Metaverse Print Code Authentication for VR Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In the metaverse space, printing from VR terminals poses a risk of information leakage due to the complexity of the pull-print method, where users must temporarily remove the VR terminal to input a print code, making safe printing cumbersome.
Innovation Solution
A system that includes a content management system and a printing system, where a processor provides a print code to a VR terminal based on user operations and transmits printing data to a connected printing device, enabling secure printing without requiring users to disconnect their VR terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the pull-print method is used to ensure safe printing, then information leakage is prevented, but the operation complexity increases and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a print code as an intermediary element between the user and the printing device. The print code is displayed in the metaverse space and input through the VR terminal, serving as a mediator that enables secure authentication without requiring the user to remove the VR terminal. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining security (through code verification) while improving ease of operation (by eliminating the need to disconnect the VR terminal).
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical interaction method (removing the VR terminal to input the print code on a separate device) with a virtual interface method. The print code is displayed within the metaverse space and can be input directly through the VR terminal's interface, substituting the mechanical removal and separate device input with a streamlined virtual操作流程. This maintains security while significantly improving ease of operation.
2Reliability
If the VR terminal is removed to input the print code, then secure authentication is achieved, but the user experience and convenience are impaired
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by displaying the print code in the metaverse space before the printing operation is completed. The code is prepared and available for input while the user is still wearing the VR terminal, eliminating the need for last-minute device removal. This maintains authentication security while reducing the time loss by allowing the user to input the code at their convenience without interrupting their immersive experience.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple users connect printing devices to the metaverse space, then printing functionality is enhanced, but the risk of information leakage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the print code as an intermediary authentication mechanism that works across multiple users and devices. Each user receives their own print code displayed in the metaverse space, and the code is specifically tied to their printing job and authorized device. This enables multiple users to connect their printing devices to the metaverse space (improving adaptability) while maintaining security through individualized code verification (preventing information leakage).
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by verifying the print code input by the user against the original code generated for their specific printing job. This feedback mechanism ensures that only the authorized user can initiate printing on their designated device, allowing multiple users to connect to the metaverse space with printing functionality while preventing information leakage through strict code verification.

AI summary
A system including a content management system and a printing system provides a print code issued by the printing system to a terminal based on a user's content printing operation in a virtual space projected and provided using the terminal, and transmits printing data for printing content data corresponding to the user's content printing operation to a printing device in response to reception of a printing request including the print code from the printing device that has received the print code from the terminal.
