Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current instant messenger technologies do not allow users to easily customize their avatars with three-dimensional objects within virtual spaces, limiting user interaction and engagement.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for creating and inserting three-dimensional (3D) objects as items within a virtual space using a computer device, where the 3D object is extracted from an image, rendered, and customized with design elements such as size, position, motion, and texture, and applied within the virtual space associated with a user's avatar.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If 3D objects are created and integrated into virtual spaces in instant messengers, then user interaction and engagement are enhanced, but device complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates 3D objects by generating three-dimensional representations from two-dimensional images. Instead of requiring complex manual 3D modeling, the system automatically copies and transforms 2D image data into 3D models that can be placed in virtual spaces, significantly reducing device complexity while enhancing user interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from 2D images to 3D objects by adding a third dimension to flat images. This dimensionality change allows objects to be placed in virtual spaces with depth and spatial properties, enhancing adaptability and user engagement without requiring manually created complex 3D models.
2Adaptability or versatility
If 3D objects are extracted from images and rendered, then personalized avatars and items are created, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting and extracting objects from images before the user needs them. The object detection and 3D rendering processes are initiated automatically when an image is provided, preparing the 3D objects in advance so they are ready for placement in virtual spaces without delaying user interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides self-service by automatically detecting objects, extracting them from images, and generating 3D models without requiring manual intervention. The processing system autonomously identifies what objects to create and how to render them, reducing the time users need to spend on manual configuration while maintaining high personalization capability.
3Manufacturing precision
If object detection algorithms are used to extract objects from images, then accurate 3D object creation is achieved, but computational complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical processes of object creation with automated computational algorithms. Instead of users manually modeling objects, computer vision algorithms automatically detect and extract objects from images, achieving high extraction accuracy while managing processing complexity through efficient algorithm implementation.

AI summary
A method, a device, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for creating a three-dimensional (3D) object for a virtual space that may create a 3D object by three-dimensionally rendering an object extracted from an input image, may set a design element of the 3D object in association with a virtual space in which an avatar is provided, and may provide the 3D object to which the design element is applied as an item of the virtual space.
