Description

A method for offering Web-3D contents in use of network, and its system}

The present invention relates to a network-based Web-3D content providing method and system, and does not sell Web-3D solution directly, other members can also share and use the same content information, the general user without registration process The present invention relates to a network-based web-3D content providing method and a system that can conveniently use a web-3D screen.

In general, Web-3D solution refers to a program or a series of solutions that obtains data about the required object in order to implement the object in three dimensions, and then reprocesses it to provide a three-dimensional screen to the web. This application or solution for Web-3D is based on three-dimensional data that can implement a three-dimensional screen, such as event effects (music, video effects, interactive motion representation, etc.) or various three-dimensional (light source effects, reflection effects, Improves texture information for better texture) and reduces the volume of 3D content so that it can be operated on the web.

Therefore, all Web-3D programs require 3D object data generated by 3D implementation programs and hardware such as 3D Studio, Maya or 3D scanners. According to the method of processing this three-dimensional object data, there is a difference in the technical performance of each Web-3D.

At present, foreign companies that are commercializing a solution or software for web-3D (hereinafter referred to as "Web-3D solution") of polygon-based virtual reality using three-dimensional object data in Korea are foreign companies. The Web-3D solution of these companies purchases the Web-3D solution directly by the person who wants to implement Web-3D on their web page, executes it, and inputs the data of the 3D object to produce the Web 3D form. . And, if you want to publish this on the web, it was inconvenient to obtain a license directly from the Web-3D solution provider.

In addition, Web-3D contents produced using the software of the majority of Web-3D solution companies are made in the form of files unique to each solution company, and a general plug-in program must be installed in order to view the contents on the web. . This is to allow Web-3D solution providers to charge for the number and duration of postings on the web to earn revenue.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a conventional network-based Web-3D content.

First, a Web-3D solution company sells a Web-3D solution to members 200 who want to provide a Web-3D screen to general users 100 (S100). Sales of Web-3D solutions are made through online or offline sales, and members who purchase Web-3D solutions pay for the purchase. Then, the member executes the Web-3D solution using a computer medium (S104). The member inputs the 3D information for the Web-3D implementation required by the purchased Web-3D solution in order to implement the 3D input image of the object to implement the 3D screen. Accordingly, various 3D stereoscopic images may be implemented.

However, in order to implement on the member's own network, such as the homepage, the user must request license authentication from the Web-3D solution company 300 for the Web-3D image information of each object (S106), and obtain the license authentication (S108). . Once the license is authenticated, the member posts to the web through the server of the hosting company which stores and manages the information of the company's server or homepage. Thereafter, the general user 100 accesses the member's homepage through a network or the like (S112). In the related art, in order to view a three-dimensional screen of an object provided by the general user 100 on the web, a web-3D solution company ( 300 to request the download of a dedicated plug-in program provided online (S114), and must install a dedicated plug-in program (S116). The reason why the web-3D solution company 300 forces general users to install a dedicated plug-in program is to figure out the number of general users 100 requesting a web-3D screen, and then to web-member 200. To charge for 3D service. The general user 100 having the dedicated plug-in installed now requests the member 200 for the Web-3D screen of the desired object (S118), and can receive the Web-3D screen (S120). The general user 100 may request a Web-3D screen of an object by using a server administrator who manages a web (home page). The method may be implemented by clicking a 2D image or clicking a name of the object. By doing so, a three-dimensional screen can be requested.

As such, the provision of a Web-3D screen using a conventional network network directly sells a Web-3D solution to generate revenue, and a general user must install a separate plug-in program to view a Web-3D screen. In addition, since members store and store Web-3D content information in a server of a hosting company that stores and manages information of their own server or homepage, sharing of information among different members for the same content is difficult.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the object of the present invention is not to sell Web-3D solution directly to reduce the burden of members, general users can install a dedicated plug-in program or membership registration It is to provide a network-based Web-3D content providing method and a system that can be provided free Web-3D screen without any inconvenience to be.

 As shown in the figure, the web server 320 may be configured to include a Web-3D engine and a DB server through a separate server, or may include a Web-3D engine and a DB server.

3 is a system schematic diagram illustrating a structure of a system for providing network-based Web-3D content according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Here, the general user mobile terminal 600 is connected to the general user. Data transmission to the mobile terminal is transmitted to the mobile terminal through the Internet and the SMAP server 500 of the mobile communication service company. Then, the general user of the mobile terminal receives the predetermined information (Web-3D screen, etc.) from the web server 320 through a predetermined download operation.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a processing step of a method for providing network-based Web-3D content according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the member 200 needs to access a web server 320 of a Web-3D solution company operating the system of the present invention using a mobile terminal or an internet network. Then, membership registration is performed. 9 illustrates the membership registration process in detail. 9, a member 200 who wants to show a Web-3D screen to a general user using the system of the present invention requests member registration information (S502) and receives member registration information. This is done by downloading a program written in JavaScript, for example, from a web server. Such a program runs in a so-called web explorer such as Internet Explorer or Netscape. Member registration information includes a member ID, password, password, name (name), address, telephone number, member number, homepage IP address, usage capacity, payment information (bank number, etc.). The member 200 creates member registration information (S506) and transmits the created member registration information to the web server 320 (S508). The web server 320 stores this member registration information in the member DB 364. Here, it should be noted that a general user, that is, a person who wants to be provided with a Web-3D screen through a member's homepage, does not need to go through a separate member registration process.

When a member who has completed the membership registration process wants to produce Web-3D content, he / she first requests a search for Web-3D content of a web server. Receiving the search request, the web server 320 searches for whether there is Web-3D content information on the same object in the Web-3D content DB (S204). You can search by entering a search word such as the company, module name, name, etc. manufactured. Searching can also be done by downloading a program written in JavaScript, for example, from a web server. Next, the web server sends the searched result to the member.

If the Web-3D information about the object to implement the Web-3D screen is already stored in the DB server, the user approves the use according to the use request from the member, and based on the member information and the Web-3D content information If it is not stored, and receives the raw Web-3D content information from the member to generate the Web-3D content information, based on this change the member information, the information of the Web-3D content information, This Web-3D content information is stored in the storage space (S206 to S214).

When the information is changed / stored (S214), the web server transmits the link information corresponding to the Web-3D content information to the member. The link information includes an IP address where Web-3D content information is stored, a URL of a hosting company, and the like. The person who manages the homepage of the member uses the link information to link the web-3D screen on the member's homepage so that general users can view it. A general user can view a three-dimensional screen by clicking on a two-dimensional image or clicking on a name of an object without accessing a hosting company's server and registering as a member.

Although not shown, the member must pay the cost of using the hosting server of the Web-3D solution provider (ie, the system of the present invention). The cost is the storage capacity of the member used by the member, It is calculated based on the number of times of using the content information stored in the storage space, the number of links of the content information stored in its storage space, the number of content information provided by the member to other members, the usage period, and the like. Payment is made by the payment module of the web server. The member may perform electronic payment by credit card, electronic payment by electronic money such as coin, electronic payment using accumulated points, and the like.

7 is a flowchart when the Web-3D content information of an object already exists in a storage space according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Receive member registration information (S302), register the member (S304), and transmit the member registration result to the member. The member requests a search of whether the Web-3D content information of the object to be implemented exists in the server of the Web-3D hosting company (S306). The web server searches the Web-3D content DB to search whether there is Web-3D content information of the object (S308). Then, the result is transmitted to the member (S310). If the member wants to use the retrieved Web-3D information, the member requests the use of Web-3D content information (S312). Accordingly, the web server approves the use request (S314), and changes / stores the information of the member information and the Web-3D content information (S316). Then, the link information is transmitted to the member (S318). Link information includes IP address where Web-3D content information is stored and URL of hosting company. Based on the link information, the member connects a link to the Web-3D content information (S320). On the other hand, after the link to the Web-3D content is connected, the general user accesses the member homepage (S322), clicks on the two-dimensional image or clicks the name of the object to request the Web-3D screen using the link information. (S324), the Web-3D screen can be viewed. That is, the Web-3D content information is provided to view the Web-3D content screen online.

8 is a flowchart when Web-3D content information of an object is not in a storage space according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Receive member registration information (S402), register the member (S404), and transmit the member registration result to the member. The member requests a search of whether the Web-3D content information of the object to be implemented exists in the server of the Web-3D hosting company (S406). The web server searches the Web-3D content DB to search whether there is Web-3D content information of the object (S408). Then, the result is transmitted to the member (S310). If there is no search result, the member receives the active X page (S412) and inputs three-dimensional information (ie, raw Web-3D content information) of an object to implement a Web-3D screen in the active X page ( S416). The web server then interprets / simulates the input information and provides a Web-3D screen. The member can continue to change the 3D information until the desired Web-3D screen is produced to receive the Web-3D screen. It should be noted that in this process, members do not download the entire Web-3D solution and simulate the Web-3D screen on their server or computer, but access the Web-3D engine online and run the simulation. When the desired Web-3D screen is completed, the member requests to store the generated Web-3D content information in the member's own storage space (S420). Accordingly, the member information and the information of the Web-3D content are changed / stored, and the generated Web-3D content information is stored in the storage space (S422). Then, the link information is transmitted to the member (S424). The member connects to the link (S426). Hereinafter, the same as described with reference to FIG. 7.

10 illustrates an Active X Page screen, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. ActiveX pages can be viewed by members through a web browser. Active X page is configured to allow members to input three-dimensional information (raw Web-3D content information) about the object to implement the Web-3D screen, and add various effects.

11 and 12 are examples of a service screen that can be viewed by general users when a member implements a Web-3D screen according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

As described above, the method for providing Web-3D content of the present invention provides a storage space of a hosting server (system of the present invention) to a member and does not sell a separate Web-3D solution. It stores contents information and can be used by other members. When you want to make a Web-3D screen for an object, you can use the Active X page online instead of downloading the entire Web-3D solution. That is, when a general user wants to see a Web-3D screen, the user can view the Web-3D screen by selecting or clicking the Web-3D screen on the member's homepage without having to directly access the system of the present invention and register as a member. In addition, the revenue structure can be attributed to the hosting costs of Web-3D content information, rather than a separate licensing fee or revenue from solution sales. It is different from the conventional one in that it creates a profit.
