Virtual Space Control System for Secure User Icon Operations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing virtual space control systems face challenges in balancing convenience and security when users operate virtual devices, particularly in scenarios where operation authority is granted to all users, leading to potential information leaks and degraded convenience when stricter controls are implemented.
Innovation Solution
A control system comprising a reception processing unit, an acquisition processing unit, and a permission processing unit that receives user icon movements, acquires their positions, and permits operations on virtual devices only when the user icon is within a specific area in the virtual space, ensuring secure and convenient operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If operation authority is granted to all users in the virtual space, then convenience is improved, but security deteriorates due to potential information leaks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by granting operation authority selectively to specific users based on their location within the virtual space. Instead of uniform authority distribution, the system determines whether a user icon is included in a specific area (meeting area) and grants or restricts operation authority accordingly. This resolves the contradiction by providing convenient access to authorized users while maintaining security through location-based restrictions.
2Reliability
If operation authority is made stricter to ensure security, then security is improved, but convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making operation authority dynamic rather than static. The system continuously monitors the position of user icons in the virtual space and adjusts operation authority in real-time based on whether users are located within the specific area. This resolves the contradiction by providing strict security controls only when necessary (when users are outside the meeting area) while maintaining convenience when users are properly positioned.

AI summary
A control system includes a reception processing unit that receives an operation of moving a user icon in a virtual space performed by a user corresponding to the user icon, an acquisition processing unit that acquires a position of the user icon in the virtual space, and a permission processing unit that permits a user operation performed by the user on a virtual device installed in the virtual space when the user icon is included in a specific area in the virtual space.
