Virtual Exhibition Space Snapshot Generation for Data Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional virtual gallery services face issues with high server load, long data transmission times, and user loading times due to the large and complex data requirements of 3D and VR technologies, which demand high-performance user terminals and result in inefficient data management.
Innovation Solution
A virtual exhibition space providing method that displays a 3D exhibition space on a user terminal, allowing users to select and arrange work images on virtual wall surfaces, generating snapshot images for reduced data transmission and loading times by using 2.5-dimensionalization to create stereoscopic effects without requiring high-performance terminals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If 3D engine or VR technology is used to provide stereoscopic gallery service, then the gallery service quality is improved, but the data size and processing time increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the virtual gallery space into multiple wall surfaces, each independently manageable. Work images are arranged on individual wall surfaces rather than processing the entire 3D space at once, dividing the large data processing task into smaller, more manageable segments that reduce overall processing time
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses 2D wall surface images as simplified copies or representations of the 3D virtual space walls. Instead of transmitting and processing complete 3D models and textures, the system uses 2D snapshots that capture the essential visual information, dramatically reducing data size while maintaining gallery service quality
2Reliability
If complete work image data is transmitted for every wall surface, then the exhibition quality is improved, but the data transmission time and server load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential visual information from complete work images by creating 2D wall surface snapshots. These snapshots contain the necessary exhibition quality information without the full detail of original high-resolution images, allowing quality exhibition while reducing transmission data volume
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from transmitting 3D spatial data and high-resolution image data to transmitting 2D wall surface snapshots. This dimensional reduction simplifies the data structure and decreases the amount of data that needs to be transmitted while preserving the visual exhibition quality
3Reliability
If high-performance user terminals are used to process 3D gallery data, then the gallery service quality is improved, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses 2D wall surface images as simplified copies that can be easily processed by standard user terminals. These 2D representations require minimal computational resources compared to full 3D rendering, allowing high-quality gallery service on devices with ordinary processing capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the data representation parameters from 3D coordinates and high-resolution textures to 2D image snapshots with simplified spatial relationships. This parameter transformation reduces the computational complexity required for display, enabling quality gallery service on less powerful devices

AI summary
Provided is a virtual exhibition space providing method for efficient data management. The method comprises the steps of: displaying, on a screen, a space image in which an exhibition space including multiple wall surfaces is expressed in three dimensions; receiving a first user's selection of a particular wall surface among multiple wall surfaces on the space image; displaying, on a screen, a wall surface image of the particular wall surface, in which the particular wall surface is expressed in two dimensions; receiving a command of the first user which causes at least one work image having a particular size to overlap and be arranged at a particular position on the wall surface image; generating a snapshot image of the particular wall surface in which the at least one work image overlaps and is arranged on the wall surface image; and transmitting, to a server, identification information of the particular wall surface, the snapshot image, and the at least one work image.
