Persistent Virtual World System for Real-World Event Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current virtual world systems lack the ability to accurately generate and synchronize virtual replicas of real-world elements, limiting their application in managing events and identifying anomalies in environments such as buildings, factories, and cities, as they often do not contain all data of the real-world elements and are not synchronized with their real-world counterparts.
Innovation Solution
A persistent virtual world system stored in a server, synchronized with real-world elements using dynamic and static data from connected elements equipped with sensing mechanisms, allowing for real-time monitoring, detection, classification, and analysis of events, and enabling live management of events through virtual replicas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If virtual replicas are created without comprehensive data collection, then device complexity is reduced, but measurement precision and reliability of event management deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing a comprehensive data collection infrastructure before virtual replica generation. Sensors are deployed in advance to continuously capture static and dynamic data from the real world, ensuring that all necessary information is available when needed for creating accurate virtual replicas without increasing operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates accurate copies (virtual replicas) of real-world elements by systematically collecting and transferring data from physical objects to their virtual counterparts. Multiple sensing mechanisms capture comprehensive data including spatial, temporal, and contextual information, enabling precise replication of real-world elements in the virtual environment.
2Reliability
If continuous synchronization is implemented, then reliability of event management is improved, but use of energy and data transmission requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic synchronization intervals rather than continuous real-time transmission. Virtual replicas are updated at predetermined time intervals, allowing the system to maintain synchronization reliability while significantly reducing energy consumption and data transmission requirements compared to continuous updates.
Solution Approach 2:
The synchronization frequency is made dynamic rather than static. The system adjusts the update interval based on the level of change detected in the real world, increasing synchronization frequency when significant changes occur and reducing it during stable periods, thereby optimizing both reliability and energy efficiency.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive data collection is performed, then analysis precision is improved, but loss of time for data processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor real-world data and automatically trigger event detection algorithms. When anomalies or significant events are detected, the system immediately notifies users, eliminating the need for manual review of all footage and enabling rapid response while maintaining high detection accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
Event detection algorithms and analysis rules are pre-configured and continuously running in the background. The system performs preliminary analysis of incoming data streams in real-time, identifying and flagging events before they require human attention, thus reducing the time needed for manual review while maintaining comprehensive monitoring.

AI summary
A method enabling live management of events in the real world through a persistent virtual world system comprises providing in the memory of a server a database with structured data storing a persistent virtual world system comprising virtual replicas of real-world elements; synchronizing the virtual replicas with the respective real-world elements by using a plurality of connected elements connected to the server via a network, the connected elements comprising sensing mechanisms configured to capture data from the real-world elements; and managing events in the real world through the synchronized persistent virtual world system. Management of events comprises monitoring activity in the real world through a persistent virtual world system; detecting the events; checking whether events fall within one or more predetermined analysis requirement parameters; defining timeframe of events; storing the events in the memory; recreating the events; and analyzing the events.
