Then, embodiments will be described so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention.

1 is a diagram illustrating a face image conversion service system in a play according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a face image conversion service system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a client PC 100 and a person matching server 200 that receive a face image conversion service including a PC camera.

The client PC 100 includes a PC camera 110 attached to a predetermined end. When the client PC 100 wants to receive a face image conversion service in the play, the client PC 100 performs member registration on the person matching server 200 and performs a person matching server ( The face to be photographed is photographed and transmitted to the person matching server 200 according to the photographing control signal provided from 200.

The person matching server 200 may include a member DB 210, an image pro DB unit 220, an image matching unit 230, an image storage unit 240, and a web server 250, from the client PC 100. Receive the registration information and register it, and when there is a request for the face image conversion service from the client PC (100), provides a list of video programs that can be matched to the client PC 100 to select any one, the client PC When the selected video program is input from the image 100, a control signal for capturing various face images of the client is output to display image information of various shapes provided from the client PC 100 and a person matchable image in a play selected by the client. Match with the program and save.

In more detail, the member DB 210 stores the member information of the client input via the web server 250, and the image program DB unit 220 stores various image program information capable of matching the face of the client to the person in the play. Save and store the stored video program list information.

The image matching unit 230 processes the face information of the client input via the web server 230 to the person information of the image program selected by the client.

The image storage unit 240 stores the image program matched by the image matching unit 230.

The web server 250 receives member information from the client PC 100, registers it in the member DB 210, and requests a face image conversion service from the client PC 100 to the image program DB unit 220. Provides a list of programs stored in the client PC 100 to select any one of them, and when a selected video program is input from the client PC 100, by using the PC camera 110 attached to the client PC 100. The control signal is output to capture image information of various face shapes of the client.

In addition, when image information on various face shapes provided from the client PC 100 is input, the image matching unit 230 is provided to the image matching unit 230 to match the face image of the person program that can be matched in the play selected by the client. It checks whether to download the image for the completed program or to store in the library managed by the person matching server 250 and performs the storage operation accordingly.

If the client is requested to store in the library, and the program is stored in the character matching process in the play, it is natural that if the client is requested to play the program.

Hereinafter, the face image conversion service system in the play according to the present invention will be described in detail.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a face image conversion service method in a play according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2, first, member information provided from a client who wants to receive a face image conversion service is registered (step S110). In this case, the registered member information may include a client's name, social security number, ID, password, and the like.

Then, it is checked whether there is a request for the face image conversion service in the play from the client whose member registration is completed (step S115), and if there is a request for the face image conversion service in the play, the person-matched image stored in the image program DB unit 220 is checked. The program list is transmitted to the client PC 100 requesting the service (step S120).

Then, it is checked from the client PC 100 whether there is a selection of a specific video program (step S125). At this time, the selection of a specific video program includes not only a program for which a face is to be replaced, but also a selection of a person in Korea appearing in the program.

If it is checked in step S125 that the selection of a specific video program is selected, a shooting control signal necessary for matching a person in the play is transmitted to the client PC 100 (step S130). The photographing control signal transmitted at this time is a control signal for photographing various faces required for a person appearing in a character matching program, such as a drama, a movie, a documentary, and the like. That is, it may be a control signal that the client requests for the expression of a happy face, an angry face, a crying face, or the like, or may be a control signal that is required for the client side for the front, side, back, and the like according to the angle of the face.

Then, it is checked whether or not to receive the photographed face image (step S135). If no face image is received, it is fed back to step S130 to check whether the face image is received once more, and the photographed face image is received. In step S140, the received face image is matched with a person in the play. Of course, in this case, in order to delete the face part of the person in the play and to naturally synthesize the photographed face transmitted from the client PC 100 in an optimal state, it is necessary to adjust the size or fit the color of the screen appearing in the play. Description is omitted.

Then, the client checks whether there is a download request of the program whose face is replaced by a specific person of the video program (step S145), and if there is a download request, performs a download service of the program on the member side. (Step S150).

If there is no download request in step S145, it is checked whether or not storage is required in the data room (step S155), and if there is a data room download request, the program is stored in the data room (step S160).

In the above, the process for making one's face and one client's face appear in a drama, a movie, a documentary, etc. has been described. However, a plurality of client faces may also appear in the video program.

In addition, if the client can access the Internet online, the program can be enjoyed in real time. If the client cannot watch the program online due to the client's circumstances, register it in the library and download it. You can get it.

According to the present invention described above, it is possible to maximize the kind of educational effect as it can help the client understand the history and the values of the times through the experience in the cyber space, a situation that the client cannot realistically understand through the historical figure. have. For example, members can register as children when they want to use them for educational purposes by quoting historical figures or ancestors. The program can be structured to increase family intimacy.

Although the above has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art will be able to variously modify and change the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the claims below. It will be appreciated.

As described above, according to the present invention, a server computer may receive various characters necessary for drama in a drama, a movie, a documentary, etc. selected by the client, in real time, and the client may give the client a PC camera to give a feeling of drama.

In addition, in the case of a drama or melodramatic drawing of a triangular relationship, friends and lovers are composed of a main role and a supporting role, so that they can maintain a closer relationship with each other.
