Application: Billing system, billing method, and recording medium (Patent ID: US20240212010A1)
The patent by NEC Corp. describes a billing system for virtual spaces that detects actions of avatars on objects, estimates the contribution of these objects to revenue generated by avatar actions, allocates revenue to related entities based on this contribution, and outputs the allocation. The system can also determine usage fee allocations based on object contribution to avatar presence, allocate costs related to advertisements to advertisers based on object contribution to avatar presence, and allocate revenue to entities when avatars move to another virtual space via objects.
Additionally, the system can estimate object contribution based on avatar actions or time spent on objects, conversation ratios related to objects, or attributes of avatars and users. The method and non-transitory recording medium versions of the billing system also include similar functionalities for detecting actions, estimating contributions, allocating revenue, and outputting allocations, with specific emphasis on usage fee allocations, advertisement cost allocations, and advertiser payment allocations based on object contribution to avatar actions in virtual spaces.
