Description
Embodiments relate to virtual space and real space mapping, and more particularly to techniques for mapping two spaces having different geographic information.
An application based on location awareness aims to provide necessary services at the corresponding location based on the location of the user. For example, there are applications that provide nearby restaurant information or recommend chatting by using nearby person information.
One example of applying these location-based applications to games is Supermono's Rescue Rush. The game uses Google map to create the same virtual map as the Google map around the user's current location, giving the user the feeling of being in the game space. In this case, however, the virtual space adopts the information of the real space as it is and uses 1: 1 mapping, so that the mapping of the real space and the virtual space can not be presented.
According to an aspect of the present invention, in order to solve the above-described problem, a location of a virtual space different from a real world is mapped using a current location information of a mobile application user to give a user a feeling of being present in a virtual space A service method and apparatus can be provided.
A system for providing a location mapping service in a virtual space according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a node setting unit for setting a plurality of first nodes and second nodes in each of a virtual space map and a real space map, A reference point determining unit for determining a first reference point and a second reference point among the first and second nodes and the virtual space map and the real space map into a plurality of regions corresponding to each other, And a controller for mapping the plurality of first nodes and the second nodes included in the corresponding plurality of regions using each vector information based on the reference point.
The reference point determination unit may calculate the number of other nodes adjacent to each of the first nodes and the second nodes, and may determine the node having the largest number of other calculated nodes as the first reference point and the second reference point, Respectively.
Also, the controller may divide the virtual space map and the real space map into four regions with the first reference point and the second reference point as a zero point, respectively, and match the same quadrants among the four regions.
The controller may modify the position of some of the first nodes if the number of the first nodes included in each of the corresponding plurality of regions does not match the number of the second nodes.
If the number of first nodes included in one area of the virtual area map is smaller than the number of second nodes included in one area of the real area map corresponding to the one area, The first node of the shortfall is moved from the other area adjacent to the one area to the one area.
The control unit may determine the first node of the shortage moved to the one area based on how close the first node is located to the one area.
If the number of first nodes included in one area of the virtual area is greater than the number of second nodes included in one area of the real area corresponding to the one area, And moving the excess first node to another area adjacent to the one area.
In addition, the control unit may determine the other area to be an area in which the excessive first node is located closest to the first area.
The control unit may further comprise a display unit, and the control unit controls the display unit to display, on the virtual space map, a positional change of the user on the physical space map based on the mapped first nodes and the second nodes .
The virtual space map and the real space map may be two-dimensional or three-dimensional information.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for providing a location mapping service in a virtual space, comprising: setting a plurality of first nodes and second nodes in each of a virtual space map and a real space map; Determining a first reference point and a second reference point among the first nodes and the second nodes, dividing the virtual space map and the real space map into a plurality of regions corresponding to each other, And mapping the plurality of first nodes and second nodes included in the corresponding plurality of areas by using the vector information of the plurality of first and second nodes.
The step of determining the first reference point and the second reference point may further include calculating the number of other nodes adjacent to each of the first nodes and the second nodes, And determining the node having the largest number as the first reference point and the second reference point, respectively.
The step of dividing the virtual space map and the real space map into a plurality of regions corresponding to each other may include dividing the virtual space map and the real space map into four regions with the first reference point and the second reference point as zero points, And associating mutually identical quadrants among the four regions with each other.
The step of mapping the plurality of first nodes and the second nodes included in the corresponding plurality of areas may include the step of mapping the number of the first nodes included in each of the corresponding plurality of areas to the number of the second nodes And if not, modifying the location of some of the first nodes.
If the number of first nodes included in one area of the virtual area map is smaller than the number of second nodes included in one area of the real area map corresponding to the one area, And moving the first node of the first region from one region adjacent to the one region to the one region.
The shortage of the first node moved to the one area may be determined based on how close the first node is located to the one area.
If the number of first nodes included in one area of the virtual area is greater than the number of second nodes included in one area of the real area corresponding to the one area, And moving the node to another area adjacent to the one area.
Also, the other region may be determined as an area where the excess first node is located closest to the first node.
The method may further include displaying the positional change of the user on the physical space map on the virtual space map based on the mapped first nodes and the second nodes.
In addition, the virtual space map and the real space map may be two-dimensional or three-dimensional information.
According to an aspect of the present invention, by mapping two maps of different characteristics, it is possible to help the user understand the position intuitively without violating the positional compatibility. This is because, as described above, the technique of mapping a geographical location to a virtual space enables a user to further strengthen the feeling of being present in the virtual world in an application such as a location-based mobile game utilizing the virtual world, .

The virtual space map is not a space for actually reading the position but a virtual space information that is mapped to the real space map and used in the program. Referring to FIG. 2A, the North Mediterranean map can be viewed as a virtual area map. In addition, the real space map means a reality map of the geographical location where the user exists. For example, the real space map may be any position on the earth including the location of the user identified by a Google map or the like. The virtual space map may be newly generated space information by a third party such as a user or a developer, or may be used by customizing an existing space. For example, in the former case, it may mean a map of a virtual space created directly by a user or the like, and in the latter case, a northern Mediterranean map may be used as a virtual space map.
In another embodiment, the virtual space and the real space may include three-dimensional and two-dimensional information, and the real space may be modeled and mapped to a specific shape and then mapped to a virtual space.
FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating a method of generating a node in a real space map of a city in a city and setting a range. Since the virtual space map and the real space map must have a certain range, it may be necessary to set the boundary. Thus, in order to determine the range of the limited space, a finite number of nodes can be set on the virtual space map and the real space map. Referring to FIG. 2A, 25 nodes (25 phrases) represent the map of Seoul and 25 maps represent the northern Mediterranean map.
