METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR PROCESSING VIRTUAL AVATAR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17985578 titled 'METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR PROCESSING VIRTUAL AVATAR
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for processing a virtual avatar. The method involves generating an image feature of the virtual avatar based on image blocks and their positions, generating a text feature associated with a watermark to be added to the virtual avatar, and creating a watermarked virtual avatar that is invisible to humans but identifies the user in a metaverse.
- Explanation of the patent/innovation:
- - Method for processing a virtual avatar
- - Generating image and text features for watermarking
- - Creating a watermarked virtual avatar for identification in a metaverse
- - Watermark is invisible to humans

Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for processing a virtual avatar. The method includes generating an image feature of the virtual avatar based on a plurality of image blocks of the virtual avatar and corresponding positions of the plurality of image blocks in the virtual avatar. The method further includes generating, based on a watermark to be added to the virtual avatar, a text feature associated with text of the watermark. The method further includes generating a watermarked virtual avatar based on the image feature and the text feature, wherein the watermark is invisible to human beings and identifies an identity of a user of the virtual avatar in a metaverse. Through embodiments of the present disclosure, identification of a virtual avatar, illustratively for verification and/or tracking purposes can be achieved without affecting the appearance of the virtual avatar.
