SELECTIVE OBFUSCATION OF LIVE RESOURCES IN A METAVERSE ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240346174 titled 'SELECTIVE OBFUSCATION OF LIVE RESOURCES IN A METAVERSE ENVIRONMENT
The abstract of this patent application describes a computer-implemented method for controlling access to live resources shared in a metaverse based on sharing policies and user characteristics.
- Gathering sharing policies for a first user sharing a live resource in a metaverse
- Determining characteristics of a second user in the metaverse
- Checking if the second user is authorized to view the live resource based on policies and characteristics
- Applying obfuscation to the second user's view if unauthorized
- Allowing the second user to view the live resource if authorized
Potential Applications: - Privacy protection in virtual environments - Access control for shared content in online platforms - Enhanced user experience in virtual reality settings
Problems Solved: - Ensuring privacy and security in shared virtual spaces - Preventing unauthorized access to sensitive content - Customizing user experiences based on individual characteristics
Benefits: - Improved privacy protection for users sharing live resources - Enhanced control over content sharing in virtual environments - Personalized viewing experiences for users based on their profiles
Commercial Applications: Title: Virtual Privacy Control System This technology can be utilized in social media platforms, online gaming communities, virtual events, and e-learning platforms to regulate access to shared content and protect user privacy.
Questions about Virtual Privacy Control System: 1. How does this technology impact user engagement in virtual environments?
- This technology enhances user engagement by providing a secure and personalized viewing experience.
2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this system across different metaverse platforms?
- The main challenge lies in ensuring compatibility and seamless integration with various virtual environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
a computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes gathering sharing policies associated with a first user sharing a live resource in a metaverse, and determining characteristics of a second user in the metaverse. the method further includes determining, based on the sharing policies and the characteristics of the second user, whether the second user is authorized to view the live resource shared by the first user. in response to a determination that the second user is not authorized to view the live resource, a first predetermined obfuscation condition is caused to be applied to the second user's view of the live resource for protecting the first user's privacy. furthermore, in response to a determination that the second user is authorized to view the live resource, the second user is allowed to view the live resource.
