Virtual-Space Behavior Change Through Cognitive-Bias Mechanisms

The patent changes the parameter of user interaction by introducing cognitive bias-based mechanisms that modify user decision-making parameters. The system analyzes user cognitive biases and adjusts virtual environment parameters (such as information presentation, choice architecture, and feedback mechanisms) to prompt behavior change, thereby resolving the contradiction between providing movement experience and enabling behavior change.

The patent introduces an intermediary system that mediates between the virtual environment and user behavior. This intermediary analyzes user cognitive biases and implements targeted mechanisms (such as nudges, incentives, or information adjustments) to bridge the gap between virtual movement experience and actual behavior change, allowing the furniture device to indirectly influence user behavior through cognitive bias exploitation.

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-analyzing user cognitive biases before implementing behavior change mechanisms. The system performs preliminary user profiling and cognitive bias assessment, then installs tailored mechanisms based on this pre-acquired information. This approach maintains implementation simplicity while significantly improving behavior change effectiveness by avoiding trial-and-error methods.

The patent implements local quality by customizing virtual space mechanisms according to specific user cognitive biases rather than applying uniform generic mechanisms. The system identifies individual user characteristics and applies targeted interventions (such as specific types of nudges, information presentations, or incentive structures) suited to each user's cognitive profile, thereby achieving high effectiveness without excessive complexity.
