Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a creative assistance system (e.g., drawing), and more specifically, to a creative assistance system and a control method thereof that, when a canvas connected by lines and vertices is displayed on a screen, a desired drawing image is positioned within the canvas and the drawing image positioned within the canvas changes according to the movement of the vertices of the canvas to assist the creator and continuously induce the creator's participation in the creative process.

[0002] Accordingly, the present invention relates to a creative assistance system and a control method thereof that enhances the expression of a creator's creative imagination and provides fun and enjoyment. Background Technology

[0004] Recently, as the number of mobile device users has increased rapidly due to the rapid advancement of information and communication technology, applications are being developed to provide various types of services, such as games, information, and social media, to these mobile device users online.

[0005] In the case of the aforementioned online service applications, they were initially mostly configured to exchange text or voice between mobile device users or between mobile device users and servers; however, recently, there is a trend toward developing methods that exchange images or symbols instead of text or voice to facilitate communication with users of various nationalities.

[0006] In this way, a service system for exchanging images instead of text or voice between mobile device users or between a mobile device user and a server has been disclosed.

[0007] However, the aforementioned service system had a problem in that it was difficult to induce continuous user participation because it only provided functions such as saving drawings on the server or allowing other users to view them when a user drew a picture using a drawing application.

[0009] To resolve the aforementioned problems, an application was filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on May 25, 2016, under Application No. 10-2016-0063778 (Title of Invention: Artificial Intelligence-based Online Drawing Service System). Referring to FIG. 1, the claims are as follows: "Claim 1. An AI-based online drawing service system comprising a server providing an online drawing service; and a terminal connected to the server and having a drawing application installed thereon, wherein when a user of the terminal draws a picture using the drawing application, the server monitors this in real time to analyze the user's psychological state and determine whether the user's psychological state is abnormal, and if the determination result is abnormal, restricts at least one of the line thickness, line color, or type of art materials provided by the drawing application to cure it. Claim 2. The AI-based online drawing according to Claim 1, wherein the drawing application is configured to allow multiple terminal users to jointly draw a single picture, and is characterized by being able to set at least one of the number of users participating in the drawing, the subject of the drawing, and the order of participation among the users." Drawing service system. Claim 3. An artificial intelligence-based online drawing service system according to Claim 1 or 2, wherein the server analyzes the user's psychological state by fuzzy logic using information such as the type of color used in the input drawing, the number of colors, the thickness of the line, the length of the line, the strength of the line, the degree of screen space utilization, and the position of the drawing in the screen space.
