Abstract

Disclosed is a device and method for representing HTML elements having three-dimensional (3D) information on web, the device including a virtual space providing unit configured to provide a 3D virtual space that is displayed on the web, and an HTML element placing unit configured to place an HTML element that is displayed in a 3D layout on the 3D virtual space, based on an HTML document.

Claims

1. A device for representing HTML elements having three-dimensional (3D) information on web, the device comprising:

a virtual space providing unit configured to provide a 3D virtual space that is displayed on the web; and

an HTML element placing unit configured to place an HTML element that is displayed in a 3D layout on the 3D virtual space, based on an HTML document.

2. The device for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 1, further comprising:

a scene configuring unit configured to render an image captured by a virtual camera in the 3D virtual space to configure a 3D scene on a web browser.

3. The device for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 1, wherein in the case where the HTML element is in multiple numbers, each HTML element is displayed in the same 3D layout.

4. The device for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 1, wherein the HTML element includes at least one of a text, an image, a video, a web page, and a uniform resource identifier (URI).

5. The device for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 1, wherein the HTML element is defined using a semantic schema enabling web search.

6. The device for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 1, wherein the virtual space providing unit provides a 3D virtual object in the 3D virtual space.

7. The device for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 6, wherein the HTML element placing unit associates the 3D layout of the HTML element with the 3D virtual object.

8. The device for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 7, wherein the HTML element placing unit moves (transforms) the relative position and orientation of the HTML element in the 3D virtual space with respect to the 3D virtual object in the 3D virtual space.

9. The device for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 8, wherein depth information is associated between the HTML element and the 3D virtual object in the 3D virtual space.

10. The device for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 1, wherein the HTML document is written in accordance with the HTML 5 standard.

21. The device for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 7, wherein the HTML element placing unit searches for an HTML element that references an id value of the 3D virtual object, searches for an attribute value of the 3D virtual object in the found HTML element, and associates the 3D virtual object with the 3D layout of the HTML element using a tag associated with the attribute value in the found HTML element.

11. A method for representing HTML elements having three-dimensional (3D) information on web, the method comprising:

providing, by a virtual space providing unit, a 3D virtual space that is displayed on the web; and

placing, by an HTML element placing unit, an HTML element that is displayed in a 3D layout on the 3D virtual space, based on an HTML document.

12. The method for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 11, further comprising:

rendering, by a scene configuring unit, an image captured by a virtual camera in the 3D virtual space to configure a 3D scene on a web browser.

13. The method for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 11, wherein in the case where the HTML element is in multiple numbers, each HTML element is displayed in the same 3D layout.

14. The method for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 11, wherein the HTML element includes at least one of a text, an image, a video, a web page, and a uniform resource identifier (URI).

15. The method for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 11, wherein the HTML element is defined using a semantic schema enabling web search.

16. The method for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 11, wherein the providing of the 3D virtual space that is displayed on the web comprises providing a 3D virtual object in the 3D virtual space.

17. The method for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 16, wherein the placing of the HTML element on the 3D virtual space comprises associating the 3D layout of the HTML element with the 3D virtual object.

18. The method for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 17, wherein the placing of the HTML element on the 3D virtual space comprises moving (transforming) the relative position and orientation of the HTML element in the 3D virtual space with respect to the 3D virtual object in the 3D virtual space.

19. The method for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 18, wherein depth information is associated between the HTML element and the 3D virtual object in the 3D virtual space.

20. The method for representing HTML elements having 3D information on web according to claim 11, wherein the HTML document is written in accordance with the HTML 5 standard.
