Description

The inventive utility model relates to a system of modeling, presentation and functioning of virtual space, including modeling and advertising in new media, such as the Internet. The utility model can be used to learn about the world around different countries and places of the globe, to communicate in the virtual world, to organize a new type of effective advertising and entertainment, to organize business activities by creating, for example, virtual offices, virtual trading floors, hotels, etc. d.

There are known systems for providing virtual space that ensure almost complete immersion of a person in virtual space, in particular, a method and system for representing virtual space to a user (RF patent No. 2106695 of 08/14/96). The system comprises means for displaying images of virtual space, means for generating a signal inducing the direction of the field of view of the user, means for generating signals for images of virtual space, and a unit for constructing a mathematical model of three-dimensional space and the user in this space. The disadvantage of this system is the possibility of immersion in the virtual world with only a certain set of models and not of interest to advertisers and users as visitors and buyers of real stores.

There are various systems for immersing a user in virtual reality (RF patent No. 2120664 dated 05/05/97, No. 2109337 dated 05/06/96) and imitators of human movement in virtual reality space, including a computer and devices for immersion, means for creating virtual space and displaying it to the user, as well as transforming the virtual space in accordance with the real physical movements of the user. They are intended mainly for the entertainment of children and adults and occur only in a certain

simulated virtual model / scene or in the playing field, which is not informative enough, interesting and does not provide commercial and other interests of advertisers and users.

Various computerized advertising systems are known (US patent No. 599912 dated December 12, 1999, US patent No. 5895454 dated April 20, 1999, RF patent No. 2259588 dated September 10, 0101, etc.), including sound and interactivity assigned rich media name, which includes Java banners; Flash Shockwave; Interstitials, Superstitials and pop-ups. Advertising can also be done in the form of multimedia animations, whose objects, called "Shoshkele®" objects, can move across the entire surface of the screen and are located in the external image layer of the application program. The disadvantages of such computer-modeled types of advertising are low information content and attractiveness for users.

The problem solved by the proposed utility model is aimed at creating a unified information, advertising and entertainment system of a new type, accelerating and optimizing various processes of human life.

The technical result is the creation of a single virtual space as a single infrastructure in the form of a mirror of the real world, which allows to reduce the labor, energy and other costs of humanity in the process of labor, business, scientific, entertainment and other real and virtual activities with an increase in the information content and memorability of information and advertising products. The technical result is also the creation of a reliable system of information exchange and communication in the virtual world by organizing virtual workplaces (offices, shops, hotels, cultural and entertainment complexes, etc.) with the possibility of creating a combined image of a real and virtual environment.

The technical result is also an increase in the effectiveness and information content of advertising of both real and virtual goods and services of advertisers.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the server is a group of physical servers working as a single system with the ability, at

of necessity, synchronizing in time and implementing, through special software, the presentation and functioning of a single virtual space, in particular, the virtual space of the globe, as close as possible to the real world, the storage and publication of all virtual models of certain places, infrastructure, virtual workplaces, offices, advertising objects and models of people and vehicles modeled with the possibility of a combined image of real and virtual environment by connecting virtual models with video surveillance systems of real objects, storing and publishing their coordinates, including the coordinates of moving virtual models, user identification data that determine their uniqueness, and the necessary standard specifications. Computers and / or other systems of client users are connected to the server via the Internet or another network using appropriate software that allows modeling virtual objects and virtual workstations and moving around the created virtual world with the ability to interact with other objects of the virtual space to organize real and virtual economic and other activities. One or more own client-user servers that have sufficient resources for modeling can be additionally connected to the server. Client-client computers can be equipped with immersion in virtual reality.

The system is illustrated using figure 1, which shows a block diagram of a system for modeling virtual advertising objects and virtual travels on the planet.

The system is a server 1, including a group of servers 2, 3, ... n, operating as a single system and synchronized with each other in time if necessary. This server 1 implements through the special software and means of forming, transforming the virtual space and displaying it to the user (not shown in the block diagram) the presentation and functioning of a single virtual space, in particular, the virtual space of the globe 4, as close to the real world as possible also storage and publication

virtual models of certain areas 5, 6, 7, ... m, virtual infrastructure objects 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, ... k, virtual workplaces, offices, virtual advertising objects 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 ... d, models of people 18, 19, 20, 21 ... g and vehicles 22,23,24 ... f.

Modeling of the virtual model of the globe 4 is carried out with the maximum approximation to the real world. The utility model can be used to create other common virtual spaces, for example, the planets of both our solar system and other worlds, and the spatial model of the entire Universe, proceeding, inter alia, not from the realities of a particular planet, but guided by the fantasies of customers. One of the conditions for the creation and functioning of the described embodiment of the utility model is the maximum approximation to the real world. It is possible at the request of the client to change only the internal interior of the home or office, outwardly everything should be as it is in the real world. The rules of movement in the virtual world are also most consistent with the rules of behavior of people on earth, and each client has the right, for example, to the inviolability of the home, etc. An exception is movement across state borders. The created virtual space of the globe functions according to its own legal system. A virtual globe system, for example, can include both the traditional foundations of legal systems and institutions of power existing on Earth (for example, governing bodies issuing visas and travel permits in the virtual world, governing bodies governing individual plots, territories), and newly created and introduced in accordance with the development of the entire system. The subjects of civil legislation of the created virtual world can be both individuals and legal entities and other associations of people. The subjects of the virtual world, both real and virtual physical, legal and other associations, have a certain legal capacity (for example, to make transactions, have a current account, etc.) by analogy, as close as possible to the real world.

Server 1 stores and publishes virtual models of certain areas 5, 6, 7, ... m, that is, simulated reliefs of localities, water bodies, forests, parks, and draws streets of settlements.

Server 1 stores and publishes infrastructure objects 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, ... k, including detailed simulated settlements and buildings for various purposes located in them, transport communications, cultural monuments, green spaces, the exterior and interior of offices, apartments, private houses, museums and so on - all that is in reality in the area. Initially, only one locality can be simulated, for example, a certain city in which one of the customers - advertisers is interested, and then work can begin immediately on modeling individual virtual infrastructure objects of the selected city. Simultaneous work can be done on modeling several separate locations of various points of the globe, and individual virtual infrastructure objects of each of these areas.

At the same time, the terrain and the exterior of the infrastructure facilities are modeled by customer users or special centers with the closest possible approximation to real world objects. Virtual models can be built, for example, shops, hotels, beaches. In stores, virtual models of both real and virtual goods, advertising objects 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 ... d can be presented. The owner of a hypermarket, for example, can order one of such special centers to design the interior interior far from the real one, but the building should be constructed at the actual location in the real world and with an exterior as close as possible to the real one. It is possible to make the interior interior combined, with a combination of real interior spaces by connecting with video camera systems or other video surveillance systems, for example, such as a fisheye, and modeling rooms with virtual models of the goods that you want to offer customers at the moment, while the ability to constantly change the assortment of virtual product models.

Modeling of virtual models of people 18, 19, 20, 21 ... g and vehicles 22, 23, 24 ... f can be carried out both by users who advertise their products or travel in the virtual world, or by special centers. Server 1, including physical servers 2, 3, ... n., Stores and publishes the coordinates of people models 18, 19, 20, 21 ... g and tools

22, 23, 24 ... f movements, including the coordinates of moving models, user identities that determine their uniqueness, and the necessary standard specifications that allow third-party software manufacturers to create their own applications for this system. The capabilities of server 1 make it possible to organize real and virtual economic and other activities of humanity in the created single virtual space by creating virtual jobs and providing virtual movements.

A car manufacturer, for example, can order modeling of one or several types of cars offered for sale, and a client-user of the system (potential buyer) can examine it from the outside and sit in it as a virtual object and make a trip on this virtual machine, if the client has the appropriate means of interactive interaction with the virtual world, visual, auditory and tactile perception of the surrounding world is provided. A client user can buy this virtual machine by paying the appropriate amount for it, or order a real machine, or decide on the choice of a specific model of the machine for further purchase in real car centers.

The user can build a virtual office, a shop, an enterprise in the virtual world to be created, the construction of which in the real world requires a lot of financial, time and material costs and, saving time and fuel on the way to the office, without leaving home, sitting at your home computer , can meet, negotiate, create intelligent products, etc. Moreover, if the user has a real office or enterprise, you can connect the virtual model of the object with the video surveillance systems of the real object and carry out management and other activities, meeting with employees and workers, both real and virtual, without leaving home. A visitor to a virtual office, for example, a travel agency, can go into the office and study the advertising materials available in the office, order services using any telecommunication services of both the virtual and the real world, talk to the virtual model of the office employee or call a real employee and chat on based on information received in the virtual world.

The system contains computers and / or other systems of client users 25, 26, ... Q, connected to server 1 via the Internet or another network. One or several own servers 27, 28 client users can be connected to server 1, which has sufficient resources under a separate agreement.

Client-user computers 25, 26, ... Q can be equipped with virtual reality immersion tools (not shown in the flowchart) with the installation of appropriate software that allows modeling of virtual objects, including the possibility of creating a combined image of a real and virtual environment by connecting virtual models with video surveillance systems of real objects (not shown in the diagram).

Clients-users using computers 25, 26, ... Q can move around the created virtual world with the ability to interact with other objects of the virtual space. Movements can be either specially organized in the form of programmed excursions (trips) to reserved and cultural-historical places, museums, etc., or individual. The user enters a certain point of the virtual globe (for example, the city where he actually lives, or the point from which he left last time, etc.), walks or travels in this selected area, then can buy a ticket for a virtual plane and fly to another place in the world by agreement with the server, return home to your apartment or virtual office, relax or work, go to a cafe or casino, chat with other virtual objects (if you wish the latter, of course, as in the real world), go to the store and choose goods or products, order them with home delivery (real, of course), etc. When moving, the user has the opportunity to go to museums, offices, shops, casinos, virtual night clubs, cinemas, restaurants and other infrastructure 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, ... k, choose both real and virtual goods and services and order them using any of the remote sale methods, while the calculation is made from the user's current account within the available funds.

To do this, the user launches a special client program on a computer 25, 26, ... Q or another virtual reality immersion device, connects to the network, for example, via the Internet, and logs on to server 1 by entering certain identification data and data for calculations, e.g. password and PIN. Then the user selects an existing standard visual 3D or 2D object or models his 3D or 2D image with the corresponding attributes, downloads from the server 1 a specific terrain model of the globe selected by him in agreement with server 1 5, 6, 7, ... m, saves it on your computer. Then he selects the initial entry point and, using available means for interactive interaction with virtual reality, moves his virtual object 18, 19, 20, 21 ... g through the selected area on foot or on any existing virtual vehicle 22, 23, 24 ... f.

Means for interactive interaction with virtual reality (not shown in the diagram) can be both traditional (speakers, microphone, headphones), and non-traditional input-output devices, special three-dimensional mice, helmets with video and audio systems and sensors, tactile gloves, joysticks and tracking devices, or other devices and systems for immersing the user in virtual reality. For this virtual space, other equipment can be created that connects to a USB port, for example, for the purpose of integration for use in this virtual system.

When meeting with other virtual objects 19, 20, 21 ... g, the user of virtual object 18, for example, has the ability to communicate with them and their users both by voice and text on the screen, use existing technologies, or develop their own program, which will integrate existing technologies into this program. Moving, the user can buy the appropriate attributes for his 3D or 2D image - items of clothing, shoes, accessories, communications and other personal items. The user can buy virtual clothes, shoes, accessories, communications and other personal items and equip them with their virtual object in order to have their own unique image in the virtual world. The user can inspect virtual models of real goods available for sale in a real store located in a real

the world at this place, and order them with home delivery (using any of the remote sale methods and existing payment systems or create your own payment system in a given model of a virtual globe with virtual advertising, such as a deposit).

Virtual vehicles 22, 23, 24 ... f can be virtual models of cars of various manufacturers, motorcycles, scooters, trains, planes and other types of advertised vehicles, and the user can buy or rent this or that car and carry out further movement of his virtual object in a virtual machine with visual, auditory and tactile perception of the world.

Thus, the system provides an increase in the information content and effectiveness of demonstrating to the potential client both virtual and real goods and services of advertisers, with imitation of visual, auditory and tactile sensations with the possibility of creating within your created virtual globe your own payment system, such as, for example, a deposit.

The inventive system allows you to create a unified infrastructure of virtual space in the form of a mirror of the real world, which allows to reduce the labor, energy and other costs of mankind in the process of economic, entrepreneurial, scientific, entertaining and other real and virtual activities and to increase the information content and memorability of information and advertising products, as well as create a reliable system of information exchange and communication in the virtual world.
