Method and system for sharing information between users in media reproducing system

A method of sharing information between users while reproducing media in a media reproducing device, the method comprising:

• reproducing the media in the media reproducing device;
• displaying a question mark on an object in a frame of the reproduced media when a question related to a capture of the media is registered in an information sharing server connected to the media reproducing device, wherein a captured part of the media corresponds to the object in the frame of the reproduced media;
• displaying the question on the media reproducing device when the question mark is selected;
• replacing the question mark with an exclamation point informing the users about a response to the question when the response has been registered;
• displaying the exclamation point on the object in the frame of the reproduced media;
• and
• displaying a pop-up indicating the information which is related to the question when the capture of the media is selected;
• wherein the information about the question is filtered, by the information sharing server, according to an object ID included in the question, the object ID corresponding to the object in the frame.

A media reproducing device having a bidirectional data channel comprising a service channel to receive media from a media server and a return channel to transmit information to the media server, the media reproducing device comprising:

• a media reproducer to reproduce the media received from the media server on a display;
• a user manipulator to receive a command related to the media from a user;
• a media capturer to capture a part of the media according to a media capture command from the user manipulator, the captured part of the media corresponding to an object in a frame of the reproduced media;
• a question generator to extract an attribute of the captured part of the media and generate a question related to the captured part of the media;
• an information registerer to register the question in an information sharing server via the return channel, and
• a message displayer to display, on the display, a question mark, informing the users about the question, on the captured part of the media
• wherein the media reproducer to replace the question mark with an exclamation point informing the users about a response to the question when the response is received from the information sharing server
• wherein the message displayer to display the exclamation point on the captured part of the media and to display a pop-up indicating an information about the question when the captured part of the media is selected, and
• wherein the information about the question is filtered, by the information sharing server, according to an object ID included in the question, the object ID corresponding to the object in the frame which is included in the captured part of the media.

A media reproducing device having a bidirectional data channel comprising a service channel to receive media from a media server and a return channel to transmit information to the media server, the media reproducing device comprising:

• a media reproducer to reproduce the media received from the media server;
• a display to display the reproduced media;
• an information inputter to display, on the display, a question, including an extracted attribute of a part of the media captured by a user and the captured part of the media, registered in an information sharing server, the captured part of the media corresponding to an object in a frame of the reproduced media;
• a user manipulator to receive information related to the question from the user;
• an information registerer to register the information on the information sharing server via the return channel;
• and
• a message displayer to display a question mark on the object in a frame of the reproduced media when related to a capture of the media is registered in an information sharing server connected to the media reproducing device, the captured part of the media corresponds to the object in a frame of the reproduced media, and to display the question on the media reproducing device when the question mark is selected;
• wherein the media reproducer replaces the question mark with an exclamation point informing the users about a response to the question when the response has been registered,
• wherein the message displayer displays the exclamation point on the object in the frame of the reproduced media and displays a pop-up indicating the information related to the question when the capture of the media is selected, and
• wherein the information about the question from the user is filtered, by the information sharing server, according to an object ID included in the question, the object ID corresponding to the object in the frame which is included in the captured part of the media.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program to execute a method of sharing information between users while reproducing media in a media reproducing device, the method comprising:

• reproducing the media in the media reproducing device;
• receiving a captured part of the media in the media reproducing device, wherein the captured part of the media corresponds to an object in a frame of the reproduced media;
• extracting an attribute of the captured part of the media;
• transmitting the attribute and a question related to the captured part of the media to an information sharing server;
• and
• displaying a question mark, informing the users about the question, on the captured part of the media;
• replacing the question mark with an exclamation point informing the users about a response to the question when the response is received from the information sharing server;
• displaying the exclamation point on the captured part of the media;
• and
• displaying a pop-up indicating information about the question when the captured part of the media is selected,
• wherein the information about the question is filtered, by the information sharing server, according to an object ID included in the question, the object ID corresponding to the object in the frame which is included in the captured part of the media.
