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 consists of virtual stores along virtual streets, containing digital content that can initiate transactions. The configuration of the virtual environment is based on inputs from users, providers, and machine learning algorithms.

The method outlined in the patent involves training a machine learning model to manage the arrangement of virtual stores within the virtual environment, receiving requests from client devices to access the platform, determining the arrangement of virtual stores based on the requests and machine learning model, generating the virtual environment with the determined arrangement, and outputting it to the client devices. The arrangement can be based on user data, customization data, past user interactions with digital content, and indicators within the virtual environment. Additionally, the patent describes the use of tags and likelihoods to group virtual stores based on user interests. The patent also covers the implementation of these techniques on computing devices and non-transitory computer-readable storage media.
