The information generating unit 120 stores an image of an offline store captured by the seller through a photographing device (not shown) of the seller-side terminal 300 and creates a virtual store in virtual reality based on the stored image. do.

Specifically, the information generating unit 120 may generate information about an offline store, products sold or scheduled to be sold in the offline store, image information, internal information of the offline store, and event information occurring in the offline store. In this case, the inside of the offline store or the product sold or scheduled to be sold in the offline store may be generated as a 3D image. To this end, the information generating unit 120 may include an algorithm capable of converting a 2D image into a 3D image after taking a product or offline store in 2D or panorama from multiple angles, and creating a product or offline store from the beginning. Off-line store information may be created using a 3D photographing device (eg, a 360° camera, etc.) that photographs in 3D.

The information transmission unit 130 is a component that transmits information related to the 3D image-based offline store generated by the information generation unit 120 to the buyer's terminal 200 .

As described above, the seller may create internal information of the seller's offline store, information on products sold or scheduled to be sold in the offline store, information on events occurring in the offline store, and the like, in the virtual store.

Stored offline store information can be checked in the purchaser's terminal 200 through the virtual store. Specifically, the purchaser may access the virtual store created through the server 100 using an application installed on the purchaser's terminal 200 . When the buyer accesses the virtual store, products sold in the actual offline store can be checked on the purchaser's terminal 200, and each product can be selected and checked.

The matching unit 140 may determine whether offline store information stored in the information generating unit 120 and virtual store information exposed to the buyer's terminal 200 match.

Specifically, the matching unit 140 may determine whether product information stored in an offline store matches product information displayed in a virtual store exposed to the purchaser's terminal 200 . At this time, if the product information stored in the offline store and the product information confirmed through the purchaser's terminal 200 do not match, the product information of the offline store is newly input through the information generating unit 120, or the seller Guidance is provided to update related product information so that product information stored in an offline store can be matched with product information checked through the purchaser's terminal 200 .

That is, the seller inputs and stores offline store information in the server 100 in near real time or/and real time, and the created virtual store may be updated based on the offline store information input by the seller.

Also, in the virtual store information providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of buyers can use a virtual store corresponding to one offline store. For example, a small number of sellers in one offline store may guide or promote products to many buyers in real time. In this case, when a plurality of buyers want to receive product information from one offline store at the same time, there may be limitations in receiving accurate product information and store information.

To solve this problem, the virtual store information providing system has a number of people output unit (150) outputting whether the number of users of the virtual store requesting offline store information through the purchaser's terminal 200 exceeds the preset number of people who can participate in the virtual store. ) may be further included.

When the number of store users requesting offline store information is greater than the number of people who can participate in the preset virtual store, the server 100 may switch the purchaser-side terminal 200 requesting offline store information to a standby state for using the virtual store. . For example, the number output unit 150 of the server 100 outputs the buyer's terminal 200 requesting offline store information when the number of store users requesting offline store information is greater than the number of people who can participate in a preset virtual store. You may be guided to "Wait for store use" in After that, if a buyer terminates the use of the store among the number of people using the store, the buyer's terminal 200 waiting to use the store can receive information on the possibility of using the store, and the buyer's terminal 200 waiting to use the store You can choose to use or stop using the store.

The seller side can use this “waiting for use of the store” state to access the appropriate number of people to provide the product or service, and provide the product or service or customer service with good quality. Furthermore, the seller side can adjust the number of purchaser terminals 200 in the “store use standby” state by adjusting the number of people who can participate in the virtual store for “store use standby”, and in some cases “store use standby” By increasing the number of purchaser-side terminals 200 in the “state, a marketing effect that can be recognized as a highly popular store may be obtained.

As described above, offline store information of a seller displayed on the purchaser side terminal 200 may be implemented as a virtual store based on virtual reality. In this case, the offline store information displayed on the purchaser's terminal 200 may be based on the actual location of the offline store. For example, if the place where the actual offline store is located is [Gangnam], a virtual reality may be created similarly to the street of [Gangnam], and the virtual offline store may be located on the generated virtual reality.

In addition, a number of offline stores may be located in [Gangnam]. A plurality of offline stores may be listed in a virtual reality similar to the real [Gangnam], and a plurality of offline stores listed in the virtual reality may be exposed to the purchaser's terminal 200 using the virtual store information providing system.

That is, adjacent offline stores can be created in virtual [Gangnam] through the virtual store information providing system, and the virtual [Gangnam] can be created to be viewed as an environment similar to the actual Gangnam street. In addition, the buyer can use the same store as the actual offline store in the virtual [Gangnam]. In other words, the server 100 can create a plurality of virtual stores in one virtual reality, and the buyer can use the created plurality of virtual stores in one system.

The captured image can be input to an application installed on the seller's terminal 300, and specific information (eg, price, product size, product fabric, etc.) (S110). The captured image thus input is transmitted from the seller side terminal 300 to the server 100 .

Thereafter, a virtual store corresponding to the offline store may be created in the server 100 (S120). That is, the seller may input offline store information and product information on sale or scheduled to be sold on the virtual store created in the server 100 . In particular, a virtual store created by the server 100 may create a virtual store similar to an environment in which an actual offline store is located. For example, if an actual offline store is located in [Gangnam], [Gangnam] may be implemented in virtual reality, and a virtual store may be created in [Gangnam] of the implemented virtual reality. In this case, a plurality of virtual stores may be created in [Gangnam] of virtual reality similarly to real [Gangnam]. In addition, a virtual store created by the server 100 may be different from where an actual offline store is located, and stores of different brands may be located in a different location from the actual offline store.

When the virtual store is created and the buyer connects to the server 100 through the buyer's terminal 200, the buyer can select a desired virtual store from among a plurality of virtual stores (S130). Buyers who choose a virtual store can see inside the virtual store just like entering a physical store.

When the buyer selects a product in the offline store, the product may be expanded, a new URL for the product may be created, or a description or advertisement for the product may be displayed (S140).
