Abstract

There is provided a method for supporting experience sharing between users. The method includes the steps of: acquiring spatial information on a shared content for experience sharing; determining a virtual space in which the shared content is to be provided to a user, with reference to the spatial information on the shared content and time point information associated with the user; and in response to the user creating an authored content in the virtual space, sharing the authored content with respect to a location matched with a location where the authored content is created in the virtual space.

Claims (21)

1. A method for supporting experience sharing between users, the method comprising the steps of:

acquiring spatial information on a shared content for experience sharing;

determining a virtual space in which the shared content is to be provided to a user, with reference to the spatial information on the shared content and time point information associated with the user; and

in response to the user creating an authored content in the virtual space, sharing the authored content with respect to a location matched with a location where the authored content is created in the virtual space,

wherein the authored content is capable of being shared to another user present in the virtual space at a time point different from the time point associated with the user, and

wherein in response to the virtual space changing in a time-serial manner with reference to the time point information associated with the user, each authored content is capable of being sequentially shared in the virtual space to the another user according to a time point when each authored content is created by the user.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the virtual space is created with reference to the spatial information on the shared content, and corrected with reference to the time point information associated with the user.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein at least one component of the virtual space is corrected with reference to the time point information associated with the user.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the time point information associated with the user corresponds to time point information at the time when the shared content is provided to the user or time point information specified by the user.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the authored content is selectively shared with reference to the time point information associated with the user.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored thereon a computer program for executing the method of claim 1 .

7. A system for supporting experience sharing between users, the system comprising:

a spatial information acquisition unit configured to acquire spatial information on a shared content for experience sharing;

a virtual space determination unit configured to determine a virtual space in which the shared content is to be provided to a user, with reference to the spatial information on the shared content and time point information associated with the user; and

a sharing management unit configured to, in response to the user creating an authored content in the virtual space, share the authored content with respect to a location matched with a location where the authored content is created in the virtual space,

wherein the authored content is capable of being shared to another user present in the virtual space at a time point different from the time point associated with the user, and

wherein in response to the virtual space changing in a time-serial manner with reference to the time point information associated with the user, each authored content is capable of being sequentially shared in the virtual space to the another user according to a time point when each authored content is created by the user.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the virtual space is created with reference to the spatial information on the shared content, and corrected with reference to the time point information associated with the user.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein at least one component of the virtual space is corrected with reference to the time point information associated with the user.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the time point information associated with the user corresponds to time point information at the time when the shared content is provided to the user or time point information specified by the user.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the authored content is selectively shared with reference to the time point information associated with the user.
