Referring to FIG.

Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of a system for providing a social network emoticons using a 3D character according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

2, the system for providing a social network emoticons using 3D characters according to the present invention includes an emoticon providing server 100, an SNS server 200, and a user terminal 300.

The emoticon providing server 100 stores data constituting a 3D character, transmits the data when the user terminal 300 requests data, or directly creates and stores a 3D character and generates an emoticon.

Meanwhile, the SNS server 200 receives the emoticons generated by the user terminal 300 or the emoticon providing server 100, and allows the user to use the emoticons in the SNS chat window.

The user terminal 300 executes the application providing the present invention and receives 3D character data from the emoticon providing server 100 to generate and store various emoticons or to generate and store various emoticons generated by the emoticon providing server 100 Emoticons are provided.

In addition, it is connected to the SNS messenger to share 3D character data with the counterpart terminal 301 or to transmit the emoticons to the counterpart terminal 301.

Hereinafter, the specific functions of the emoticon providing server 100, the SNS server 200, and the user terminal 300 will be described in detail with reference to a method for providing a social network emoticons using 3D characters according to the present invention. .

Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a method for providing a social network emoticons using a 3D character according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3 to FIG.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, the user terminal 300 generates and stores emoticons from 3D characters.

As shown in FIG. 3, a first embodiment of a method for providing a social network emoticons using a 3D character according to the present invention starts by executing an application in the user terminal 300 (S110).

When the user terminal 300 requests 3D character data from the emoticon providing server 100 in step S120, the emoticon providing server 100 receives a data transmission request in step S130 and transmits 3D character information (S140).

The user terminal 300 selects a preferred 3D character among the 3D characters, and receives the configuration data of the selected 3D character from the emoticon providing server 100 and stores it in the user terminal 300 (S150) .

An example of the 3D character selection process of steps 120 through 150 will now be described. A user selects his / her preferred body form from among various body forms provided from the emoticon providing server 100, As shown in FIG. 7B, the user selects his / her preferred face shape from among various face shapes, selects various clothes, accessories, and the like, and ultimately makes his or her own unique 3D character, You can choose as.

In this case, steps 110 through 150 may be performed when the first 3D character is selected, and may not be executed if the 3D character is already selected and stored.

Thereafter, the user terminal 300 accesses the SNS messenger server (S210).

At this time, the counterpart terminal 301 connected to the user terminal 300 may share information on the 3D character selected and stored. The sharing of the 3D character is necessary in the case of generating the synthetic emoticons and can be selectively performed, and the generation of the synthetic emoticons will be described again.

The user terminal 300 and the counterpart terminal 301 connected to the SNS server can exchange various data on the SNS in a normal manner. If the user terminal 300 wants to transmit an emoticon in the process, the user selects a specific type of emoticon and inputs a request for transmitting the emoticon (S300). Upon receiving the request for transmitting the emoticon, (S400).

At this time, since the present invention generates an emoticon from a 3D character, various types of emoticons can be easily generated. Accordingly, the types of emoticons provided in the present invention may be 2D emoticons of various facial expressions, dynamic emoticons, synthetic emoticons composed of two or more character combinations, and combinations thereof.

A static emoticon used as a term for specifying the type of an emoticon in the present specification means an emoticon with no motion, a dynamic emoticon means an emoticon in which movement occurs with time, and a synthetic emoticon means a Quot; means that the above characters are combined and generated, and a single emoticon means an emoticon composed of one character.

Accordingly, various types of emoticon generation methods will be described in detail below.

First, when receiving the emoticon transmission request (S300), the type of the emoticon included in the emoticon transmission request is discriminated (S410).

At this time, the type of the emoticons may be static emoticons, dynamic emoticons, or synthetic emoticons thereof.

Next, if it is determined in step 410 that the type of the emoticon is a static emoticon, coordinates of minutiae such as eyes, nose, mouth, and the like included in the face of the 3D character are transformed (S420) (S422).

If the static emoticon is a synthesized emoticon synthesized with the character of the other party, the feature point of the 3D character of the other party is converted using the 3D character data received from the counterpart terminal 301 (S420 ').

As shown in FIG. 10, the synthesized emoticon is generated by merging the 3D character of the other party with the converted 3D character of the user's characteristic point (S422 ').

If it is determined in operation 410 that the type of the emoticon is a dynamic emoticon, an operation speed is selected from the user (S430). At this time, it is possible to select the operation speed classified as low speed, medium speed, high speed, etc., and it is also possible to set various speeds in numerical value.

That is, when the user requests the emoticon transmission in step 300, when the user selects a specific type of operation type, the terminal requests the user to input the operation speed and receives the operation speed from the user, .

Next, when the operation speed is selected from the user, the number of configuration frames is calculated according to the selected operation speed (S432).

At this time, when the operating speed is low, a natural slow-motion image is generated by enlarging the number of constituent frames, and when the operating speed is high, the number of constituent frames is reduced to reduce the data capacity.

This is to solve the problem that when the number of constituent frames for the dynamic emoticons is fixed, as in the prior art, if the operation speed is set to a low speed, the image is broken and a natural operation can not be realized.

For example, as shown in Fig. 9, when the moving speed of the dynamic emoticon is the same as that of the dynamic emoticon rising and dropping upward, as shown in Fig. 9A, a relatively small number of frames Two frames), and when the operation speed is set to a low speed, a dynamic emoticon is configured with a relatively large number of frames (six frames) as shown in FIG. 9B to implement a natural operation.

On the other hand, after calculating the number of frames of the dynamic emoticons, coordinates of feature points such as eyes, nose, and mouth are converted from the face of the 3D character (S434).

Thereafter, the converted 3D character is operated according to the selected motion, and a frame of the calculated number of frames is extracted for the unit operation. Then, the extracted frames are collected and a dynamic emoticon is generated (S436).

If the dynamic emoticon is a synthesized emoticon synthesized with the character of the other party, the feature point of the 3D character of the other party is converted using the 3D character data transmitted from the counterpart terminal 301 (S434 ').

Then, the 3D character of the opponent in which the feature point is converted and the 3D character of the user are merged to operate the 3D character according to the selected motion, and the frame of the calculated number of frames is extracted for the unit operation. Then, the extracted frames are collected and a dynamic synthesized emoticon is generated (S436 ').

Thereafter, the emoticon is transmitted to the counterpart terminal 301 (S510), the counterpart terminal 301 receives the emoticon (S520), and the generated emoticons are displayed on the two terminals (S530).

Hereinafter, a second embodiment of a method for providing a social network emoticons using 3D characters according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5 to FIG.

In the second embodiment of the present invention, the emoticon providing server 100 generates emoticons from 3D characters selected by the user, and the emoticon providing server 100 stores them.

As shown in FIG. 5, a second embodiment of a method for providing a social network emoticons using a 3D character according to the present invention starts by executing an application in the user terminal 300 (S610).

In operation S620, the user selects a preferred 3D character among the 3D characters provided by the application, and the emoticon providing server 100 matches the selected 3D character with the corresponding terminal ID and stores the selected 3D character in operation S630.

Here, the selection process of the 3D character is as described above in the description of FIG.

In this case, steps 620 and 630 are performed when the first 3D character is selected. If the 3D character has already been selected, it may not be executed.

Thereafter, the user terminal 300 accesses the SNS through the SNS server 200 (S710).

The user terminal 300 and the counterpart terminal 301 connected to the SNS server 200 exchange various data on the SNS in a normal manner. If the user terminal 300 intends to transmit the emoticon in the process, the user selects a specific type of emoticon and inputs a request for transmitting the emoticon (S720).

The emoticon providing server 100 receiving the emoticon transmission request searches for a terminal ID and generates emoticons of a selected type from the 3D character data matched with the terminal ID in operation S800.

At this time, the types of emoticons generated in the system for providing the social network emoticons using 3D characters according to the present invention are as described in the first embodiment.

Hereinafter, a detailed process of generating the emoticon (S800) in the second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

First, when receiving the emoticon transmission request (S300), the emoticon providing server 100 determines whether the emoticon providing server 100 is a synthetic emoticon (S810).

If it is determined in step 810 that the type of the requested emoticon is a synthetic emoticon, the ID of the user terminal 300 and the partner terminal 301 connected to the SNS server 200 are checked (S820) (S830). If the type of the requested emoticon is not a synthetic emoticon, it is determined whether the type of the requested emoticon is a static emoticon or a dynamic emoticon (S830).

If it is determined that the type of the requested emoticon is not a synthetic emoticon and the type of the emoticon is a static emoticon, the coordinates of the minutiae such as eyes, nose, mouth, etc. included in the 3D character's face (S840), and generates a static emoticons (S842).

If it is determined in step 810 and step 830 that the type of the requested emoticon is a synthetic emoticon and is a static emoticon, 3D character data corresponding to the ID of the partner terminal 301 and the ID of the user terminal 300 The minutiae points of the corresponding 3D character data are transformed together (S840).

Next, as shown in FIG. 10, a synthesized emoticon is generated by merging the 3D character of the other party with the converted 3D character of the user terminal (S842).

If it is determined that the type of the requested emoticon is not the synthetic emoticon and the dynamic emoticon is selected as a result of steps 810 and 830, the operation speed is selected from the user (S850) (S852). ≪ / RTI >

At this time, the contents of the operation speed setting and the calculation of the number of configuration frames are the same as those described in the first embodiment.

Next, after calculating the number of constituent frames of the dynamic emoticons, coordinates of feature points such as eyes, nose, and mouth are converted from the face of the 3D character (S854).

Then, the converted 3D character is operated according to the selected motion, and the frame is extracted by the calculated number of frames for the unit operation. The dynamic emoticons are generated by collecting the extracted frames (S856).

If it is determined in steps 810 and 830 that the type of the requested emoticon is the synthetic emoticons and the dynamic emoticons, the process of setting the operation speed from the user and calculating the number of constituent frames therefrom, As described above in the description of step 852,

However, in this case, the feature points of the eyes, nose, mouth, and the like included in the face of the 3D character corresponding to the user terminal ID, the feature points of the motion, and the eyes, nose, The coordinates of the minutiae points and the minutiae points on the motion are converted (S854).

Then, the 3D character corresponding to the converted user terminal ID and the 3D character corresponding to the counterpart terminal ID are merged, and the merged 3D character is operated according to the set motion.

The frame is extracted by the number of frames calculated for the unit operation. The dynamic emoticons are generated by collecting the extracted frames (S856).

Thereafter, the emoticon providing server 100 transmits the created emoticon to the user terminal 300 (S910), the user terminal 300 receives the emoticon (S920), and transmits the emoticon to the counterpart terminal 301 And transmits it through the SNS server 200 (S930).

The counterpart terminal 301 receives the emoticon (S940), and the emoticon is displayed on the screen of both the terminals (S950).

It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein but is defined by the scope of the appended claims and that various changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the appended claims. It is self-evident.

For example, if the emoticon selected by the user is a synthetic emoticon, if there is no 3D character information corresponding to the counterpart terminal 301, the emoticon may be generated and transmitted through the basic 3D character. As a representative example, there is a case where the other user does not subscribe to the service providing system according to the present invention.
