Solution Overview

Problem

Metaverses often operate in isolation, limiting users' access to diverse information and affiliations with other users who share similar interests, making it difficult for users to connect and interact based on common backgrounds or affiliations.

Innovation Solution

A metaverse user affiliation system that continuously monitors user activity across multiple metaverses, determines affiliations based on shared interests or backgrounds, and presents relevant affiliation information to users through metaverse servers, using badges, alerts, and virtual complexes to facilitate connections.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If metaverses operate in isolation presenting only metaverse-specific information, then the metaverse system maintains simplicity and focused functionality, but users cannot access diverse information or connect with users sharing similar interests across different metaverses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to diverse information and user affiliationsVSAvoidsystem complexity for monitoring and determining affiliations
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments affiliation information management by creating separate affiliation profiles for each user that track their interests and characteristics across multiple metaverses. Each metaverse maintains its own operational independence while the affiliation system aggregates user data separately to enable cross-metaverse connections without complicating individual metaverse operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary affiliation information system that acts as a mediator between isolated metaverses. This intermediary component monitors user activity, determines affiliations, and presents relevant information without requiring the metaverses themselves to become more complex or interconnected.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If the system continuously monitors user activity across multiple metaverses to determine affiliations, then users can discover others with similar interests, but the system requires significant data collection and processing resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaffiliation information availabilityVSAvoiddata monitoring and processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial monitoring by focusing only on specific user activities and characteristics that are relevant to determining affiliations, rather than monitoring all possible user data. This selective approach reduces the data processing burden while still enabling effective affiliation detection and user connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Ease of operation

If affiliation information is presented to users through metaverse servers, then users receive personalized and context-aware information, but the system requires coordination between the affiliation system and metaverse servers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized information presentationVSAvoidsystem coordination and integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts affiliation information presentation from the core metaverse server operations. The affiliation system generates and manages affiliation data independently, then presents this information to users through the metaverse interface without requiring deep integration or coordination with metaverse server logic, thereby maintaining metaverse operational simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

The embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for identifying and promoting user affiliations in metaverses. For example, a metaverse user affiliation system may be used to continuously monitor data relating to activity of a metaverse user with respect to one or more metaverses, to determine one or more user affiliations of the metaverse user based at least in part on the data relating to the activity of the metaverse user, to generate data relating to affiliation information based at least in part on the one or more user affiliations of the metaverse user, and to transmit the data relating to the affiliation information to the one or more metaverses to enable presentation of the affiliation information to the metaverse user via the one or more metaverses.
