Virtual Character Authorization for Robot Device Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current information processing systems lack efficient methods for enabling secure and flexible operation of robot devices through authorization management, particularly in integrating virtual and real-space operations.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus comprising a sender and a receiver, where the sender sends a character in a virtual space to a robot device, allowing the receiver to obtain authorization to operate the robot device, facilitating robotic process automation (RPA) and leveraging AI for decision-making and processing tasks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If authorization is transferred through virtual character sending, then operation flexibility and security are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a virtual character as an intermediary entity that mediates between the information processing apparatus and the robot device. The virtual character serves as a carrier for authorization information, enabling secure transfer without direct complex authentication protocols. The character returning unit acts as an intermediary mechanism to verify and process character submission, simplifying the authorization flow while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a virtual copy (character) that represents the authorization state. Instead of directly managing complex authorization tokens or credentials, the system uses a simplified virtual character copy that can be sent and returned. This copying mechanism allows the system to track authorization status through character lifecycle management rather than complex credential verification.
2Reliability
If virtual character authorization is implemented, then security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service authorization where the virtual character automatically carries authorization information without requiring users to manually manage credentials. The character returning unit automatically verifies character submission and manages the authorization state, eliminating the need for users to understand complex authentication protocols while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual character acts as an intermediary that simplifies user interaction with the authorization system. Instead of directly handling complex security protocols, users simply send and return characters through the character returning unit, which manages the underlying authorization logic. This intermediary layer shields users from complexity while maintaining security.
3Reliability
If robot device operation is controlled through character transfer, then authorization management is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-embedding authorization information within the virtual character before transmission. The character is prepared with all necessary authorization data in advance, eliminating the need for multiple verification steps during the authorization process. The character returning unit quickly validates the pre-prepared character state, reducing processing time while maintaining authorization reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual character serves as a pre-packaged copy containing all authorization information. Instead of performing complex real-time verification, the system validates the character copy's inherent authorization state. This copying approach allows rapid authorization checks since the authorization data is already embedded in the character structure rather than requiring computational verification.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a sender and a receiver. The sender sends a character in a virtual space to a robot device. The receiver receives authorization to operate the robot device in return for the character sent to the robot device.
