3D Network Site Immersive Navigation and Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current network sites, particularly Internet sites, lack immersive and intuitive navigation methods that allow genuine user engagement and enhanced security, as they require mouse clicks for navigation and do not provide a global overview or secure access to content.
Innovation Solution
A method for building three-dimensional network sites using 3D modeling and real-time 3D software to create navigable spaces and objects, allowing users to navigate using steering mechanisms like joysticks or motion sensors, and incorporating an access table for secure and ergonomic navigation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional two-dimensional page-based navigation is used, then ease of operation is maintained through simple mouse clicks, but user immersion and global overview capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the traditional two-dimensional web page structure into a three-dimensional virtual space where users can navigate using spatial movements (forward, backward, left, right) instead of clicking links. This dimensional transformation enables global overview capability and enhanced user immersion while maintaining operational simplicity through intuitive directional controls.
2Adaptability or versatility
If three-dimensional virtual spaces are implemented, then user immersion and global overview are improved, but device complexity and navigation control difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the navigation control system to be universally compatible with multiple device types including mice, keyboards, joysticks, motion sensors, and touch screens. This multi-functionality approach allows the same 3D navigation framework to operate across diverse hardware platforms without requiring device-specific implementations, thereby reducing overall system complexity.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional page-based sites are used, then security implementation is simplified, but secure access control and selective content protection deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements security at the local object level within the 3D virtual space, allowing different security policies and access controls to be applied to specific navigation objects, content areas, or spatial regions. This granular security approach enables fine-grained access control where different user groups can have different levels of access to different parts of the virtual site, enhancing security reliability while maintaining implementation feasibility.
4Ease of operation
If mouse-based navigation is used, then ease of operation is maintained, but adaptability to new media devices like connected TVs and game consoles deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal navigation control system that abstracts the underlying control mechanisms from specific hardware devices. The system accepts various input types (directional key presses, joystick movements, motion sensor data, touch gestures) and translates them into unified 3D navigation commands, enabling seamless operation across traditional computers, connected televisions, game consoles, and other new media devices.

AI summary
A method for producing network sites, in particular websites, offers real immersion in the sites (in the manner of video games) with intuitive and fluid navigation that does not require a means for directing the avatar, allows selective referencing by a search engine of objects contained on the site, as well as providing improved access security. A simple mechanical control means (arrow keys on a keyboard, mouse without click buttons, joystick formed by a handle on a base with push buttons) or virtual control means (arrow-based computer representation, system for the detection of a movement of the hand, eye, etc., accelerometer remote control, etc.) can be used to direct the avatar. The method allows the movements of the avatar to be interpreted, such as a simple walk through the site or a command to navigate to another space on the site (same URL) or to another site (different URL).
