<Configuration>
As an example of the synthesis information as described above, an embodiment in the case where the avatar information of the user A and the user B is synthesized will be described.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a communication system according to the present embodiment. The communication system according to the present embodiment includes a communication server device 200 and a plurality of user terminals 100 (user terminal 100-1, user terminal 100-2, user terminal 100-3...).

  The communication server device 200 communicates with a plurality of user terminals and provides a communication service via a network. In the present embodiment, the communication server device 200 receives and stores the diary information input from the user A, and browses the diary information as the information area of the user A together with the avatar image information of the user A to a third party. A so-called bulletin board-type SNS site is provided, which is provided publicly as possible, and allows user B to write comments in the public diary of user A. The communication server device 200 includes a synthesis server 260, a synthesis information processing unit 250, a synthesis information control unit 220, a storage unit 210, and a front server 230.

  The front server 230 is a web server program that communicates with the user terminal 100 and provides the SNS site to the user terminal 100. In response to the page request received from the user terminal 100, the front server 230 transmits an HTML page including information for communication to the user terminal 100. The front server 230 transmits an HTML page including a control tag for information input to the user terminal 100, and receives information input by the user as a response.

  Moreover, in the SNS site which the front server 230 provides, an account is produced | generated and provided with respect to each user. Each user inputs an account provided from the front server 230 and a password predetermined by the user to the user terminal 100, and the user terminal 100 logs in to an SNS site provided by the front server 230. When logging in normally, a top page unique to each user is displayed on the output unit 140 of the user terminal 100. In addition, in the SNS site provided by the front server 230, each user can create and use avatar image information, which is his or her own, as attribute information having user identification.

  The synthesis information control unit 220 reads out information corresponding to the synthesis request information from the storage unit 210 based on the synthesis request information input from the front server 230, inputs the information to the synthesis server 260, and generates image information generated by the synthesis server 260. Is provided to the user terminal 100 via the front server 230.

The composite information processing unit 250 processes the image information input from the composite information control unit 220. For example, when composite image information generated by the composite server 260 is input, the composite information processing unit 250 receives a still image with a program that operates on the client side (the user terminal 100) based on the input composite image information, A moving image (for example, a flash image) is output.
The storage unit 210 stores information necessary for providing a communication service. The storage unit 210 includes a user attribute information storage unit 211 and a synthesis request information storage unit 212.

The user attribute information storage unit 211 stores attribute information of a user who uses the communication service. The user attribute information storage unit 211 stores information such as a nickname, age, sex, and birthday in association with user identification information.
Here, the user identification information is identification information for uniquely identifying a user who uses the communication service. The user identification information is character string information that is guaranteed to be unique in the system, such as “User001” and “User002”.

  Further, the user attribute information storage unit 211 stores avatar image attribute information for generating avatar image information as attribute information having user identification characteristics in association with user identification information. The avatar image attribute information is image attribute information for generating an image including a person image by so-called 3D rendering, and is information such as model information, texture information, motion information, and the like. Model information is information indicating the shape of a three-dimensional object to be generated. The model information indicates the shape and size of the face and body. The texture information described above is information indicating the design of the generated three-dimensional object. Texture information indicates facial expressions and clothes worn.

  The motion information described above is information indicating the operation of the generated three-dimensional object. The motion information is information indicating operations such as “holding hands”, “dancing”, “holding”, and “jumping together”, for example. A three-dimensional image generation unit 262 described later generates model object information having a shape indicated by the model information. Then, the 3D image generation unit 262 adds a pattern indicated by the texture information to the surface of the model object information. Then, the model object to which the pattern is added is operated as an operation indicated by the motion information. For example, FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of avatar image information generated based on the avatar image attribute information. As shown in FIG. 2, the avatar image displayed on the terminal device expresses the individuality of the user by associating different avatar image information for each user.

  The synthesis request information storage unit 212 stores synthesis request information transmitted from the user terminal 100. The combination request information includes first user identification information that is identification information of a user (for example, user A) that has transmitted the combination request information, and a user (for example, user B) that the user who has transmitted the combination request information desires to combine. This is information including second user identification information, which is identification information, and synthesis method information indicating a method for synthesizing the avatar image information corresponding to the first user identification information and the second user identification information. Here, the synthesis method information is, for example, motion information. For example, when motion information indicating “hold hands” is specified as the synthesis method information, an image in which the avatars of the user A and the user B hold hands as shown in FIG. 3A is generated. 3B is an example of an avatar image when motion information indicating “dancing” is specified, and FIG. 3C is an example of the avatar image when motion information indicating “holding” is specified. It is an example.

  The composition server 260 is a server program that accepts a request from the composition information control unit 220 as input information, further converts the avatar image generated as a three-dimensional image into a two-dimensional image, and outputs it. The composition server 260 includes a three-dimensional image generation unit 262 and a two-dimensional image generation unit 261.

The three-dimensional image generation unit 262 generates avatar image information based on at least avatar image attribute information that is model information, texture information, and motion information.
The 2D image generation unit 261 converts the 3D image information generated by the 3D image generation unit 262 into 2D image information.

  The user terminal 100-1 is a terminal device used by a user (for example, user A) connected to the SNS site provided by the communication server device 200, and includes a communication unit 110-1, a composition request unit 120-1, and a composition. An information receiving unit 130-1, an output unit 140-1, and an input unit 150-1 are provided.

The communication unit 110-1 communicates with the front server 230 of the communication server device 200.
The composition request unit 120-1 generates composition request information and transmits it to the communication server device 200.
The composite information receiving unit 130-1 receives the composite information transmitted from the communication server device 200. The composite information receiving unit 130-1 may be dedicated application software for receiving the composite information. In the present embodiment, for example, an Internet browser or mail client software capable of receiving image information may be used.

The output unit 140-1 outputs the composite information so that it can be confirmed by the user. The output unit 140-1 is, for example, a display screen. In addition, when synthetic | combination information is an audio | voice, the output part 140-1 is a speaker.
The input unit 150-1 receives information input from the user. The input unit 150-1 is, for example, a keyboard, buttons, or a touch panel.

  The user terminal 100-2 is a terminal device used by a user (for example, user B) connected to the SNS site provided by the communication server device 200, and has the same configuration as the user terminal 100-1. Similarly, the user terminal 100-3 is a terminal device used by a user (for example, the user C) connected to the SNS site provided by the communication server device 200, and has the same configuration as the user terminal 100-1.

  In this embodiment, the communication server device 200 provides the SNS site. However, the service provided by the communication server device 200 is not limited to the SNS site, and an electronic bulletin board system, a chat system, an online system, and the like. Any communication system that uses avatars such as games and messengers may be used.

  In the present embodiment, the composition server 260 includes the two-dimensional image generation unit 261, and further converts the avatar image generated as a three-dimensional image into a two-dimensional image and outputs it. In addition, it is not required to have a processing capability to analyze and operate 3D image information including operation information. Moreover, it is also because it does not give an excessive load to a network by communicating 3D image information. Therefore, if the user terminal 100 has sufficient processing capability to perform analysis processing of 3D image information and the capacity of the network line is secured with a margin, the 2D image generation unit 261 is stored in the composition server 260. 3D image information may be transmitted as a response to the synthesis request information from the user terminal 100. In this case, the user terminal 100 may be provided with a three-dimensional image analysis processing unit.

  In the present embodiment, three user terminals 100-1 and 100-2, which are user terminals 100-1 and 100-2, will be described as specific user terminals. It may be used by a plurality of users, or four or more user terminals may be connected to the communication server device 200.

<First operation example>
Next, an operation example in which the communication server device 200 according to the present invention provides composite information to the user terminal 100 will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the user A who is the user of the user terminal 100-1 inputs the synthesis request information to the input unit 150-1 of the user terminal 100-1. The combination request information includes first user identification information that is identification information of the user A itself, second user identification information that indicates user identification information of the user B who is a user who wants to synthesize (want) an avatar image, and Motion information as synthesis method information indicating a synthesis method.

  The composition request unit 120-1 of the user terminal 100-1 transmits the input composition request information to the front server 230 of the communication server device 200 via the communication unit 110-1 (Step S1). When the front server 230 receives the synthesis request information transmitted from the user terminal 100-1, the synthesis information control unit 220 stores the synthesis request information in the synthesis request information storage unit 212 of the storage unit 210. The synthesis information control unit 220 also includes attribute information of the user (user A) corresponding to the first user identification information included in the synthesis request information and attribute information of the user (user B) corresponding to the second user identification information. Are read from the user attribute information storage unit 211.

  Then, the synthesis information control unit 220 inputs the motion information as the synthesis method information, the attribute information of the user A, and the attribute information of the user B to the 3D image generation unit 262 of the synthesis server 260 (Step S2). . The three-dimensional image generation unit 262 generates a three-dimensional composite image that operates such that the avatar image information of the user A and the avatar image information of the user B are indicated by the motion information received as the synthesis method information. Then, the three-dimensional image generation unit 262 inputs the generated three-dimensional composite image to the two-dimensional image generation unit 261. Then, the two-dimensional image generation unit 261 converts the input three-dimensional image into a two-dimensional image.

The composite information control unit 220 outputs the 2D image generated by the 2D image generation unit 261 by converting the 3D image to the front server 230 (step S3).
The front server 230 transmits the two-dimensional image to the user terminal 100-1 (Step S4). Then, the output unit 140-1 of the user terminal 100-1 displays the received two-dimensional image. The front server 230 also transmits a two-dimensional image to the user terminal 100-2 (step S5). The output unit 140-2 of the user terminal 100-2 displays the received two-dimensional image.

<Second operation example: Fusion of attribute information of multiple users>
The user identification information of the other party who wants the image of the avatar included in the above synthesis request information may be user identification information of a plurality of users.
For example, the composition request information transmitted by the user terminal 100 in step S1 of FIG. 5 includes the first user identification information that is identification information of the user A himself and the user identification information of the user B who is a user who wants to involve the avatar image. And second user identification information which is information indicating both user identification information of user C and motion information as combination method information indicating a combination method.

  When the synthesis request information including a plurality of pieces of user identification information as the second user identification information is transmitted in step S1 and the front server 230 receives the synthesis request information, the synthesis information control unit 220 receives the synthesis request information. The attribute information of the user (user A) corresponding to the first user identification information included and the attribute information of the users (user B and user C) corresponding to the second user identification information from the user attribute information storage unit 211 It reads out and makes the generating / synthesizing server 260 generate composite information of avatar image information corresponding to these three users. For example, when the first user identification information indicates the user A, the second user identification information indicates the user B and the user C, and the motion information indicates “dancing”, the synthesis server 260 is illustrated in FIG. Such as avatar image composition information is output.

  The front server 230 transmits the synthesis information output by the synthesis server 260 to the user terminal 100-1, the user terminal 100-2, and the user terminal 100-3. The user terminal 100-1, the user terminal 100-2, and the user terminal 100-3 display the received composite information on the output units included therein.

<Third operation example: approval of composition>
The communication server device 200 may perform the composite information generation process after obtaining the approval of the user corresponding to the second user identification information.
For example, when the synthesis request information is transmitted from 100-1 to the communication server apparatus 200 in step S1 of FIG. 5 and the synthesis information control unit 220 reads the second user identification information from the synthesis request information, the front server 230 is Then, a message indicating that there is a request for combining avatar information from the user A is added to the top page of the SNS site corresponding to the user B indicated by the second user identification information.

  When the user B logs in to the SNS site provided by the front server 230 using the user terminal 100-2, the output unit 140-2 of the user terminal 100-2 displays a message for which a synthesis request is received from the user A on the display screen. The top page including is displayed. User B confirms the message displayed on the top page. When information indicating that the synthesis request is approved is input from the user B, the user terminal 100-2 transmits the synthesis request approval information to the front server 230.

  When the front server 230 receives the combination request approval information, the communication server device 200 generates the combination information as in the above operation example.

As described above, in the present embodiment, by making the avatar image information into a three-dimensional image, it is possible to create an entangled image in combination with the avatar image information of other users, and to make the avatar perform various actions. Is possible.
Further, the composite information control unit 220 inputs the two-dimensional image to the composite information processing unit 250 that processes the composite image, and outputs the two-dimensional image further processed by the composite information processing unit 250 to the user terminal 100. You may do it.

Moreover, you may provide the synthetic image information produced | generated by the communication server apparatus 200 so that browsing is possible for users other than a 1st user and a 2nd user.
Further, the communication server device 200 may store the synthesis request information transmitted from the user terminal 100 in the synthesis request information storage unit 212 and generate the synthesis information in accordance with the request from the user terminal 100.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, although the synthetic | combination information which synthesize | combined the avatar image was generated, what kind of information may be synthesize | combined as long as it is attribute information which shows the individuality of each user. For example, when a unique voice is associated with each user, the voice as attribute information corresponding to each of the user A and the user B is synthesized, and the designation of “compose chord” or the like as the synthesis method It is good also as a structure which performs this and produces | generates the synthetic | combination audio | voice information.

  Further, when registering the synthesis request information transmitted from the user terminal 100 in the synthesis request information storage unit 212, the synthesis information control unit 220 receives information of the user attribute information storage unit 211 at the time of receiving the synthesis request information. May be further memorized. In this way, even when the user attribute information is subsequently changed, the user terminal 100 can acquire the synthesis information based on the user attribute information at the time when the synthesis request information is transmitted.

  Also, an arbitrary plurality of synthesis request information is read from the plurality of synthesis request information stored in the synthesis request information storage unit 212, a plurality of synthesis information is generated, and an HTML page as an album in which the plurality of synthesis information is collected is displayed. It may be generated and provided to the user terminal 100. Such an HTML page can be enjoyed as an album in which a plurality of pieces of composite information can be browsed.

  The user terminal 100 may be provided with an application as a motion information generation unit that generates the above-described motion information so that the user terminal 100 can generate motion information. If it does in this way, not only predetermined motion information but an action peculiar to a user can be generated, and an avatar can be operated.

  In addition, for example, when the SNS site provided by the communication server device 200 has a friend registration function for registering a specific user as a special user, the avatar images of users who have completed friend registration It is also possible to read out information and generate composite information as motion information for the “do banzai together” operation and provide it to the user.

As described above, according to the present invention, for example, it is possible to obtain composite information that causes special emotions only for users who share a certain sense in advance. By touching, you can get a special deep communication experience.
In addition, since such synthetic information is generated based on attribute information unique to a specific user, the combination becomes rich and rich as the number of users increases, leading to the development of rich and unpredictable communication. There is a possibility of prompting.

Furthermore, since such synthetic information is generated based on attribute information unique to a specific user, for example, fusion with attribute information unique to a celebrity on a network has a special meaning, and communication The width can be increased.
Furthermore, the user can perform new communication by requesting a user who has not exchanged until now to synthesize attribute information.

Furthermore, since the communication server device stores the synthesis request information, it can generate the synthesis information based on the attribute information of each user at the time when there is a synthesis information acquisition request from the user. Even when the attribute information of each user is changed, synthesis information based on the changed attribute information can be provided, and the user can obtain the latest synthesis information. That is, the user can enjoy the pleasure of acquiring the composite information for the composite request transmitted in the past every time the attribute information changes.
In this way, the present invention provides a new form of communication by organically intertwining the attribute information of each user and generating new information.
