System and method to display profile information in a virtual environment - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18055112 titled 'System and method to display profile information in a virtual environment

Simplified Explanation

The apparatus described in the abstract is a system for displaying profile information in a virtual environment using blockchain technology and gesture recognition.

• The processor generates an authorization token to assign an avatar to a user and stores it in the blockchain record.
• Session data associated with the avatar, including gestures, is received and compared to authorized gestures to identify a valid gesture.
• Profile information from the user's profile is displayed in the virtual environment upon recognition of the valid gesture.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in virtual reality social platforms, online gaming, virtual meetings, and virtual classrooms.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of securely displaying profile information in a virtual environment and ensuring user authentication through gesture recognition.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include enhanced user privacy and security, personalized user experiences in virtual environments, and efficient user authentication methods.

Potential Commercial Applications

A potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of secure virtual reality social platforms for businesses or educational institutions.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing systems that use blockchain for secure data storage and authentication in virtual environments, as well as gesture recognition technology in user interfaces.

Unanswered Questions

1. How does the system handle multiple users with different avatars in the same virtual environment? 2. What measures are in place to prevent unauthorized access to the user's profile information in the virtual environment?

Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus for displaying profile information in a virtual environment comprises a processor associated with a server. The processor is configured to generate an authorization token configured to assign a first avatar to a first user, wherein the authorization token is stored within the plurality of transfers of the blockchain record. The processor is further configured to receive session data associated with the first avatar, wherein the session data comprises at least one gesture for a session in a virtual environment and to compare the at least one gesture of the session data to one or more authorized gestures to identify a first authorized gesture. The processor is further configured to display profile information in the virtual environment that is stored in a first user profile associated with the first user in response to identifying the first authorized gesture.
