Due to the advancement of graphics software and the improvement of computer performance, the technology of using computer image display products has gradually changed from 2D flat display to 3D stereo display, and from static display to dynamic display.

But the more refined image presentation usually requires more computer resources, and when we want to draw a display model for a product, because the product usually contains multiple components, when we want to show the same product When different components of the material, color, size, etc. of the component have different variables, for example, we want to display the different color (blue, red, green, etc.) variables of a certain component of a certain product, we need to draw more The remaining component graphics of the same display model not only cost labor, the file size of the finished product is usually very large, the computer resources required are also great, and it is not easy to store and transmit.

To be more important, at present, in order to cope with the increasing information, computer information presents a computer information presentation method called a related database, avoiding the use of computer resources, and explaining the simplest form information:

Table I

In Table 1, we need to type in duplicate supplier and supplier calls, which requires more typing time and more storage space.

The storage in the associated database is recorded and stored in Table 2:

Table II

In Table 2, store the unique product information that is not duplicated, and the only non-repeated supplier information, which saves working time by giving each supplier information different and specific supplier code to correlate the two. And the resources required by the computer, this is the principle of the associated database.

Therefore, the present invention intends to use the information presentation mode of the associated database to establish a library for displaying the object graphics of each model, and cooperate with other related databases such as the first database as a method for displaying the surface.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for managing and displaying a immersive model in an associated database, comprising the following steps: A. Decomposing a display model into more than one secondary object graph, each of which has at least one or more graphical graphics. Feature items, each feature item is allowed to have a plurality of different variables; B. respectively, different variables are associated with a specific secondary object graphic, and the specific secondary object graphic is stored in a first object database; C. a database comprising a plurality of fields such that each field of the first database uniquely corresponds to each feature item of the secondary object graphic, and different specific values of each field uniquely correspond to the above features One of the variables in the project; D. causes the display model to be displayed in a display screen, and by changing the specific value of any field in the first database, the corresponding object in the secondary object database has corresponding variables The secondary object graphic is displayed in the display screen instead of the original secondary object graphic.

The above-mentioned step B, which causes different variables to be associated with a specific secondary object pattern, means that different secondary object graphics are drawn in advance, and each object graphic uniquely corresponds to a variable.

The above-mentioned step B is to associate different variables with a specific secondary object pattern, which means that the size of the secondary object pattern is changed correspondingly by changing the value of the variable.

The invention further includes an association step of the special effect database, wherein the special effect database stores the special effect instruction, which outputs an special effect instruction to cause the display model to present a preset special effect picture in the display screen according to the instruction.

The above special effect instructions include a move instruction, a rotation instruction, a transparency instruction, a profile instruction, a stationary instruction, an appearance/disappearance instruction, a disassembly instruction, and a scaling instruction.

The invention further includes an associated step of a background image database for outputting a background image to the display.

The invention further includes an associating step of a video library, wherein the video library stores animation data and sound data for being synchronously output when the display model is displayed in the display image.

The present invention further includes an associated step of an object specification database having feature data values corresponding to the display model for simultaneous output when the display model is displayed in the display.

The invention further includes an association step of an effect database, an association step of a background image database, an association step of a video library, and an association step of an object specification database.

The first database and the secondary object database are disposed on a server, and the display is located at a demand end, and the server and the demand terminal are connected through a network interface such as an internal network or an Internet.

The invention includes the following effects:

1. The method of the invention can establish a visual 3D immersive interactive platform, display product entity appearance and interact with the user to present product multi-information, and at the same time enhance viewers' product awareness and simplify operation procedures.

2.

The establishment of a library of standard components such as libraries can be effectively stored and managed, reducing the duplication of product functions and planning time.

3. The display model is decomposed into multiple secondary object graphics. Each object graphic has the characteristics of “small file”, “single object storage management” and “can be combined to display model”. When a plurality of secondary object graphics are combined into a display model, if the partial display content is changed, it only involves the change of the partial secondary object graphic, and the total number of bits of the change is small, so the result of the change can be fast. Rendering, also very suitable for performing remote display. Accordingly, the first database and the secondary object database of the present invention can be set on a server, and more than one demand terminal can transmit the information provided by the server through the internal network or the Internet to perform online. By browsing and changing the operation of the display model online, the system specification threshold at the demand side can be reduced, and the construction cost of the demand side can be greatly reduced.

And immersive.

In this embodiment, the usage program (A) simultaneously performs the association step of the background picture database (4), thereby synchronously outputting a background picture (41) to the display picture (B) by the background picture database (4). In the present embodiment, for example, the effect of advertising can be used in commercial use by inputting a totem or text representing the user; the usage program (A) simultaneously performs the association of the video library (5) a step of synchronously outputting an animation material (51) to the display screen (B) by the video library (5), and outputting a sound data (52) in the same part, for example, the animation material (51) is a marquee type Introducing user data, which is also commercially advertised, and the sound data (52) can be used to introduce the operation mode of the system of the present invention; the user program (A) simultaneously executes the associated steps of the object specification database (6). The feature data value (61) of the combination pattern (11) should be synchronously outputted by the object specification database (6) to the display screen (B), that is, the feature data. (61), that the locking assembly pattern (11) of the table part specifications.

In addition, as shown in the fourth figure, the application program (A) simultaneously performs the association step of the effect database (3), and the effect database (3) includes special effects instructions, such as a mobile instruction (31), a rotation command (32), a transparency command (33), a profile command (34), a stationary command (35), an appearance/disappear command (36), a disassembly command (37), and a zoom command (38), etc. In the display screen (B), the user (A) can execute the associated step of the special effect database (3) by clicking any of the above instructions, and a preset is presented in the display screen (B). In the special effect screen, for example, in the embodiment, the screw sub-object graphic (111) and the hex nut secondary object graphic (112) of the locking assembly graphic (11) are disassembled by clicking the disassembly command (37). , presenting an illustration of an exploded map.

Referring to FIG. 5 again, more than one alternative secondary object graphic is further included in the secondary object database (1), and the replacement secondary object graphic performs the same steps as the secondary object graphic. In the first database (2) of step C, two different specific values (22) of the field (21) are respectively corresponding to the secondary object graphic and the replacement secondary object graphic, for example, in the embodiment, the locking The hexagonal nut secondary object graphic (112) of the assembly graphic (11) is a primary object graphic, and the square nut secondary object graphic (113) is an alternative secondary object graphic, when the specific defect of the field (21) is changed. The hexagonal nut secondary object graphic (112) in the display screen is changed to a square nut secondary object graphic (113).

Referring to the sixth embodiment of the present invention, the present invention uses the associated database mode to manage the secondary object graphics (112), and decomposes large display graphics (such as buildings, automobiles, plant equipment, etc.) into multiple The secondary object graphic (112), so that the number of bits per object graphic (112) is very small, which is very suitable for network transmission, and the foregoing secondary object database (1), the first database (2) and the rest can be used in the present invention. The database is set at a server (C), and the application (A) is installed at a demand end (D), and the server (C) and the demand terminal (D) are transmitted through an internal network or the Internet. A network interface (E) such as a road is connected, and the display screen (B) is presented at the demand side (D).

Compared with the traditional AUTO CAD or SOLIDWORK 3D image, take a complete car 3D image as an example (including car body, suspension, power, transmission, brake, steering, interior and other parts), the traditional 3D The image file is not created in the form of an associated database. Therefore, when displaying a 3D image file, the size, material, color, etc. of a component of the 3D image file need to be changed, and the software such as AUTO CAD or SOLIDWORK must be redrawn. Therefore, the replacement or change of a component of the 3D image file cannot be performed quickly and in a timely manner. Such a limitation also makes the conventional 3D image file unsuitable for remote display, especially at the remote end for instantaneous replacement of components in the 3D image file. The operation makes the display effect not ideal. As for the case, the large 3D car is decomposed into a plurality of secondary object graphics (112) including the vehicle body, suspension, power, transmission, braking, steering, interior, etc., each time the object graphic (112) is associated with a field. The specific secondary object graphics (112) are suitable for transmission on the network and remote display, and the change or replacement of the secondary object graphics (112) will be faster and more convenient through the architecture of the associated database. Provides an instant, immersive and varied display.
