  • Method for exchanging a 3D view between a first and a second user
    Patent number: 7849322
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for exchanging a 3D view between a first and a second user having both a piece of software for creating 3D views. A view is created by the first user. This view comprises an encrypted object, the first user being licensed for the encrypted object. This view is stored in a file by the first user. The encrypted object is encrypted and the result of this encryption is stored as encrypted data in the file. According to the invention, non-encrypted data defining the encrypted object is stored in the file in parallel to the encrypted data relating to the encrypted object. This non-encrypted data can be read by the second user, so that the second user can see the encrypted object if he has acquired a license for this object, or a basic representation of the encrypted object if he has not acquired a license.
