Augmented reality contents generation and play system and method using the same

An augmented reality contents generation and play system comprising:

• an image acquisition unit configured to include a preview mode in which an image which is input through a lens is displayed on a screen and a shooting mode in which, if an image to be shot is displayed in the preview mode, the image is captured by operating a shooting button and the captured image is converted into an image file;
• a storage unit configured to automatically store a video file and the image file which are obtained by the image acquisition unit;
• a mapping unit configured to map the image which is stored in the storage unit onto a video which is stored in the storage unit;
• an augmented reality processing unit configured to recognize an image corresponding to a marker from the image which is obtained by the image acquisition unit, configured to call the video mapped onto the image, and configured to overlay the video on a position of the marker on a screen in a preview mode;
• and
• a control unit configured to control a process of generating and playing contents by using an augmented reality contents,
• wherein the image acquisition unit automatically store an image (marker) when the shooting button is pressed or when the shooting button is released, if the video is stored when the shooting button is pressed and storage of the video ends when the shooting button is released, in the preview mode, and
• wherein the image is automatically obtained when the storage of a video starts or ends by using a method of starting the storage of a video starts when the shooting button is pressed and ending the storage of a video when the shooting button is pressed again, and the image is obtained by pressing the shooting button while the video is stored by using the method of starting the storage of a video starts when the shooting button is pressed and ending the storage of a video when the shooting button is pressed again.

An augmented reality contents generation and play method comprising:

• shooting a video in a preview mode of the image acquisition unit;
• obtaining at least one image and video data by operating a shooting button if an image to be captured is displayed in a preview mode, assigning a unique key value to the data, storing the data, also automatically storing a video in a predetermined time zone before and after a shooting point of time, and obtaining a high resolution image among the captured images;
• mapping the stored image onto the video by using the mapping unit and storing mapping information;
• printing the captured image;
• recognizing a photo corresponding to a marker by using the marker detection unit if augmented reality application is executed, and calling a video mapped onto the recognized photo by transmitting a signal to the mapping unit;
• and
• playing the video by overlaying the called video on a position of the marker of the image display unit.
