Limiting Perception Levels Of Media Exchanges Within Multi-User Virtual Sub-Spaces - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17946279 titled 'Limiting Perception Levels Of Media Exchanges Within Multi-User Virtual Sub-Spaces

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for connecting users to a multi-user virtual space, forming a sub-space within that virtual space, assigning a group of users to that sub-space, and focusing media exchanges within the sub-space.

  • Users are connected to a multi-user virtual space.
  • A sub-space is created within the virtual space.
  • A group of users is assigned to the sub-space.
  • Media exchanges are limited to the users within the sub-space.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in virtual reality social platforms, online gaming environments, and collaborative workspaces.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of overwhelming media exchanges in large multi-user virtual spaces, allowing for more focused and meaningful interactions within smaller groups.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved communication and collaboration among users, enhanced user experience in virtual environments, and increased efficiency in media exchanges.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include virtual reality social networking platforms, online gaming communities, and virtual team collaboration tools.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be the concept of virtual rooms or channels in online chat platforms, where users can join specific groups for focused discussions.

What are the technical requirements for implementing this technology?

To implement this technology, the system would need to be able to detect connections between users, create virtual sub-spaces within a larger virtual environment, assign users to these sub-spaces, and regulate media exchanges within these sub-spaces.

How does this technology impact user privacy and data security?

This technology could potentially enhance user privacy and data security by limiting media exchanges to specific groups of users, reducing the risk of sensitive information being shared with unintended recipients.


Original Abstract Submitted

A connection of users to a multi-user virtual space is detected. A multi-user virtual sub-space within the multi-user virtual space is formed. A group of users from among the users are assigned to the multi-user virtual sub-space. Media exchanges are focused for the group of users within the multi-user virtual sub-space by limiting a perception level of media exchanges between users not assigned to the multi-user virtual sub-space relative to users assigned to the multi-user virtual sub-space.
