The present invention relates to an electronic commerce business method using a three-dimensional virtual reality and a computer-readable recording medium containing a program that can implement the same, and more specifically, the service provider is a three-dimensional goods and goods according to the advertiser's request Create and store, enable users who connect to service provider's server using communication network to build community in 3D virtual space, and decorate 3D virtual space and their avatar It is possible to search and extract the products and items of advertisers that can be decorated, and other users who access the constructed 3D space through the communication network to use community information using avatars and purchase the products of advertisers. E-commerce business method using 3D virtual reality to make it possible and to implement it A recording medium with a program readable by a computer contained.

Conventional community sites secure members through the provision of homepages and clubs / clubs and deliver a variety of advertisements in accordance with the propensity to the community. The operator of the community site seeks to generate revenue in the form of encouraging a member to access an e-commerce site or an auction site affiliated with the community site operator.

However, existing community site administrators have been saturated with contents that can provide services to users in the structure of two-dimensional web pages. As a result, existing community site operators have implemented a two-dimensional web page structure in three dimensions, but it has become more difficult to generate revenue through e-commerce due to slow speed, poor implementation of virtual space, and insufficient content development. It also raised doubts about the need for community operation. In addition, e-commerce operators have taken independent measures that do not rely on the existing community, such as event events, mileage grants, price destruction, and massive joint purchases, but there are many limitations to satisfy user needs. There is no alternative to the solution.

In addition, the conventional community site exhibits a problem that the harmony between the community and electronic commerce is not properly achieved. This is because the existing two-dimensional community web page structure, user tools, or user interfaces that allow users to use contents and services are in a limiting situation to induce interest to users.

Therefore, in the conventional community site, there is no vision in the profitability of the membership structure alone, so we are seeking business through the advertising revenue of the affiliate site. It is evolving into a situation that must be firmly established.

In order to solve the problems of the conventional two-dimensional community web page, the site implementing the three-dimensional virtual space is a method of unilaterally providing the user with a community, advertisement or information of a three-dimensional space that has been pre-fabricated and inserted. There is a problem in that the three-dimensional area allocated to the user cannot be decorated to suit his or her taste. Therefore, even if a user secures a community space or a shopping mall space of a three-dimensional space, there is a problem in that his information, goods, and advertisement cannot be produced in a three-dimensional shape included in the three-dimensional virtual space, but must be expressed only in a text format.

In recent years, the rapid growth of the Internet population and the rapid development of information technology are rapidly developing the web-based graphics technology and three-dimensional image technology. In addition, a three-dimensional technique using virtual reality (VR) or virtual reality markup language (VRML) is developing. Here, virtual reality VR or VRML is a three-dimensional implementation method and language developed to virtually describe a three-dimensional world on the Internet, creating a building, an animal, a sculpture, and the like in the cyber space, regardless of reality. This can make you feel as if you are there.

Therefore, by allowing a user to build a community or a shopping mall on a three-dimensional space provided by a service provider on a communication network, and decorating the constructed space and avatar with a three-dimensional embodied product, another user may have already built the three-dimensional space. Efforts have been made to enable community activities or product shopping and purchase in a dimensional space, and the present invention has been devised based on this.

The technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to solve the problems of the conventional community site described above, in order to solve this problem, the service provider to produce and store the goods and goods implemented in the three-dimensional image according to the advertiser's request The user can access the service provider's server using the communication network to edit and manage the community space in the 3D virtual space, search and extract the advertiser's products and products, and extract the advertiser's products. E-commerce business method using 3D virtual reality, which enables users to shop and purchase products by mapping or storing a user's avatar or 3D community space on the user's 3D community space Computer-readable records of programs that can be implemented To provide the body it is an object.
