Apparatus for controlling media server using mobile application

A device for controlling a media server that allows a user touring a tourist spot (TS) to control the media server through a mobile application (MA) of a user terminal so that a lighting module, a sound module, and a display module provided in the TS operate, the device comprising:

• an augmented reality (AR) implementation part configured to implement, when a user accesses an MA through a user terminal, a TS as AR divided into a plurality of subareas (SAs) and transmit an avatar (AT) choice message (ACM) for selecting an AT to be generated in the AR to the user terminal;
• an AT generator configured to generate, when the user selects an AT on the basis of the ACM, the selected AT in the AR implemented by the MA;
• an AT controller configured to cause, when it is determined on the basis of location information received from a Global Positioning System (GPS) module of the user terminal that the user enters a specific SA of the TS, the generated AT to explain tour information of the specific SA;
• a media server operator configured to execute, when the user enters the specific SA of the TS, a program for welcoming a user to enter the specific SA through modules provided in the specific SA;
• a photo data collector configured to collect photo data captured through user terminals in the SA while users are present in the SA;
• an object classifier configured to recognize objects in the photo data other than a recognized person by analyzing the collected photo data, classify corresponding photo data by recognized object, and classify objects in decreasing order of the number of pieces of classified photo data;
• and
• a representative object selector configured to select objects of a set rank or above as representative objects of the SA from among the classified objects,
• wherein the user accesses the MA by inputting user information including his or her age, sex, and relationship with an accompanying user through the user terminal,
• wherein, when the user enters the specific SA of the TS, the AT controller causes the generated AT to introduce the representative objects of the specific SA and recommend taking photos including the objects.
