As the number of videos uploaded on live streaming platforms rapidly increases, the demand for providing highlight videos is increasing to promote viewer experiences. In this paper, we present novel methods for predicting highlights using chat logs and audio data in videos. The proposed models employ bi-directional LSTMs to understand the contextual flow of a video. We also propose to use the features over various time-intervals to understand the mid-to-long term flows. The proposed Our methods are demonstrated on e-Sports and baseball videos collected from personal broadcasting platforms such as Twitch and Kakao TV. The results show that the information from multiple time-intervals is useful in predicting video highlights.

Although e-sports broadcasting market based on VR(Virtual Reality) is growing in these days, technology development for securing market competitiveness is quite inadequate in Korea. Global companies such as SLIVER and Facebook already developed and are trying to commercialize 360 VR broadcasting technology which is able to broadcast e-sports in 4K 30FPS VR video. However, 2D video is too poor to use for 360 VR video in that it brings less immersive experience and dizziness and has low resolution in the scene. this paper, we not only proposed and implemented virtual camera technology which is able to capture in-game space as 360 video with 4K 3D by 60FPS for e-sports VR broadcasting but also verified feasibleness of obtaining stereo 360 video up to 4K/60FPS by conducting experiment after setting up virtual camera in sample games from game engine and commercial games.

The main purpose of this paper is to examine the efficacy and future potential of a newly-emerging concept of a metaverse in online education environment. In order to achieve this goal, this paper showcases various scenes that happened in the metaverse classes using the ifland app. Through an in-depth analysis of theoretical grounds and preliminary survey findings of 32 university students, this study suggests that as students in a metaverse space are engaged in the interactive learning process and environment with an avatar that projects oneself, it can be an effective educational platform coming from the benefits of gamification and edutainment. In addition, a metaverse space provides existential encounters and hands-on experiences, which in turn increases the level of 3D learning immersion. It may overcome the shortcomings of online live streaming platforms such as Zoom or Webex that provide 2D experiences. Based on the findings, this paper further suggests a blueprint for online education suitable for the transition to a digital society.

Distance learning universities provide online course content. The main methods of providing class contents are on-demand and live-streaming. This means that students are not restricted by time or space. The advantage is that students can take the course anytime and anywhere. Therefore, unlike commuting students, there is no commuting time to the campus, and there is no natural process required to take classes. However, despite this convenient situation, the attendance rate and graduation rate of distance learning universities tend to be lower than that of commuting universities. Although the course environment is not the only factor, students cannot obtain a bachelor's degree unless they fulfill the graduation requirements. In both commuter and distance learning universities, taking classes is an important factor in earning credits. There are fewer time and space constraints for distance learning students than for commuting students. It is also easy for distance learning students to take classes at their own timing. There should be more ease of learning than for students who commute to school with restrictions. However, it is easier to take a course at a commuter university that conducts face-to-face classes. I thought that the reason for this was that commuting to school was a part of the process of taking classes for commuting students. Commuting to school was thought to increase the willingness and motivation to take classes. Therefore, I thought that the inconvenient constraints might encourage students to take the course. In this research, I focused on the act of commuting to school by students. These situations are also applied to the distance learning environment. The students have physical time constraints. To achieve this goal, I will implement a course restriction method that aims to promote the willingness and attitude of students. Therefore, in this paper, I have implemented a virtual school system called "virtual go to school (VG2S)" that reflects the actual route to school.

최근 인터넷 사용자들의 요구는 멀티미디어로 집중되고 있으며 그중 라이브 미디어 스트리밍 서비스에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 라이브 서비스에서는 적절한 시간에 사용자에게 데이터가 도착하는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 라이브의 시간적절성을 충족시켜 줄 효율적이고 신속한 데이터 전달구조와 전송기법이 요구된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 트리와 메시 구조를 혼합한 하이브리드 방식으로 네트워크 자원을 효율적으로 사용하면서 빠른 데이터 전송으로 라이브의 시간적절성을 충족시킬 수 있는 데이터 분할 전송 방식의 P2P(Peer-to-Peer) 오버레이 구조를 제안한다. 제안하는 ToG(Tree of Groups)는 n개의 피어들이 메시로 그룹을 형성하고, 그렇게 형성된 그룹들이 트리를 이루는 구조이다. ToG에서 그룹 내의 각 피어들은 상위그룹의 피어 한 개와 부모-자식으로 연결되어 있어서 그룹 사이에 여러 개의 연결이 존재하게 된다. 따라서 그룹 내에서 어느 한 피어가 그룹을 빠져 나가더라도 상위그룹과의 여러 연결에 의해서 서비스 지속성을 보장 할 수 있다. ToG는 그룹단위로 트리가 형성되기 때문에 피어의 개수가 같을 때 피어단위로 트리를 형성하는 구조보다 트리의 깊이가 줄어든다. 그에 따라 말단에 있는 피어들에게까지 빠른 시간에 데이터가 전달 될 수 있다. ToG의 데이터 전달은 소스로부터 세그먼트가 일정한 값 n으로 나뉘어져 각 피어들에게 전달된다. 세그먼트 조각은 소스로부터 나뉘어져 전송 될 때 책임적으로 전달해야할 피어와 전달 순서가 정해져있고, 데이터 전송 스케줄링을 위한 버퍼 맵 교환은 필요하지 않다.

The importance of "personalization technology" has recently been highlighted due to the Covid-19 and the development of IT technology such as AI and big data, which is soon coming beyond personalization into the "super-personalization era." Therefore, in terms of the music streaming service market, it has formed a service supply trend in which individual tastes are respected and companies are seeking to establish a realistic analysis and development direction considering the external market environment. From this perspective, this paper sought to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the Genie Music's and provide a direction for development based on Genie Music's customer interactive strategy. In particular, it was intended to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of customer interactive strategies with the 'live music service platform' that moves with customers and to provide directions for future corporate development. As an analysis method, we looked at strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threat requirements based on SWOT analysis. Afterwards, the company attempted to present specific corporate development strategies through TOWS analysis.

This study aims to elucidate the characteristics of big tech platform companies' sports content business in an environment of rapid digital transformation. Specifically, this study examines the market structure of big tech platform companies with a focus on Amazon, revealing the role of sports content within this structure through an analysis of Amazon's sports marketing business and provides an outlook on the sports content business of big tech platform companies. Based on two-sided market platform business models, big tech platform companies incorporate sports content as a strategy to enhance the value of their platforms. Therefore, sports content is used as a tool to enhance the value of their platforms and to consolidate their monopoly position by maximizing profits by increasing the synergy of platform ecosystems such as infrastructure. Amazon acquires popular live sports broadcasting rights on a continental or national basis and supplies them to its platforms, which not only increases the number of new customers and purchasing effects, but also provides IT solution services to sports organizations and teams while planning and supplying various promotional contents, thus creates synergy across Amazon's platforms including its advertising business. Amazon also expands its business opportunities and increases its overall value by supplying live sports contents to Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Prime, providing technical services to various stakeholders through Amazon Web Services, and offering Amazon Marketing Cloud services for analyzing and predicting advertisers' advertising and marketing performance. This gives rise to a new paradigm in the sports marketing business in the digital era, stemming from the difference in market structure between big tech companies based on two-sided market platforms and legacy global companies based on one-sided markets. The core of this new model is a business through the development of various contents based on live sports streaming rights, and sports content marketing will become a major field of sports marketing along with traditional broadcasting rights and sponsorship. Big tech platform global companies such as Amazon, Apple, and Google have the potential to become new global sports marketing companies, and the current sports marketing and advertising companies, as well as teams and leagues, are facing both crises and opportunities.

The purpose of this study is to establish the most severe impacts of Covid-19 in the field of the performing arts and to explore countermeasures taken both at home and abroad. This study has been conducted through literature surveys. The conclusion is as follows. First, since the outbreak of Covid-19, theater venues around the world have actively taken part in uploading recorded performances to streaming services. Secondly, these performance visualizings are generally considered as being complimentary goods rather than a substitute for live performance. Thirdly, although more audiences are tuning into watch on-line performances, consumption is concentrated on a few theaters which have a worldwide reputation and a broad range of content. Fourthly, to tackle the impact that Covid-19, the UK government announced a series of job protection schemes in the field of the Arts. In addition, Arts Council England prepared an emergency response package. In Korea, some countermeasures such as government support for artists and cultural establishments have also been implemented. Lastly, some suggestions for the sector. I conclude that there is an need for domestic companies to secure core contents of significant quality and to make strategic alliances with leading overseas performance companies so that they may cooperate together.
