Abstract

A system manages virtual content in association with a purchaser of the virtual content, as the virtual content management, when a code corresponding to the virtual content is detected by a terminal, further associates a feature amount acquired from a real space by the terminal with the virtual content, and controls the terminal to project the virtual content into a field of view of a user of the terminal.

Claims (19)

1 . A content management system comprising:

a management table that manages virtual content;

one or more memories storing instructions; and

one or more processors executing the instructions causing the content management system to:

receive a request for an anchor registration for disposing the virtual content from a terminal;

register a temporary anchor information associated with the virtual content in the management table;

transmit a response that includes code data to the terminal; and

receive an update request that includes a feature amount of a real space by an augmented reality (AR) client or a mixed reality (MR) client,

wherein the feature amount of the real space is acquired when the virtual content is disposed in the real space using a printed matter of the code data received by the terminal,

wherein the acquired feature amount is stored in the management table instead of the temporary anchor information.

2 . The content management system according to claim 1 , wherein the virtual content is a virtual pet that a purchaser of the virtual content is able to keep via the terminal.

3 . A content management method using one or more memory storing instructions and one or more processors executing the instructions, causing the content management method comprising:

providing a management table that manages virtual content;

receiving a request for an anchor registration for disposing virtual content from a terminal;

registering a temporary anchor information associated with the virtual content in the management table;

transmitting a response that includes code data to the terminal; and

receiving an update request that includes a feature amount of a real space by an augmented reality (AR) client or a mixed reality (MR) client,

wherein the feature amount of the real space is acquired when the virtual content is disposed in the real space using a printed matter of the code data received by the terminal, and

wherein the acquired feature amount is stored in the management table instead of the temporary anchor information.
