SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, CLIENT TERMINAL, PRINTING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18481842 titled 'SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, CLIENT TERMINAL, PRINTING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

Some embodiments provide a mechanism for providing print services applicable to a printer to be used by a user at the time of printing in a metaverse. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a system includes a printing apparatus, a client terminal, and a server for providing a user with a metaverse via the client terminal. The system includes a plurality of memories and a plurality of processors that are configured to receive, from the user, an operation for using a print service for a content in the metaverse; upon reception of an operation for using the print service, acquire information about the printing apparatus from the printing apparatus; and provide a print service applicable to the printing apparatus in the metaverse based on the information about the printing apparatus.

  • Mechanism for providing print services in a metaverse
  • System includes printing apparatus, client terminal, and server
  • Processors receive user operation for print service in metaverse
  • Acquire information about printing apparatus
  • Provide print service based on printing apparatus information

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in virtual reality environments where users may need to print out virtual content for various purposes such as documentation, sharing, or physical reference.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of seamlessly integrating printing services into virtual environments, allowing users to easily access and utilize print services within a metaverse setting.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include enhanced user experience, convenience in printing virtual content, and bridging the gap between virtual and physical worlds through print services in a metaverse.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include virtual event management, virtual education platforms, virtual design and modeling tools, and any other virtual environments where printing services may be required.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the integration of 3D printing services into virtual reality platforms for creating physical objects from virtual designs. Another could be the use of augmented reality applications for printing virtual content in a physical format.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology ensure the security and privacy of user data in the printing process within a metaverse environment?

The article does not address the specific measures or protocols in place to safeguard user data during the printing process in a metaverse. It would be important to understand how user information is protected from unauthorized access or misuse.

What are the limitations or constraints of using print services in a metaverse environment, and how does this technology address them?

The article does not discuss any potential limitations or challenges that may arise when implementing print services in a metaverse. Understanding the constraints and how this technology overcomes them would provide a more comprehensive view of its effectiveness.
