Avatar Display System Selective Posture Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing avatar displaying systems in video conferences always follow the head movement of a user without the option to selectively share head or line of sight, limiting user control and interaction.
Innovation Solution
An avatar displaying system that includes a first terminal for detecting user posture information, such as head direction or line of sight, and a second terminal for generating and displaying an avatar image in a virtual reality space, with a sharing permission/prohibition determining mechanism based on user attribute information to control the sharing of this information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the avatar always follows the user's head movement, then the avatar accurately represents the user's posture, but the user cannot selectively control which information is shared
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the avatar's behavior based on user attributes and sharing permissions. The avatar can switch between following head movement, following line of sight, or following a predetermined pattern, allowing flexible control over information sharing while maintaining accurate representation when needed
Solution Approach 2:
Different parts of the avatar can have different following behaviors. The avatar's head movement can be synchronized with the user's head movement while the avatar's body follows a different pattern or remains stationary, allowing selective sharing of specific information
2Productivity
If the system transmits user posture information to all users, then everyone can see the avatar's movement, but users who should not see the information cannot block it
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where users can set their own preferences and attributes, and the system responds by adjusting information sharing accordingly. Users can control whether their posture information is shared and under what conditions, creating a feedback loop that balances efficiency with user control
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of information sharing based on user attributes such as experience level, relationship with other users, or explicit permissions. This allows the system to automatically adjust what information is shared without requiring complex manual control from each user

AI summary
An avatar displaying system capable of selectively sharing user posture information from a first terminal to a second terminal. The first terminal includes a user posture detecting unit configured to detect user posture information. The first terminal further includes a sharing permission/prohibition determining unit configured to determine whether or not to share the user posture information of the first user with the second user. The first terminal further includes a transmission unit configured to transmit the user posture information of the first user to the second terminal in response to a determination to share the user posture information of the first user with the second user. A second terminal includes an image generating unit configured to generate the avatar image representing the first user based on the user posture information of the first user. The second terminal further includes a display unit configured to display the avatar image.
