Additionally, in addition to smartphones, desktop PCs, tablet PCs, slate PCs, and laptop computers may be applicable. Of course, the terminal to which the present invention is applicable is not limited to the types described above, and may naturally include all terminals capable of communicating with external devices.

Referring to Figure 1, which is a configuration diagram of the system 100, the system 100 includes an information input window providing unit 110, an initial information receiving unit 120, a tutorial providing unit 130, a touch information receiving unit 140, and character creation. It includes a unit 150 and a display unit 160.

The information input window providing unit 110 provides the user with an information input window 111 for inputting initial user information including nickname, gender, and age. Referring to FIG. 2 illustrating the information input window 111 according to an embodiment, the information input window 111 is a screen displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) through which initial user information can be input from the user. Items of initial user information input in the information input window 111 include nickname, gender, and age, but this is not limited, and items that do not reflect user preferences can be added.

When the user inputs initial user information into the information input window 111, the initial information receiving unit 120 receives the user's initial user information from the information input window 111.

The tutorial providing unit 130 provides the user with NPC characters and tutorials using the NPC characters. Users can learn the overall operation of NPC characters through tutorials.

Referring to FIG. 3 illustrating a tutorial according to an embodiment, the tutorial provides information on the overall operation method of the NPC character (C) using the provided NPC character (C). Specifically, the tutorial may include how the user places the NPC character (C) in an augmented reality environment, how to interact with the NPC character (C), how to move the NPC character (C), etc.

Referring to Figure 3 (a), the user can learn and practice how to place the NPC character (C) in an augmented reality (AR) environment through the tutorial. The user can practice how to place the NPC character (C) using the 3D curve shown on the display unit 160.

In addition, referring to FIGS. 3 (b) to (d), the user can learn the situational reaction of the NPC character (C) through the tutorial and practice how to interact with the NPC character (C).

As an example, in Figure 3 (b), a GUI showing the NPC character (C) and the situation of the NPC character (C) is displayed on the screen, and a window for selecting a toy (T) that can interact with the NPC character (C) is displayed. can be printed. Specifically, you can learn the reaction of the NPC character (C) when a toy (T) is given to the NPC character (C) depending on the situation. Here, the situation of the NPC character (C) may mean whether the NPC character (C) interacted a lot with the user or not. In other words, depending on intimacy, you can learn the reaction of the NPC character (C) when given a toy (T).

Likewise, in Figure 3 (c), a GUI showing the NPC character (C) and the situation of the NPC character (C) is displayed on the screen, and a window for selecting food (F) that can interact with the NPC character (C) is displayed. You can. Specifically, you can learn the reaction of the NPC character (C) when food (F) is given to the NPC character (C) depending on the situation. Here, the situation of the NPC character (C) may be whether the NPC character (C) is hungry or not. In other words, you can learn the reaction of the NPC character (C) when given food (F) according to the hunger state.

Likewise, in Figure 3 (d), a GUI showing the NPC character (C) and the situation of the NPC character (C) is displayed on the screen, and a window for selecting a cleaning tool (B) that can interact with the NPC character (C) is displayed. It can be. Specifically, depending on the situation of the NPC character (C), the reaction of the NPC character (C) can be learned when a cleaning tool (for example, combing with a comb) is used. Here, the situation of the NPC character (C) may be whether the NPC character (C) is clean or not. In other words, you can learn the reaction of the NPC character (C) when you brush according to the cleanliness level.

Additionally, referring to Figure 3 (e), the user can learn and practice how to move the NPC character (C) through the tutorial. The user can move the NPC character (C) by touching a point shown on the display unit 160.

Referring again to FIG. 1, the touch information receiver 140 receives the user's touch information from the tutorial. Touch information includes the number of interactions with the NPC character, interaction method, and touch location. Additionally, touch information may include the frequency of touching areas other than the NPC character.

The character creation unit 150 creates a character based on initial user information and touch information input from the user. At this time, the character created is based on the user's gender, how much the user interacted with the NPC character, how the user interacted, which area of the NPC character was mainly touched, and how much areas other than the NPC character were touched. The character's appearance and color may vary.

The display unit 160 displays the character created by the character creation unit 150. In an embodiment, a character is an object that can interact with a user, and the color of the character may vary depending on the user's actions during the character development process.

The system 100 may further include a propensity information receiving unit 170 and a character dyeing unit 180.

The propensity information receiving unit 170 receives the user's propensity information from the user during the process of developing the character displayed on the display unit 160. The propensity information received by the propensity information receiver 170 includes first propensity information, second propensity information, and third propensity information.

The first tendency information indicates how introverted or extroverted the user's tendency is. First tendency information can be confirmed by the frequency with which the user exits (finishes) the character development process, the frequency with which the user checks the friend page during the character development process, and the frequency with which the user uses a messenger during the character development process.

Second tendency information indicates how intuitive or sensuous the user's tendency is. Second tendency information can be confirmed by the frequency with which the user progresses through the training process in an augmented reality environment or a general screen environment.

The third tendency information indicates how emotional or thinking the user's tendency is. Third tendency information can be confirmed by the frequency with which the user interacts with the character, the frequency with which the user neglects the character, and the user's play tendency (for example, playing frequently in short bursts or playing for a long time at a time), etc.

Referring to FIG. 4 illustrating a character according to an embodiment, the character coloring unit 180 may color all or part of the character based on the disposition information received from the disposition information receiving unit 170. Specifically, the part of the character that is dyed may be the stripes (S) on the head as shown in Figure 4, and various other parts such as hands, feet, stomach, and ears may be dyed. Referring to Figures 4 (a) and (b), the stripes formed on the character's head may be dyed in various colors according to the user's personality information. In addition, in Figures 4 (a) and (b), a cat character is set as an example, but the type and appearance of the character are not limited to this.

The color applied to the character by the character dyeing unit 180 can be set based on the value of the RGB color code, and can be determined by varying the value for each area of the RGB color code according to the first to third tendency information. there is. That is, each of the first to third tendency information may correspond to three regions (R, G, B) of the RGB color code.

As an example, the first tendency information may correspond to the R (red) region among the three regions of RGB and may have a value from 0 to 255 depending on how introverted or extroverted the user's tendency is. Likewise, the second tendency information may correspond to the G (green) area among the three areas of RGB and may have a value from 0 to 255 depending on how intuitive or sensuous the user's tendency is. Likewise, the third tendency information may correspond to the B (blue) area among the three areas of RGB and may have a value from 0 to 255 depending on how emotional or thinking the user's tendency is.

Additionally, when the received personality information is small, that is, at the beginning of the character development process, the character coloring unit 180 determines that the accuracy of the personality information is low, and can change the value of the RGB color code to a large extent. On the other hand, when there is a lot of received disposition information, that is, after the beginning of the character development process, the accuracy of the disposition information is determined to be high, and the value of the RGB color code can be changed by a small amount.

Referring to FIG. 5 , which is a flowchart of a method of providing a character development service customized to user preference through an application, a method of providing a character development service customized to user preference through an application will be described.

The information input window provision section determines whether the user's existing data exists (S110).

If there is no existing user data, the information input window provision unit provides the user with an information input window for entering initial user information including nickname, gender, and age. (S120)

When the user enters initial user information in the information input window, the initial information receiving unit receives the user's initial user information from the information input window (S130).

After receiving the initial user information, the tutorial provision unit provides the user with an NPC character and a tutorial using the NPC character (S140).

When the user completes the provided tutorial, the touch information receiver receives touch information including the number of interactions with the user's NPC character, interaction method, and touch location from the tutorial (S150).

The character creation unit creates a character based on the received initial user information and touch information (S160).

When character creation is completed, the display unit displays the created character on the terminal screen (S170).

Referring to FIG. 6 , which is a flowchart of a method of providing a character development service customized to user preference through an application, a method of providing a character development service customized to user preference through an application will next be described.

The propensity information receiver receives the user's propensity information from the user. (S210) The propensity information received from the user includes first propensity information indicating how introverted or extroverted the user's propensity is, and how intuitive the user's propensity is. Alternatively, it includes second tendency information indicating how sensuous the user is, and third tendency information indicating how emotional or thinking the user's tendency is.

When propensity information is received from the user, it is determined whether the received propensity information is sufficient (S220).

If it is determined that the received disposition information is sufficient, the character coloring unit colors all or part of the character based on the received disposition information (S230). Here, the color applied to the character is divided into three color areas for RGB display. Included, one of the three color areas corresponds to the first tendency information, the other area of the three color areas that does not correspond to the first tendency information corresponds to the second tendency information, and one of the three color areas corresponds to the second tendency information. The remaining area corresponds to third tendency information.

If the received personality information is not sufficient, the character is maintained (S240).

The above-mentioned system 100 analyzes the user's tendency without a separate process such as a personality test, so the user's fatigue is low.

In addition, the above-described system 100 continuously collects the user's tendency information and reflects it on the character, so the reliability and accuracy of the tendency analysis results are high.

In addition, the above-described system 100 provides characters with similar tendencies to the user's, so the user's interest and affection for the character is high, and the user's immersion in the application is high.
