Solution Overview

Problem

Existing extended reality technologies provide limited and stilted interactions with celebrity and legacy avatars, failing to dynamically adapt to user preferences and contextual needs.

Innovation Solution

The use of natural language processing and artificial intelligence to control avatars, allowing them to interact dynamically with users by aligning their behavior with user expectations, using images, audio, and biographical data of the individuals they represent.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional extended reality technologies are used for celebrity and legacy avatar interactions, then the system implementation is simpler, but the interaction quality is limited and stilted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an AI processing system as an intermediary between the user and the avatar. This intermediary layer handles complex natural language processing, preference matching, and contextual understanding, allowing the avatar to deliver high-quality interactions without making the entire XR system inherently more complex. The AI intermediary translates user inputs into meaningful avatar responses dynamically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional scripted or pre-programmed interaction mechanisms with AI-driven natural language processing. Instead of mechanical if-then response systems, the avatar uses AI to understand, interpret, and generate responses based on user preferences, contextual needs, and dynamic conversation flow, significantly improving interaction quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic adaptation to user preferences is implemented, then the adaptability improves, but the computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to user preferencesVSAvoidcomputational energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preference matching and contextual analysis in advance by acquiring user preferences beforehand and matching them to appropriate avatar personalities and response styles. This preliminary processing allows the system to adapt dynamically during interaction without requiring intensive real-time computation for every user input, thereby reducing ongoing energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors user responses and adjusts avatar behavior dynamically based on feedback. By analyzing user reactions in real-time and adapting the conversation flow, the system achieves high adaptability while optimizing computational energy use through intelligent feedback loops rather than exhaustive processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If natural language processing and AI are used to control avatars, then the interaction becomes more natural and dynamic, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenaturalness of interactionVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the complex NLP and AI processing into distinct functional modules: preference acquisition, preference matching, contextual analysis, natural language interpretation, and response generation. This segmentation allows each module to handle specific aspects of interaction, making the overall processing complexity manageable while maintaining natural and dynamic conversation flow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A device, computer-readable medium, and method for adaptive simulation of celebrity and legacy avatars in extended reality environments is disclosed. In one example, a method performed by a processing system including at least one processor includes acquiring preferences from a user with respect to a virtual interaction, matching the preferences to an individual for whom an avatar is available, rendering an extended reality environment in which the virtual interaction will occur, rendering the avatar in the extended reality environment, receiving an input from the user, extracting a meaning from the input, and controlling the avatar to present an output that is responsive to the meaning, wherein the output is generated dynamically using at least one of: an image of the individual, an audio of the individual, or biographical data of the individual.
