Accordingly, the detailed description to be described below is not intended to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention, if appropriately described, is limited only by the appended claims, along with all scopes equivalent to those claimed by the claims. In the drawings, like reference numerals refer to the same or similar functions over several aspects.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in order to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to easily implement the present invention.

1 schematically shows a three-dimensional unit control apparatus 100 of the present invention.

The three-dimensional unit control apparatus 100 may include a memory 110 and a processor 120. It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the method of the present invention will be implemented utilizing a combination of computer hardware and software.

The memory 110 of the three-dimensional unit control device 100 may store instructions. Specifically, the instructions are computer software for causing the three-dimensional unit control device 100 to function in a specific manner, and a computer or other programmable It may be stored in computer usable or computer readable memory that may be directed to data processing equipment. It is also possible for the instructions to perform processes for executing the functions shown in the figure.

In addition, the processor 120 of the three-dimensional unit control device 100 may include a hardware configuration such as a micro processing unit (MPU) or a central processing unit (CPU), a cache memory, and a data bus. have. In addition, it may further include an operating system and a software configuration of an application that performs a specific purpose.

A method of controlling the arrangement of the three-dimensional units by the configuration of the three-dimensional unit control apparatus 100 will be described below.

First, the shapes of the three-dimensional unit in which the arrangement state is controlled by the three-dimensional unit control apparatus 100 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

Each of the three-dimensional units of the present invention is a three-dimensional unit 210 in the shape of a triangular pyramid as in FIG. 2 (a) or a three-dimensional unit 220 in which at least a portion of a rectangular parallelepiped is formed into a three-dimensional curved surface as in FIG. 2 (b). I can. However, FIG. 2 is only an example for showing the shape of the three-dimensional unit, and a three-dimensional unit having a shape different from the shape shown in FIG. 2 may be applied to the present invention. In addition, all of the first to nth three-dimensional units may have the same shape, but may have different shapes.

For example, since the triangular pyramid has four sides, the first to fourth zones may belong to the three-dimensional unit 210 of a triangular pyramid shape shown in FIG. 2A. Here, four different colors may be assigned to each of the first to fourth zones, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, a plurality of colors may be allocated to the first area by dividing a predetermined area ratio, the second area may not be assigned a color, or the same color may be assigned to the first area and the third area.

In this way, if the colors allocated to a plurality of areas belonging to the three-dimensional unit are different, the audience 500 located at a certain distance from the template 300 in which the three-dimensional units are arranged, is adjacent to each other rather than recognizing the color of each three-dimensional unit. You will recognize the combined colors formed by the three-dimensional units. Accordingly, if a plurality of such three-dimensional units exist, even if only a few colors are assigned to each three-dimensional unit, colors may be combined by adjacent three-dimensional units to express full color.

As another example, in the three-dimensional unit 220 in which some areas of the cube shown in FIG. 2 (b) are formed as a three-dimensional curved surface, first to sixth areas including a first area formed as a three-dimensional curved surface Can belong.

Here, it is possible to assume individual normal vectors (normal vectors) that exist at each point of the first area formed as a three-dimensional curved surface. If the color assigned to the first area is blue, blue may be assigned to have the same brightness and same saturation throughout the first area, but at least one of the brightness and saturation of blue is present in the first area. It may be managed to correspond to each value of individual normal vectors.

For example, the brightness and/or saturation of blue assigned to the part protruding farthest from the center of the solid unit in the first section and the brightness and/or saturation of blue assigned to the edge of the first section may be differently assigned. I can.

Next, referring to FIG. 3, the three-dimensional unit control device 100 controls the arrangement state of the three-dimensional units 210-1, 210-2, ..., 210-n arranged on the template 300. Explain how.

In FIG. 3, the shape of the three-dimensional units 210-1, 210-2, ..., 210-n arranged on the template 300 is shown as a triangular pyramid, but this is only an example, and It has been described with reference to FIG. 2 that the three-dimensional units may be arranged.

First, a set of a plurality of zones belonging to each of the first to nth three-dimensional units 210-1, 210-2, ..., 210-n arranged on the template 300 is a first zone set and a first zone set, respectively. 2 zone sets, ..., referred to as n-th zone sets, the first zone set includes first to p1 zones, the second zone set includes first to p2 zones, ..., and The n-zone set may include first to pn-th zones.

Here, the first zone set means a set of first to p1 zones belonging to the first three-dimensional unit.

And, the first to m1th colors are assigned to at least a part of the first zone set, the first to m2th colors are assigned to at least a part of the second zone set, ..., to at least a part of the nth zone set The first to mnth colors may be assigned.

For example, the first to m1th colors may be allocated to the entire first to p1th areas of the first set of areas. Alternatively, as described with reference to FIG. 1, the first to m1th colors may be allocated only to some of the first to p1th areas.

In addition, the first to nth stereoscopic units 210-1, 210-2, .. to the control unit for moving the first to nth stereoscopic units 210-1, 210-2, ..., 210-n. ., 210-n) in an interlocking state, the three-dimensional unit control apparatus 100 obtains a control signal from the control unit and refers to the control signal, the first to nth stereoscopic units 210-1, 210-2, ..., it is possible to control the arrangement state of the k-th three-dimensional unit (210-k) corresponding to at least a portion of 210-n).

Here, the control signal can be obtained from the controller, and the type of the control signal will be described later with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

Hereinafter, a method of controlling the arrangement state of the three-dimensional units by the three-dimensional unit control apparatus 100 will be described in detail.

As an example, the three-dimensional unit control apparatus 100 may include a specific area normal vector 211-k corresponding to a specific area among the first to pk-th areas of the k-th stereoscopic unit 210-k and a direction perpendicular to the template. The arrangement state of the k-th stereoscopic unit 210-k may be controlled so that the angle 301-k between the template normal vectors 301 becomes an angle within a critical range.

Here, the specific area means an area that the 3D unit control device 100 intends to show to the audience 500 among a plurality of areas belonging to the 3D unit. In addition, the angle within the critical range may mean that the directions of the two vectors completely coincide as the angle 301-k between the specific area normal vector 211-k and the template normal vector 301 becomes 0 degrees. , It is not limited thereto, and may mean an angle within a predetermined range, that is, a range of -10 degrees to +10 degrees.

That is, assuming that the audience 500 exists in the direction perpendicular to the template 300, the template normal vector 301 in the direction perpendicular to the template 300 is taken as a reference, and the direction perpendicular to the specific area is specified. The template 300 is controlled by controlling the arrangement state of the k-th solid unit 210-k so that the angle 301-k between the zone normal vector 211-k and the template normal vector 301 is within the critical range. A specific area of the k-th stereoscopic unit 210-k may be accurately displayed to the audience 500 existing in the vertical direction.

More specifically, each of the first to pk-th areas of the k-th stereoscopic unit 210-k is one of a first type including a two-dimensional surface or a second type including a three-dimensional surface, in which attributes are managed. In the three-dimensional unit control device 100, the first specific area normal vector and the template normal vector 301 corresponding to the first specific area among a plurality of areas belonging to the first type of the k-th stereoscopic unit 210-k The first of a plurality of zones belonging to the second type of the k-th stereoscopic unit 210-k and macroscopic adjustment to control the arrangement state of the kth stereoscopic unit 210-k so that the angle 301-k between them is an angle within the first critical range. 2 Control the arrangement state of the k-th solid unit 210-k so that the angle 301-k between the second specific area normal vector and the template normal vector 301 corresponding to the specific area becomes an angle within the second critical range You can perform macro adjustments.

Here, the first critical range and the second critical range may be set to be a predetermined angular range as described for the critical range above.

In addition, the second specific region normal vector corresponds to a net sum of individual normal vectors in a direction perpendicular to the second specific region. The reason for deriving the second specific sequence normal vector by the pure sum of the individual normal vectors is that the second specific region may correspond to a curved surface as a second type region including a three-dimensional surface, so it is perpendicular to the second specific region. This is because individual normal vectors in a direction can be plural.

Therefore, it is difficult to control the arrangement state of the k-th solid unit 210-k so that the angles within the second threshold range for all of the plurality of individual normal vectors. Therefore, the pureness of individual normal vectors corresponding to the second specific area (net) A second specific region normal vector that is the sum can be used.

In this way, macroscopic adjustment may be performed for the first type area and the second type area of the k-th stereoscopic unit 210 -k.

In addition, the three-dimensional unit control device 100, the k-th three-dimensional unit 210-k so that the angle 301-k between the second specific area normal vector and the template normal vector 301 is an angle within the third threshold range. ) Can be additionally performed micro-adjustment to control the arrangement state.

This is, when the 3D unit control device 100 controls the second specific area of the kth 3D unit 210-k to be visible to the audience 500 only through macroscopic adjustment, due to the characteristics of the 3D surface, the second specific area This is because the color of may not be accurately recognized by the audience 500 than the color of the first specific area.

Accordingly, the stereoscopic unit control apparatus 100 may perform macroscopic adjustment on the second specific area of the k-th stereoscopic unit 210-k and then additionally perform microscopic adjustment. For example, the third threshold range may mean that an angle between the second specific area normal vector and the template normal vector 301 is 0 degrees.

Above, a method of controlling only one specific area of the kth stereoscopic unit 210-k to be visible to the audience 500 has been described, and below, a plurality of areas of the kth stereoscopic unit 210-k are described by the audience ( I will describe how to control it so that it is visible to 500) at the same time.

That is, each of the first to pk-th areas of the k-th stereoscopic unit 210-k is one of a first type including a two-dimensional surface or a second type including a three-dimensional surface. The unit control device 100 controls the arrangement state of the k-th stereoscopic unit 210-k so that the angle between the first integrated normal vector and the template normal vector 301 is within a first critical range, and Macroscopic adjustment of controlling the arrangement state of the k-th stereoscopic unit 210 -k may be performed so that the angle between the second integrated normal vector and the template normal vector becomes an angle within the second critical range.

Here, the first integrated normal vector is a first specific region normal vector corresponding to a first specific region among a plurality of regions belonging to the first type of the k-th solid unit 210-k and a first type adjacent to the first specific region Or, it corresponds to the net sum of the first neighboring region normal vectors corresponding to at least one first neighboring region corresponding to the second type, and the second integrated normal vector is the kth solid unit 210-k. A second specific area normal vector corresponding to a second specific area among a plurality of areas belonging to the second type and a first type adjacent to the second specific area, or a second corresponding to at least one second adjacent area corresponding to the second type. 2 It corresponds to the net sum of the adjacent region normal vectors. Meanwhile, since the second specific region normal vector has already been described above, further detailed descriptions are omitted.

In addition, the first threshold range and the second threshold range in the method of controlling a plurality of zones to be simultaneously visible to the audience 500 are the first threshold described in the method of controlling only one specific zone to be visible to the audience 500. Since it is similar to the contents of the range and the second critical range, detailed descriptions are omitted.

As such, the three-dimensional unit control apparatus 100 uses the first integrated normal vector through normal vectors corresponding to each of the first specific region of the k-th stereoscopic unit 210-k and the first adjacent regions adjacent to the first specific region. And, by performing macroscopic adjustment so that the angle between the first integrated normal vector and the template normal vector 301 becomes an angle within the first critical range, the first specific area and the first adjacent area are simultaneously visible to the audience 500. Can be done.

Likewise, the three-dimensional unit control device 100 performs macroscopic adjustment so that the second type of second specific area including the three-dimensional surface and the second adjacent area adjacent to the second specific area are simultaneously visible to the audience 500. can do.

In addition, micro-adjustment may be additionally performed so that the second specific area and the second adjacent area are simultaneously visible to the audience 500.

That is, the three-dimensional unit control device 100, the arrangement state of the k-th three-dimensional unit 210-k so that the angle between the second integrated normal vector and the template normal vector 301 is within a third threshold range. It is possible to additionally perform micro-adjustment to control and, since it is similar to the description for performing micro-adjustment in the method of controlling only one specific area to be visible to the audience 500, detailed descriptions will be omitted.

Meanwhile, a specific image may be shown to the audience 500 only through the colors allocated to the plurality of areas of the kth stereoscopic unit 210-k, but the display panel 400 is additionally provided to the kth stereoscopic unit 210-k. By installing it, you can bring out more various visual effects.

As an example of the three-dimensional unit in which the display panel 400 is installed, the three-dimensional unit shown in FIG. 4A may be used. That is, in a state in which the display panel 400 is installed in at least some of the first to pk-th areas of the k-th stereoscopic unit 210-k, the stereoscopic unit control apparatus 100 is Control the arrangement state of the k-th three-dimensional unit 210-k so that the angle between the vector 301 and the normal vector of the panel installation area where the display panel 400 is installed is within the critical range, but each of the display panels 400 Allows the user to additionally output the colors assigned to the panel installation area.

For example, assuming that red is assigned to the first area of the third stereoscopic unit and blue is assigned to the second area of the fourth stereoscopic unit, the first area of the third stereoscopic unit and the second area of the fourth stereoscopic unit It is assumed that a display panel 400 is installed in each.

In such a situation, the three-dimensional unit control device 100, the third three-dimensional unit so that the angle between the normal vector and the template normal vector 301 of the first zone, which is the panel installation zone of the third three-dimensional unit, is within the critical range. It is possible to control the arrangement state of the fourth three-dimensional unit and control the arrangement state of the fourth three-dimensional unit so that the angle between the normal vector of the second region, which is the panel installation region of the fourth three-dimensional unit, and the template normal vector 301 are within a critical range. . In this case, the audience can not only see the red assigned to the first area of the third stereoscopic unit and the blue assigned to the second area of the fourth stereoscopic unit, but also the display panel installed in the first area of the third stereoscopic unit ( Red output through 400) and blue output through the display panel 400 installed in the second area of the fourth stereoscopic unit may be seen.

In addition, the three-dimensional unit control apparatus 100 may divide the display area output through the display panel 400 into an active area and an inactive area, and drive the active area and the inactive area to dynamically change within the display area. .

As an example, when a color output through the display panel 400 is green, the entire display area output through the display panel 400 may be green, but unlike this, only a portion of the display becomes green, and the remaining areas It can also be driven as an inactive area. In addition, various types of images may be output through the display panel 400 by dynamically changing the active area and the inactive area within one display area.

That is, a specific image can be implemented according to a combination of three-dimensional units, and an additional image can be output through the display panel 400 installed in some areas of the three-dimensional units.

On the other hand, when the three-dimensional unit control apparatus 100 controls the arrangement state of the k-th three-dimensional unit 210-k, (i) the absolute or relative of the k-th three-dimensional unit 210-k on the template 300 Allows the kth stereoscopic unit 210-k to rotate while the position is determined, or (ii) causes the kth stereoscopic unit 210-k to rotate a predetermined access range in a direction parallel or similar to the template normal vector 301 You can make it move within.

That is, by rotating the k-th stereoscopic unit 210-k arranged on the template 300, not only can the audience see at least one of a plurality of colors assigned to the k-th stereoscopic unit 210-k, but also , It is possible to implement a three-dimensional shape by allowing the k-th three-dimensional unit 210 -k to move in a direction parallel or similar to the template normal vector 301 within a predetermined access range from the template 300.

Next, some of the embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

FIG. 5 schematically shows a result of the stereoscopic unit control apparatus 100 obtaining a command signal preset from the control unit as a control signal and controlling the arrangement state of the kth stereoscopic unit 210-k with reference to the control signal. I did it.

That is, the preset command signal may be a signal to implement a specific image by rotating each of the plurality of three-dimensional units arranged on the template 300 by a preset angle.

In addition, FIG. 6 shows that the three-dimensional unit control apparatus 100 obtains a control signal. A schematic diagram of the result of controlling the arrangement state of the kth stereoscopic unit 210-k so that the kth stereoscopic unit 210-k corresponds to each position of pixel regions including at least one pixel on the image data will be.

As an example, when it is assumed that the k-th stereoscopic unit 210-k corresponds to each position of pixel regions including at least one pixel on the acquired image data, the kth stereoscopic unit 210-k ) May mean an image reproduction signal to control the arrangement state. Here, the image data acquired by the three-dimensional unit control apparatus 100 may be image data that captures the appearance of an audience around the template in real time.

In other words, in the first pixel area including the first pixel on the image data, there is metadata about blue, which is a color corresponding thereto, and in the third pixel area including the third pixel, meta data about green, which is a color corresponding thereto. In the presence of data, the fifth stereoscopic unit may correspond to the position of the first pixel area and the eighth stereoscopic unit may correspond to the position of the third pixel area. In addition, blue may exist as a color assigned to the fifth three-dimensional unit, and green may be present as a color assigned to the eighth three-dimensional unit.

Under the above conditions, when an image reproduction signal is obtained as a control signal, in order to reproduce the first pixel region and the third pixel region on the image data, the three-dimensional unit control device 100 refers to the metadata related to the color. , Rotate the fifth stereoscopic unit so that the blue-allocated region among the plurality of regions belonging to the fifth stereoscopic unit corresponding to the position of the first pixel region is visible to the audience, and the eighth corresponding to the position of the third pixel region. The eighth stereoscopic unit may be rotated so that a green color is assigned among the plurality of areas belonging to the stereoscopic unit.

In this way, the arrangement state of the plurality of three-dimensional units is controlled, and the shape included in the image data can be reproduced by the three-dimensional unit control apparatus 100 through a combination of the plurality of three-dimensional units.

That is, even if data about the image is not obtained from the outside, the 3D unit control apparatus 100 controls the arrangement state such as rotating the 3D units arranged on the template 300 according to a preset command signal, thereby allowing the audience to It can be recognized as a specific image, or by acquiring data about the image from the outside and controlling the arrangement state such as rotating the three-dimensional units arranged on the template 300, the corresponding image can be reproduced similarly.
