System and method for delivering content based on moving route prediction

A method of delivering moving route prediction-based content, using at least one user terminal that receives and plays content created by a server, the method comprising:

• setting a future time point based on a total delay time of a network;
• predicting a user's final position including a user position and a user viewport at a future time point based on a user position and a user viewport at a current time point;
• and
• creating content at the user's final position,
• wherein the deriving of the user's final position includes
• when deriving the user's final position, based on an image in which the user's movement position at the future time point (Tk+1), the user movement viewport at the future time point (Tk+1), and an object in a region of interest of a user are contained,
• setting a range of a prediction window in an image at the future time point based on the previous window in an image at the previous time point in which an object of interest of a user is contained;
• predicting a user moving route based on a moving direction of the object of interest in the prediction window in the image at the future time point and the previous window in the image at the previous time point, user's movement position and movement viewport, and the importance of the object of interest;
• and
• deriving the user's final position at the future time point based on the user moving route.

A system for delivering moving route prediction-based content, the system including at least one user terminal that receives and plays content created by a server, the sever comprising:

• a future time point setting unit setting a future time point based on a total delay time of a network;
• a user's final position prediction unit predicting a user's final position at a future time point based on a user position and a user viewport at a current time point;
• and
• a content creation unit creating content at the user's final position predicted,
• wherein the content creation unit includes:
• a content creation module creating content at the user's final position;
• and
• a buffer storing image segments of the created content at the future time point and then sequentially delivering the stored content to the user terminal through the network,
• wherein the content creation unit further includes a verification module that is configured to
• divide the virtual space of the created content into blocks of a predetermined unit, and then compare a block at the user's final position with a block at the user's actual position;
• and
• determine that the verification of the user's final position is successful when the comparison results in a match, and then sequentially deliver the image segments stored in the buffer at the future time point.
