Solution Overview

Problem

Existing metaverse server technologies struggle to provide interaction resiliency, capable of serving multiple users simultaneously without significant downtime and handling interactions despite server issues.

Innovation Solution

The system distributes task operations between edge node and remote node processors within the metaverse server, allowing asynchronous task submission and completion of task portions by the server, thereby enhancing interaction resiliency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a single application instance serves multiple users simultaneously, then the metaverse server can handle more users, but the interaction resiliency deteriorates due to increased processing load and potential bottlenecks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of users served simultaneouslyVSAvoidinteraction resiliency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the application into multiple independent instances (first application instance and second application instance) that can operate autonomously. Each instance handles a subset of users, allowing the system to maintain resiliency even when one instance experiences issues. This segmentation enables parallel processing of user interactions without creating a single point of failure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes the operational parameters of different application instances based on load conditions and user distribution. By adjusting which instance serves which users and modifying processing parameters in response to system state, the patent maintains optimal performance and resiliency across varying operational conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If the metaverse server experiences issues such as downtime or processing bottlenecks, then the server cannot serve users reliably, but the system should continue to handle user interactions without significant disruption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveserver availabilityVSAvoiduser interaction capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the application into multiple independent instances, the system ensures that issues in one instance do not affect others. When one instance experiences downtime or processing bottlenecks, other instances continue to serve users, maintaining overall system reliability and interaction capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a load balancer as an intermediary component that distributes user requests across multiple application instances. This load balancer acts as a mediator that can redirect traffic away from failed or overloaded instances to healthy instances, ensuring continuous user interaction capability even when individual components fail.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the application object is made heavy to provide comprehensive metaverse experience, then the functionality and features are enhanced, but the processing time and system resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemetaverse experience qualityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the heavy application object into multiple lighter, independent application instances. Each instance provides a subset of metaverse functionality, allowing the system to distribute processing load and reduce the complexity burden on any single instance while maintaining the overall comprehensive experience through multiple instances working in parallel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A metaverse server comprises an edge node processor and a remote node processor. The edge node processor receives a request to perform a task comprising a first set of one or more operations and a second set of one or more operations from a client device associated with a metaverse user, executes the first set of one or more operations, sends a first notification indicating that the task is being performed to the client device, and forwards the second set of one or more operations to the remote node processor. The remote node processor receives the second set of one or more operations, executes each of the second set of one or more operations when conditions for executing the operation are satisfied, and sends a second notification indicating that the task has been completed to the client device upon completion of the second set of one or more operations.
