Abstract

There is provided a data processing method including displaying three-dimensional scan data, and changing display of the three-dimensional scan data in response to a remote control signal received from a scanner, wherein the remote control signal includes a signal for controlling a virtual camera obtaining an image of the three-dimensional scan data.

Claims (47)

1. A data processing method comprising:

displaying three-dimensional scan data; and

changing display of the three-dimensional scan data in response to a remote control signal received from a scanner,

wherein the remote control signal includes a signal for controlling a virtual camera obtaining an image of the three-dimensional scan data,

wherein the signal for controlling the virtual camera controls the virtual camera to operate in an opposite direction of a user input signal received through the scanner, and

wherein the changing of the display of the three-dimensional scan data comprises:

controlling the virtual camera to operate in the opposite direction of the user input signal received through the scanner, and

capturing an image of the three-dimensional scan data with the virtual camera and outputting the captured image.

2. The data processing method of claim 1 , wherein the remote control signal further includes a signal instructing to output a remote control mode screen.

3. The data processing method of claim 2 , further comprising outputting a remote scanning screen in response to receiving a scan start signal from the scanner.

4. The data processing method of claim 3 , wherein the remote scanning screen includes the three-dimensional scan data and a live view image, and the live view image is a two-dimensional image of an object obtained by the scanner.

5. The data processing method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving the remote control signal from the scanner,

wherein the receiving of the remote control signal from the scanner includes receiving, as the remote control signal, a user input signal for selecting a control button provided in the scanner.

6. The data processing method of claim 2 , wherein the remote control mode screen is different from a basic mode screen in at least one of a coordinate system, an output data type, and an output data size.

7. The data processing method of claim 2 , further comprising receiving a signal instructing to output a basic mode screen,

wherein the receiving of the signal instructing to output the basic mode screen includes at least one of receiving a user input signal for selecting to output a basic mode of a menu, output on the remote control mode screen through a control button provided in the scanner, while outputting the remote control mode screen, and sensing an input signal by an input unit of a data processing device.

8. The data processing method of claim 2 , further comprising:

outputting a remote scan operation selection screen in response to receiving a user input signal by long pressing a scan button provided in the scanner from the scanner; and

changing a scan operation according to a user input signal through a control button provided in the scanner,

wherein the changing of the scan operation includes completing data generated in a previous scan operation.

9. The data processing method of claim 2 , further comprising outputting a remote scan data view screen in response to receiving a scan end signal from the scanner.

10. The data processing method of claim 9 , further comprising receiving, from the scanner, a user input signal for selecting a control type for the three-dimensional scan data included in the remote scan data view screen,

wherein the control type for the three-dimensional scan data includes at least one of movement, rotation, and size change of the three-dimensional scan data.

11. The data processing method of claim 1 , wherein the signal for controlling the virtual camera includes a selected control type and the user input signal corresponding to an input of a control button provided in the scanner.

12. A data processing device comprising:

a display;

a communication unit configured to transmit and receive information to and from a scanner; and

a processor configured to execute one or more instructions,

wherein the processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to:

receive a user input signal through the scanner,

display three-dimensional scan data through the display, and

change the display of the three-dimensional scan data in response to a remote control signal received from the scanner,

wherein the remote control signal includes a signal for controlling a virtual camera obtaining an image of the three-dimensional scan data,

wherein the signal for controlling the virtual camera controls the virtual camera to operate in an opposite direction of the user input signal, and

wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the virtual camera to operate in the opposite direction of the user input signal,

capture an image of the three-dimensional scan data using the virtual camera, and

output the captured image.

13. A scanner comprising:

a communication unit configured to transmit and receive information to and from a data processing device;

a user input unit; and

a processor configured to execute one or more instructions,

wherein the processor is further configured to execute the one or more instructions to:

transmit a remote control signal corresponding to a user input through the user input unit to the data processing device, and

control the data processing device to change display of three-dimensional scan data,

wherein the remote control signal includes a signal for controlling a virtual camera to obtain an image of the three-dimensional scan data, and

wherein the signal for controlling the virtual camera controls the virtual camera to operate in an opposite direction of the user input signal received through the user input unit.
