## Title
Virtual world processing device and method

## Abstract

Disclosed are a virtual world processing device and method. By way of example, data collected from the real world is converted to binary form data which is then transmitted, or is converted to XML data, or the converted XML data is further converted to binary form data which is then transmitted, thereby allowing the data transmission rate to be increased and a low bandwidth to be used, and, in the case of a data-receiving adaptation RV engine, the complexity of the adaptation RV engine can be reduced as there is no need to include an XML parser.

TECHNICAL FIELD
Example embodiments relate to a method and apparatus for processing a virtual world, and more particularly to, a method and apparatus for applying information of a real world to a virtual world.
BACKGROUND ART
Currently, an interest in experience-type games has been increasing. Microsoft Corporation introduced “Project Natal” at the “E3 2009” Press Conference. “Project Natal” may provide a user body motion capturing function, a face recognition function, and a voice recognition function by combining Microsoft's Xbox 360 game console with a separate sensor device consisting of a depth/color camera and a microphone array, thereby enabling a user to interact with a virtual world without a dedicated controller. Also, Sony Corporation introduced “Wand” which is an experience-type game motion controller. The “Wand” enables interaction with a virtual world through input of a motion trajectory of a controller by applying, to the PlayStation 3 game console, a location/direction sensing technology obtained by combining a color camera, a marker, and an ultrasonic sensor.
The interaction between a real world and a virtual world has two directions. In one direction, data information obtained by a sensor in the real world may be reflected to the virtual world. In the other direction, data information obtained from the virtual world may be reflected to the real world using an actuator. Embodiments suggest a control system, control method, and commanding structure for applying data obtained through a sensor in the real world to the virtual world, to achieve the interaction between the real world and the virtual world.

FIG. 12 illustrates a sensor capability base type 400 according to example embodiments.
Referring to FIG. 12, the sensor capability base 400 may include sensor capability base attributes 410 and any attributes 420.
The sensor capability base attributes 410 denote a group of sensor capabilities basically included in the sensor capability base type 400.
The any attributes 420 denote a group of additional sensor capabilities of a sensor. The any attributes 420 may be unique additional sensor capabilities which are applicable to an arbitrary sensor. The any attributes 420 may allow scalability for inclusion of attributes other than the base attributes.
FIG. 13 illustrates syntax 500 of a sensor capability base type according to example embodiments.
Referring to FIG. 13, the syntax 500 of the sensor capability base type may include a diagram 510, attributes 520, and a source 530.
The diagram 510 may include a diagram of the sensor capability base type.
The attributes 520 may include sensor capability base attributes and any attributes.
The source 530 may be a program representing the sensor capability base type using an extensible markup language (XML). However, the source 530 shown in FIG. 13 is suggested by way of example but not limiting.
FIG. 14 illustrates syntax 600 of sensor capability base attributes according to example embodiments.
Referring to FIG. 14, the syntax 600 of the sensor capability base attributes may include a diagram 610, attributes 620, and a source 630.
The diagram 610 may include a diagram of the sensor capability base attributes.
The attributes 620 may include a unit 601, a maximum value 602, a minimum value 603, an offset 604, a number of levels 605, a sensitivity 606, a signal to noise ratio (SNR) 607, and an accuracy 608.
The unit 601 is a unit of values measured by a sensor. Depending on embodiments, for example, when the sensor is a thermometer, the unit 601 may be Celsius (° C.) and Fahrenheit (° F.). When the sensor is a speed sensor, the unit 601 may be kilometers per hour (km/h) and meters per second (m/s).
The maximum value 602 and the minimum value 603 denote a maximum value and a minimum value measurable by the sensor, respectively. Depending on embodiments, for example, when the sensor is a thermometer, the maximum value 602 may be 50° C. and the minimum value 603 may be 0° C. Even in the same type of sensor, for example, the thermometer, the maximum value 602 and the minimum value 603 may be varied according to use and function of the sensor.
The offset 604 denotes an offset value added to a value measured by the sensor to obtain an absolute value. Depending on embodiments, for example, presuming that the sensor is a speed sensor and a user or an object of a real world stays still, when a value other than zero is measured as speed, the sensor may determine the offset 604 to a value making the speed zero. For example, when −1 km/h is measured as speed of a vehicle of the real world, the offset 604 may be 11 cm/h.
The number of levels 605 denotes a number of values measurable by the sensor. Depending on embodiments, for example, presuming that the sensor is a thermometer and the maximum value and the minimum value are 50° C. and 0° C., respectively, when the number of levels 605 is 5, the sensor may measure five values, that is, 10° C., 20° C., 30° C., 40° C., and 50° C. Even when temperature of the real world is 27° C., not only when 20° C., the temperature may be measured as 20° C. through round-down. Alternative, in this case, the temperature may be measured as 30° C. through roundup.
The sensitivity 606 denotes a minimum input value required for the sensor to measure an output value. Depending on embodiments, for example, when the sensor is a thermometer and the sensitivity 606 is 1° C., the sensor may not measure a temperature change less than 1° C. but measure only the temperature change of at least 1° C.
The SNR 607 denotes a relative degree of a signal measured by the sensor with respect to a noise. Depending on embodiments, presuming that the sensor is a microphone to measure and a vocal sound of the user of the real world is to be measured, when an ambient noise is large, the SNR 607 of the sensor may be relatively small.
The accuracy 608 denotes an error of the sensor. Depending on embodiments, when the sensor is a microphone, the accuracy 608 may be a measurement error caused by variation of a propagation speed of a sound according to temperature, humidity, and the like. Alternatively, the accuracy 608 may be determined through a statistical error of the values already measured by the sensor.
Depending on embodiments, the attributes 620 may further include a position. The position denotes a position of the sensor. When the sensor is a thermometer, the position of the sensor may be an armpit of the user of the real world. The position may include longitude and latitude, and height and direction from a ground surface.
The unit 601, the maximum value 602, the minimum value 603, the offset 604, the number of levels 605, the sensitivity 606, the SNR 607, the accuracy 608, and the position, as the sensor capability base attributes, may be rearranged as shown in Table 3.

Referring to FIG. 10 again, the processing unit 320 may determine a first value received from the sensor based on the sensor capability, and transmit a second value corresponding to the first value to the virtual world.
Depending on embodiments, the processing unit 320 may transmit the second value to the virtual world when the first value received from the sensor is less than or equal to a maximum value measurable by the sensor and greater than or equal to a minimum value measurable by the sensor.
Depending on embodiments, when the first value received from the sensor is greater than the maximum value, the processing unit 320 may consider the first value as the maximum value and transmit the second value to the virtual world. Also, when the first value is less than the minimum value, the processing unit 320 may consider the first value as the minimum value and transmit the second value to the virtual world.
The virtual world processing apparatus 300 may further include a second storage unit (not shown) configured to store a sensor adaptation preference for manipulation of the first value received from the sensor. The processing unit 320 may generate a third value from the first value based on the sensor capability, and generate the second value from the third value based on the sensor adaptation preference.
Depending on embodiments, information on the motion, state, intention, shape, and the like of the user of the real world, which are measured through the sensor, may be directly reflected to the virtual world.

Source 38-2 and Source 38-3 may include a binary encoding syntax the sensed information of the position sensor, the number of bits occupied by attributes of the binary encoding syntax, and a mnemonic of the attributes.
For example, the binary encoding syntax corresponding to the sensed information of the position sensor may include a priority denoting a priority of the position sensor. Here, the number of bits occupied by the priority may be 8 bits. A priority mnemonic may be uimsbf which stands for ‘unsigned integer most significant bit first.’
Depending on embodiments, the mnemonic may further include bslbf which stands for ‘bit string left bit first’ and Unicode transformation format-8 (UTF-8) which stands for a variable length letter encoding method for Unicode. UTF-8 may use 1 to 4 bytes to express one Unicode letter.
Table 1-0 shows a mnemonic of data.








TABLE 1-0







bslbf
Bit string, left bit first, where “left” is the order in which



bits are written in ISO/IEC 15938-3. Bit strings are



generally written as a string of 1s and 0s within single



quote marks, e.g. ‘1000 0001’. Blanks within a bit



string are for ease of reading and have no significance.



For convenience, large strings are occasionally written



in hexadecimal, in which case conversion to a binary



in the conventional manner will yield the value of the



bit string. Thus, the left-most hexadecimal digit is first



and in each hexadecimal digit the most significant of



the four digits is first.


UTF-8
Binary string encoding defined in ISO 10646/IETF RFC 2279.


vluimsbf5
Variable length unsigned integer most significant bit first



representation consisting of two parts. The first part defines



the number n of 4-bit bit fields used for the value



representation, encoded by a sequence of n-1 “1”



bits, followed by a “0” bit signaling its end. The



second part contains the value of the integer encoded



using the number of bit fields specified in the first part.


uimsbf
Unsigned integer, most significant bit first.


fsbf
Float (32 bit), sign bit first. The semantics of the bits within



a float are specified in the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating



Point Arithmetic (ANSI/IEEE Std 754-1985).

ISO/IEC 23005-6.


ClockTickTimeStamp
The clock tick time stamp is defined in A.2.3 of



ISO/IEC 23005-6.


ClockTickTimeDeltaStamp
The clock tick time delta stamp, which value is the



time delta between the present and the past time, is



defined in A.2.3 of ISO/IEC 23005-6.


ID
ID to identify the sensed information with respect to



an acceleration sensor.


sensorIdRefLength
This field, which is only present in the binary



representation, specifies the length of the following



sensorIdRef attribute.


sensorIdRef
References a sensor that has generated the



information included in this specific sensed



information.


linkedlistLength
This field, which is only present in the binary



representation, specifies the length of the following



linkedlist attribute.


linkedlist
Identifier for the next sensor of the multi-sensor



structure that consists of a group of sensors in a way



that each record contains a reference to the ID of the



next sensor.


groupIDLength
This field, which is only present in the binary



representation, specifies the length of the following



groupID attribute.


groupID
Identifier for a group multi-sensor structure to



which this acceleration sensor belongs.


priority
Describes a priority for sensed information with



respect to other sensed information sharing the same



point in time when the sensed information becomes



adapted. A value of zero indicates the highest



priority and larger values indicate lower priorities.



The default value of the priority is zero. If there is



more than one sensed information with the same



priority, the order of process can be determined by



the Adaptation engine itself.


activate
Describes whether the sensor is activated. A value



of “1” means the sensor is activated and “0” means



the sensor is deactivated.


acceleration
Describes the sensed value of the acceleration



sensor in 3D with respect to the default unit if the



unit is not defined. Otherwise, use the unit type



defined in the sensor capability.


unit
Specifies the unit of the sensed value, if a unit other



than the default unit is used, as a reference to a



classification scheme term provided by UnitCS



defined in xxx of ISO/IEC 23005-6 and use the



binary representation defined above.

A light sensor type is a tool for describing sensed information related to the light sensor.
The light sensor type may include attributes such as a timestamp, a life span, a value, and a color.
The timestamp denotes information on a sensing time of the light sensor.
The life span denotes information on a valid period of a command of the light sensor. For example, the life span may be a second unit.
The value denotes information on a light sensor value expressed by a unit of light intensity, for example, LUX.
The color denotes a color that may be provided by the light sensor. For example, the color may be an RGB color value.
Source 41-2 denotes a binary representation syntax corresponding to the sensed information related to the light sensor according to the example embodiments.

In addition, the information 1306 may include information on a size of the object of the virtual world, expressed by a scale(s,d,h)virtual denoting a width value, a height value, and a depth value of the object.
Depending on embodiments, in a virtual world 1330 of before transmission of the information 1306, the avatar is holding the object. In a virtual world 1340 of after transmission of the information 1306, since the arm opening motion, the still standing state, the positions of hands and feet, the open angle of a hand, and the like are reflected, the avatar of the virtual world may scale up the object.
That is, when the user 1310 of the real world makes a motion of holding and enlarging the object, the CI 1302 related to the arm opening motion, the still standing state, the positions of hands and feet, the open angle of a hand, and the like may be generated through the sensor 1301. Also, the RV engine 1320 may convert the CI 1302 related to the user 1310 of the virtual world, which is data measured in the real world, to the information applicable to the virtual world. The converted information may be applied to a structure of information related to the avatar and the object of the virtual world. Therefore, the motion of holding and enlarging the object may be reflected to the avatar, and the object may be enlarged.
