SHARED VIRTUAL SPACE SIMPLY TWO-DIMENSIONAL INTERFACE REALIZING METHOD, CLIENT SYSTEM WITH ITS INTERFACE AND STORING MEDIUM HOUSING ITS INTERFACE PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a simplified two-dimensional interface capable of utilizing a communication module for a three-dimensional virtual space communication service as it is by consisting of a step, etc., simply expressing the area of a logical space as a two-dimensional area corresponding to the view point of a user in some axial direction. ;SOLUTION: A client system 1 is connected with a center equipment 2 through a network 3. The client system 1 consists of a communication control part 11 connected with the network 3 and executing communication control, a communication module 13, a position coordinate conversion part 15, a message control part 17 and a space plotting part 19. Then the part 15 converts the dimension of the three-dimensional area of individual logical space obtained from the module 13 to a dimension suited to a two-dimensional area displaying space on the client system to transfer to the part 19. The part 19 simply expresses the area of the logical space as a two-dimensional area corresponding to the view point of the user in some axial direction.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1999,JPO
