Solution Overview

Problem

Current virtual space personalization is limited to user-selected customizations and in-space actions, lacking individualized experiences due to the absence of unique identifiers.

Innovation Solution

The use of biometric samples, such as fingerprints, to derive individualized seed values for generating pseudorandom numbers, which determine personalized aspects of the virtual space, including visual, auditory, and behavioral characteristics, providing inherently unique experiences for each user.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If biometric samples are used to derive individualized seed values for generating pseudorandom numbers, then personalization uniqueness is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization uniquenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by capturing biometric samples and deriving individualized seed values before the user enters the virtual space. This pre-processing of personalization data eliminates the need for complex real-time generation during virtual space operations, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high personalization uniqueness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces pseudorandom number generators as intermediary components that transform biometric data into personalization parameters. This intermediary layer simplifies the system architecture by decoupling the biometric authentication module from the virtual space rendering module, making the system more manageable despite the increased personalization capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If biometric authentication is implemented for virtual space personalization, then user identification accuracy is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser identification accuracyVSAvoidaccess convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements multi-functionality by using a single biometric authentication mechanism that simultaneously achieves precise user identification and maintains operational convenience. The biometric sample serves multiple purposes: authentication, personalization seed generation, and consistent virtual space customization, eliminating the need for separate procedures and thereby maintaining ease of operation despite high accuracy requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Stability of the object's composition

If pseudorandom number generation based on biometric seeds is used, then personalization consistency is improved, but computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization consistencyVSAvoidcomputational energy
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs pseudorandom number generation as a preliminary action during the authentication phase, before the user enters the virtual space. By pre-generating personalization parameters based on biometric seeds, the system ensures consistent personalization across sessions while reducing computational energy requirements during actual virtual space operations, as the heavy computational work is completed in advance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A system and method for providing personalization of a virtual space based on an individualized seed value. The system may provide personalization within one or more instances of a virtual space based on an individualized seed value derived from one or more biometric samples (e.g., a fingerprint) and/other individual identifiers. One or more values may be obtained and used as the individual seed value to generate pseudorandom numbers. Personalizations affecting characteristics of one or more aspects of the virtual space may be determined based on the pseudorandom numbers generated. Presentation of the personalizations determined may be effectuated in on or more instances of the virtual space.
