IDENTIFYING WHETHER INTERACTING WITH REAL PERSON OR SOFTWARE ENTITY IN METAVERSE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240232307 titled 'IDENTIFYING WHETHER INTERACTING WITH REAL PERSON OR SOFTWARE ENTITY IN METAVERSE
The patent application describes methods for generating a proof-of-life indicator in a metaverse platform to distinguish between human users and software-based entities.
- Data streams from sensors monitor user activity in the metaverse environment.
- The data streams capture behavioral and biometric characteristics of the user.
- Attribute information from the data streams is aggregated to determine if the user is human or software-based.
- A proof-of-life indicator is generated along with a confidence level to indicate the user type.
- The proof-of-life indicator is provided within the metaverse environment.
Potential Applications: - Enhancing security in virtual environments - Preventing unauthorized access to metaverse platforms - Ensuring authenticity of user interactions in virtual worlds
Problems Solved: - Distinguishing between human users and software-based entities in the metaverse - Improving trust and security in virtual environments - Enhancing user experience by ensuring genuine interactions
Benefits: - Increased security and authenticity in the metaverse - Enhanced user trust and confidence in virtual interactions - Improved overall user experience in virtual worlds
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Security in Virtual Environments with Proof-of-Life Indicators" This technology can be utilized by metaverse platforms, online gaming companies, virtual reality developers, and social networking platforms to enhance security and authenticity in virtual interactions. It can also be integrated into e-commerce platforms to verify user identities and prevent fraud.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the proof-of-life indicator enhance security in the metaverse? - The proof-of-life indicator helps distinguish between human users and software-based entities, ensuring that only genuine users are interacting within the virtual environment. 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for online gaming companies and virtual reality developers? - This technology can significantly improve user trust and security in online gaming environments, preventing cheating and unauthorized access by software-based entities.
Original Abstract Submitted
methods that generate a proof-of-life indicator used by a metaverse platform to indicate whether an avatar is being controlled by or is representative of a human user or a software-based entity. in these methods, a plurality of data streams are obtained from a plurality of sensors that are configured to monitor activity of a user that is active within the metaverse environment. the plurality of data streams relate to behavioral and biometric characteristics of the user that is interacting within the metaverse environment. the methods involve determining whether the user is a human user or a software-based entity based on aggregating attribute information extracted from the plurality of data streams, generating a proof-of-life indicator that indicates whether the user is the human user or the software-based entity and a confidence level associated with the proof-of-life indicator, and providing the proof-of-life indicator in the metaverse environment.
