When the user terminal requests the use of a content creation tool, the platform server provides UI information to the user terminal. The user terminal displays a content creation environment UI on a display device using the UI information.

The user terminal transmits an input signal for content creation to the platform server, and the platform server generates content based on the input signal. When the content is created, the platform server transmits the content ID to the user terminal. The platform server may issue an NFT for the corresponding content. In this case, the platform server transmits the NFT ID along with the content ID to the user terminal. When the platform server receives a request message from the user terminal to register the completed content in the exchange, the platform server registers the content in the exchange. Although not shown in FIG. 3, at this time, the platform server goes through an information provision consent procedure. The user terminal outputs the consent received from the platform server on the display device of the user terminal, receives the user consent, and transmits it to the platform server.

The platform server can publicize the content registered in the exchange through the platform or sending a separate promotional message.

When receiving a content purchase request from a user terminal (a user requesting to purchase a product from an exchange), the platform server provides a payment service to the user terminal. In the case of NFT-issued content, the platform server registers the transfer of ownership of the NFT-issued content (of the NFT) upon payment. The platform server can obtain a certain commission from the sales amount of the selling account in exchange for providing safe transactions. This fee becomes the revenue of the platform operator. When the platform server receives a transmission request for content for which payment has been completed from the user terminal, the platform server transmits the content to the corresponding user terminal.

Although not shown in FIG. 3, when a user wants to purchase an additional service that cannot be purchased at an exchange among marketing, big data, blockchain, and book production services, an inquiry message can be sent to the platform server through the user terminal.

The user writes content in a delivery service (e.g., e-mail, note, chat window, etc.) through which he can communicate with the provider, and clicks the 'send' button that appears on the screen of the user's terminal. The platform server recognizes the inquiry message or service request message and delivers the contents to the third party server, and the third party server directly or via the platform server transmits and sells related information or services suitable for the message to the user terminal. do.

If there is a manufacturer that is a third party that can provide additional services that cannot be purchased at the exchange provided by the platform server, the platform server may mediate a transaction between the user terminal and the manufacturer server (third party server). When the user and the manufacturer complete the consultation and purchase through the mediation process, the platform server receives the result from the third party server and delivers it to the corresponding user terminal.

On the other hand, when a user purchases a real product (eg, a paper booklet), the platform operator delivers the product to the user after producing the actual product.

When the user exits the metaverse app, the platform server and the user terminal disconnect through the network.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a method of generating content using a metaverse platform server according to an embodiment of the present invention. Content generation method using the metaverse platform server includes steps S210 to S280.

Step S210 is a step of requesting the use of a content creation tool. The user terminal 20 assumes a logged-in state. The user terminal 20 requests the platform server 100 to use the content creation tool.

Step S220 is a UI information providing step. The platform server 100 provides user interface (UI) information about a content production tool to the user terminal 20 .

Step S230 is a step of configuring a content production environment. The user terminal 20 displays a content production environment UI on the display device of the user terminal 20 by using UI information provided from the platform server 100 .

Step S240 is a user input step. When a user performs a content creation task through a content creation environment (UI), the user terminal 20 converts it into an input signal and transmits an input signal for content creation to the platform server 100 . For example, an input signal for item production may be item type setting (necklace), item shape (bead), item color (red), item design (four-leaf clover model inserted in the center), and the like.

Step S250 is a content creation step. The platform server 100 generates content based on the input signal transmitted in step S240.

Step S260 is a content ID transmission step. When the content is created, the platform server 100 assigns a content ID to the content and transmits it to the user terminal. The platform server 100 may issue an NFT for the corresponding content. In this case, the platform server 100 transmits the NFT ID along with the content ID to the user terminal.

Step S270 is a content registration request step. The user terminal 20 may transmit a request message to register the content generated in the platform server 100 to the exchange.

Step S280 is a content registration step. The platform server 100 registers the content generated according to the request message of step S270 to the exchange on the metaverse platform so that it can be checked on the user terminal of another user. At this time, the platform server 100 goes through an information provision agreement procedure with the user terminal 20 . The user terminal 20 outputs the consent form received from the platform server to the display device of the user terminal 20, receives the user consent, and transmits it to the platform server 100. The platform server 100 sends a separate promotion message to the user terminal 20 selected based on a banner in virtual space, a product list of an exchange that can be visited through a virtual space interface, or user data for content registered in the exchange. The content can be promoted through the transmission method.
