The advantages and features of the present invention and methods for achieving them will become clear by referring to the embodiments described in detail below along with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below and may be implemented in various different forms. The present embodiments are merely provided to ensure that the disclosure of the present invention is complete and to be understood by those skilled in the art. It is provided to fully inform those who have the scope of the invention, and the present invention is only defined by the scope of the claims.

In describing embodiments of the present invention, if a detailed description of a known function or configuration is judged to unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description will be omitted. The terms described below are terms defined in consideration of functions in the embodiments of the present invention, and may vary depending on the intention or custom of the user or operator. Therefore, the definition should be made based on the contents throughout this specification.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

1 is a block diagram of an avatar creation device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the avatar creation device 100 may include an input/output module 110, a processor 120, and a memory 130.

Accordingly, when a plurality of different genetic information is input through the input/output module 110, the processor 120 can generate another genetic information by breeding the plurality of input genetic information.

Here, the genetic information may include the genotype of alleles for each of a plurality of preset traits. For example, the multiple traits may include at least one of hair color, hair type, skin hair type, eye color, skin color, alcohol breakdown ability, sexual orientation, lifespan, birth weight, muscle mass, and height.

In other words, genetic information can be understood as containing information that distinguishes different living things, such as people, animals, and plants. At this time, an allele may be a pair of components that determine the expression of each trait.

For example, when genetic information includes a genotype for hair color, the component that may be included in the allele may be at least one of black, brown, red, and yellow.

At this time, the genetic information may include a dominant-recessive relationship for each component. Additionally, the genetic information may further include information about the amount of cells containing each component. Here, the amount of cells may be a ratio for each of two or more genotypes involved in determining any one trait.

For example, if the genetic information includes genotypes for black eumelanin and brown eumelanin, which are involved in hair color, then black eumelanin and brown eumelanin are present in the organism's cells, respectively. Additional information about the rate may be included. Through this, hair color can be expressed as brown close to black and black close to brown, in addition to black and brown.

In other words, genetic information may have been created to distinguish the external appearance of living things.

Meanwhile, genetic information generated by breeding multiple genetic information may be generated by extracting each component of an allele for each trait from multiple different genetic information.

For example, genetic information generated by breeding multiple genetic information includes Rr as a genotype in the first genetic information, which is one of the multiple genetic information, and Rr is included as the genotype in the second genetic information, which is the other piece of genetic information. , RR, Rr, rR and rr may be included.

Here, RR is where R is extracted from the first genetic information and R is extracted from the second genetic information, Rr is where R is extracted from the first genetic information and r is extracted from the second genetic information, and rR may be where r is extracted from the first genetic information and R is extracted from the second genetic information, and rr may be where r is extracted from the first genetic information and r is extracted from the second genetic information.

At this time, Rr and rR can be expressed identically as Rr or rR in genetic information.

In other words, genetic information generated by breeding multiple pieces of genetic information may be created by recombining multiple pieces of different genetic information.

For example, when first genetic information included in a pre-generated first token and second genetic information included in a pre-generated second token are input, the processor 120 processes the first genetic information and the second genetic information. Third genetic information can be generated by breeding.

Meanwhile, the processor 120 may receive a pre-generated token as input through the input/output module 110. In this case, the processor 120 may extract genetic information included in the input token.

At this time, the token may be generated by minting genetic information. In other words, the token is a non-fungible token (NFT), distributed based on blockchain technology, and unique information may be set for each token so that it cannot be replaced with another token.

Such tokens may be generated using various conventionally known blockchain technologies. For example, a token is created when a transaction is created for at least one of genetic information and data about the user who owns the genetic information, and is created using the transaction and the unique information of the most recently created block on the blockchain network. It can be a block. In this case, the token may be verified through comparison of the unique information about the previous block included in the block and the unique information of the block created immediately before.

In this regard, in one embodiment, the token may be generated by inputting genetic information for a user pre-registered in the blockchain network and minting the user information of the user and the input genetic information.

In another embodiment, a token may be created by inputting user information and genetic information into a blockchain network, including genetic information in the user information, and minting the user information including the genetic information.

In another embodiment, the token may be created by inputting user information and genetic information into the blockchain network, including the user information in the genetic information, and minting the genetic information including the user information.

Accordingly, in one embodiment, when the pre-generated first token is input, the processor 120 extracts the first genetic information included in the first token, and when the pre-generated second token is input, the processor 120 extracts the first genetic information included in the first token. The second genetic information included in can be extracted.

Meanwhile, the token may include usage rights information for genetic information. At this time, the usage rights information may include at least one of the available period for the genetic information and the available number of breedings.

Here, the available period may be the period during which breeding can be performed using genetic information, and the available number of breeding times may be the number of times breeding can be performed using genetic information.

In other words, the usage rights information may be information about the right to perform breeding using genetic information.

Accordingly, the processor 120 receives a request for a usage right for at least one of the plurality of genetic information registered in the blockchain network from the user through the input/output module 110, and blocks the genetic information or token corresponding to the requested usage right. It can be obtained from the chain network.

The processor 120 can create an avatar using genetic information. Here, the avatar may represent a trait expressed from genetic information. To this end, the avatar may display a region corresponding to the trait expressed by genetic information. For example, when hair color is expressed by genetic information, an avatar may be created to express hair and a color corresponding to the hair color.

At this time, the avatar may be a 3-dimensional model or a 2-dimensional model. That is, the avatar may be an object rendered through the processor 120. Through this, the processor 120 can create an avatar to correspond to the genotype included in the genetic information.

In this regard, in one embodiment, an avatar may be an object created to be recognized in a virtual space, such as a virtual and augmented reality system or a metaverse.

Meanwhile, the memory 130 may store the avatar creation program 200 and information necessary for execution of the avatar creation program 200.

In this specification, the avatar creation program 200 may refer to software that includes commands programmed to breed the input genetic information when different genetic information is input and create an avatar using the genetic information.

Accordingly, the processor 120 may load the avatar creation program 200 and information necessary for execution of the avatar creation program 200 from the memory 130 in order to execute the avatar creation program 200.

Meanwhile, the functions and/or operations of the avatar creation program 200 will be examined in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram conceptually showing an embodiment of the avatar creation program of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the avatar creation program 200 may include an extraction unit 210, a combination unit 230, and a creation unit 250.

The extraction unit 210, combination unit 230, and creation unit 250 shown in FIG. 2 conceptually divide the functions of the avatar creation program 200 in order to easily explain the functions of the avatar creation program 200. It is not limited to this. Depending on the embodiment, the functions of the extraction unit 210, combination unit 230, and generation unit 250 may be merged/separated and may be implemented as a series of instructions included in one program.

The extraction unit 210 may extract the first component from the first genetic information and extract the second component corresponding to the first component from the second genetic information.

At this time, the extraction unit 210, as the first component, can extract at least one component among a plurality of components for each of a plurality of genotypes included in the first genetic information.

Additionally, the extraction unit 210 is a second component and can extract at least one component among a plurality of components for each of a plurality of genotypes included in the second genetic information.

In this regard, in the process of extracting each component from genetic information, the extraction unit 210 may extract each component based on a preset probability for each genotype. At this time, the preset probability may be the probability that one of the component pairs included in each allele will be inherited in the next generation.

Accordingly, the combination unit 230 can generate third genetic information by breeding the first genetic information and the second genetic information. At this time, the combination unit 230 may generate third genetic information by combining the first component extracted from the first genetic information and the second component extracted from the second genetic information.

Accordingly, the third genetic information may include the first component and the second component.

Through this, the types of multiple traits expressed by each of the first genetic information, second genetic information, and third genetic information may be the same.

That is, according to one embodiment, when each of the first genetic information and the second genetic information includes genotypes for hair color, hair type, skin hair type, eye color, and skin color, hair is also included in the third genetic information. Genotypes for color, hair type, skin hair type, eye color, and skin color may be included.

The generator 250 may create an avatar using third genetic information.

Meanwhile, the generator 250 may generate an avatar using either first genetic information or second genetic information.

Referring to FIG. 3, first genetic information included in a pre-generated first token and second genetic information included in a pre-generated second token may be input to the processor 120 (S100).

Accordingly, the processor 120 may generate third genetic information by breeding the first genetic information and the second genetic information (S200).

Through this, the processor 120 can create an avatar using the third genetic information (S300).

FIG. 4 is a detailed flowchart of the step of generating the third genetic information of FIG. 3.

Referring to FIG. 4, the processor 120 may extract the first component from the first genetic information (S210).

Additionally, the processor 120 may extract a second component corresponding to the first component from the second genetic information (S230).

Accordingly, the processor 120 may generate third genetic information by combining the first component and the second component (S250).

Figures 5 and 6 are flowcharts showing an example of a process for generating a token containing genetic information.

Referring to Figure 5, in one embodiment, when genetic information for a user pre-registered in the blockchain network is input (S10a), the token may be created by minting the user's user information and the input genetic information. (S30a).
