Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Virtual assets in multi-source virtual environments are vulnerable to theft and adverse effects when users are not actively attending to them, lacking effective security measures.
Innovation Solution
A system for secure packet recordation in multi-source virtual environments, which includes a computing system with a processor and memory, connected to a modeling server, allowing users to deposit and withdraw virtual assets into a secure packet, maintaining a content record even when the user is not actively present, with authentication mechanisms to ensure security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If virtual assets are stored in the virtual environment without active user attention, then user convenience is improved, but security against theft and adverse effects deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a secure packet as an intermediary container between the user's virtual assets and the virtual environment. This secure packet acts as a mediator that provides security protection while allowing users to conveniently store and retrieve assets without continuous attention. The secure packet system resolves the contradiction by enabling automatic secure storage (improving convenience) while maintaining security through its protected structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary security measures by automatically depositing virtual assets into secure packets when users navigate away from the virtual environment. This preliminary action ensures assets are protected before any potential theft or adverse effects can occur, allowing users to enjoy convenience without compromising security. The system proactively secures assets rather than reacting to threats.
2Reliability
If users must actively monitor their virtual assets at all times, then asset security is improved, but user convenience and time efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The secure packet system provides self-service security by automatically protecting virtual assets without requiring continuous user monitoring. The system autonomously manages asset security through automatic deposit and retrieval mechanisms, eliminating the need for users to spend time actively watching their assets. This self-service approach maintains high security while freeing user time for other activities.
Solution Approach 2:
The secure packet serves as an autonomous intermediary that independently manages asset protection. It automatically executes security functions such as depositing assets when users navigate away and retrieving them when users return, without requiring user intervention or time investment. This intermediary system resolves the time-security tradeoff by handling security tasks autonomously.
3Reliability
If a secure storage system is implemented, then asset security is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The secure packet is designed as a universal container that can store multiple types of virtual assets (items, currency, properties) through a single unified mechanism. This multi-functionality reduces system complexity by providing one general-purpose security solution rather than separate systems for different asset types. The same secure packet structure and operations apply regardless of asset variety, simplifying the overall system architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the virtual environment into distinct functional zones: the active virtual environment space and the secure packet storage space. This segmentation isolates assets into protected containers, simplifying security management by creating clear boundaries between accessible and protected areas. The segmented structure allows simple user interactions (deposit/withdraw) while maintaining complex security protections.
Data Source
AI summary
A system for secure packet recordation in multisource virtual environments includes: a computing system having one or more processor and a network connection for operatively connecting the computing system to a modeling server providing a geometric model. The computing system, upon user navigation action directed to the first modeling server, accesses the first geometric model and causes display a three dimensional virtual environment based. An asset indicium representing a virtual asset of the user and a graphical representation of a secure packet are displayed. Upon a deposit request by the user, the first virtual asset is received into the secure packet. Upon user navigation directed away from the first modeling server, display of the three dimensional virtual environment is terminated, for example as a user explores another environment. In the absence of user attention, a content record is maintained including tabulation of at least the first virtual asset.
