Solution Overview

Problem

Current VR capture systems primarily focus on recording technical aspects of virtual reality proceedings, missing non-verbal cues and rhetorical elements such as ethos, pathos, logos, and kairos, which are crucial for understanding the effectiveness and dynamics of VR proceedings.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that capture digitized elements of VR proceedings, including avatar dynamics, gestures, spatial interactions, and environmental settings, to analyze and record the rhetorical principles of VR proceedings, providing a holistic and comprehensive record.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If traditional audio transcription and NLP analysis are used to capture meeting content, then the logical aspect (logos) is recorded, but non-verbal cues and rhetorical elements (ethos, pathos, kairos) are missed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveloss of non-verbal cues and rhetorical elementsVSAvoidcomplexity of capture system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple capture modalities (audio transcription, NLP analysis, avatar gesture tracking, eye movement detection, spatial interaction monitoring) into a unified VR proceeding capture system. This merging allows simultaneous collection of logos (verbal content), ethos (avatar choices and gestures), pathos (engagement metrics), and kairos (timing and sequence data), resolving the contradiction by capturing comprehensive information without requiring separate complex systems for each modality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The VR proceeding capture system is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it captures verbal content through audio transcription, analyzes logical structure via NLP, tracks non-verbal cues through avatar monitoring, measures engagement through eye tracking and interaction metrics, and records timing data through timestamping. This multi-functionality allows a single system to address all rhetorical elements (logos, ethos, pathos, kairos) without requiring separate specialized devices for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Measurement precision

If detailed VR capture systems are implemented to record all aspects of VR proceedings, then comprehensive understanding is achieved, but system complexity and resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of VR proceeding analysisVSAvoidcomplexity of capture infrastructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the VR proceeding capture system into distinct functional modules: audio transcription module for capturing verbal content, NLP analysis module for logical structure, avatar tracking module for ethos capture, eye movement detection module for engagement measurement, and spatial interaction module for contextual analysis. Each module independently captures specific aspects with high precision, and their results are integrated to provide comprehensive analysis, thereby achieving measurement precision without requiring a monolithic complex system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that receives data from multiple capture modalities, standardizes the data formats, and integrates the information into a unified analysis framework. This intermediary layer manages the complexity of coordinating multiple precise measurement systems by providing a standardized interface and integration logic, allowing high measurement precision to be achieved while keeping the overall system architecture manageable through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A computer system and method captures digitized elements of all or a portion of a virtual reality (VR) proceeding generated by a VR server and analyzes the digitized elements of the VR proceeding to determine a core subject matter. The system comprises (1) a VR capture processor in communication with the VR server, wherein the VR capture processor is configured to capture some or all of the digitized elements of a VR proceeding generated by the VR server, (2) one or more databases in communication with the VR capture processor that are configured to store the captured digitized elements of the VR proceeding, and (3) a VR proceeding analyzer configured to analyze the captured digitized elements of the VR proceeding and to determine a core subject of all or a portion of the VR proceeding, preferably by analyzing one or more of the principles of rhetoric.
