PRINTING SYSTEM, PRINTING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240176565 titled 'PRINTING SYSTEM, PRINTING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a printing system that includes a provision system providing a virtual space, a user device for experiencing the virtual space, and a printing apparatus. The provision system receives operations to print contents corresponding to objects in the virtual space, the user device outputs print data in response to a print operation, and the printing apparatus prints the contents based on the acquired print data.
- Provision system provides a virtual space for printing operations.
- User device outputs print data corresponding to contents in the virtual space.
- Printing apparatus prints contents based on the received print data.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in virtual reality environments, online gaming, digital art creation, and interactive educational platforms.
Problems Solved
Efficient printing of virtual content, seamless integration of virtual and physical spaces, and enhanced user experience in virtual environments.
Benefits
Improved user engagement, streamlined printing processes, enhanced creativity in virtual spaces, and increased productivity in content creation.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be utilized in virtual reality gaming, digital art studios, educational institutions, and online content creation platforms.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include 3D printing technologies, virtual reality printing systems, and interactive digital content creation tools.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system ensure the accuracy of printed content in relation to the virtual space?
The system may use calibration techniques to align virtual objects with physical printing dimensions, ensuring accurate representation.
What security measures are in place to protect the privacy of user-generated content in the virtual space?
The system may incorporate encryption protocols, user authentication mechanisms, and data access controls to safeguard user-generated content from unauthorized access.
Original Abstract Submitted
a printing system including a provision system that provides a virtual space, a user device for experiencing the virtual space, and a printing apparatus, wherein: the provision system has a reception unit configured to receive operations to print contents corresponding to objects that exist in the virtual space in accordance with operations that the user has executed in the virtual space; the user device has an output unit configured to externally output print data corresponding to the contents in response to an operation to print the contents having been received by the reception unit; and the printing apparatus has a print control unit configured to print the contents by acquiring the print data in response to the operation to print the contents.
