Description

Art gallery providing system and method using metaverse and computer program for it

Embodiments relate to a system and method for providing an art gallery and a computer program therefor. More specifically, the embodiments provide works of art, such as works of art, within a metaverse so that the work can be appreciated, and the artist himself or another user plans an exhibition of the work within the metaverse to display and sell the work. It is about technology that provides a platform where users can purchase works exhibited by other users.

Art works, especially in the field of fine art, are exhibited and sold in galleries in collaboration with gallery operators in charge of exhibition planning and sales. When a work buyer, such as an art collector, purchases a work from a gallery and generates revenue, the generated profit is divided between the artist and the gallery manager in a certain ratio. By purchasing a work, the ownership of the work is directly transferred from the artist to the buyer, or if the artist transfers the ownership of the work to the gallery operator at the time of the exhibition, the gallery operator transfers the ownership of the sold work to the buyer.

However, in such a conventional sales method, since the gallery manager bears the cost and plans the exhibition, it is difficult for a new artist to attract the attention of the gallery. For this reason, in the case of new artists who have not been famous, they have to pay for their own expenses and rent a gallery to sell their works. there is

Recently, with the rapid development of information and communication technology, many parts of commercial transactions are moving online. Even in the case of art works, as disclosed in Patent Registration No. 10-1867343, a platform for trading art works using an online gallery technology has emerged. However, the technology disclosed in Registered Patent Publication No. 10-1867343 simply replaces the method of providing information with images, videos, etc. It has limitations that do not solve the problem.

For example, each part of the art gallery providing system 3 may be components communicatively connected to each other under a distributed computing environment.

The communication unit 31 may generate work image information from the user device 1 of the first user and receive spatial image information from the user device 2 of the second user. In this case, the first user is an artist and the second user may be a user different from the first user, but is not limited thereto, and depending on the embodiment, both the first user and the second user may be the artist himself, in which case the artwork The gallery providing system 3 may receive both work image information and space image information from one device.

The gallery providing unit 33 serves to create a gallery in which work images are arranged in a virtual space corresponding to the space image information received from the user. In one embodiment, the gallery providing unit 33 includes a spatial information generator 331 that generates spatial information defining a virtual space corresponding to spatial image information in a 2D or 3D space form, and It includes an image composition unit 332 for arranging a work image at a specific location in a virtual space by combining work image information with spatial information. In addition, the gallery providing unit 33 may provide the gallery created as described above so as to be displayed on user devices of users accessing the art gallery providing system 3 . The specific form of the gallery will be described later in detail.

When a first user providing work image information and a second user providing spatial image information are different users, the second user may be another user who plans an exhibition using the works of the first user, who is an artist. In this case, the gallery providing unit 33 requests the first user for consent to display the work image information prior to combining the work image information with the space information based on the space image information of the second user, from the first user. A gallery can also be created after receiving exhibition consent information.

The user management unit 32 may store and manage user types of users using the art gallery providing system 3 , platform use history or work purchase history of each user as user information. In one embodiment, the user management unit 32 manages customer ratings for each user based on the user's type, usage history, purchase history, etc., and the gallery providing unit 33 customers of users accessing the art gallery providing system 3. Depending on the level, the user's interaction related to the area in the virtual space or the work may be differentiated and provided. For example, a gallery in which some areas or functions in a virtual space are limited may be provided according to customer levels, which will be described in detail later.

The purchase processing unit 34 is a part for performing purchase processing and payment for the corresponding work when a buyer who has viewed an image of a work in the gallery provided through the gallery providing unit 33 requests purchase of the work. At this time, the buyer can check the works through exhibitions planned by others and decide to purchase them, or/or upload the image of the space himself, arrange the image of the work in the virtual space he wants, and if he likes the work, You may decide to purchase the artwork.

The compensation providing unit 35 is a part for distributing compensation corresponding to the payment to users associated with the corresponding work, when a purchaser purchases a work and payment is made by the purchase processing unit 34 . At this time, the compensation provided to the users may be an amount minus the fee of the art gallery providing system 3 corresponding to the platform among the purchaser's payment.

For example, when a first user who is an artist uploads an image of a work and also uploads an image of a space for displaying the work, the reward providing unit 35 compensates the first user for the purchaser's payment minus the platform fee. can be paid with At this time, a discount on the price of the work may be provided to the buyer as an incentive for using the platform.

As another example, if a first user who is an artist uploads an image of a work, and another user, who is a second user, uploads a space image and sells the work by displaying the image of the work in a virtual space, the reward providing unit 35 An amount obtained by subtracting the platform fee from the purchaser's payment may be distributed to the first user and the second user, respectively, and paid as compensation. In this case, the second user can generate revenue by planning an exhibition using the artist or the works of the artists, and the first user can sell the work through the exhibition of other users who have exhibition planning ability. In particular, unlike the physical body of the work, the image of the work in the metaverse can be displayed in multiple spaces in duplicate, increasing the probability of sale.

2 is a flowchart illustrating each step of a method of providing an artwork gallery according to an exemplary embodiment. The art gallery providing method according to embodiments may be performed using the art gallery providing system according to embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the art gallery providing system 3 may receive work image information from the first user 100 (S11). In addition, the art gallery providing system 3 may provide work images to be viewed by other users accessing the art gallery providing system 3 . In this state, the image of the work may not be provided within the metaverse combined with spatial information, but may be provided in the form of an image through a web page or application.

In this case, the first user 100 may also provide the art gallery providing system 3 with dimension information related to the size of the actual work corresponding to the work image information. This is to adjust the size proportion of the work image so that other users can easily grasp the actual size of the work when placing the work image in the metaverse gallery. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the operator of the art gallery providing system 3 may directly receive a real work of art from the first user 100, take an image of the work using the received real work, and measure size information.

The second user 200 using the art gallery providing system 3 browses the work image through the art gallery providing system 3 (S12), arranges the corresponding work in a virtual space configured by himself, and sells the corresponding work. An exhibition of the work may be requested from the art gallery providing system 3 (S13). For example, the second user 200 may be a conventional gallery operator or broker who plans an exhibition of works that are judged to be valuable, but is not limited thereto, and art collectors or general buyers also provide art galleries. You can become an art dealer who plans an exhibition through the system (3).

In FIG. 2, the first user 100 and the second user 200 are shown for convenience of description, but information exchange between each user using the art gallery providing system 3 and the art gallery providing system 3 is It will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that this is performed using the user devices 1, 2, and 4 (FIG. 1) used by each user.

In response to the exhibition request of the second user 200, the art gallery providing system 3 may request consent to the exhibition from the first user 100, the artist of the work (S14). If the first user 100 agrees to exhibit the work by the second user 200, the art gallery providing system 3 sends a space image from the second user 200 to define a metaverse space in which the work will be displayed. can receive In this case, the space image may be an image of a real space to be composed of a virtual space or a sketch representing the space, and may include a plurality of images or may be in the form of a video in order to define the space in detail.

In the above, it has been described on the premise that the first user 100, who is the author of the work, and the second user 200, who plans the exhibition therefor, are different users. Users may be the same user. That is, both the first user 100 and the second user 200 of FIG. 2 may be the artist himself, in which case the second user 200 may perform a process of viewing the image of the work (S12) or the exhibition of the work. The process of obtaining consent from one user 100 (S13, S14) and the like may be omitted.

Next, the art gallery providing system 3 generates space information defining a virtual space using the space image received from the user (S16), and synthesizes the work image at a preset location in the virtual space to create a work of art. It is possible to create a gallery, which is a metaverse space in which this exhibition is displayed (S17).

The art gallery providing system 3 provides the created gallery to users using the art gallery providing system 3, for example, the first user 100, the second user 200, and potential buyers 400. By providing it, it is possible to provide an environment in which users can appreciate works within the metaverse-based gallery and purchase works if desired.

3 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an exemplary form of a virtual space provided by an art gallery providing system according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3, a virtual space 300 corresponding to a gallery includes one or more pre-set areas 301 and 302 so that work images can be combined, and each area 301 and 302 is provided by an artist. One work image (310, 320) can be combined through image synthesis. For example, the work images 310 and 320 may be combined in the form of a texture on the surface of a wall 305 or another type of object in the virtual space 300, but image synthesis method is not limited thereto.

As described above, the artist of the work himself provides both the work image and the space image, and the art gallery providing system can create a virtual space 300 as shown in FIG. 3 based on this, or the artist's work image. This virtual space 300 may be created using space images uploaded by other users. In another embodiment, if the artist of the work provides only the image of the work, the art gallery providing system may generate the virtual space 300 by synthesizing the work image in the corresponding space using preset space information. At this time, the art gallery providing system may receive an additional fee for the use of space information and exhibition of the work in addition to the sales mediation fee for the work from the artist.

In one embodiment, constructing the virtual space 300 from the space image and arranging the work images 310 and 320 may be performed in consideration of size proportionality using one or more objects located in the space image. For example, the art gallery providing system determines the overall size of a space by detecting a wall or the like from a space image provided by a user, detects one or more objects such as a sofa or chair located in the space, and determines a virtual space ( 300), the space 300 may be created by arranging object images 303 and 304 corresponding to the object detected in the space image at the location of the object.

At this time, the size of the object images 303 and 304 in the virtual space 300 is determined using the actual size of the object, and the size of the work image 310 and 320 is between the size of the object and the actual size of the work. can be determined based on the proportion of For example, when a sofa is included in a space image provided by a user, the art gallery providing system receives the actual size of the sofa from the user or uses general size information of the sofa to determine the size of the sofa image 303 in the virtual space 300. size can be determined. At this time, since the actual size of the work can be confirmed from the size information received from the artist or measured from the actual work, the size ratio of the actual size of the work to the actual size of the sofa is the size of the sofa image 303 and the work images 310 and 320. The work images 310 and 320 may be enlarged or reduced so that the same proportion is applied.

4 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an exemplary form of another virtual space provided by the art gallery providing system according to an exemplary embodiment.

In one embodiment, the art gallery providing system may configure a gallery to provide an art work image provided by an artist through an exhibition including a plurality of works. That is, the virtual space 400 corresponding to a gallery includes a plurality of areas 401-408 in which works can be placed, and works provided by the same artist or different artists are included in each area 401-408. Images 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460, 470, and 480 may be disposed.

Such galleries may be created by users such as brokers or curators who specialize in exhibition planning based on spatial images received from the corresponding users, but are not limited thereto, and are not limited thereto, from the artist himself or potential buyers of his works. A gallery capable of exhibiting a plurality of works may be created using the received space image.

In one embodiment, the virtual space 400 of the gallery may be partitioned into one or more distinct regions 41-43. Also, in one embodiment, the art gallery providing system may be configured to further display avatars 501 and 502 of users movable in the metaverse gallery where works are displayed in the gallery. The avatars 501 and 502 correspond to each user using the art gallery providing system, and the avatars 501 and 502 can move within the gallery by manipulation through the user's user device, and the position of the avatars 501 and 502 A viewpoint screen in the gallery corresponding to the viewpoint and the viewpoint may be provided to a user accessing the art gallery providing system.

At this time, the art gallery providing system according to an embodiment connects to the art gallery providing system and includes areas 41 to 43 to which the user's avatars 501 and 502 can move according to the user's customer level using the virtual space 400 . ) may apply. For example, the first area 41 of the virtual space 400 is accessible to all types of users who use the art gallery providing system, but the second area 42 is a user type corresponding to an artist or planner. Spatial restrictions can be applied so that only users can access or only users whose history of using/purchasing the platform recorded in the art gallery providing system is at a certain level or higher.

In another embodiment, it is also possible to apply restrictions on interactive functions that the user can enjoy within the virtual space 400 according to the customer level of the user using the virtual space 400 . For example, potential buyers may feel the need to place the work in their own space while appreciating the work in the space 400 planned by others. In this case, in the art gallery providing system, when users select a work through avatars 501 and 502 or other user interfaces within the virtual space 400, the user uploads his space image and places the work in the corresponding space. We can provide you with features that you can try out. In this case, the art gallery providing system according to an embodiment may apply functional restrictions so that the above function is provided only to a user of a specific level according to the customer level of the user using the art gallery providing system.

In one embodiment, customer ratings may be determined based on users' history of using the platform or purchasing history through the platform. At this time, the purchase history may be determined based on the payment amount or the number of payments that the user has paid for using functions such as purchase of works or virtual arrangement of works within the metaverse provided by the art gallery providing system. In addition, usage history means the number of times a user has purchased works within the metaverse provided by the art gallery providing system, the number of times functions such as virtual arrangement of works are used, and other users interact with each other regarding works uploaded by users or exhibitions planned by users. It may be determined based on the number of actions (eg, likes, etc.) or content.

5 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a process of distributing sales revenue of works in an art gallery providing method according to an embodiment, in which a work image received from a first user 100 corresponds to a space image received from a second user 200. It shows the revenue distribution when provided to the gallery combined with the spatial information created using it.

In this embodiment, the art gallery providing system 3 provides such a gallery to users using the art gallery providing system 3 (S21), and the buyer 400 requests purchase of works displayed in the gallery. In case (S22), it is possible to perform purchase processing and payment process for the work. In one embodiment, the art gallery providing system 3 deletes the work image from all galleries including the work image or displays the work image as sold, for the work image of the work completed purchase by the buyer 400, etc. A change to the display form may be further performed.

In this embodiment, since the corresponding work is sold through an exhibition using both the work of the first user 100 and the spatial image of the second user 200, the art gallery providing system 3 provides a restriction on the sale of the work. Rewards may be provided to the first user 100 and the second user 200 respectively (S24 and S25). For example, the art gallery providing system 3 provides the first user 100 and the second user 200 with the sales price minus the fee charged by the art gallery providing system 3 among the purchase price of the purchaser 400 . It can be distributed and paid. The distribution ratio between the platform and each user may be appropriately set according to embodiments, and is not limited to a specific value.

However, this is just an example, and in another embodiment, the work of the first user 100 is provided by the system 3 for providing space information or art galleries defined by the first user 100 without going through exhibition planning by other users. Exhibition and sale can be made through the gallery combined with the spatial information to be displayed. In this case, step S25 shown in FIG. 2 is omitted, and the art gallery providing system 3 may pay the first user 100 all of the sales price excluding the commission of the art gallery providing system 3 .

The compensation provided by the art gallery providing system 3 may be cash corresponding to a part of the payment amount, or may be virtual currency usable within the metaverse provided by the art gallery providing system 3. For example, if the art gallery providing system 3 applies restrictions on some areas of the gallery or functions that can be executed within the gallery, the compensation paid to users is due to users accessing or being limited to the limited area of the gallery. It can also be used to pay for the execution of certain functions.

6 is a flow chart showing each step of a method of providing an art gallery according to another embodiment, in which a buyer 400 of a work uploads an image of his or her own space and virtually arranges the work in a desired space. indicate

Referring to FIG. 6, the art gallery providing system 3 receives a work image from the seller 500 (S31), and other users using the art gallery providing system 3, such as the buyer 400, receive the received work image (S31). It can be provided so that it can be viewed (S32). At this time, the potential buyer 400 who has viewed the image of the work requests the art gallery providing system 3 to execute the virtual arrangement function in order to virtually arrange the work in his space (S33), and for virtual arrangement The space image may be transmitted to the art gallery providing system 3 (S34).

In the art gallery providing system 3, spatial information corresponding to a 2D plane or 3D space is generated using the spatial image received from the buyer 400 (S35), and the seller 500 is located at a preset location within the space. A gallery may be created by synthesizing the work images of (S36). The user who provided the space image checks the gallery, which is the result of virtually arranging the work in his space (S37), and if he likes it, he himself, as a buyer (400), sends the purchase of the work to the art gallery providing system (3). It can be requested (S38). The art gallery providing system 3 performs purchase processing such as payment for the purchase request of the buyer 400 (S39), and limits the fee of the art gallery providing system 3 among the sales price to the buyer 400. The sales price may be paid to the seller 500 corresponding to the writer.
