[0020] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail.

[0021] 1. Basic functions of the virtual space provision system As shown in FIG. 1, the virtual space provision system 100 can have a function for providing a virtual space, a certification function for maintaining order, and a client function. The virtual space may be three-dimensional, two-dimensional, or a three-dimensional virtual space constructed on the Internet (the so-called metaverse). The client function can be realized by known computer terminals and peripheral devices, and can be realized by a display means 52, a designation input means 54 that can input a designation for a display displayed on the display means 52 to request some kind of processing, and a display processing means 56 that processes the display on the display means 52. The virtual space provision system can realize its functions by one or more computers. When the virtual space provision system 100 is composed of multiple computers, they can be connected via a communication network 60.

[0022] 2.Configuration of the virtual space provision system The virtual space providing system 100 may include a virtual space generating means 10 that generates a virtual space, a display means 52 that displays the virtual space provided by the virtual space generating means 10, and a designation input means 54 that designates the portion displayed on the display means 52. The virtual space generating means 10 has a function of generating a subject or object with predetermined qualifications or authority within the virtual space. A virtual emblem 90 is assigned to the subject or object with the predetermined qualifications or authority, and the virtual emblem 90 may be generated based on information from a real emblem 80. Subjects or objects with predetermined qualifications or authority may include not only people, but also animals, characters, etc., and examples thereof include those belonging to public institutions such as police, security personnel, and doctors, as well as those with official qualifications.

[0023] Known input means can be adopted as the designation input means 54, and examples thereof include a mouse, a touch panel, and a microphone for voice input. The display means 52 can be a display or VR (Virtual Reality).

[0024] The virtual space providing system 100 may include display processing means 56. When a virtual emblem 90 is displayed on the display means 52 together with a person or object having predetermined qualifications or authority, and the virtual emblem 90 is designated by the designation input means 54, the display processing means 56 enlarges the virtual emblem 90 and displays it so that the three-dimensional shape of the virtual emblem 90 can be visually recognized. The display processing means 56 can rotate the virtual emblem 90 by a predetermined angle and display it on the display means 52 so that the three-dimensional shape of the virtual emblem 90 can be visually recognized.

[0025] The virtual space providing system 100 may include an emblem information storage means 30 that stores authenticity information of real emblems 80, and a determination means 20 that receives information about the real emblems 80 from the emblem information storage means 30 and determines whether the virtual emblem 90 was truly generated based on the information about the real emblem 80. The determination means 20 verifies the authenticity of the virtual emblem 90 and may have a built-in certification function. The emblem information storage means 30 may store information about the virtual emblem 90 and information about the real emblems 80. Image or video information of the real emblems 80 may be stored in advance in the emblem information storage means 30, or images of the real emblems 80 photographed by a camera may be provided to the determination means 20 sequentially.

[0026] The virtual emblem 90 can be generated based on the production data of the real emblem 80. The production data of the real emblem 80 can include NC data or data obtained by processing the NC data used to operate a machine tool when producing the real emblem 80. When the virtual emblem 90 is displayed on the display means 52 together with a person or object having predetermined qualifications or authority and the virtual emblem 90 is designated by the designation input means 54, the NC data or data obtained by processing the NC data is provided to the determination means 20 from the virtual space generation means 10, and the determination means 20 receives authenticity information of the real emblem 80 from the emblem information storage means 30 and compares the authenticity information of the real emblem 80 with the NC data or data obtained by processing the NC data provided from the virtual space generation means 10 to determine whether the real emblem 80 is authentic. If the judgment means 20 determines that the NC data or data processed from the NC data provided by the virtual space generation means 10 has been generated based on authentic information of the real emblem 80, it can send information to the virtual space generation means 10 indicating that it is authentic, and display on the display means 52 information indicating that the virtual emblem 90 assigned by the virtual space generation means 10 to a person or object with specified qualifications or authority in the virtual space is authentic.

[0027] The virtual space providing system 100 may include an external shape information acquisition means 40 that acquires external shape information of a real emblem 80. The external shape information acquisition means is not particularly limited as long as it can acquire external shape information of the real emblem 80, and may be, for example, a camera, an image dimension measuring device, or a three-dimensional measuring machine. When a virtual emblem 90 is displayed on the display means 52 together with a person or object with a predetermined qualification or authority, and the virtual emblem 90 is designated by the designation input means 54, the virtual space generating means 10 provides the NC data or data obtained by processing the NC data to the determination means 20, which can compare the emblem external shape information acquired by the external shape information acquisition means 40 with the NC data or data obtained by processing the NC data sent from the virtual space generating means 10 to determine whether the data is authentic. When the determination means 20 determines that the NC data or data processed from the NC data provided by the virtual space generation means 10 is authentic, it transmits information to that effect to the virtual space generation means 10, and the virtual space generation means 10 can display information to the effect that the virtual emblem 90 assigned to a person or object in the virtual space who has a predetermined qualification or authority is authentic. When the virtual emblem 90 is designated by the designation input means 54, the device may have a function of displaying the external shape information of the real emblem 80 acquired by the external shape information acquisition means 40 on the display means 52.

[0028] The external shape information acquisition means 40 may be a camera, and the external shape information may be an image or video of the real emblem 80. The external shape information acquisition means 40 may also be an image dimension measuring device or a three-dimensional measuring machine.

[0029] The actual emblem 80 can be stored in the storage 70 .

[0030] The program that makes the virtual space providing system 100 function can be stored in a storage device (not shown) of the virtual space providing system 100 or a computer. 3. Display mode of virtual emblem of virtual space provision system An example of the display mode of a virtual emblem 90 in a virtual space will be described with reference to Figure 2. A person or object to which an emblem has been assigned is displayed in the virtual space (S1). When the virtual emblem 90 is designated (S2), the virtual emblem 90 moves (S3). The virtual emblem 90 moves away from the person or object (S4), and the virtual emblem 90 rotates or turns (S5). A result indicating whether the virtual emblem 90 is authentic is displayed (S6).

[0031] Display examples for confirming whether the specified virtual emblem 90 is authentic will be described below with reference to FIGS.

[0032] When an avatar with a virtual emblem 90 appears as shown in FIG. 3, and the user wishes to verify whether the virtual emblem 90 is authentic, the user inputs a designation using the designation input means 54 (for example, by positioning the cursor and inputting a designation) as shown in FIG. 4. The virtual emblem 90 is enlarged and displayed (FIG. 5), with the center portion recessed and raised, and moving up and down in the direction perpendicular to the surface (FIGS. 6 to 10). The virtual emblem 90 separates from the avatar (FIGS. 11 to 12), and then only the virtual emblem 90 is displayed (FIG. 13). The virtual emblem 90 rotates 90 degrees clockwise (FIGS. 14 to 16), then 90 degrees counterclockwise (FIGS. 17 and 18), then appears facing forward, and the rotation stops (FIG. 19). After this, authenticity information for the virtual emblem 90 is displayed (FIG. 20). When the authenticity information is displayed, an image or video information of the real emblem 80 may also be displayed.

[0033] The part to which the virtual emblem 90 is attached is not particularly limited, but it can be any place where an emblem is applied in the real world; for example, if the avatar is a person, it can be attached to clothing or a hat near the arm or chest, and if the avatar is an animal, the virtual emblem 90 can be attached to, for example, a collar.

[0034] 4. How to verify the authenticity of a virtual emblem A method for verifying the authenticity of the virtual emblem 90 will now be described with reference to FIG.

[0035] The virtual space generation means 10 provides a virtual space to the client terminal 50 (S11). When the conditions for displaying an avatar with a virtual emblem 90 are met, the virtual space generation means 10 displays the avatar on the display means 52 of the client terminal 50 (S12). Whether an avatar with a virtual emblem 90 is displayed varies depending on the type of avatar; for example, a police officer may be displayed as a patrol officer. If the client wants to confirm whether the avatar is truly qualified or authorized, they touch the avatar's virtual emblem 90 to request confirmation (S13). When the virtual space generation means 10 receives the confirmation request from the client terminal 50, it requests confirmation of the virtual emblem 90 information from the determination means 20 and provides the virtual emblem 90 information (e.g., basic information for generating the virtual emblem 90) (S14). The determination means 20 then requests real emblem 80 information (e.g., NC data) from the emblem information storage means 30 (S15). If necessary, the emblem information storage means 30 requests the external shape information acquisition means 40 to take and provide an image or video of the real emblem 80 (S16), and the external shape information acquisition means 40 provides the image or video information of the real emblem 80 to the emblem information storage means 30 (S17). The emblem information storage means 30 provides the information of the real emblem 80 and, if necessary, the image or video of the real emblem 80 to the determination means 20 (S18). The determination means 20 converts the basic information for generating the virtual emblem 90 (for example, processing data for NC data) provided by the virtual emblem 90 generation means back into NC data, compares it with the NC data provided by the emblem information storage means 30, and determines whether the information on the virtual emblem 90 is authentic (S19). The result of this determination is provided to the virtual space generation means 10 (S20), and the virtual space generation means 10 provides the client terminal 50 with the result of determining whether the virtual emblem 90 is authentic and, if necessary, an image or video of the real emblem 80 (S21), and displays the result so that it can be understood on the display means 52 (S22). Communication can be carried out using encrypted communication.

[0036] 5. Description of the emblem and its difficulty to counterfeit (1) Description of the emblem that actually exists and the difficulty of counterfeiting it The actual emblem 80 is generally produced by filling a carving mold with thermosetting silicone resin, scraping off any unnecessary resin around it, placing the surface fabric on top, pressing it with a hot plate to harden and bond it, and then finishing by cutting out the outer shape. When creating the engraving mold, NC data is created based on a flat design. To achieve a three-dimensional, intricate design, the number of engraving blades and the depth of engraving for each design element are determined based on the thickness and angle of the engraving blade, and the shape of the actual emblem 80 is completed. Creating the NC data to create the shape of the actual emblem 80 requires specialized know-how that is difficult to acquire. The three-dimensional expression and shape of the actual emblem 80 produced through the above process are intricate, and the precision of the mold used ensures that it is difficult to counterfeit. Furthermore, the completed actual emblem 80 can be molded from colored silicone resin, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.

[0037] (2) Description of Virtual Emblem 90 and its difficulty to counterfeit The virtual emblem 90 is created using the same NC data as that created when the real emblem 80 was manufactured, so there is a one-to-one correspondence between the real emblem 80 and the virtual emblem 90.

[0038] To create images and videos of virtual emblem 90, first use the simulation function on an NC data production system to create 3D shape (three-dimensional shape) solid data from the NC data created when manufacturing real emblem 80, and it can be given the same aesthetic qualities as real emblem 80. Next, the 3D shape solid data with NC data of virtual emblem 90, which has the same aesthetic qualities as real emblem 80, can be converted into 3D shape solid photo image data and video data without NC data, and virtual emblem 90 can be completed. By converting the virtual emblem 90 into 3D stereoscopic photographic image data and video data without NC data, it is possible to prevent the theft of NC data from the 3D stereoscopic photographic image and video of the virtual emblem 90, making counterfeiting difficult.

[0039] (3) How to generate a virtual emblem When creating the Virtual Emblem 90 data, the information contained in the Master Emblem is included. The virtual emblem 90 is attached to the uniform of a uniformed avatar and can be given the function of enlarging when touched by a civilian avatar. The enlarged image can be created using the NC data of the real emblem 80. It has the same aesthetic quality as the real emblem 80 and is difficult to counterfeit. Furthermore, as a two-step authentication, the master emblem can be stored at an emblem manufacturer, etc., and when requested from the metaverse, a video can be captured and displayed next to the enlarged image of the virtual emblem 90 for comparison.

[0040] 6. Effects of the embodiment According to this embodiment, for example, the following effects can be obtained. (1) The authenticity of the virtual emblem 90, which is backed by a realistic, real emblem 80, can be proven. (2) By rotating the virtual emblem 90, the virtual emblem 90 can be recognized from multiple viewpoints. (3) The virtual emblem 90 is generated based on the production data of the real emblem 80, and the production data of the real emblem 80 is stored in the emblem information storage means 30. The judgment unit can determine whether the virtual emblem 90 is authentic by comparing the production data used as the basis for generating the virtual emblem 90 with the production data of the real emblem 80 stored in the emblem information storage means 30. This makes it possible to realize a system that guarantees that the virtual emblem 90 in the virtual space is authentic or identical to the real emblem 80. As a result, the reliability of the virtual emblem 90 can be increased. This allows for reliable responses to the acts and omissions of those with the qualifications or authority to whom the virtual emblem 90 is assigned, and allows for reliable service provision. From another perspective, a real emblem can serve as a standard for the virtual emblem 90. (4) Because the authenticity of the virtual emblem 90 can be verified on the system, it is possible to more accurately identify false qualified persons and authorized persons, which contributes to maintaining public order and order in the virtual space. It also makes it possible to create a safe and secure virtual space.

[0041] 7. Significance and specific examples of this embodiment It is conceivable that social problems occurring in the real world will occur in the metaverse. Specifically, these include issues that violate consumer safety and security, fraud, harassment, and violence. The inventors of this application came up with the idea that these problems need to be resolved by avatars with qualifications and authority. It is conceivable that avatars that appear in metaverse applications will include, for example, official shop clerks, store managers, and security guards; facility staff, directors, and security guards at tourist facilities built by local governments; city officials and security guards at local governments; and entrance and exit managers and security guards at concert venues. This invention relates to a digital emblem that ordinary avatars participating in applications use to check whether these avatars are official avatars deployed by the application builder or are impersonating ordinary avatars.

[0042] Verification of the authenticity of avatars can be achieved using digital certificates such as VC (Verifiable Credentials), SBT, and eKYC. When verifying the authenticity of avatars such as store clerks, facility staff, employees, and security guards in the metaverse space, displaying the digital certificate issued by the application in text can be cumbersome in terms of how it is displayed and read. Furthermore, there are difficulties in determining when to authenticate security guards and other such avatars.

[0043] This embodiment is designed to prove the authenticity of an avatar such as a security guard without displaying it as a text certificate, but rather by having the security guard in the metaverse space wear an emblem that is worn by the security guard in the real world as a digital emblem, and using a digital image of the digital emblem to prove authenticity.

[0044] Furthermore, we thought that by having security guards and others prove their authenticity by touching a digital emblem, it would be possible to do so intuitively. By using a digital emblem to prove authenticity, it is possible to prove authenticity using an image, eliminating the need to read text. Furthermore, touching the digital emblem allows for quick proof of authenticity. This has the effect of enabling proof of authenticity that is unique to the Metaverse space.

[0045] As a specific example, when a regular person avatar participating in the application touches a digital emblem of a security guard or the like, the emblem appears to pop out from the security guard avatar and can be observed continuously from a frontal (0-degree) image to a sideways (90-degree) image. The final 90-degree image allows the emblem to have a three-dimensional appearance, enabling higher visibility.

[0046] Alternatively, verification can be performed by using several images taken from different angles. The digital emblem contains a digital certificate such as a VC, making it impossible to forge the digital emblem. If necessary, the digital certificate can be displayed by touching the emblem three times, for example.

[0047] This embodiment can be modified in various ways within the scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
