Inventor(s) include Cova Regateiro, Joao Pedro; Avril, Quentin; Hirtzlin, Patrice; and Guillotel, Philippe.
The application for the patent was published on Oct. 10, under issue no. 41/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "In one implementation, a new set of actions and behaviors associated with interactive spaces and avatars in 3D virtual environments are proposed. These actions and behaviors define the capabilities of an avatar in areas of interactivity. They can be used in MPEG-I Scene Description to support avatar social interactivity in 3D environments with corresponding time-based events. Generally, capabilities describe the allowed actions of an avatar following a trigger event in a region of interactivity. In the case "Disabilities" are defined for the user, information included in "Disabilities" will also impact the capabilities of a user avatar. The actions, for example, can include social action, restriction action, parental action, speech action, capabilities action and disabilities action. In one example, a new type of property (ACTION_SET_AVATAR) is included to the framework of MPEG_scene_activity. Under ACTION_SET_AVATAR, an object (avatarAction) is used to represent avatar-specific actions."
The patent application was internationally filed on Mar. 15, 2024, under International application No.PCT/EP2024/057089.
