Dynamic Virtual Community Space Creation via Avatar Interaction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing virtual space services, such as personal web spaces and community spaces, lack immediate two-way interaction capabilities, preventing users from checking access presence and acquiring necessary information in real time, especially when accessing other users' spaces.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for dynamically creating a community space by connecting personal web spaces, allowing immediate interaction between users through a map creation unit and interaction unit, which generates a new community space and enables real-time interaction using avatars.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If personal web spaces are accessed to acquire information, then information can be obtained, but immediate two-way interaction and presence detection are not possible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges personal web spaces with messenger system capabilities by integrating avatar-based real-time communication into the web space architecture. When users access personal web spaces, their avatars are automatically connected, enabling simultaneous information retrieval and immediate two-way interaction within the same platform, thus eliminating the need to switch between separate systems.
2Reliability
If messenger systems are used for immediate two-way communication, then real-time interaction is possible, but additional programs must be installed and web space connection is not formed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the web space platform multi-functional by integrating both information storage/display capabilities and real-time communication capabilities into a single system. The web space server handles both traditional web content delivery and avatar-based messaging, allowing users to access information and communicate simultaneously without requiring separate messenger applications.
3Reliability
If SNS with avatars is used for interaction, then users can recognize counterparts in real-time, but information acquisition requires navigating through map services and paths
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the avatar recognition system with the web space information architecture. When users access personal web spaces, their avatars are automatically positioned and displayed within the same interface that shows web content, eliminating the need to navigate through separate map services. Information and avatar interactions occur in the same unified space.
4Adaptability or versatility
If personal web spaces are connected dynamically, then immediate interaction becomes possible, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic connection of personal web spaces through avatar-based triggers. When a user accesses another user's personal web space, the system automatically creates a dynamic connection between their avatars, enabling real-time interaction. These connections are formed and dissolved based on user access patterns, providing adaptability without requiring permanent complex infrastructure for all possible user pairs.
Data Source
AI summary
An apparatus and method for dynamically creating a community space in a virtual space. A request for a connection to a personal web space of another user to be visited by a user possessing a personal web space is made. When the connection request is identified, a new community space is generated by connecting the personal web spaces of the users to each other. Immediate interaction between the users is performed in the generated new community space.
