Meanwhile, the virtual space creation unit 120 can set a restricted area in the metaverse virtual space and enable access to the restricted area only for virtual objects for which access authentication to the restricted area has been approved.

For example, in the Metaverse virtual space that implements the exhibition space, a restricted area that provides compensation for viewing the exhibition is set and an event is created that allows access to the restricted area only to virtual objects that have visited the entire exhibition space. can do.

The virtual space creation unit 120 can calculate an access authentication score to determine whether to authenticate access using Equation 2 below.

[Equation 2]

In Equation 2, A _u is the access authentication score of virtual object u, A ₀ is the number of accesses to the metaverse virtual space of virtual object u, d _u is the average moving distance per minute in the metaverse virtual space of virtual object u, and d _us is The variance of the distance traveled per minute in the metaverse virtual space of virtual object u, t _u is the time used by virtual object u in the metaverse virtual space, and t ₀ is the average use time of all virtual objects using the metaverse virtual space.

For example, if A ₀ =1, d _u =233.3, d _us =222.22, t _u =30, t ₀ =20, It can be calculated as According to Equation 2, even if the measured value of the moving distance varies depending on the movement of the virtual object, calculations including the average value and variance during the measurement period are simultaneously reflected, and the average value for all users is also reflected to determine other Comparison values with the user can be used.

The virtual space creation unit 120 may set access to the restricted area to be possible when the access authentication score of a specific virtual object is higher than the average of the access authentication scores of all virtual objects calculated in real time.

Meanwhile, the web page linking unit 130 may receive web linking information from participating companies, analyze the web linking information, and create interaction icons with different shapes and sizes.

Web linkage information may include the address of the web page, categories representing web page functions such as payment and information provision, and survey values provided by participants regarding the importance of web page linkage.

The web page linking unit 130 can calculate the interaction icon identification score by applying the web linking information to Equation 3 below.

[Equation 3]

In Equation 3, C _w is the interaction icon identification score, C ₀ is the interaction icon standard score, a _w is the survey value provided by the participant regarding the importance of web page integration, and is set to one of 1 to 5 depending on the importance, and q _w refers to the category weight and p _w refers to the spatial weight.

Here, the survey value is set to a higher value of 1 to 5 as the importance increases, and the category weight reflects the function of the web page, for example, 2 if it has a payment function, and 2 if it has the function of providing simple information. Case can be set to 1, and the space weight reflects the concept of the metaverse space, for example, can be set to 1 if it has the function of an exhibition space, and 2 if it has the function of a conference space.

For example, if C ₀ =10, a _w =5, q _w =2, p _w =1, It can be calculated as =250.

The web page linking unit 130 can store a table matching the size and shape of the interaction icon for each section of the interaction icon identification score, and generates an interaction icon with a size and shape that matches the identification score of the interaction icon, thereby creating a meta It matches the concept of the bus space while allowing it to function according to the need for web integration.
