The modeling server 110 acquires an image of an object from the connected user terminal 110, selects and arranges an appropriate image according to the type or resolution of the user terminal 10 among the acquired images, The image of the object is three-dimensionally modeled according to the event. At this time, the modeling server 110 selects and arranges images corresponding to the size set by the user among the images of objects set to at least one type size from the user, and when an event is input by the user, The image of the object is three-dimensionally modeled according to the type.

2, the modeling server 110 includes a communication unit 210, an image acquisition unit 220, a model determination unit 230, an information setting unit 240, an event determination unit 220, A 3D object modeling unit 260, a memory unit 270,

The communication unit 210 is a device for transmitting and receiving data with the user terminal 110. The communication unit 210 is connected to the user terminal 110 through a wired / wireless communication network and includes basic user information for connection to the modeling server 110, Size information of an image, control command information, and the like. The communication unit 210 connects a predetermined communication channel with the user terminal 110 based on a protocol stack (for example, TCP / IP protocol or CDMA protocol) defined in the communication network, Information for the 3D object image modeling is transmitted and received by using a communication protocol defined in the communication program (for example, Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) / Mobile Explorer) .

Hereinafter, the 3D object modeling method will be described in more detail using the system configured as described above.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a three-dimensional object modeling method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the 3D object modeling method according to an embodiment of the present invention is roughly classified into a 3D modeling method corresponding to a model of the user terminal 10 among images of objects set to at least one type size through the user terminal 10 (S10) for selecting and arranging an image of an object to be displayed, and a second step (S20) for modeling an image of the object according to the type of event when an event is input by the user.

More specifically, in the first step S10, the image of the object is photographed using the photographing means (i.e., the camera member 32), and the photographed image is set to the first reference size of at least one type A second step S13 of selecting a type and a resolution of the user terminal 10 by a user connected to the modeling server 20 at step S12 and a step S11 of registering the type and resolution of the user terminal 10 at the modeling server 20, A second reference size setting unit configured to set a second reference size of an image to be three-dimensionally modeled by the user according to the type and resolution of the user terminal selected in the second step of the first reference size, And a fourth step S15 for selecting and arranging images corresponding to the second reference size set in the third step S14 and the third step S14.

In the first step S11, the user selects three types of images (for example, a small image S, an intermediate image M, and a large image B) from the camera member 32, To the modeling server 20

In the third step S14, the image sizes of the two types of objects corresponding to the type and resolution of the user terminal 10 among the image sizes of the three types of objects set in the first process (for example, A small image S, and an intermediate image M).

In the fourth step S15, the first image among the second reference sizes of the images set in the third step S14 may be first selected and arranged.

In the second step S20, if an event is input by the user in step S21, if the event is enlarged or reduced (S22), the first step S1 (S222) of selecting an image of a second reference size when the size of the image of the object calculated in the 1-1 process is smaller than the second reference size have. At this time, if the size of the image of the object calculated in the first step is larger than the second reference size, the second-step S222 may select the image having the largest size among the first reference sizes. For example, when the calculated object size is smaller than the small image S, the second-1 process S2222 is performed by modifying and selecting the small image S as the size of the small image S, If it is smaller than the image M, the calculation is modified and selected as the size of the intermediate image M. If it is larger than the intermediate image M, the calculation can be modified and selected as the size of the large image B set by the user. In the second step S20, if the image of the object of the calculated size and the current object image are different, the image may be replaced with the object image of the original state (S224).

In other words, if the event is enlarged or reduced, the image size of the required object is calculated due to the execution of the event. If the required object image is not yet loaded due to enlargement or reduction, the image size is smaller than the already loaded image You can use the object image that was loaded earlier

Accordingly, when the event is enlarged, an image of the three-dimensional modeled object may be displayed through the second step S20.

In the second step S20, when an event is input by the user, if the event is the rotation S23, the image of the object selected and arranged in the fourth step S15 is rotated. In other words, since there is no new traffic even if the event is rotated, the object image of the initially initial size is used. Then, when the user's operation is canceled, the rotation event is ended. Since the rotation event does not need to be viewed in detail during the rotation of the object image, it is not necessary to use the high resolution image, but the initially loaded small resolution image is used (S231) and the size of the current object image is grasped at the end of rotation ) And if you need a high-resolution image, you can call it at that time.

Accordingly, when the event is the rotation, the image of the three-dimensional modeled object may be displayed through the second step S20.

In the second step S20, when the event is input by the user, if the corresponding event is moved (S24), only the position of the image of the object selected and disposed in the fourth step S15 is changed, S241). This movement event moves the image of the object to the calculated position according to the event, and when the user's operation is canceled, the movement event ends.

Accordingly, when the event is the movement, an image of the three-dimensional modeled object may be displayed through the second step S20.
