Description

증강현실 콘텐츠 출력 장치Augmented reality content output device
본 발명은 증강현실 콘텐츠 출력 장치에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 제공되는 증강현실 콘텐츠에 공간감을 더할 수 있는 증강현실 콘텐츠 출력 장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an augmented reality content output device, and more specifically, to an augmented reality content output device that can add a sense of space to provided augmented reality content.
가상현실(VR, Virtual Reality)은 어떤 특정한 환경이나 상황을 컴퓨터로 만들어서, 그것을 사용하는 사람이 마치 실제 주변 상황 또는, 환경과 상호작용을 하고 있는 것처럼 만들어 주는 인간-컴퓨터 사이의 인터페이스를 말한다.Virtual Reality (VR) refers to a human-computer interface that creates a specific environment or situation with a computer, making it as if the person using it is interacting with the actual surrounding situation or environment.
증강현실(AR, Augmented Reality)은 사용자가 눈으로 보는 현실세계에 가상 물체를 겹쳐 보여주는 기술이다. 현실세계에 실시간으로 부가정보를 갖는 가상세계를 합쳐 하나의 영상으로 보여주므로 혼합현실(MR, Mixed Reality)라고도 한다.Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that superimposes virtual objects on the real world that the user sees. It is also called mixed reality (MR) because it combines the real world with a virtual world with additional information in real time and displays it as a single image.
다양한 증강현실 콘텐츠가 제공되고 있으나, 통상적으로 증강현실 콘텐츠의 기본 배경에 사용자에 대응되는 캐릭터 또는, 실시간으로 입력되는 사용자 외형을 하나의 객체로 포함하여, 증강현실 콘텐츠를 생성하고 있다.Although a variety of augmented reality content is provided, augmented reality content is usually created by including a character corresponding to the user or a user's appearance input in real time as an object in the basic background of the augmented reality content.
즉, 실시간으로 입력되는 사용자의 외형 정보에 따라, 증강현실 콘텐츠 내에서의 사용자에 해당하는 객체의 움직임 제어는 가능하지만, 사용자에 해당하는 객체의 움직임에 따라 증강현실 콘텐츠 배경의 화각 또는, 증강현실 콘텐츠 내 포함되어 있는 객체의 화각이 변화가 나타나지 않기 때문에, 제공되는 증강현실 콘텐츠의 동질감이 낮은 문제점이 있다.In other words, it is possible to control the movement of the object corresponding to the user within the augmented reality content according to the user's appearance information input in real time, but depending on the movement of the object corresponding to the user, the angle of view of the background of the augmented reality content or the angle of view of the background of the augmented reality content is possible. Since the angle of view of objects included in the content does not appear to change, there is a problem in that the provided augmented reality content has a low level of homogeneity.
뿐만 아니라, 동질감을 높혀서 증강현실 콘텐츠를 제공한다 할지라도, 디스플레이 수단을 통해서 제공되는 그 자체가 이질감이 극대화된 채로 제공되는 것이기 때문에, 낮은 공감감과 낮은 동질감으로 인해, 사용자들의 참여도가 낮아지는 문제점이 있다.In addition, even if augmented reality content is provided by increasing the sense of homogeneity, it is provided through the display means with the sense of heterogeneity maximized, so the problem is that users' participation is lowered due to low empathy and low homogeneity. There is.
이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위하여, 증강현실 콘텐츠 출력 장치는 디스플레이 수단의 전면부에 별도의 접속수단을 통해서, 사용자가 직접적으로 디스플레이 수단의 전체를 인지할 수 없도록 하여, 증강현실 콘텐츠의 공간감을 더할 수 있으며, 사용자의 키 정보를 전달받아, 사용자에게 보여지는 증강현실 콘텐츠의 화각(view point)를 제어함으로써, 증강현실 콘텐츠의 동질감을 향상시킬 수 있다.In order to overcome this problem, the augmented reality content output device uses a separate connection means on the front part of the display means so that the user cannot directly perceive the entire display means, thereby adding to the sense of space of the augmented reality content. , By receiving the user's key information and controlling the view point of the augmented reality content shown to the user, the sense of homogeneity of the augmented reality content can be improved.

이를 통해서, 예를 들자면, 증강현실 콘텐츠 제공 서비스를 원하는 사용자가 증강현실 콘텐츠 제공 서비스의 접속을 위해, 상기 제1 문짝을 개방할 경우, 상기 센서는 상기 제1 문짝의 개방을 감지하여, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)으로 감지 신호를 전송하게 된다. 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 상기 감지 신호가 수신되면 미리 저장되어 있는 증강현실 콘텐츠를 상기 디스플레이 수단(200)으로 전송하여, 상기 디스플레이 수단(200)을 통해서 출력되게 된다. 이 때, 상기 디스플레이 수단(200)으로 전송되는 상기 증강현실 콘텐츠는 사용자가 선택 입력하게 되며, 이에 대해서는 자세히 후술하도록 한다.Through this, for example, when a user who wants an augmented reality content provision service opens the first door to access the augmented reality content provision service, the sensor detects the opening of the first door, and the content A detection signal is transmitted to the control means 300. When the detection signal is received, the content control means 300 transmits the pre-stored augmented reality content to the display means 200 and outputs it through the display means 200. At this time, the augmented reality content transmitted to the display means 200 is selected and input by the user, which will be described in detail later.
이 역시도, ‘창문’으로 설명하자면, 문틀에 구비된 센서를 통해서, 개폐가 가능한 창문의 개방 여부를 감지하게 된다. 이와 같이, 후술할 문 형상의 적용 예를 창문 형상에도 적용 가능하다.Again, if we explain this in terms of a ‘window’, the sensor installed in the door frame detects whether the window that can be opened or closed is open or not. In this way, the application example of the door shape, which will be described later, can also be applied to the window shape.
또다른 예를 들자면, 증강현실 콘텐츠 제공 서비스를 원하는 A 사용자가 증강현실 콘텐츠 제공 서비스의 접속하여 원거리에 위치하고 있는 B 사용자와의 화상 통화 기능을 제공받기 위해, 상기 제1 문짝을 개방할 경우, 상기 센서는 상기 제1 문짝의 개방을 감지하여, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)으로 감지 신호를 전송하게 된다. 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 상기 감지 신호가 수신되면 미리 저장되어 있는 증강현실 콘텐츠 중 화상 통화 기능을 제공하는 콘텐츠를 선택하여 상기 디스플레이 수단(200)으로 전송하고, 상기 디스플레이 수단(200)은 이를 출력하게 된다. 이 때, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 증강현실 콘텐츠 제공 서비스를 통해서 연결되어 있는 B 사용자에게 A 사용자가 화상 통화 기능을 원한다는 것을 알리기 위해, B 사용자가 위치하고 있는 접속 수단(100)에 별도로 구비되어 있는 차임 벨이 동작하도록 제어 신호를 생성하게 된다. 이 후, B 사용자가 차임 벨을 인지하고 제1 문짝을 개방할 경우, 상기 센서는 상기 제1 문짝의 개방을 감지하여, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)으로 감지 신호를 전송하고, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 A 사용자와 화상 통화 기능을 제공하는 콘텐츠를 상기 디스플레이 수단(200)으로 전송하게 된다.As another example, when user A who wants an augmented reality content provision service opens the first door to access the augmented reality content provision service and receive a video call function with user B located at a distance, The sensor detects the opening of the first door and transmits a detection signal to the content control means 300. When the detection signal is received, the content control means 300 selects content providing a video call function from pre-stored augmented reality content and transmits it to the display means 200, and the display means 200 selects content providing a video call function. It will be printed. At this time, the content control means 300 is separately provided in the connection means 100 where user B is located in order to inform user B, who is connected through the augmented reality content providing service, that user A wants a video call function. A control signal is generated to operate the chime bell. Afterwards, when user B recognizes the chime bell and opens the first door, the sensor detects the opening of the first door and transmits a detection signal to the content control means 300, and the content control means 300 transmits content providing a video call function with user A to the display means 200.
이 때, 상기 제1 문짝과 제2 문짝은 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이, 상기 문틀을 기준으로 y축 방향의 동일한 높이를 갖고, 상기 문틀을 기준으로 x축 방향의 상이한 길이를 갖게 된다. 또한, 상기 제1 문짝의 x축 방향의 길이가 상기 제2 문짝의 x축 방향의 길이보다 긴 것이 바람직하다. 즉, 개방이 가능한 제1 문짝이 개방이 불가능한 제2 문짝보다 더 넓도록 형성되어, 사용자가 증강현실 콘텐츠 제공 서비스의 접속을 위해 제1 문짝을 개방할 경우, 보다 좁은 제2 문짝은 문틀에 고정된 채 폐쇄되어 있으므로, 상기 디스플레이 수단(200)을 바라보는 사용자의 일부 시야가 가려지도록 구성되는 것이 바람직하다. 이를 통해서, 사용자가 실제 문 너머로 다른 사용자 또는, 다른 위치에 대한 증강현실 콘텐츠의 공간감, 몰입감을 향상시킬 수 있다.At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the first door leaf and the second door leaf have the same height in the y-axis direction with respect to the door frame, and have different lengths in the x-axis direction with respect to the door frame. Additionally, it is preferable that the length of the first door panel in the x-axis direction is longer than the length of the second door panel in the x-axis direction. That is, the first door that can be opened is formed to be wider than the second door that cannot be opened, and when the user opens the first door to access the augmented reality content providing service, the narrower second door is fixed to the door frame. Since it is closed, it is preferably configured to block a portion of the user's view looking at the display means 200. Through this, users can improve the sense of space and immersion of augmented reality content for other users or other locations beyond the actual door.
더불어, 일부 시야가 가려진 채 제공되는 증강현실 콘텐츠의 공간감, 몰입감을 더욱 더 향상시키기 위하여, 도 2의 a)에 도시된 바와 같이, 각 문짝마다 소정 개의 투명 창이 포함되는 것이 바람직하며, 전체 길이(y축 방향의 높이)를 기준으로 투명 창의 개수, 투명 창의 높이, 너비 등을 제어하여 포함시킬 수 있으며, 이러한 제어 파라미터들은 일부 시야가 가려진 채 제공되는 증강현실 콘텐츠의 공간감, 몰입감을 극대화 시키기 위한 제어값에 해당한다. 그렇기 때문에, 상술한 바와 같이, 상기 디스플레이 수단(200)과 상기 접속 수단(100)의 크기, 그리고 사용자의 위치 등을 고려하여 제어되며, 이에 대해서 한정하는 것은 아니다.In addition, in order to further improve the sense of space and immersion of augmented reality content provided with part of the view obscured, as shown in a) of Figure 2, it is preferable that each door panel includes a predetermined number of transparent windows, and the total length ( The number of transparent windows, the height and width of transparent windows, etc. can be controlled and included based on the height in the y-axis direction, and these control parameters are used to maximize the sense of space and immersion of augmented reality content provided with the view partially obscured. Corresponds to the value. Therefore, as described above, it is controlled in consideration of the size of the display unit 200 and the connection unit 100, the user's location, etc., and is not limited thereto.
상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 ‘영상 처리 장치’로서, 상술한 바와 같이, 상기 접속 수단(100)의 입력 신호와 함께 입력되는 사용자 관련 정보를 이용하여, 상기 정보들에 맞게 미리 저장되어 있는 증강현실 콘텐츠를 제어하여, 상기 디스플레이 수단(200)으로 전송하게 된다. 이 때, 상기 입력 신호로는 상기 감지 신호, 사용자로부터 입력되는 원하는 콘텐츠 입력 정보(다른 사용자와의 연결 콘텐츠, 특정 장소에 대한 실시간 시청 콘텐츠, 가상 공간 접속 콘텐츠 등) 등을 포함하여 구성되게 된다. The content control means 300 is an 'image processing device', and as described above, uses user-related information input together with the input signal of the connection means 100, and augments information previously stored in accordance with the information. Real content is controlled and transmitted to the display means (200). At this time, the input signal includes the detection signal and desired content input information input from the user (connected content with other users, real-time viewing content for a specific location, virtual space access content, etc.).
상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 상기 접속 수단(100)으로부터 전송받은 상기 사용자 관련 정보를 고려하여, 상기 증강현실 콘텐츠를 보정, 다시 말하자면, 상기 증강현실 콘텐츠 영상 처리를 수행하여, 상기 디스플레이 수단(200)으로 전송하는 것이 바람직하다.The content control means 300 takes into account the user-related information transmitted from the access means 100, corrects the augmented reality content, in other words, performs image processing of the augmented reality content, and displays the display means 200. ) is desirable to transmit.
이를 위해, 상기 접속 수단(100)은 상기 제1 문짝의 개방을 감지하는 센서를 통해서 사용자의 키 정보를 획득하는 것이 바람직하며, 상기 제1 문짝의 개방을 감지하는 센서 외에 추가적으로 키 정보를 획득하기 위한 센서(일 예를 들자면, 적외선 센서)를 상기 문틀에 더 구비하는 것이 바람직하다.For this purpose, the connection means 100 preferably acquires the user's key information through a sensor that detects the opening of the first door, and acquires key information in addition to the sensor that detects the opening of the first door. It is desirable to further include a sensor (for example, an infrared sensor) on the door frame.
상기 접속 수단(100)은 키 센싱 정보를 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)으로 전송하고, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 상기 키 센싱 정보를 이용하여 사용자의 키 정보를 예측 연산하게 된다.The access means 100 transmits key sensing information to the content control means 300, and the content control means 300 uses the key sensing information to predict and calculate the user's key information.
상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 예측 연산한 상기 사용자의 키 정보를 이용하여 상기 접속 수단(100)에 구비되어 있는 카메라를 제어, 다시 말하자면, 사용자를 촬영하고자 하는 주 카메라의 상태를 제어하는 것이 바람직하다.The content control means 300 preferably controls the camera provided in the access means 100 using the predicted key information of the user, in other words, controls the state of the main camera for capturing the user. do.
상기 접속 수단(100)에 동일 선상이면서 설치 높이가 서로 상이한 둘 이상의 카메라가 구비될 경우, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 예측 연산한 상기 사용자의 키 정보를 이용하여 사용자를 촬영하는 주 카메라를 설정하는 것이 바람직하다.When the connection means 100 is equipped with two or more cameras that are on the same line but have different installation heights, the content control means 300 sets the main camera for capturing the user using the predicted key information of the user. It is desirable to do so.
상세하게는, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 상기 사용자의 키 정보를 토대로 사용자의 시점(view point) 높이에 근접하게 설치된 카메라를 선택하여, 사용자를 촬영하는 주 카메라로 설정하는 것이 바람직하다.In detail, it is preferable that the content control means 300 select a camera installed close to the height of the user's viewpoint based on the user's key information and set it as the main camera for photographing the user.
또한, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 상기 접속 수단(100)에 하나의 카메라가 구비될 경우, 예측 연산한 상기 사용자의 키 정보를 이용하여 사용자 촬영을 위한 카메라의 설치 높이를 제어하는 것이 바람직하다.In addition, when the connection means 100 is equipped with one camera, the content control means 300 preferably controls the installation height of the camera for user photography using the predicted height information of the user. .
상세하게는, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 상기 사용자의 키 정보를 토대로 사용자의 시점 높이에 일치하도록 카메라의 고정 높이를 설정하여, 설치되도록 제어하는 것이 바람직하다. 물론, 이 경우, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)의 제어 신호에 의해 동작되어, 상기 카메라의 설치 높이를 제어하기 위한 모터, 이송 수단 등이 상기 접속 수단(100)에 구비되는 것이 당연하다.In detail, the content control means 300 preferably sets the fixed height of the camera to match the height of the user's viewpoint based on the user's height information and controls the camera to be installed. Of course, in this case, it is natural that the connection means 100 is equipped with a motor, a transfer means, etc., which are operated by a control signal from the content control means 300 and control the installation height of the camera.
이 때, 상기 접속 수단(100)은 도 2의 b)에 도시된 바와 같이, 문틀 일측(측면)에, 전면부에 위치하게 되는 사용자의 조작에 의한 입력 신호가 입력되는 버튼 형태의 제1 입력수단을 더 구비하는 것이 바람직하다.At this time, as shown in b) of FIG. 2, the connection means 100 is located on one side (side) of the door frame, and is a first input in the form of a button through which an input signal manipulated by the user is input. It is desirable to have more means.
상기 제1 입력수단의 조작을 통해서, 사용자는 원하는 증강현실 콘텐츠 종류, 형태 등을 입력하는 것이 바람직하다.It is desirable for the user to input the desired type and form of augmented reality content through manipulation of the first input means.
일 예를 들자면, 현재 위치하고 있는 장소와는 다른 장소(풍경)의 실시간 영상이 제공되는 콘텐츠, 현재 위치하고 있는 장소와 다른 장소에서 증강현실 콘텐츠 제공 서비스를 제공받고 있는 다른 사용자와 동시에 동일 제공되는 콘텐츠, 원거리 위치하고 있는 다른 사용자와 화상 통화 기능을 제공하는 콘텐츠 등, 사용자가 원하는 증강현실 콘텐츠 종류, 형태 등을 상기 제1 입력수단을 통해서 입력하고, 상기 접속 수단(100)은 이를 입력받아 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)로 전송하는 것이 바람직하다.For example, content that provides real-time images of a location (landscape) different from the current location, content that is provided simultaneously with other users who are receiving augmented reality content provision services in a location different from the current location, The user inputs the type and form of augmented reality content desired, such as content that provides a video call function with another user located at a distance, through the first input means, and the connection means 100 receives the input and the content control means. It is preferable to send it to (300).
이 때, 상기 제1 입력수단의 조작을 통해서, 원거리 위치하고 있는 다른 사용자와 화상 통화 기능을 제공하는 콘텐츠가 입력될 경우, 다시 말하자면, 주변 풍경이 필요하지 않은 콘텐츠를 선택할 경우, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 사용자의 배경 선택을 활성화시킬 수 있다.At this time, when content that provides a video call function with another user located at a distance is input through manipulation of the first input means, in other words, when content that does not require surrounding scenery is selected, the content control means ( 300) can activate the user's background selection.
이를 위해, 상기 접속 수단(100)은 문틀 일측에, 전면부에 위치하게 되는 사용자의 조작에 의한 입력 신호가 입력되는 버튼 형태의 제2 입력수단을 더 구비하게 되며, 상기 제2 입력수단은 상기 제1 입력수단의 조작에 의해 미리 설정된 특정 종류의 증강현실 콘텐츠가 선택될 경우, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)에서 상기 제2 입력수단에 의한 입력신호를 유효한 입력신호로 활용하게 된다.To this end, the connection means 100 is further provided with a second input means in the form of a button located on one side of the door frame and on the front side through which an input signal manipulated by the user is input. The second input means is When a specific type of augmented reality content preset is selected by manipulating the first input means, the content control means 300 utilizes the input signal from the second input means as a valid input signal.
이를 통해서, 사용자가 현재 위치하고 있는 배경이 아닌 원하는 배경으로 선택한 채로 화상 통화 기능을 제공하는 콘텐츠를 제공받을 수도 있다.Through this, the user can be provided with content that provides a video call function while selecting a desired background rather than the background where the user is currently located.
당연히, 입력 신호를 입력한 사용자의 배경이 변경되는 것이 바람직하나, 경우에 따라 서로의 배경을 변경 또는, 둘 이상의 사용자 모두의 배경을 변경시킬 수도 있으며, 이에 대해서 한정하는 것은 아니다.Of course, it is desirable for the background of the user who input the input signal to be changed, but in some cases, the backgrounds of each other or the backgrounds of two or more users may be changed, but this is not limited.
이 때, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 예측 연산한 사용자의 키 정보를 이용하여 사용자의 시점 높이를 예측하고, 예측한 시점 높이를 토대로 상기 증강현실 콘텐츠의 화각을 보정하는 것이 바람직하다.At this time, the content control means 300 preferably predicts the height of the user's viewpoint using the predicted height information of the user and corrects the angle of view of the augmented reality content based on the height of the predicted viewpoint.
즉, 한 명의 사용자가 상기 증강현실 콘텐츠 제공 서비스를 통해서 제공받고자 하는 원하는 증강현실 콘텐츠를 입력할 경우, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 해당하는 사용자의 키 정보를 이용하여 사용자의 시점 높이(눈의 위치)를 예측하고, 생성한 상기 증강현실 콘텐츠의 전체 화면 중 예측한 시점 높이에 일치하는 높이에서 화각이 이루어지도록 상기 증강현실 콘텐츠를 보정하여, 해당하는 사용자가 위치하고 있는 상기 디스플레이 수단(200)으로 제공하는 것이 바람직하다.That is, when one user inputs the desired augmented reality content that he/she wishes to receive through the augmented reality content provision service, the content control means 300 uses the key information of the corresponding user to determine the height of the user's viewpoint (the height of the eye). position), and correct the augmented reality content so that the angle of view is achieved at a height that matches the predicted viewpoint height among the entire screen of the generated augmented reality content, and display the augmented reality content to the display means 200 where the corresponding user is located. It is desirable to provide
보다 상세하게 말하자면, 통상적으로 증강현실 콘텐츠는 고해상도/넓은 화각의 촬영 수단을 이용하여 생성하기 때문에, 인간의 화각으로는 전체 화면을 다 볼 수 없다. 이를 고려하지 않고 증강현실 콘텐츠를 제공할 경우, 인간의 화각을 벗어난 콘텐츠이기 때문에, 몰입감/현실감이 낮을 수 밖에 없다. 뿐만 아니라, 인간의 시야에서는 실제로 지평선을 포함하고 있는 바다를 볼 경우, 서 있을 때 보이는 지평선와 앉아있을 때 보이는 지평선의 높이, 바다와 하늘, 땅의 비율이 상이해짐이 당연하지만, 종래의 증강현실 콘텐츠는 이를 고려하지 않고 고정되어 있는 시각(촬영 시각)에서의 콘텐츠 제공으로 인해, 지평선을 포함하고 있는 바다 콘텐츠를 제공받을 경우, 서서 보다가 앉을 경우, 바다가 높아지는 느낌이 들어 몰입감이 낮아지는 것이 당연하다.To be more specific, augmented reality content is usually created using high-resolution/wide-angle-of-view photography means, so the entire screen cannot be seen with a human's angle of view. If augmented reality content is provided without taking this into account, the sense of immersion/realism is bound to be low because the content is beyond the human perspective. In addition, when looking at the sea that actually contains the horizon in the human field of vision, it is natural that the height of the horizon visible when standing and the horizon visible when sitting, and the ratio of the sea, sky, and land, are different, but conventional augmented reality content Due to the provision of content at a fixed time (filming time) without taking this into account, if you are provided with ocean content that includes the horizon, it is natural that when you stand and then sit down to watch, the sense of immersion is lowered because the ocean feels higher. do.
이러한 문제점을 해소하기 위하여, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 도 4의 a)와 도 4의 b)에 도시된 바와 같이, 동일한 콘텐츠일지라도 사용자의 시점 높이에 따라 제공되는 화각을 보정하여 제공함으로써, 사용자의 콘텐츠에 대한 몰입감을 향상시킬 수 있다.In order to solve this problem, the content control means 300 corrects the angle of view provided according to the height of the user's viewpoint, even if it is the same content, as shown in Figure 4 a) and Figure 4 b). It can improve users’ sense of immersion in content.
상술한 문제점은 둘 이상의 사용자가 메타버스 등과 같이, 상호 간의 연계되어 있는 증강현실 콘텐츠를 동시에 제공받을 경우, 더욱 두드러진다.The above-described problem becomes more noticeable when two or more users are simultaneously provided with augmented reality content that is linked to each other, such as the metaverse.
즉, 가상 공간에서 캐릭터로 자기 자신을 표현하는 과정에서, 180 cm의 캐릭터와 155 cm의 캐릭터가 서로 간의 시점 차이를 고려하지 않고 콘텐츠를 제공할 경우, 180 cm의 캐릭터와 155 cm의 캐릭터가 서로 마주보고 있더라고 180 cm의 캐릭터는 155 cm의 캐릭터의 뒷 공간을 응시하고 있으며, 155 cm의 캐릭터 역시도 180 cm의 캐릭터의 목이나 가슴 부분을 응시하고 있어, 몰입감이 낮아질 뿐 아니라, 주변 원근감도 무너지는 문제점이 있다.In other words, in the process of expressing oneself as a character in a virtual space, if content is provided to a 180 cm tall character and a 155 cm tall character without considering the difference in viewpoint between them, the 180 cm tall character and the 155 cm tall character will be Even though they are facing each other, the 180 cm character is staring at the space behind the 155 cm character, and the 155 cm character is also staring at the neck or chest of the 180 cm character, which not only lowers the sense of immersion, but also destroys the perspective of the surroundings. There is a problem.
이를 해소하기 위하여, 적어도 둘의 사용자가 상기 증강현실 콘텐츠 제공 서비스를 통해서, 상호 간의 동일한 증강현실 콘텐츠를 제공받고자 할 경우, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 각 사용자의 키 정보를 이용하여, 각 사용자의 시점 높이를 예측하고, 예측한 각 사용자의 시점 높이를 토대로 상호 간의 마주보도록 각각의 증강현실 콘텐츠의 화각을 대칭시켜 보정하는 것이 바람직하다.To solve this problem, when at least two users wish to receive the same augmented reality content through the augmented reality content providing service, the content control means 300 uses the key information of each user to It is desirable to predict the viewpoint height of and symmetrically correct the angle of view of each augmented reality content so that they face each other based on the predicted viewpoint height of each user.
즉, 도 5에 도시된 바와 같이, 상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 비교적 키가 큰 사용자가 비교적 키가 작은 사용자를 내려다보는 시점이 되도록 비교적 키가 작은 사용자 측에 위치하고 있는 카메라의 화각을 제어한 후, 실시간 영상 콘텐츠를 송출하고, 이와 반대로 비교적 키가 작은 사용자가 비교적 키가 큰 사용자를 올려다보는 시점이 되도록 비교적 키가 큰 사용자 측에 위치하고 있는 카메라의 화각을 제어한 후, 실시간 영상 콘텐츠를 송출하는 것이 바람직하다.That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the content control means 300 controls the angle of view of the camera located on the side of the relatively short user so that the relatively tall user is looking down at the relatively short user. Then, real-time video content is transmitted. Conversely, after controlling the angle of view of the camera located on the side of the relatively tall user so that the relatively short user is looking up at the relatively tall user, real-time video content is transmitted. It is desirable to do so.
이러한 카메라의 화각 제어에 따라, 최초 설정한 카메라의 설치 높이 또는, 주 카메라의 설정에 변경 제어될 수도 있다. 물론, 이는 해당하는 콘텐츠가 제공되는 동안 일시적으로 변경 제어되는 것이 바람직하다.Depending on the control of the camera's angle of view, the initially set installation height of the camera or the settings of the main camera may be changed and controlled. Of course, it is desirable that this be temporarily controlled for change while the corresponding content is provided.
또한, 상기 접속 수단(100)은 일측에, 전면부에 위치하게 되는 사용자의 조작에 의한 입력 신호가 입력되는 제3 입력수단을 구비하는 것이 바람직하다.In addition, the connection means 100 is preferably provided on one side with a third input means located on the front side through which an input signal manipulated by the user is input.
상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)을 통해서 적어도 둘의 사용자가 상기 증강현실 콘텐츠 제공 서비스를 통해서 캐릭터 선택이 가능한 증강현실 콘텐츠를 제공받고자 할 경우, 상기 제3 입력수단의 입력 신호에 따라, 캐릭터 선택을 입력받게 된다.When at least two users wish to receive augmented reality content that allows character selection through the augmented reality content providing service through the content control means 300, input character selection according to the input signal of the third input means. You will receive it.
상기 콘텐츠 제어 수단(300)은 상기 제1 입력수단의 입력 신호에 따라, 캐릭터 선택이 가능한 증강현실 콘텐츠를 선택한 후, 상기 제3 입력수단의 입력 신호에 따라 캐릭터가 선택될 경우, 해당하는 사용자의 키 정보를 이용하여, 예측한 사용자의 시점 높이를 토대로 연계 캐릭터의 시점 높이를 매칭시켜 증강현실 콘텐츠의 캐릭터 객체를 추가하게 된다.The content control means 300 selects augmented reality content capable of character selection according to an input signal from the first input means, and then, when a character is selected according to an input signal from the third input means, the corresponding user Using the key information, the character object of the augmented reality content is added by matching the viewpoint height of the linked character based on the predicted user's viewpoint height.
또한, 상기 제1 입력수단의 입력 신호에 따라, 캐릭터 선택이 가능한 증강현실 콘텐츠를 선택한 후, 상기 제3 입력수단의 입력 신호에 따라 캐릭터가 선택되지 않을 경우에도, 해당하는 사용자의 키 정보를 이용하여, 사용자의 시점 높이를 예측하고, 예측한 사용자의 시점 높이를 토대로 연계 캐릭터와 마주보도록 증강현실 콘텐츠의 화각을 대칭시켜 보정하는 것이 바람직하다.In addition, after selecting augmented reality content that allows character selection according to the input signal of the first input means, even if the character is not selected according to the input signal of the third input means, the corresponding user's key information is used. Therefore, it is desirable to predict the height of the user's viewpoint and symmetrically correct the angle of view of the augmented reality content so that it faces the linked character based on the predicted height of the user's viewpoint.
상세하게는, 메타버스와 같이, 본인을 표현하는 캐릭터를 선택하여 증강현실 콘텐츠에 직접 개입할 수 있는 콘텐츠의 경우, 캐릭터 선택을 수행한 사용자의 경우, 해당하는 사용자의 키 정보를 이용하여 연계 캐릭터의 시점 높이를 매칭시키게 된다. 물론 경우에 따라, 사용자가 임의의 키 정보를 입력할 경우, 입력한 키 정보를 이용하여 연계 캐릭터의 시점 높이를 매칭시키게 된다.Specifically, in the case of content such as Metaverse that allows direct intervention in augmented reality content by selecting a character that represents the user, in the case of a user who selects a character, a linked character is created using the corresponding user's key information. The height of the viewpoint is matched. Of course, in some cases, when the user inputs arbitrary key information, the height of the viewpoint of the linked character is matched using the entered key information.
특정 사용자가 캐릭터를 선택하여 증강현실 콘텐츠에 직접 개입할 수 있는 콘텐츠를 선택하였음에도 불구하고, 캐릭터를 선택하지 않을 경우, 상기 접속 수단(100)에 구비되어 있는 카메라를 통해서 촬영되는 현재 모습 그대로 증강현실 콘텐츠에 객체화되어 생성되는 것이 바람직하다. 이 때, 증강현실 콘텐츠 내에서 연계 캐릭터와 마주볼 경우, 사용자의 시점 높이를 토대로 상기 연계 캐릭터의 화각을 대칭시켜 보정하는 것이 바람직하다.Even though a specific user selects content that allows direct intervention in the augmented reality content by selecting a character, if the character is not selected, the augmented reality appears as it is currently captured through the camera provided in the connection means 100. It is desirable that it be created as an object in the content. At this time, when facing a linked character in augmented reality content, it is desirable to symmetrically correct the angle of view of the linked character based on the height of the user's viewpoint.
즉, 상술한 바와 같이, 비교적 키가 큰 사용자가 비교적 키가 작은 사용자를 내려다보는 시점이 되도록 비교적 키가 작은 사용자 측에 위치하고 있는 카메라의 화각을 제어한 후, 실시간 영상 콘텐츠를 송출하고, 이와 반대로 비교적 키가 작은 사용자가 비교적 키가 큰 사용자를 올려다보는 시점이 되도록 비교적 키가 큰 사용자 측에 위치하고 있는 카메라의 화각을 제어한 후, 실시간 영상 콘텐츠를 송출하는 것이 바람직하다.That is, as described above, the angle of view of the camera located on the side of the relatively short user is controlled so that the relatively tall user is looking down at the relatively short user, then real-time video content is transmitted, and vice versa. It is desirable to control the angle of view of the camera located on the side of the relatively tall user so that the relatively short user is looking up at the relatively tall user, and then transmit real-time video content.
