Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a VR video management method and system for enabling simultaneous training of multiple users. The present disclosure comprises steps in which: a manager terminal receives a plurality of VR videos from an operating server; the manager terminal is connected to a plurality of HMD terminals; the manager terminal plays back at least one of the plurality of VR videos received from the operating server; the VR video played back in the manager terminal is synchronized and played back in the plurality of HMD terminals; and the manager terminal generates a time control signal in the VR video according to a preset cycle.

Claims (12)

1. A VR video management method for enabling simultaneous training of multiple users, the method comprising:

receiving, by a manager terminal, a plurality of VR videos from an operating server;

connecting the manager terminal to a plurality of HMD terminals;

playing back, by the manager terminal, at least one of the plurality of VR videos received from the operating server;

synchronizing and playing back, in the plurality of HMD terminals, the at least one of the plurality of VR videos played back in the manager terminal;

generating, by the manager terminal, a time control signal in the at least one of the plurality of VR videos according to a preset cycle;

simultaneously transmitting, by the manager terminal, the generated time control signal to the plurality of HMD terminals; and

adjusting, by the plurality of HMD terminals, a VR video time according to a received time control signal, wherein:

when a touch is recognized on a display unit of the manager terminal, coordinates of an area where the touch of the manager terminal is recognized are transmitted to the plurality of HMD terminals; and the touch recognition area corresponding to a received coordinates is highlighted in a video displayed on the plurality of HMD terminals;

the plurality of VR videos are organized in the order of possible accident scenes at a construction site, causes of disasters, and preventive measures;

the manager terminal selects and plays back one of the plurality of VR videos; the at least one of the plurality of VR videos is played back, paused, and terminated in batches in each of the HMD terminals; and the manager terminal checks the remaining battery capacity and connection status of each of the plurality of HMD terminals, sets categories including construction, service, and manufacturing, and lists up and selectively plays back videos corresponding to a classified categories; and

on the display unit of the manager terminal, the at least one of the plurality of VR videos is illustrated at an upper end; an icon for controlling the at least one of the plurality of VR videos is illustrated at a right upper end; at a left lower end of the VR video, categories including images, videos, construction videos, service videos, and manufacturing videos are selected; at a lower end, the plurality of VR videos for each category are illustrated; and a right lower end of the at least one of the plurality of VR videos illustrates an HMD DASHBOARD, which allows checking of the remaining battery capacity and connection status of the plurality of HMD terminals, as well as turning off power, readjusting a time, and controlling an audio volume.
