Application: Virtual environment arrangement and configuration (Patent ID: US20240193674A1)
The patent filed by eBay Inc. describes techniques for arranging and configuring a virtual environment using virtualization on a virtual reality platform. The virtual environment includes virtual stores along virtual streets with digital content to represent goods or services. The configuration of the virtual environment is based on inputs from users, providers, and machine learning algorithms. The method involves training a machine learning model to manage the arrangement of virtual stores, receiving requests from client devices to access the virtual environment, determining the arrangement of stores based on the request and machine learning model, generating the virtual environment with the determined arrangement, and outputting it to the client device via a network.
The patent also includes claims related to determining the arrangement of virtual stores along virtual streets, grouping stores based on criteria or tags, and customizing the arrangement based on user data or customization data. The computing device described in the patent includes a processing system and computer-readable storage medium with instructions for training the machine learning model, receiving requests, determining store arrangements, generating the virtual environment, and outputting it to client devices. Additionally, the patent covers non-transitory computer-readable storage media with instructions for managing virtual store arrangements, grouping stores based on interest likelihood or tags, and customizing the virtual environment based on user requests.
