Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an Internet advertisement and sales method, and more particularly to an Internet advertisement and sales method using various material data of three-dimensional computer graphics as a product through the Internet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a creator of three-dimensional computer graphics various material data advertises and announces his or her work, it is processed into a completed example such as a still image or a moving image or only a part of the work. Distributed to specific advertisers,
There is something to announce. These completed examples are usually distributed and announced as advertisements in magnetic media such as compact disks and video tapes, and printed media such as magazines. This is because if the work is distributed as it is with various material data of 3D computer graphics, it may be used without permission, or the data may be partially processed and used. It is common to distribute and announce.

[0003]

However, in such an advertisement according to the completed example, when an advertisement recipient purchases a work, the advertisement is first negotiated with a creator, and the creator then negotiates various materials of three-dimensional computer graphics. In order to create a magnetic medium containing data and send the magnetic medium, it takes many days for an advertisement recipient to actually obtain various types of material data, and cannot be used immediately.

[0004] In addition, in such an advertisement using a medium, a large amount of cost is required for creating and distributing the medium. Advertisers, on the other hand, were unable to make a purchase decision after selecting the desired one from many works.

[0005] Therefore, according to the present invention, by using the Internet, an advertisement recipient can quickly obtain various types of material data of three-dimensional computer graphics when selecting a work and deciding to purchase, and the advertisement recipient can use the Internet. It can be used as a material for three-dimensional computer graphics in real time. Also, by concentrating works on a specific place on the Internet, advertisement recipients can compare a plurality of works and decide on a purchase.

[0006] Further, for the producer, posting the work on the Internet can reduce the cost and labor required for media creation, distribution, and presentation, and can introduce the work to an unspecified number of advertisement recipients. And the like, it is possible to eliminate the problems caused by the advertisement of the magnetic medium or the print medium, and to provide the sales information in real time at low cost and easily.

[0007]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an Internet advertising and selling method for advertising and selling various shape data (modeling data, wire frames, etc.) of three-dimensional computer graphics through the Internet. is there. Here, as the various shape data for advertisement and sale, any shape data that constitutes three-dimensional computer graphics, such as whole shape data and a part of the shape data, may be used. DXF, L
Any data type (data format, data layout) that can be read by WO, EPSF, and other three-dimensional computer graphics software may be used.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided an Internet advertisement and sales method for providing and selling texture data of three-dimensional computer graphics, surface information such as colors and patterns, etc. through the Internet.
Here, various texture data for advertising and sales, surface information such as colors and patterns, and the like include BMP, GIF, JP
Any data type (data format, data layout) that can be read by EG, TIFF, and other three-dimensional computer graphics software may be used.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided an Internet advertisement and sales method for providing and selling sound source data (such as sound effects) related to three-dimensional computer graphics through the Internet. Here, various sound source data (such as sound effects) for advertising and sales include WA
V, AIFF, MPG3, or any other data type (data format, data layout) required for three-dimensional computer graphics.

[0010] According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided an Internet advertisement and sales method for providing and selling an assembly drawing of three-dimensional computer graphics through the Internet. Here, in addition to printed matter, TEXT data,
Any data type (data format, data layout) that can store a document such as PDF data may be used.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided an Internet advertisement and sales method, wherein the above-described various materials of three-dimensional computer graphics are set and advertised and sold through the Internet. Here, what is set as a set may include all of the various materials of the three-dimensional computer graphics described above, or a plurality of data and figures such as, for example, two sets of shape data and an assembly explanatory drawing are set. They can be freely combined. In addition to various types of shape data, texture data, surface information such as colors and patterns, sound source data, assembly explanatory drawings, and the like, any material data that constitutes three-dimensional computer graphics may be used.

[0012] Therefore, according to the Internet advertising and selling method of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth aspects of the present invention, the creator of various material data of three-dimensional computer graphics can use examples of the magnetic medium or the print medium. Advertisements and sales can be carried out inexpensively and easily without distributing and announcing the information in the Internet. In addition, the advertisement recipient can make a purchase decision after selecting desired ones from many works as a set or alone. In addition, ad recipients can download various types of material data needed on the spot,
Data can be obtained promptly.
