 may further store profile information of a pre-registered worker, and when a worker search command is received from the user terminal device 200 of the client, the worker search unit 131 may acquire profile information related to subtitling request information included in the received project information among profile information pre-registered in the storage unit 120 and may transmit the acquired profile information to the user terminal device 200 of the client. Thereafter, when translation request information is received from the user terminal device 200 of the client who has received the profile information, the worker search unit 131 may transmit a translation request message to the user terminal device 200 of the worker corresponding to the profile information.
Thereafter, the worker search unit 131 may determine whether a response message is received within a preset threshold time from the user terminal device 200 of the worker to whom the translation request message is transmitted, and may transmit a resulting message to the user terminal device 200 of the client who has requested the translation from the worker.
For example, when a response message related to acceptance of the task is received from the user terminal device 200 of the worker to whom the translation request message is transmitted, the worker search unit 131 may transmit a task acceptance message to the user terminal device 200 of the client who has requested the task from the worker. On the other hand, when a response message is not received within a preset threshold time from the user terminal device 200 of the worker to whom the translation request message is transmitted or when a response message related to non-acceptance of the task is received, the worker search unit 131 may transmit a failure message to the user terminal device 200 of the client who has requested the task from the worker.
When a project search command is received from the user terminal device 200 of the worker, the task executing unit 133 may transmit project list information including an item corresponding to at least one content image generated based on the project information stored in the storage unit 120 to the user terminal 200 of the worker.
According to an embodiment, when a project search command is received from the user terminal device 200 of the worker, the task executing unit 133 may generate project list information based on project information in a standby state among a plurality of pre-stored project information and transmit the generated project list information to the user terminal device 200 of the worker. Here, the project information in the standby state may be project information unselected by at least one pre-registered worker.
According to another embodiment, when a project search command is received from the user terminal device 200 of the worker, the task executing unit 133 may acquire the project information in the standby state related to the worker based on the subtitling request information included in the project information in the standby state, and may generate project list information based on the acquired project information to the user terminal device 200 of the worker.
For example, the project information in the standby state may include subtitling request information related to task cost. In this case, the task executing unit 133 may acquire project information including a task cost related to a work cost included in the worker's profile information, and generate project list information based on the acquired project information.
As another example, the project information in the standby state may include subtitling request information related to translation. In this case, the task executing unit 133 may acquire project information for requesting a translation language related to a specialized translation language included in the worker's profile information, and generate project list information based on the acquired project information.
According to another embodiment, when a project search command is received from the user terminal device 200 of the worker, the task executing unit 133 may, based on the subtitling request information included in the project information in the standby state, acquire the project information in the standby state related to the worker, and may generate project list information to the user terminal device 200 of the worker based on the acquired project information.
For example, the worker may be specialized in English translation in the medical field. In this case, the task executing unit 133 may, based on at least one of description information and subtitling request information included in the project information in the standby state, acquire project information for which English translation related to the medical field is requested, and may generate project list information based on the acquired project information and transmit the generated project list information to the user terminal device 200 of the worker.
Thereafter, when a command to select a first item among a plurality of items included in the project list is received from the user terminal device 200 of the worker, the task executing unit 133 may, based on project information of a first content image corresponding to the selected first item, transmit Web information on a subtitle content creating tool for creating a subtitle content of the first content image to the user terminal device 300 of the worker.
Accordingly, the user terminal device 200 of the worker may display the subtitle service window including the subtitle content creating tool based on the Web information received from the subtitle service server 100, and the worker may create a subtitle content requested by the client in relation to the first content image through the displayed subtitle service window.
According to a further aspect of the present disclosure, when a task-completed subtitle content is received from the user terminal device 200 of the worker, the task executing unit 131 may store the received subtitle content in the storage unit 120 and transmit, through the communication unit 110, a project completion message to the user terminal device 200 of the client who has requested the subtitle content.
According to a further aspect of the present disclosure, when a task-completed subtitle content is received from the user terminal device 200 of the worker, the task executing unit 131 may temporarily store the received subtitle content in a first area of the storage unit 120 and store, in the second area, a verified subtitle content among subtitle contents temporarily stored in the first area. Accordingly, when the subtitle content is stored in the second area, the task executing unit 131 may transmit a project completion message to the user terminal device 200 of the client who has requested the subtitle content.
Hereinafter, the storage unit 120 will be described in more detail.

Thereafter, when translation request information is received from the user terminal device 200 of the client who has received the profile information, the subtitle service server 100 may transmit a translation request message to the user terminal device 200 of the worker corresponding to the profile information.
Thereafter, in response to the request from the worker, the subtitle service server 100 may transmits a subtitle content creating tool for creating a subtitle content for the content image requested by the client to the user terminal device of the worker in operation S1020. Thereafter, the subtitle service server 100 may transmit the project information on the content image to the user terminal device 200 of the worker in operation S1030.
Specifically, when a project search command is received from the user terminal device 200 of the worker, the subtitle service server 100 may transmit, to the user terminal device 200 of the worker, project list information including an item corresponding to at least one content image that is generated based on pre-stored project information. Thereafter, when a command to select a first item is received from the user terminal device of the worker, the subtitle service server 100 may, transmit Web information for a subtitle content creating tool for creating a subtitle content of the first content image to the user terminal device 200 of the worker based on project information of the first content item corresponding to the selected first item. Accordingly, the worker may create the subtitle content for the first content image through the subtitle service window including the subtitle content creating tool displayed on the user terminal device 200 of the worker. When a task for the subtitle content for the first content image is completed, the user terminal device 200 of the worker may transmit a task-completed subtitle content to the subtitle service server 100.
When the subtitle content for the task-completed content image is received from the user terminal device 200 of the worker, the subtitle service server 100 may evaluate task performance of the worker based on the received subtitle content in operations S1040 and S1050.
Thereafter, the subtitle service server 100 may store the subtitle content received from the user terminal device 200 of the worker based on the evaluation information which is evaluated based on the received subtitle content in operation S1060.
Specifically, when the subtitle service server 100 receives the subtitle content for the task-completed content image from the worker's user terminal device 200, the subtitle service server 100 may store the received subtitle content in the temporary storage unit. Meanwhile, when an review command is received from a user terminal device 200 of a reviewer, the subtitle service server 100 may provide a list of subtitle contents stored in the temporary storage unit to the user terminal device 200 of the reviewer. Accordingly, the user terminal device 200 of the reviewer may display the list received from the subtitle service server 100.
Meanwhile, when a command to select a first subtitle content from among subtitle contents included in the list is received from the user terminal device 200 of the reviewer, the subtitle service server 100 may transmit Web information of the review tool for the first subtitle content to the user terminal device 200 of the reviewer. Accordingly, the reviewer may perform review on the first subtitle content through the user terminal device 200 of the reviewer, and the user terminal device 200 of the reviewer may transmit a review completion message regarding the first subtitle content reviewed by the reviewer to the subtitle service server 100.
When the review completion message regarding the first subtitle content is received from the user terminal device of the reviewer, the subtitle service server 100 may delete the first subtitle content stored in the temporary storage unit may store the first subtitle content reviewed by the reviewer in the final storage unit.
In this case, the subtitle service server 100 may evaluate task performance of the worker who has performed the task on the subtitle content, in consideration of a task execution period for the task-completed subtitle content, information on corrections made by the reviewer, and the like. Thereafter, the subtitle service server 100 may update a task rating information of the worker based on a result of the evaluation of the corresponding worker. In addition, the subtitle service server 100 may update task rating information of the worker, who has performed a task on the subtitle content, based on evaluation information by a user who has used the subtitle content.
Meanwhile, when the reviewed subtitle content is stored in the final storage unit, the subtitle service server 100 may transmit a project completion message to the user terminal device 200 of the client who has requested the subtitle content. Accordingly, the client may confirm that the task for the project requested by the client is completed, through a project completion message displayed on the user terminal device 200 of the client.
Meanwhile, when a registration request command is received from a user terminal device 200 of an unregistered worker, the subtitle service server 100 may generate task rating information on the unregistered worker by evaluating text performance of the unregistered worker. Thereafter, the subtitle service server 100 may generate and store profile information, which includes task rating information and at least one of personal information, history information, cost information, and evaluation information provided from the unregistered worker.
Therefore, the client may request a specific worker to perform a task on the project by referring to profile information on pre-registered workers, or may allow the project to be opened to a worker who meets conditions set by the client.
Meanwhile, the method for controlling the user terminal device and the server according to various embodiments in various embodiments may be coded in software and stored in non-transitory readable media. Such non-transitory readable media can be installed and used in a variety of devices.
