Avatar Synchronization Protocol Across Applications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies lack a standardized protocol to synchronize avatars across different applications, resulting in inefficient use of computing and networking resources and a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A service system that enables an avatar from one application to visit another by authenticating clients, establishing a data channel for communication, and synchronizing avatar data, including volumetric reconstruction and foveated equirectangular view data, between applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If avatars are synchronized across different applications without a standardized protocol, then avatar features and appearance are maintained, but computing and networking resources are consumed inefficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal avatar data format and standardized protocol that enables avatars to function across multiple different applications. The avatar data structure uses common file formats (JSON, XML, CSV) and standardized data models that can be interpreted by any application supporting the protocol, eliminating the need for application-specific avatar implementations and reducing redundant processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters of avatar data representation by adopting standardized data formats and models. By transforming avatar data into a universal parameter structure with defined schemas for appearance, behavior, and properties, the system enables efficient transmission and interpretation across applications without requiring complex conversion processes.
2Ease of operation
If avatars are synchronized across different applications, then user experience is enhanced, but device complexity increases due to lack of standardized protocol
Solution Approach 1:
The standardized protocol provides universal interfaces and data structures that simplify the user experience while reducing system complexity. Applications can interact with avatars through common methods and data formats, eliminating the need for users to learn application-specific avatar interactions and reducing the complexity of implementing avatar synchronization in each application.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the avatar system into standardized components: data models, file formats, transmission protocols, and interaction interfaces. This segmentation allows each component to be independently defined and implemented, reducing overall system complexity while enabling flexible composition across different applications.
3Adaptability or versatility
If custom avatar implementations are used in each application, then specific application requirements are met, but resource consumption increases and avatar features are lost during cross-application transfer
Solution Approach 1:
The standardized avatar data model provides universal structures that can accommodate various application-specific requirements through configurable parameters and extensible schemas. Applications can customize avatar behavior and appearance within the standardized framework without requiring custom implementations, reducing redundant processing and resource consumption.
4Reliability
If custom avatar implementations are used in each application, then specific features are maintained, but avatar synchronization across applications becomes impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The standardized protocol enables avatars to maintain their features while being transferable across applications. The universal data models and formats ensure that avatar information is preserved during transmission, while the standardized interfaces enable any application supporting the protocol to interpret and render the avatar data correctly.
Data Source
AI summary
A device may authenticate a first application provided to a first client and a second application provided to a second client. The device may receive a communication initiated by the first client via the first application, and may provide the communication to the second application. The device may enable the communication to be answered by the second client via the second application, and may establish a data channel for the communication. The device may enable a request to grant access to the second application as an avatar to be provided to the second application, and may enable the request to be accepted by the second client via the second application. The device may enable the first application to provide avatar volumetric reconstruction data and an avatar position and rotation to the second application, and may enable the second application to provide foveated equirectangular data to the first application.
