[0057] The following describes implementations of the product experience device, product experience method, and program of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. A product experience system equipped with the product experience device of the present invention is, for example, a system that uses the product experience device to provide virtual product experience and trading, such as virtual travel experiences, while utilizing virtual product experience and trading facilities. The product experience device of the present invention provides users with virtual product experience and trading services in a space that virtually represents the real world or the virtual world. In addition to virtual travel experiences, the product experience system of the present invention also allows for virtual product experience and trading, such as those in a game world that is separate from reality.

[0058] In this invention, "virtual space" refers to a virtual space constructed on a computer or the Internet. Specifically, in this invention, virtual space refers to a place where people can communicate and engage in social activities online, just as they would in the real world. In this invention, when users communicate with each other online, they can do so as their own alter-egos, or avatars. The type of virtual space is not particularly important in this invention, but it can be a virtual space that mimics real space, a hybrid of real and virtual space, or even a space that is impossible in the real world, allowing users to communicate with each other in such a space.

[0059] In the present invention, a "commodity object" refers to a digitally constructed object that a user uses as an avatar in a virtual space. In this specification, the information that constructs such an object is referred to as "commodity object information." In one embodiment of the present invention, the commodity object faithfully mimics a real-world commodity. That is, in the virtual space, the user (or the owner as an avatar within the virtual space) can use the commodity, demonstrate it, and verify its actual size and condition, just as they would in the real world.

[0060] In the present invention, product information refers to product information in the real world. This "product information" is associated with "product object information" and stored in the storage unit of the present invention.

[0061] The storage unit in the product experience providing device of the present invention resides on a local or cloud server. This storage unit stores virtual space construction information for constructing the virtual space, product object information in the virtual space corresponding to real-world products, product information associated with the product object information, and owner information of individuals recognized as the owners of the product objects and products.

[0062] The object providing unit of the present invention displays a commodity object in a virtual space and the user's avatar on a user's (owner's) terminal in real space, or displays the commodity object on the user's (or user's) terminal by associating the user with the owner of the commodity object. Terminals displaying commodity objects include mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, and the like. Alternatively, it may be a goggle-type headset connected to these terminals physically or via the internet, and a controller used in combination therewith, or an equivalent device.

[0063] The "product experience providing unit" in the present invention refers to a unit that, with respect to product objects and / or products from a user terminal in the real space, first displays the product objects in the virtual space and then performs operations related to these applications when there is an application for use in the virtual space, transfer in the virtual space, rental in the virtual space, rental in the real world, or transfer in the real world, or any combination of these.

[0064] When using the virtual space, the user's avatar can temporarily hand over the merchandise to the user's avatar, or the user's avatar can demonstrate the merchandise in front of the user's avatar. When use is complete, the avatar holding the merchandise returns the merchandise.

[0065] When leasing or transferring a commodity in a virtual space, the lease period for the user's avatar begins when the commodity object is handed over to the user's avatar in the virtual space. In the present invention, the object reward payment unit described below can generate rewards for all or part of the lease period. This processing can be performed in the commodity reward payment unit of the present invention, specifically, by setting up an NFT (Non-fungible token) management unit on the server to perform this operation.

[0066] Following or independently of the aforementioned virtual space events, real-world goods corresponding to the commodity objects viewed by users in the virtual space can be transferred or leased from the owner to the user in the real world by the user requesting the operation on the user terminal. This processing can be performed by the reward settlement unit on the server, which processes the commodity price and / or rental fee. Alternatively, the commodity and commodity object reward payment unit of the present invention can be implemented by an NFT management unit provided on the server.

[0067] The product experience providing device of the present invention includes a product and product object reward payment unit that pays a predetermined reward to a product object and a corresponding product owner based on the number of requests from a user terminal within a predetermined period.

[0068] In another embodiment of the present invention, a product experience providing device manages the owner's rights related to product objects and products on a predetermined trading platform. In other words, processing is performed within a predetermined platform server. A product object price determination unit is provided to set the transaction price of the product objects and products based on the owner's desired price.

[0069] In other embodiments of the present invention, the rights associated with the owner of a product object include information about a second owner to whom the owner has transferred the rights. The product experience providing device further includes a share payment unit that pays a portion of the economic benefits accrued by the second owner regarding the product object and / or the product to the owner. This processing can be performed on the platform server.

[0070] In another embodiment of the present invention, the product experience providing device further includes a cryptocurrency provisioning unit. Upon receiving a request related to a product object and / or product from a user terminal, the cryptocurrency provisioning unit provides the cryptocurrency corresponding to the product object in a usable form within the user terminal. This processing can be performed by a platform server or a server operated by a crypto asset trader in conjunction with a remuneration payment unit located within the platform server. Furthermore, the cryptocurrency processed by the product experience providing device is a token issued using a predetermined distributed ledger technology. In this embodiment, the token is a non-fungible token, and the owner of the product object and / or product is authenticated by the non-fungible token. In the storage unit of the present invention, when the authenticated owner changes, the owner information and information related to the product object and / or product are associated with the changed information and updated.

[0071] The present invention also includes a method for performing the above-mentioned product experience providing device and / or a program for executing various processes in the product experience providing device and a system for executing the device.

[0072] Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, the product experience providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "this system") includes a product experience providing device, a user terminal, and an owner terminal. The product experience providing device, the user terminal, and the owner terminal are communicably connected to each other via a network.

[0074] The product experience providing device of this system includes a storage medium that can read the product experience providing program. Such a medium can be a local server or a server in the cloud. The program that executes the product experience providing device is read into the processor (control unit) in the product experience providing device, and together with the hardware resources, physically and / or logically implements the product experience providing system and product experience providing method.

[0075] This system is a system that allows users to experience in virtual space using user terminals. Figure 2 As shown, users 1 and 2, wearing headphones or the like, can view the same virtual space 1. Within this virtual space 1, users 1 and 2 can browse and request merchandise displayed by owners 1, 2, or 3, allowing them to experience whether the merchandise is actually usable in real life. To provide this experience, database 2 of the merchandise experience providing device of the present invention includes a product icon database. This product icon database processes user-provided product information based on the representation of real-world merchandise objects, allowing users to experience the operation and size of merchandise in virtual space.

[0076] In the present invention, User 1 and User 2 can experience the same or separate products in the same virtual space, or they can experience separate products or the same product in separate virtual spaces. Furthermore, as described in detail below, User 1 can become the owner of a product object created from the product icon database stored in the product experience providing device of the present invention. This ownership is transferable. Thus, similar to the real world, a product object can be transferred to Owner 2, Owner 3, and so on.

[0077] In addition, in the present invention, the database in the commodity experience providing device of the present invention associates information about real commodities with commodity object information and stores them, and commodities in the real space can be rented or sold to users according to the user's request.

[0078] In other words, a user can become the owner of a commodity object of the present invention or a commodity corresponding to the commodity object in real space. Upon the user's request, the owner can exchange information about the commodity object with the user in the same virtual space. The user can rent the commodity object from the owner for a period of time. During this period, the user can decide to rent or purchase the corresponding real-world commodity based on the information received from the commodity object.

[0079] Users can use the product experience provision system by using the user terminal. The hardware structure of the user terminal will be described later. The display unit (display, etc.) of the user terminal displays the product as a 3D object or 3D image. Figure 2 The virtual space 1 shown contains commodity objects and user avatars (not shown).

[0080] Figure 3 This diagram illustrates an example hardware configuration of a product experience providing device. The illustrated configuration is merely an example and may include other configurations and be replaced with components having the same functionality. Furthermore, while the illustrated product experience providing device is shown as a single device, multiple devices may be combined to form a single device.

[0081] like Figure 3 As shown, the product experience providing device is a type of information processing device. Typically, the product experience providing device includes a processor, a memory, a storage space, a transceiver, an input / output unit, and a bus.

[0082] Examples of processors include a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and an MPU (Micro-Processing Unit). Furthermore, a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) or a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) may also be included. In other words, a processor is any device capable of executing commands from a certain program. It may include registers that store information physically close to the processor, an L1 cache, and an L2 cache. These may be included in the processor, but may also be included in memory or storage space.

[0083] The memory is a temporary storage space that can utilize RAM (Random Access Memory). The memory temporarily calls data from the storage space and stores it.

[0084] Storage is a device that records information. It can be external or internal memory. It can be primary or secondary storage. It can be a magnetic disk (hard disk), optical disk, magnetic tape, semiconductor memory, etc. Furthermore, it can also be network-based storage or cloud-based storage.

[0085] The storage space of the present invention may include a product experience providing program of a product experience providing system according to one embodiment. The storage space may also record part or all of the data required to perform services associated with the present invention. In addition, the storage space may also include a database described below.

[0086] The above configuration describes a case where a processor executes a product experience providing program stored in a memory space. However, a processor, memory space, and bus can also be combined to form a dedicated circuit that performs information processing, such as a PLD (Programmable Logic Device).

[0087] The transceiver transmits information together with the communication interface (IF). The transceiver includes a sending part and a receiving part. The transceiver has the function of transmitting the information of the product experience providing device to other information terminals (user terminals or owner terminals) via the network. The communication IF can be any connection form, and can also be USB (Universal Serial Bus), IEEE1394, Ethernet (registered trademark), PCI (Peripheral Controller Interface), SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), etc. The network can be either wired or wireless, and optical fiber, coaxial cable, etc. can also be used. The connection of the system of the above embodiment can be a direct connection or an indirect connection.

[0088] The input / output unit includes an input device and an output device. Examples of the input device include a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, or a pen-type pointing device. The display device has the function of displaying information. For example, any device capable of displaying information, such as a liquid crystal display, a plasma display, or an organic EL (electroluminescent) display, may be used. Alternatively, a portion of the device may include an input device, such as a touch panel.

[0089] The hardware constituting the product experience providing device may be a general-purpose computer or a dedicated computer. In addition, the hardware may be a workstation, desktop computer, laptop computer, notebook computer, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), mobile phone, smart phone, etc.

[0090] exist Figure 3 In the description, the product experience providing device is described as a single product experience providing device, but the product experience providing device may be composed of multiple information processing devices. When composed of multiple information processing devices, one or more of the information processing devices may be terminal devices. The multiple information processing devices may be internally connected or externally connected. In addition, when the product experience providing device is composed of multiple information processing devices, the owners may be different. In addition, the person who operates the content providing device may be different from the owner of the product experience providing device. In addition, the product experience providing device may be a virtual device. For example, the product experience providing device may be virtually implemented using cloud computing.

[0091] Figure 4 This diagram illustrates an example of the hardware configuration of a user terminal or owner terminal that connects to a product experience providing device via a network and performs information processing. The illustrated configuration is merely an example and may include other configurations or be replaced with components having the same functionality. Furthermore, while the illustrated user terminal is shown as a single device, multiple devices may be combined to form a single device.

[0092] Among the following elements, elements with the same names may have the same structure as the above-mentioned product experience providing device, and therefore their detailed description is omitted.

[0093] like Figure 4 As shown, the product experience providing device is a type of information processing device. The product experience providing device typically includes a processor, a memory, a storage space, a transceiver, an input and output unit, a bus, and a location information acquisition unit.

[0094] The user terminal or owner terminal may optionally include a location information acquisition unit. This unit acquires the user terminal's current location using GPS (Global Positioning System). Location information can be acquired using an IP address or from a connected wireless network device. By including such a location information acquisition unit, the virtual space of the present invention can be formed into a hyper-realistic virtual space that merges real and virtual space.

[0095] The hardware that constitutes the user terminal and owner terminal of the present invention, similar to the aforementioned product experience providing device, can be a general-purpose computer or a dedicated computer. Furthermore, this hardware can be a workstation, desktop computer, laptop computer, notebook computer, PDA, mobile phone, smartphone, etc. However, since it is desirable for the user to carry this hardware, it is preferably a portable device.

[0096] Figure 5 This is a functional block diagram of a product experience providing device. The product experience providing device may only have some of these functions.

[0097] The storage unit stores virtual space generation information for generating a virtual space, information for displaying a commodity object corresponding to a commodity existing in a real space, owner information proving the owner of the commodity object, and content information associated with the owner information, wherein the virtual space is generated based on geographic information of the real space.

[0098] If the location information acquisition unit is present, the location information of the user terminal sent from the user terminal is received. The location information can be received in response to a request from the product experience providing device, or it can be received by actively sending information from the user terminal.

[0099] The object providing unit displays the virtual space, the commodity objects, and the user objects, and displays the owner objects as needed. In this specification, the user and owner objects may be characters in the virtual space, that is, avatars.

[0100] These objects can be associated with the position information of the user terminal in the real space and provided to the display unit of the user terminal in a displayable manner.

[0101] When receiving a product object use request, a product object rental request, a product object purchase request, or a product purchase / rental request from a user terminal, the purchase processing unit performs purchase settlement processing. In the present invention, the settlement processing method can be performed by the object fee payment unit.

[0102] Once the purchase process is completed, the product experience providing unit provides the product object provided by the owner of the product object to the user terminal in a usable manner. In other words, when the user terminal is connected to the Internet, the user can hold, operate, or try on the product object in a manner that is actually usable in virtual space.

[0103] The reward payment unit pays a predetermined incentive to the owner of the merchandise and / or merchandise object based on the purchase performance or the request information of the merchandise object.

[0104] like Figure 6 As shown, the product experience providing device includes virtual space generation information and user information. The virtual space generation information includes at least structure object information, owner information, and content information. Furthermore, some of this information may utilize information provided by an external terminal, and not all of the information may be stored in the storage unit at all times.

[0105] Virtual space generation information is the information required to display a virtual space corresponding to the real world on the user's terminal. This information utilizes structural object information, owner information, and content information. It can include data such as 3D images, 3D objects, renderings, images, and text.

[0106] User information is information that associates user terminals and owner terminals using this system with users, and typically includes user IDs, passwords, payment information, terminal-specific identification information, and contact information.

[0107] Owner information is information about the owner of the structure object. The structure object is traded on a predetermined trading platform. The product experience providing device maintains and updates the owner information to the latest information.

[0108] Content information is information associated with an owner. Examples of content include art, characters, domains, music, videos, photos, sounds, cards, and other virtual lands and locations created by the owner. This content can be managed and owned by the owner, or it can be managed or owned by other users, even though it is proven to be created by the owner.

[0109] Figure 7 This diagram illustrates the processing flow of this system. As shown, a user logs in to the system's services provided by the product experience providing device by sending login information from a user terminal (S01). The product experience providing device then provides at least virtual space information to the user terminal (S02). The virtual space is displayed on the user terminal. The user's login information is then sent to the owner terminal associated with the product object requested by the user (S03).

[0110] When a user sends a request for use, rental, or purchase of a product owned by a certain owner (S04), the product experience providing device verifies the request information sent from the user terminal. For example, the server verifies whether the location information sent from the user terminal is consistent with the information in the storage unit.

[0111] The product experience providing device sends the product settlement information required to purchase the object of the owner of the product object (S05). The user terminal performs settlement processing when purchasing the product object. If the settlement processing is performed correctly, the settlement information is sent (S06). The product experience providing device reads the purchased content information and the corresponding token information, and sends it to the user terminal (S07). The settlement processing can be performed by the user terminal or the product experience providing device, or by using other settlement operators. The user can use the content and obtain the predetermined token corresponding to the content. This series of processes can be assisted by the payment plan of the financial institution. At this time, the financial institution replaces the settlement function of the user terminal.

[0112] The use of a merchandise object can be achieved by transferring ownership of the content from the owner to the user. Alternatively, only the merchandise associated with the merchandise object can be provided to the user. In this case, the change of ownership can be verified by cooperating with other services that can verify the ownership of the content.

[0113] If the settlement is completed, information notifying that the product or product object has been purchased may be sent to the owner's terminal. At this time, a predetermined incentive may be paid to the owner (S08).

[0114] Figures 8 to 11 The figures illustrate examples of structures that can be added to or partially replaced in the embodiments of the present invention. The product experience providing device illustrated in each figure includes the same structure as the product experience providing device described above, so the illustration of all structures is omitted and their detailed description is omitted.

[0115] like Figure 8 As shown, the product experience providing device includes a transaction price acceptance unit and a price determination unit. Rights related to the owner (owner) of the product and / or product object can be traded. As shown in the figure, the transaction owner terminal who wishes to trade makes a transaction request to the product experience providing device. At this time, the transaction owner proposes the price he wants to trade (the purchase price). The proposed price is accepted by the transaction price acceptance unit. The price determination unit determines the price based on the accepted price request. The determined price is notified to the transaction owner terminal and the current owner terminal. In this way, the owner can sell the structure object he holds to others and obtain the benefits brought by the sale.

[0116] Figure 8The structure example shown determines the price (value) of the commodity and / or commodity object according to the request of the transaction owner terminal. Figure 9 As shown in the structural example, the price (value) of the goods and / or goods objects is determined based on the performance obtained from the goods and / or goods objects. As shown in the figure, the product experience providing device can also determine the price based on a request from the transaction-desiring user terminal. Alternatively, the transaction price can be determined in advance by the owner, and the transaction is processed in a manner that does not respond to transactions other than those conducted at this price. Specifically, the location information acquisition unit obtains the location information provided by the visiting user terminals visiting each structure, and the price determination unit determines the price based on the number of visits. The determined price information is provided to the transaction-desiring owner terminal and the current owner terminal.

[0117] By configuring in this manner, each owner can use the merchandise object to advertise the merchandise they own and / or the merchandise corresponding to the merchandise object, allowing users to access a virtual space where they can experience the merchandise object they wish to sell or transfer. This can increase the value of the merchandise and / or merchandise object. In addition, as described above, unique content provided by the owner can be sold to users who visit each merchandise and / or merchandise object. That is, the owner of this embodiment can earn revenue by selling unique content that cannot be obtained without visiting the structure. In addition, the owner can also earn revenue by selling merchandise and / or merchandise objects whose value has increased at a price higher than the purchase price. Each merchandise and / or merchandise object can increase the number of visitors to the virtual space that can access the merchandise and / or merchandise object through the owner's advertising or the sale of unique content that cannot be obtained without visiting the structure.

[0118] As an example of a price determination method, the number of users who access the virtual space and request the product object within a predetermined period is calculated, but the calculation can also be based on, for example, the number of users who send requests within a specific period, the user's purchase history of other products and / or product objects, etc.

[0119] In the above example, the goods and / or merchandise objects are owned by an owner, and the owner increases their value by advertising, etc. However, for example, the right of use is lent to a more influential owner (second owner). The second owner, as an influential person who spreads the charm of the structure, promotes the goods and / or merchandise objects and can obtain a predetermined level of share (not shown). As a result, the cost and labor of the user for advertising can be suppressed, and the profit can be increased by utilizing the structure of the present invention. In addition, unique content (second owner content) provided by the second owner can be sold to the user. As Figure 10As shown, the product experience providing device includes: a performance acquisition unit that acquires performance based on the second owner's advertising and sales of the second owner's content; and a remuneration payment unit that pays the owner terminal a remuneration calculated based on the performance as an incentive. The product experience providing device also includes an owner information management unit that manages and updates information about the owner and the second owner.

[0120] Then, if Figure 11 As shown, the product experience providing device includes a cryptocurrency calculation unit and a cryptocurrency provision unit. When a purchase request for content is received from a user terminal, the cryptocurrency calculation unit calculates the amount of cryptocurrency corresponding to the content. The cryptocurrency provision unit provides the calculated cryptocurrency to the user terminal in a usable form. The cryptocurrency can be a digital asset designed to function as a medium of exchange. The record of cryptocurrency ownership is made public using distributed ledger technology. The cryptocurrency provided can also be a real currency or a currency with a fixed value, such as a stablecoin. Alternatively, it can be a token issued using an existing blockchain network. As long as it has economic value, it can be in the form of currency or asset. This makes it possible to build an economic circle that utilizes the cryptocurrency. Furthermore, the amount of cryptocurrency provided can be controlled based on the order or quantity of content purchased. This also allows the creation of a structure that seeks to benefit senior users.

[0121] like Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the structure object can be authenticated by a non-fungible token. This allows for intermediary transactions in collaboration with existing platform operators that offer non-fungible token trading services. As shown in the figure, ownership of the structure object is authenticated on the blockchain network by the combination of the transaction object and / or the product object and the first owner's identification information (the first owner's wallet information) (Proofing Process 1). When the first owner sells the structure object to a second owner, the ownership change is confirmed by certifying that the ownership has been transferred from the first owner's identification information to the second owner's identification information (the second owner's wallet information) (Proofing Process 2).

[0122] The above-mentioned embodiments are merely examples for facilitating understanding of the invention and are not intended to limit or interpret the present invention. The present invention can be modified and improved without departing from the spirit thereof, and the present invention also includes equivalents thereof.
