Persistent Virtual Identity Across Platforms
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current virtual identity systems are limited to a single application and are not portable or persistent across different applications and platforms, requiring users to manage and maintain multiple identities, which can be burdensome and inconsistent when changes are made.
Innovation Solution
A system that enables the creation and maintenance of a persistent virtual identity, including 3D assets and associated data, which can be transported between applications and platforms, using a 3D character SDK, asset transfer client, and content standards to ensure compatibility and consistency across various virtual environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a single virtual identity is maintained per application, then consistency within each application is ensured, but users must manage multiple identities across different applications which increases complexity and maintenance burden
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal identity system where a single virtual identity can be used across multiple applications and platforms. The identity data structure is designed to be platform-agnostic, allowing the same identity to function consistently in different virtual environments without requiring separate identities for each application.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and maintains copies of identity data across different applications and platforms. When identity information is updated in one application, the changes are propagated to other applications through data synchronization mechanisms, ensuring consistency without requiring users to manually update each identity separately.
2Reliability
If virtual identity data is synchronized across multiple applications, then consistency is improved, but the system complexity and data management overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary identity data structure that acts as a mediator between different applications. This intermediate layer handles the synchronization logic, data format conversion, and conflict resolution, shielding users from the complexity of cross-application data management while ensuring identity consistency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary data preparation and validation before synchronization occurs. Identity data is pre-processed, validated, and formatted according to platform-specific requirements before being transferred between applications, preventing synchronization errors and reducing the need for complex error handling mechanisms.
3Ease of operation
If identity changes are propagated across all applications, then user experience consistency is improved, but the time and computational resources required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic or event-driven synchronization rather than continuous real-time propagation. Identity changes are propagated at scheduled intervals or triggered by specific events, reducing the computational overhead and time required for updates while maintaining adequate consistency across applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The synchronization system is designed to be dynamic and adaptive, adjusting the frequency and method of identity propagation based on factors such as network conditions, application priorities, and types of changes. Critical identity updates are propagated immediately, while less critical changes use asynchronous updates to minimize impact on system performance.
