Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a proxy avatar is introduced to represent a user in virtual space, then the system can handle diverse user interactions and replicate real-life social dynamics, but the device complexity increases due to the need for attribute information processing and AI-driven behavior simulation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a proxy avatar as an intermediary entity that mediates between the user and other users in the virtual space. The proxy avatar is equipped with attribute information about the user and uses AI-driven robotic process automation to simulate real-life social dynamics, thereby enabling diverse and context-aware communications without requiring the user to directly manage complex interaction logic
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of user representation by transitioning from a simple user avatar to a proxy avatar enriched with attribute information (e.g., user characteristics, relationship data). This parameter enrichment enables the proxy avatar to adapt its behavior based on the attributes of interacting users, replicating nuanced real-life social dynamics
2Reliability
If the proxy avatar responds based on attribute information of requesting users, then communication fidelity to real-life interactions is enhanced, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing and storing attribute information about users before interactions occur. The proxy avatar is pre-configured with user attributes and relationships, enabling it to quickly retrieve and apply relevant information during interactions without performing complex real-time analysis, thus maintaining high interaction fidelity while reducing response time
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system processes attribute information to determine user relationships, then context-aware communication is achieved, but the information processing load and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The proxy avatar performs self-service by autonomously processing attribute information and determining appropriate responses based on user relationships. The AI-driven robotic process automation enables the proxy avatar to independently analyze attribute data, identify relationship contexts, and execute communication actions without requiring external intervention or complex centralized processing logic
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes circuitry that invokes and causes a proxy avatar to participate in a virtual space. The proxy avatar represents a first user, and is proxy for a user avatar that participates in the virtual space. In response to receipt from a second user of a request to the proxy avatar, the circuitry executes a process based on the request based on information of a process to be performed by the proxy avatar. The information of the process is set in accordance with attribute information of the second user.
