5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining the at least one comparison criterion comprises determining the at least one comparison criterion to include a sound feature and a text feature in response to determining that the keyword is associated with an auditory theme.
6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying the graphic object comprises displaying the graphic object in response to receiving a positive feedback input, the first playback time in the first video content being associated with a point at which the positive feedback input is received.
7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the first playback time in the first video content has a similarity to preference information, the similarity being equal to or greater than a first threshold; and
the preference information includes at least one of a preferred image feature, a preferred sound feature, or a preferred text feature.
8 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying a chatbot message on the display together with the playback screen of the first video content while playing the first video content, the chatbot message being associated with a second playback time in the first video content.
9 . The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:
generating the chatbot message using a chatbot model, the chatbot model being trained based on
a plurality of comments in a plurality of videos, and
at least one of a respective image feature, a respective sound feature, or a respective text feature associated with each of the plurality of comments.
10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the chatbot model is trained by applying a weight based on a respective number of positive feedback inputs associated with each of the plurality of comments.
11 . The method according to claim 9 , further comprising:
determining the chatbot message based on at least one of a first image feature, a first sound feature, or a first text feature of the second playback time in the first video content.
12 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein
the second playback time in the first video content is associated with a point at which an utterance is input into a chat window; and
the method further comprises determining the chatbot message based on at least one of
a first image feature, a first sound feature, or a first text feature of the second playback time in the first video content, and
the utterance.
13 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying a popular comment on the display together with the playback screen of the first video content while playing the first video content, the popular comment being associated with a third playback time in the first video content.
14 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein the popular comment is a comment that received a highest amount of positive feedback among a plurality of comments that include a timestamp of the third playback time.
15 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein the popular comment has a number of inputs indicating positive feedback equal to or greater than a second threshold.
16 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the method according to claim 1 .
17 . A user terminal, comprising:
a display;
communication unit; and
processing circuitry configured to
display a playback screen of first video content on the display, the first video content being played on the playback screen;
generate a graphic object configured to enable playback of similar content associated with a first playback time of the first video content; and
display the graphic object on the display together with the playback screen of the first video content, wherein
the processing circuitry is further configured to,
extract a keyword based on information associated with the first video content,
determine at least one comparison criterion based on the keyword, and
determine the similar content based on the at least one comparison criterion, and
the processing circuitry is further configured to determine the at least one comparison criterion to include an image feature and a text feature in response to determining that the keyword is associated with a visual theme.
