Metaverse Call Session Management via SIP Account Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current metaverse technologies face challenges in seamlessly integrating virtual space interactions and video calls between users, particularly in maintaining user privacy and efficiently managing user identification and session establishment across different metaverse services.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device configured with a processor and communication device to identify call requests, establish media sessions with metaverse servers, receive and transmit data representing virtual spaces associated with user avatars, and manage user manipulation inputs, while ensuring privacy through SIP account mapping and token-based authentication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If phone numbers are directly used for metaverse service authentication, then user identification is simple, but user privacy is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces SIP account mapping as an intermediary layer between phone numbers and metaverse services. The communication device establishes a mapping relationship where phone numbers are converted to SIP accounts, which then authenticate with metaverse services. This mediator protects user privacy by preventing direct exposure of phone numbers while maintaining authentication functionality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple metaverse services are integrated, then service versatility improves, but session management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal session management mechanism that can handle multiple metaverse services through a single communication device interface. The device establishes media sessions with metaverse servers using standardized protocols, allowing it to interact with different metaverse services uniformly. This multi-functional approach enables service versatility while abstracting away the complexity of managing multiple service-specific sessions.
3Ease of operation
If video call quality is enhanced with virtual space data, then user experience improves, but data transmission requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges video call data with virtual space representation data into a single integrated media session. Instead of separate transmissions for video and virtual environment data, the system combines these streams through the same communication channel. This consolidation enhances user experience by synchronizing video with virtual space context while optimizing data transmission efficiency through unified protocol handling.

AI summary
An example electronic device may include at least one processor and a communication device. The at least one processor may be configured to identify a call generating request for first user identification information defined in a first metaverse service; establish, through the communication device, a media session between the electronic device and a first server corresponding to the first metaverse service, based on the call generating request; receive, through the communication device, first data for representing a virtual space associated with an avatar corresponding to the first user identification information, using the media session; provide first content representing the virtual space associated with the avatar using the received first data; transmit, through the communication device, a message including user manipulation information input corresponding to the content; receive, through the communication device, second data for representing a virtual space associated with the avatar set based on the user manipulation information, using the media session; and provide second content representing the virtual space associated with the avatar using the received second data.
