Virtual Asset Transfer Spaces for Secure Avatar-Based Inheritance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack efficient methods for transferring virtual assets and avatars between users in virtual environments, particularly in scenarios involving the transfer of wealth, assets, and inheritances across different users, including deceased individuals.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that involves generating a second avatar based on a first avatar's activities, mapping attributes to virtual assets, and creating a virtual transfer space where these assets are transferred between users, allowing authorized avatars to access and view the transfer space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If virtual assets and avatars are transferred between users in existing systems, then asset mobility is improved, but transfer security and control mechanisms are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a service computing system as an intermediary that manages the entire asset transfer process. This intermediary system handles authentication, authorization, and execution of transfers, ensuring security and control while enabling versatile asset mobility between users in the virtual environment.
2Ease of operation
If avatars and virtual assets are transferred between users, then user interaction capability is improved, but the complexity of transfer mechanisms increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service mechanisms where users can initiate and complete asset transfers autonomously through their avatars in the virtual environment. The service computing system automatically handles the complex backend operations, authentication, and execution, allowing users to interact simply while the system manages the inherent complexity.
3Productivity
If virtual assets are transferred in existing systems, then asset distribution is improved, but control and authorization mechanisms are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary authorization actions where users pre-establish their identities, avatars, and asset holdings in the virtual environment before transfers occur. The service computing system maintains pre-validated authentication and authorization frameworks that enable efficient asset distribution while ensuring control through pre-established security protocols.
Data Source
AI summary
A method includes determining activity information of a first avatar of a first user. The activity information includes a plurality of activities performed by the first avatar in a virtual environment. The method further includes matching the plurality of activities to one or more representative attributes based on a mapping between a plurality of predetermined activities in the virtual environment and a plurality of attributes. The method further includes generating a second avatar based on the first avatar. The second avatar and the one or more first attributes are mapped to first virtual assets of the first user. The method further includes generating a virtual transfer space within the virtual environment, authorizing a third avatar of a second user to enter the virtual transfer space, displaying the second avatar in the virtual transfer space, and transferring the first virtual assets of the first user to the second user.
