Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional systems face difficulties in safely and efficiently transferring movement authority information, such as a ticket, from one user to another within a virtual reality environment, lacking a simple and secure configuration.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system is developed that includes processing circuitry to render a virtual space, associate movement authority information with user avatars, and switch this authority between users based on user inputs, with a judging processor determining whether to allow movement to designated positions within the virtual space.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If movement authority information is transferred between users in a virtual reality environment, then user experience and accessibility are improved, but security risks and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidsecurity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between client devices and the virtual space. The server manages movement authority information, validating tickets and controlling access to designated positions. This intermediary architecture allows secure transfer of movement authority from one user to another while maintaining system security through centralized control and verification mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If movement authority information is transferred between users, then accessibility to virtual content is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveaccessibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the movement authority validation function from the client devices and places it in the server. The server maintains a database of valid tickets and movement authority information, handling all validation logic centrally. This extraction simplifies the client device architecture while enabling flexible transfer of movement authority between users through the server's mediation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If strict validation of movement authority information is implemented, then security is improved, but processing time and system response speed decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidprocessing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The server performs preliminary validation of movement authority information before granting access to designated positions. By pre-validating tickets and maintaining an updated database of authorized movements, the system ensures security is established beforehand, allowing faster processing during actual access attempts without repeated validation overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An information processing system comprises processing circuitry configured to render a virtual space; render each mobile medium associated with each user, each mobile medium being able to move within the virtual space; associate designated movement authority information to a first mobile medium, the first mobile medium being associated with a first user based on a first input from the first user; switch the designated movement authority information from association with the first mobile medium to association with a second mobile medium, the second mobile medium being associated with a second user different from the first user and based on a second input from the first user; and judge, based on the designated movement authority information, whether to allow one mobile medium to move toward a designated position within the virtual space.
