Device and method for processing virtual worlds

摘要

A device and method for processing virtual worlds. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, information which is measured from the real world using characteristics of a sensor is transferred to a virtual world, to thereby implement an interaction between the real world and the virtual world. The disclosed device and method for processing virtual worlds involve selectively transferring information, from among the measured information, which is different from previously measured information. The disclosed device and method for processing virtual worlds involve transferring the entire measured information in the event that the measured information is significantly different from the previously measured information and for selectively transferring information, from among the measured information, which is different from the measured information in the event that the difference is not significant.

1. A virtual world processing apparatus, comprising:
a sensor configured to output information relating to sensed information; and an encoder configured to output metadata of a binary format, based on the output information, wherein the encoder outputs the metadata of the binary format that is encoded into first metadata or second metadata, depending on an operating mode, the first metadata comprises items in the information, and the second metadata comprises an item of which a value is different from a previous value of the item, among the items in the information, the encoder outputting the metadata into the first metadata in response to the operating mode being a normal mode in which all received information is outputted, and the encoder outputting the metadata into the second metadata in response to the operating mode being an update mode in which only a portion and not all of the received information is outputted.
