Patent ID: 6879322

Claim:
A three-dimensional object display system to display objects in an apparent three-dimensional space display according to object attributes used as criteria to select one or more objects, the system comprising: an object data storage unit storing information corresponding to the object attributes and displaying data for each object; and a three-dimensional space data production unit searching the object data storage unit, calculating coordinate values of a three-dimensional space in which to position each object based on the object attribute values selected from the object attributes of each object according to results of the search of the object data storage unit, and producing three-dimensional space data displaying each object according to results of the calculation of the coordinate values for the three-dimensional space, wherein the three-dimensional space data production unit encloses each of the objects positioned in the apparent three-dimensional space display within a frame of a uniform size and reduces or enlarges the frame and the objects enclosed therein depending on a distance of the three-dimensional space from a vantage point outside the three-dimensional space, and wherein the uniform size of the frame is determined based on a number of articles to be displayed, ease of viewing when displayed, and overall balance.
