Virtual world (想想 世界) is living in a computer through 3D video and makes you feel like real world. It is also called an artificial reality, a virtual environment, a synthetic environment, an artificial environment, and so on.

Computer-to-computer interface that makes a particular environment or situation computerized and makes the person who uses it behave as if they are interacting with the actual environment / environment.

Users of the virtual reality world mainly move and communicate through the avatar. Avatars often look like textures, 2D, or 3D, mostly multi-user. Virtual reality games are similar to real life, and sometimes they embody the fantasy world. The virtual reality world follows the laws of reality such as gravity, movement, support, and communication. Communication between users can also be done with text, graphic icons, visual gestures, sounds, or rarely touches or senses. MMORPG is a representative virtual reality based on real-time action and communication. However, virtual reality is not limited to games, but is likely to be used in various ways.

These virtual worlds are developing into a variety of functional virtual worlds that go beyond simple entertainment and social life to real life. Game technology and simulation technology have developed into separate areas, Is being fused.

- Establishment of an integrated identification system that can be extended through integration of ID IDs between disparate object servers through DNS server in open virtual world

- Establishment of a distributed-based repository service that unifies all relevant data such as object, new, and zone used in open virtual worlds.

FIG. 3 is a detailed structure diagram related to a user request and a process of processing the same in the present invention. 3 and 4, the purpose and configuration of the integrated identification system support system will be described.

The purpose of the integrated identification system support system is to implement a user support SW development supporting the registration, modification, storage, deletion, change and update functions of avatar, contents, and location information and to register / (Metadata) definition in the key-value method, and the attribute of the content creator to the attribute of the content to suit the nature of the content In order to define the user's convenience.

The contents and characteristics of the integrated identification system support system are such that the service for registering the identification ID in the construction server connects to any server providing the service of the virtual world that the user wants to use, logs in, And receives the identification code from the code generation (UUID) for issuing the identification ID to the ID generation server.

At this time, the string input by the user is subjected to duplicate checking in order to determine whether or not the same string is identical in the same server, thereby determining the unique distinguished name.

In addition, the accessibility is determined according to the unique distinguished name, and if the response to the user's request is received from the identification system server that the unique value does not exist, the data of the user can not be retrieved.

After validation, all relevant data is stored in each repository through a UUID issued from the ID server, and this UUID is used as the index value of the repository. Thus, even if the heterogeneous open-ended virtual world, all the data can be managed in a single repository through the unique ID of the identification system, thus increasing the efficiency of the system.

5 is a diagram illustrating a relationship between a distributed processing system and a repository service for the integrated identification system service of the present invention. 5, the integrated identification system and the repository and the data distribution processing relation using the same can be defined.

All the data can be collectively managed in the repository server through the specific ID given from each identification system. At this point, however, the data is confronted with the systematic difficulty that a large number of data have to be processed at once according to the characteristics of the heterogeneous user open virtual world.

In order to efficiently process the system and lower the system cost, the present invention introduces a distributed processing system between the identification system and the repository, and divides and manages the systems for each category. Accordingly, a system capable of sequentially processing the data is an identification system management service, in which each data is stored and processed in a distributed manner. As a result, users can access data on the system at high speed.

7 is a structure diagram of a repository service applied to the present invention. This can explain the distributed processing structure.

To use the repository services seamlessly, each granular data is quickly stored via a non-relational database management system (DBMS). To make this faster, the Web service acts as a buffer for it, allowing the user to quickly access the database and process the data.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. It is therefore to be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing detailed description, and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and the equivalents thereof are included in the scope of the present invention Should be interpreted.
