Avatar Action Logging for Content Unity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing content provision systems do not effectively enhance the convenience of content viewing users by providing a seamless experience of unity with other viewers, particularly in virtual spaces.
Innovation Solution
A content provision system that includes a processor configured to arrange a first avatar in a virtual space, generate action log information recording the avatar's actions, reproduce the content with the avatar's actions for a second user, and display specific actions performed by the first avatar at the appropriate timing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If avatar actions are reproduced for second users, then sense of unity with other users is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by recording avatar actions and generating action log information during the first user's content viewing session. This pre-recorded data is then reused when second users view the same content, eliminating the need to track real-time interactions and reducing system complexity while maintaining the sense of unity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates copies of the first avatar's actions through action log information and reproduces these copied actions for second users. Instead of maintaining complex real-time synchronization systems, the patent uses information copying to preserve avatar behaviors across different viewing sessions, simplifying the overall system architecture.
2Ease of operation
If specific action information is recorded and displayed, then user convenience is improved, but information processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only specific action information from the complete avatar action data, separating critical interaction details from routine movements. By identifying and recording only the meaningful actions (such as selecting items, opening menus, or key interactions), the system reduces information processing load while still providing sufficient guidance to improve user convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The action log information applies local quality by differentiating between various types of avatar actions and recording them with appropriate detail levels. Critical actions are captured with comprehensive information, while routine actions are simplified or omitted, optimizing the balance between user convenience and processing requirements.
Data Source
AI summary
A content provision system related to one embodiment includes at least one processor. The processor is configured to: generate action log information that records action information indicating an action of the first avatar operated while the first user views the content and specific action information indicating a timing of performance of a specific action by the first avatar and a detail of the specific action; reproduce the content along with an action of the first avatar based on the action information contained in the action log information, when a second user views the content after the first user viewed the content; and refer to the specific action information contained in the action log information and thereby arrange a display object that indicates the detail of the specific action in association with the first avatar at the timing of performance of the specific action by the first avatar being reproduced.
