Solution Overview

Problem

Existing metaverse systems do not allow users to perform enterprise-related activities, such as report generation, while remaining within the virtual environment due to the separation between computing systems for the metaverse and real-world enterprises.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for generating location-aware reports within a metaverse environment by identifying the avatar's location, processing it for compatibility with enterprise systems, and outputting relevant reports directly to the user interface without leaving the metaverse application.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users generate reports outside the metaverse environment using separate enterprise systems, then report generation functionality is available, but user experience is degraded and workflow is interrupted

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvereport generation accessibilityVSAvoidtime to exit and switch systems

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the metaverse environment with enterprise reporting capabilities by integrating the reporting service directly into the metaverse platform. The location-aware report generating service receives requests from users within the metaverse, identifies avatar locations, and generates reports without requiring users to exit the virtual environment, thus combining two previously separate systems into one unified platform

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The metaverse platform is extended to perform multiple functions including both virtual exploration and enterprise reporting. The reporting service acts as a multi-functional component that handles location identification, data collection, report generation, and delivery all within the metaverse environment, allowing the system to serve both immersive virtual experiences and traditional enterprise needs

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the metaverse system integrates enterprise reporting capabilities, then seamless in-virtual report generation is achieved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvein-virtual enterprise activity capabilityVSAvoidintegration architecture complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The reporting functionality is segmented into a separate location-aware report generating service that operates independently within the metaverse platform. This service is further divided into distinct components: location identification module, data collection module, report generation module, and delivery module. This segmentation allows the complex functionality to be managed through modular, independently deployable components

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary components to bridge the metaverse and enterprise reporting systems. The location-aware report generating service acts as an intermediary that translates avatar locations into meaningful enterprise data queries. Additional intermediaries include the location service that maps virtual positions to real-world coordinates, and the data collection service that retrieves enterprise data based on location parameters

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If avatar location is precisely identified and processed, then location-aware report accuracy is improved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveavatar location accuracyVSAvoidlocation processing complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing location mappings between the metaverse virtual coordinate system and the real-world coordinate system. Location services are pre-configured with knowledge of enterprise locations, and the reporting service is pre-equipped with templates and data collection protocols. This preliminary setup reduces the complexity of real-time processing when actual report generation occurs

AI summary

Systems and processes for generating location-aware reports corresponding to a location of an avatar in a metaverse world are provided. In a method for generating location-aware reports, a virtual location of an avatar in a metaverse world associated with a metaverse application is retrieved. The virtual location may be processed to generate a processed virtual location that is compatible with an enterprise system, and a reporting table is populated in a backend of the enterprise system to generate a report based on the processed virtual location of the avatar to generate a location-aware report. The location-aware report is output for presentation to a user interface of the metaverse application, such as an avatar mode user interface, enabling a user to view the report while in an avatar mode of the metaverse application.
