Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of virtual reality (VR) headsets face inconvenience and loss of immersion when needing to remove the headset for payment processing, and there is a need for secure payment solutions, especially in shared VR environments.
Innovation Solution
A VR system that includes a controller, a first information processing device, a virtual reality headset, a biometric data acquisition device, and sensors, allowing users to input biometric data while wearing the headset and ensuring secure payment through biometric authentication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the user removes the VR headset to perform payment operations, then the payment can be completed securely, but the immersion of the user is deteriorated and the operation becomes troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a camera as an intermediary device to capture images of the user's identification document and payment interface. This allows the payment process to be completed through image recognition and OCR technology without requiring the user to remove the VR headset, thus maintaining both security and convenience. The camera acts as a mediator between the VR system and the payment verification process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical action of removing the headset with an automated image capture and recognition system. The camera automatically captures images, and OCR technology automatically extracts and verifies payment information, substituting the manual mechanical process of taking off the headset with an automated optical and digital recognition system.
2Productivity
If the user removes the VR headset to input payment information, then the payment can be processed, but the sense of immersion is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables continuous payment processing while the user remains in the VR environment. The camera continuously captures images, and the system continuously processes payment information through OCR and image recognition, allowing the payment action to proceed without interruption and without breaking the immersive experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically capturing images, recognizing text through OCR, verifying payment information, and completing transactions without requiring user intervention to remove the headset. The payment process becomes autonomous, with the system serving itself to complete the transaction while the user maintains immersion.
Data Source
AI summary
A virtual reality system includes a first information processing device, a virtual reality headset, a biometric data acquisition device, a first sensor, and a second sensor. The first information processing device creates virtual reality content. The virtual reality headset is worn by the user and displays the virtual reality content received from the first information processing device to the user. The biometric data acquisition device acquires biometric data of the user. The first information processing device adds an image making the user recognize the position and the direction of the biometric data acquisition device to the virtual reality content on the basis of position and direction information created by the first sensor and the second sensor.
