A virtual shopping mall system by three dimensional image}

The present invention relates to a system for providing commodity information on an electronic commerce and a method of providing the same. More particularly, the present invention introduces a 3D image display technique to a user to provide a feeling of actually shopping in the field, and provides a user with a product The present invention relates to a 3D virtual shopping mall system and a method for providing the same.

Internet commerce refers to the exchange of goods or services between companies, independent organizations such as government, and individuals using a variety of electronic media. The term internet commerce is a broad term encompassing all media such as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Carls (Commerce At Light Speed). Recently, the term internet commerce has a narrow meaning of commerce in the virtual space using the Internet. It is used more.

In the commerce through the Internet, Internet shopping malls are continuously opened with the advantage that customers and companies can transact time and space, and transaction processing is automated and processed accurately and quickly. have.

The shopping mall can be classified into three types.

First, it is an online store front where department stores and stores that are currently operating in the real world open their homepages on the Internet and sell their products to specialty stores, manufacturer direct stores, department stores, etc. First of all, there are specialty shops, such as bookstores, flower delivery shops, and computer-related goods shops, which specialize in selling specific items in the real world, open shopping malls on the Internet, and sell products on the Internet. The manufacturer's direct marketing refers to an Internet store where a manufacturer sells directly to a consumer without intermediary of a merchant.

In addition, a department store opens a shopping mall on the Internet, and sells a variety of products in the real world, and takes advantage of the fact that it already has a logistics system.

Secondly, it is an Internet shopping mall that operates shops only on the Internet, and can be divided into simple link type, tenant type, and mall type.

First, since a simple link type is a shopping mall that collects links of existing online storefronts or internet specialty stores, only a link is provided, so the payment system and the delivery system all follow the unique system of individual stores.

And, unlike the simple link type, the shopping mall in which individual stores are housed manages everything. All individual stores move according to their own image, payment system, and delivery system managed by the tenant type shopping mall, and the home page of each store is maintained in the same form as the template page provided by the shopping mall. Instead, the mall provides services for various transaction processing tasks and settlements, and the homepage of individual stores also provides hosting services that use the hardware of tenant shopping malls, or web servers and homepage construction services of individual stores.

Mall malls also provide links to individual shopping items, but also provide a unique payment system, delivery system, etc., and allow the use of payment and delivery systems unique to individual shopping malls. It provides both links and move-in options.

Thirdly, even if they do not sell actual products, services or digital goods, businesses related to commercials, advertisements, coupons, reservations, etc. that use the Internet are actively being conducted on the Internet.

However, the Internet e-commerce as described above is similar to the existing paper catalog by providing flat product information of two-dimensional graphics and text composition, and could not obtain additional information about the product that the user wants to purchase.

Therefore, the present invention was devised to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to implement and configure an internet shopping mall by using a 3D stereoscopic image display technique, and to provide product information through a real time conversation between a user and a seller. It is to provide a virtual shopping mall system.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of providing e-commerce product information on a plurality of computer systems connected to an internet communication network, the method comprising: inputting an ID of a user of the connected computer; Inputting the user to select or create his character, selecting a store of the shopping mall by a guide voice or a character of the user character on behalf of the user, and talking with the clerk character of the selected store and the user character (Bargaining), and the user character purchases an item.

In addition, the present invention provides a system for providing e-commerce product information on a plurality of computer systems connected to the Internet communication network, the database function for storing the information file about the product to be sold, and the character of the user of the connected computer A function of selecting or generating a function, a function of selecting a store of a shopping mall by a guide voice or a text of the user character, a function of outputting product information of the selected store in a 3D image, a voice, and a character; It is a recording medium recording a three-dimensional image virtual shopping mall system, characterized in that it comprises a function (conversation and bargaining) with the clerk character and the user character, and the user character purchases the goods.
