Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear. In addition, the terms described below are defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention, which may vary depending on the intention of the user, the operator, or the custom. Therefore, the definition should be based on the contents throughout this specification.

1 is a reference view showing a screen in which an image providing apparatus 2 converts a product image on a screen into a real size three-dimensional (3D) product moving picture according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, an image providing apparatus 2 converts a product image displayed on a screen into a real-size three-dimensional commodity moving image and reproduces it on a screen. The product image displayed on the screen prior to image conversion is an image displayed on the screen, the size of which is determined according to the display specification, not the actual size of the product. That is, the size may vary depending on the size, screen size, and resolution of the original image file. The three-dimensional commodity moving image is a concept that contrasts with the two-dimensional commodity image which is displayed by photographs and the like on the cross section of the commodity. Actual size three-dimensional commodity videos are reproduced in the form of video as it is for the actual size of the commodity.

2 is a configuration diagram of an image providing apparatus 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, the image providing apparatus 2 includes a database 20, an operation unit 22, an image conversion unit 24, an image display unit 26, and an input unit 28. [

The input unit 28 receives an operation command from a user. At this time, the input unit 28 can receive image size information from the user. The input unit 28 may be a user interface such as a mouse or a keyboard.

The operation unit 22 converts the product image displayed on the screen into a three-dimensional commercial moving image of actual size. The image conversion function of the operation unit 22 can be implemented in a program form. Or may be implemented in the form of a chip, a card, or a separate peripheral.

The image display unit 26 reproduces the converted three-dimensional commodity moving picture through the operating unit 22 on the screen. The database 20 stores user information and product information. The product information may include product image information. The product image information includes a two-dimensional product image displayed on the screen, a three-dimensional product image, and actual size information of the corresponding product.

The image providing apparatus 2 can convert a product image on the screen into a three-dimensional commercial moving picture of an actual size and reproduce it through various methods. Hereinafter, a full-size three-dimensional commercial moving image providing method according to various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

According to the first embodiment, the image providing apparatus 2 reproduces a three-dimensional commodity moving image, and receives size information on the three-dimensional commodity moving image from the user through the input unit 28. [ At this time, the three-dimensional commodity moving image specifies that the moving image is not a real moving image.

The input unit 28 can receive the size information from the user with respect to the three-dimensional commodity moving image stopped in front or in the plane. For example, when a three-dimensional commodity moving image faces the front during the three-dimensional commodity moving image reproduction, the moving image is stopped or stopped by the user. Then, size information is input to the front image stopped by the user. The reason why the size information is inputted to the three-dimensional commodity moving image stopped in the front or the plane is because there is no distortion of the object in the front or the plane and the correct size information can be inputted from the user.

Further, the input unit 28 can receive the size information from the user in the area where the product is not distorted in the three-dimensional commercial moving picture stopped in front or in the plane. Embodiments in which the input unit 28 receives image size information from the user will be described later with reference to FIGS. 7A to 7C.

Then, the calculation unit 22 calculates the ratio between the size information of the three-dimensional commercial moving image inputted through the input unit 28 and the actual size of the corresponding commodity. Actual size information about the product is stored in the database 20 in advance. Then, the image converting unit 24 converts the previous three-dimensional commodity moving image into the real size three-dimensional commodity moving image by using the ratio calculated through the calculating unit 22. [ Then, the image display unit 26 reproduces the real-size three-dimensional commercial moving image converted through the image conversion unit 24 on the screen. An example of utilization of real-size three-dimensional commodity moving image according to the first embodiment will be described later with reference to FIG.

According to the second embodiment, the image providing apparatus 2 receives size information of a two-dimensional commodity image which is viewed when the input unit 28 is viewed from the front or from the two-dimensional commodity images displayed on the screen, from the user . Two-dimensional product images are product images displayed on the screen according to the display specification, and are image images when the user views one of the front, left, back, right, and bottom surfaces.

Then, the calculation unit 22 calculates the ratio between the size information of the two-dimensional product image input through the input unit 28 and the actual size of the corresponding product. Then, the image converting unit 24 converts the three-dimensional commodity moving image of the commodity into the three-dimensional commodity moving image of the actual size, using the ratio calculated through the calculating unit 22. [ At this time, the three-dimensional article moving image before conversion may be stored in the database 20 in advance.

Then, the image display unit 26 reproduces the real-size three-dimensional commercial moving image converted through the image conversion unit on the screen. An example of utilization of real-size three-dimensional commodity moving image according to the second embodiment will be described later with reference to FIG.

According to the third embodiment, the image providing apparatus 2 receives size information on the two-dimensional commodity image viewed from the front of the two-dimensional commodity images by the input unit 28 from the user. The reason why the front view or the floor view is selected from the two-dimensional product images is that there is no distortion of the object in the front view or the floor view, and accurate size information can be input from the user. Next, the calculation unit 22 calculates the ratio between the size information of the two-dimensional product image input through the input unit 28 and the actual size of the corresponding product.

Then, the image converting unit 24 converts the two-dimensional commodity images seen when each side is viewed by using the ratio calculated through the calculating unit 22 into actual-sized images, and converts the converted actual- Thereby generating an actual size three-dimensional commercial moving picture. For example, when the calculation unit 22 calculates the ratio between the size and the actual size of the two-dimensional commodity image, the product image that is displayed when the calculated ratio is viewed on the front, left, rear, right, To convert them into actual sized images that are visible when looking at each side. Then, actual size three-dimensional commercial moving images are generated by combining actual size images on the front, left side, rear side, right side, plane, and bottom side.

Then, the image display unit 26 reproduces the actual size three-dimensional commercial moving image generated through the image conversion unit 24. [ At this time, the actual size three-dimensional merchandise moving image may be a form in which the images of the actual size of the merchandise viewed when the respective sides are viewed are rotated as the time passes. For example, the three-dimensional commodity moving image may be an image that is displayed as the actual size images on the front, left side, back side, right side, plane, and bottom face are rotated at regular time intervals. An example of utilization of real-size three-dimensional commodity moving image according to the third embodiment will be described later with reference to FIG.

3 is a reference view showing a screen of the image providing apparatus 2 to explain an example of providing an actual size three-dimensional commercial moving picture according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

2 and 3, the image providing apparatus 2 reproduces the three-dimensional commercial moving image 300 on the screen. Here, the three-dimensional merchandise moving image 300 reproduced on the screen is not a moving image for a commodity having an actual size.

Then, when the three-dimensional merchandise moving image 300 faces the front or the plane during the reproduction of the three-dimensional merchandising moving image 300, the user stops the three-dimensional merchandising moving image 300. This is referred to as stationary front or planar image 310. The user then enters size information for the frozen front or planar image 310. The user can input the size information for the area where there is no distortion of the goods in the front or plane image 310. [

When the size information is input by the user, the image providing device 2 calculates the ratio between the size information of the front or plane image 310 input from the user and the actual size of the corresponding product. Then, by using the calculated ratio, the previous three-dimensional commodity moving image 300 is converted into a three-dimensional commodity moving image 320 of an actual size and reproduced on the screen.

4 is a reference view showing a screen of the image providing apparatus 2 to explain an example of providing an actual size three-dimensional commercial moving picture according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

2 and 4, the image providing apparatus 2 displays two-dimensional merchandise images on the screen. Here, the two-dimensional product images displayed on the screen are product images displayed on the screen in accordance with the display specification, not the product images having the actual sizes, and may be any one of front, left, back, right, It is the product image which is seen when we see each. The user inputs size information for a two-dimensional product image 400 displayed when viewed from the front or a plane among the two-dimensional product images displayed on the screen. The user can input the size information for the area where there is no distortion of the product with respect to the two-dimensional product image 400 seen when viewed from the front or the plane.

When the size information is input by the user, the image providing device 2 calculates the ratio between the size information of the front or plane image 400 received from the user and the actual size of the corresponding product. Then, by using the calculated ratio, the three-dimensional commercial moving picture 410 of the corresponding product is converted into the three-dimensional commercial moving picture 420 of the actual size and is reproduced on the screen. The three-dimensional article moving image 410 before conversion is not an article image having an actual size.

FIG. 5 is a reference view showing an embodiment of real-size three-dimensional commercial moving picture provision according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

2 and 5, the image providing apparatus 2 displays two-dimensional merchandise images on the screen. Here, the two-dimensional product images displayed on the screen are product images displayed on the screen in accordance with the display specification, not the product images having the actual sizes, and may be any one of front, left, back, right, It is the product image which is seen when we see each. The user inputs size information for the two-dimensional product image 500 displayed when viewed from the front or the plane, among the two-dimensional product images displayed on the screen. The user can input the size information for the area where there is no distortion of the product on the two-dimensional product image 500 viewed when viewed from the front or the plane.

When the size information is input by the user, the image providing device 2 calculates the ratio between the size information of the front or plane image 500 input from the user and the actual size of the corresponding product. Then, by using the calculated ratio, the two-dimensional product images, which are respectively viewed when the respective faces are viewed, are converted into the actual size images 510, and the converted actual size images 510 are combined to obtain the actual size 3 Dimensional commodity moving image 520 and reproduces it on the screen. At this time, the actual size three-dimensional merchandise moving image 520 may be a form in which the images of the actual size of the merchandise visible when the user views the respective surfaces are rotated as time elapses. For example, the three-dimensional merchandise moving image 520 may be an image that is displayed as the actual size images on the front, left side, rear side, right side, flat and bottom sides are rotated at regular time intervals.

6A is a reference view showing a screen of an image providing apparatus 2 that provides various product images according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6A, the image providing apparatus 2 can display various product images on the screen. The image providing apparatus 2 can display two-dimensional merchandise images and three-dimensional merchandise moving images. Two-dimensional merchandise images are images that are seen when looking at a predetermined side of a product, and are images viewed when looking at the front, left side, back side, right side, plane, and bottom. A three-dimensional commodity moving image is an image in which a commodity is reproduced in the form of a moving image. The two-dimensional merchandise images and the three-dimensional merchandise moving images may be enlarged or reduced through an image conversion process, respectively, and then converted into actual sizes.

6B is a reference view showing a screen of an image providing apparatus 2 that provides various product images according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6B, while the image providing apparatus 2 is providing an actual-size three-dimensional article moving image, the user wants to see an actual size two-dimensional article image seen when the user looks at a predetermined side (for example, front side) Dimensional frontal merchandise image menu, the image supply device 2 stops providing the three-dimensional merchandise moving image and displays the two-dimensional frontal merchandise image in a pop-up form at the corresponding three-dimensional merchandise moving image position. This is to provide a more accurate image to the user since the quality of the three-dimensional commodity moving image may be lower than that of the two-dimensional commodity moving image. Of course, the user manipulation for image conversion can be variously modified. For example, when a pointer is positioned on a three-dimensional commodity moving picture on a display device screen, a two-dimensional commodity image can be automatically displayed.

7A to 7C are views illustrating examples of receiving size information from a user according to various embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to Figs. 7A to 7C, the image providing apparatus 2 receives size information from a user on an area of a two-dimensional commodity image seen when viewed from the front or in a plane through the input unit 28, Receive input.

FIGS. 7A and 7B illustrate a process of automatically inputting a size when a user designates a point on the same horizontal line or on a vertical line.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 7A, the image providing apparatus 2 receives point input information from a user through an input unit 28. FIG. For example, a user designates a point using a user interface device such as a mouse or a keyboard at a point at which a size is to be input. When the user desires to input the horizontal size of the mobile phone product, a point is designated on the left side of the mobile phone and a point is allocated on the right side of the mobile phone, as shown in FIG. 7A. When the user specifies a point, it detects the pixel coordinates of the specified point.

When the user designates a point and two points designated as shown in Fig. 7A are on the same horizontal line, the number of pixels between the designated points is calculated. Then, when the number of pixels between the points designated by the user is calculated, the number of pixels between two predetermined points included in the actual size information of the image is calculated. Let m be the number of pixels between two preset points included in the actual size information of the image, and let l be the actual size information between the two points. It is also assumed that the number of pixels between the points designated by the user is n. If the actual size between the points you specify is x, x can be obtained by the proportional expression of m: l = n: x. The actual size x is obtained by proportional expression. On the other hand, Fig. 7B shows the same method as when the user designates a point on the vertical line, and the above-mentioned user specifies a point on the same horizontal line.

7C is a view illustrating a process of automatically inputting an actual size of a point designated by a user and a display screen when a point designated by the user is not on the same horizontal line or on the same vertical line according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7C, the image providing apparatus 2 receives point input information from the user through the input unit 28. FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 7C, the user designates a point using a user interface device such as a mouse or a keyboard at a point at which a size is to be input. At this time, when the user desires to automatically input the diagonal length information of the cellular phone, two points are designated on different horizontal lines as shown in FIG. 7C. When a point is designated as shown in FIG. 7C, the number of horizontal pixels and the number of vertical pixels between two points are calculated. Also, the number of pixels between two predetermined points included in the actual size information of the image is calculated. Assume that two predetermined points included in the actual size information of the image are for horizontal size, m is the number of horizontal pixels between the two points, and l is the actual size information between the two points. It is also assumed that the number of pixels between the points designated by the user is n. In this case, the horizontal size x between the points specified by the user can be obtained by the proportional expression of m: l = n: x. Also, when x is obtained, the vertical size y between the points designated by the user can be obtained by using the resolution information. For example, if the resolution is 1200 * 800, then y is 2/3 of x. If you obtain the actual horizontal size and actual vertical size between the points you specify, you can use Pythagorean theorem to find the actual size between the points you specify.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a full-size image according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 8, the image providing apparatus 2 receives size information of a three-dimensional commercial moving image reproduced in a moving image form from a user (8000). At this time, size information of a three-dimensional commodity moving image that is viewed when viewed from the front or a plane may be inputted from a user. Furthermore, the user can input size information on the area where the product is not distorted in the three-dimensional commodity moving image viewed from the front or from the plane.

Next, the ratio between the size information of the inputted three-dimensional commodity moving image and the actual size of the corresponding commodity is calculated (8010). Then, using the calculated ratio, the three-dimensional commodity moving image reproduced on the screen is converted into the three-dimensional commodity moving image of the actual size (8020). Subsequently, the converted real size three-dimensional commercial moving image is reproduced (8030).
