[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to virtual reality. More specifically, the present
disclosure relates to generating a video/ animation based on the various shared experiences
of the matched users or couple from the start.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
[0002] In the digital communication era, messaging platforms have always played a pivotal role
for exchanging data/information among users. Thus, messaging platforms have evolved
enormously with the progression of technology. In particular, messaging platforms from
earlier days that only allowed information to be exchanged between users using text
evolved to exchanging of multimedia messages with advancement in technology.
However, in the current day scenario there exist messaging platforms that allow the users
to communicate with each other by various means. Some of said means may include
representing one’s emotions/thoughts through emoji or an emoticon. Whereas other means
may include conveying message or emotion through a sticker or an avatar. These platforms
allow the users to modify a picture/selfie into an avatar or sticker and share it with others
to convey their thoughts and feelings.
[0003] In addition, some of the messaging platforms have evolved to include games for
entertainment purpose. Such messaging platforms have built in option to play games with
other peoples across messaging platform. Whereas some of the messaging platforms have
evolved to an extent that they allow their users to come on such platform and perform
activities of common interest together, with various limitations.
[0004] Further, some of the messaging platforms have also found their application in virtual
reality. These messaging platforms have evolved to an extent that they offer their users to
create a virtual world of their own and allow them to experience their virtual world, wherein
the nature of interactions among users of the virtual world is often limited by the constraints
of the system implementing the virtual world. Moreover, said platform may be equipped
2
to allow their users to host various virtual competitions, play virtual games etc. together on
such platforms.
[0005] The virtual world shared experiences are generally focused on encouraging users who are
in different locations to come together, collaborate, and socialize over a common set of
objects. The users entering the virtual world participate in shared experiences, interact with
other users and then get connected or matched to become a couple. The matched users or
couple then do various activities together.
[0006] Hence, it would be advantageous if the matched users or couple are provided with a
video/animation of the various shared experiences of the couple from the start. This would
be advantageous in enabling the user to keep the relationship going online, thereby
enhancing the user experience. In view of the foregoing, there exists a need in the art to
provide a system and method that provides the above advantage.

simulated environment where a user may be able to make changes in the virtual
environment as per his/her choice and is allowed to interact within such environment
via his/her avatar. In particular, users in the virtual world may appear on a platform
in the form of representations referred to as avatars. The degree of interaction between
the avatars and the simulated environment may be implemented by one or more
applications that govern such interactions as simulated physics, exchange of
information between users, and the like. In an exemplary embodiment, the term virtual
world, virtual environment and virtual reality may be used to interchangeably without
departing from the scope of the present application.
[0038] The term shared platform in context of the present application may refer to a
multimedia communication platform that is common for all the users and can be
accessed by one or more users simultaneously at any given point of time. Said shared

and may remain connected to a central server, wherein it is said server that allows
multiple users to gain access to the shared platform at any given point of time. It is to
be appreciated that the shared platform may remain connected to the central server via
web presence. In an exemplary embodiment, shared platform discussed in the present
application allows multiple users, from the comfort of their places, to come on a single
platform to perform numerus activities together that may be of interest to each other.
Thus, shared platform is one that allow multiple users to come on a single platform
and have shared experience.
[0039] The term shared experience in context of the present application may refer to an
experience that two or more users may go through when performing an activity of
common interest on the shared platform. In an illustrative example, the activities that
may be performed on shared platform may include but are not limited do reading a

experience and shared experience may be used interchangeably throughout the present
disclosure.
[0040] Hike-land may be a virtual-reality platform that allows users to have an immersive
experience of their self-created virtual-world through their avatars. Hike-land may
also be referred as a virtual-reality platform that allows other users to gain access to
other virtual-world, with their consent. Further, Hike-land may be a virtual-reality
platform that allows different users to come on single platform and have collegial
experience while performing activities of common interest.
[0041] Offline location in context of the present application may relate to a real-location that
may facilitate a user to have, in person, immersive experience of the virtual-world
created by him/her or by some other user. To make this possible, the offline location
may remain connected to base virtual world present at the server, via web presence.

[0042] Fig. 1 illustrates an environment 100 in which the functionalities of present
application may be implemented, in accordance with an embodiment of the present
disclosure.
[0043] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the environment 100 may comprise a
number of users present on a multimedia platform 110. The users may perform one or
more activities together on the multimedia platform 110. The one or more activities
may comprise the activities of the shared experiences discussed above. The
multimedia platform 110 may store all the information associated with the users. In
one non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure, only the shared experiences
of the user within a predetermined time period are considered for processing.
[0044] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the information may comprise profile
data, demographic details of the user, details of various event attended by the users on
the multimedia platform 110, peer to peer or group chat history. The users present on
the multimedia platform 110 may be divided into a number of groups based on one or
more attributes of the shared experiences. For example, group-1 shall comprise user
1, user 2, user 3, and user 4, and group-2 shall comprise user 5, user 6, user 7, and user
8 as shown in fig. 1.
[0045] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the information associated with the user
may be further processed to determine the interest of the user. The activities of the
user is continuously monitored on the multimedia platform 110 to determine the
preferences of the user with respect to different types of content. Then, the interest
and preference of each user are considered to form or match couples within each
group. For example, the users 1 and 4 may match and form a couple-1 and users 6 and
7 may match and form couple 2. In one non-limiting embodiment, the chat history
may also be used for forming or matching couples within the group.
[0046] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a map of matching and shared experiences
may be created for each of the couples within the groups. The map of matching may
10
comprise activities or interaction due to which the match happened. The shared
experience may comprise the experiences or activities that the matched users have
done together before matching in the virtual world. In one non-limiting embodiment,
the shared experience may also comprise the experiences or activities that the matched
users have done together after matching in the multimedia platform 110.
[0047] The map of matching and the shared experiences may be created in the form of
snippets of various events, activities, and shared experiences done together. The
snippets may be then compiled to generate a video or an animation. The video may be
shared with each of the matched couple. Thus, the generation of video may facilitate
enhanced interaction of users on the multimedia platform 110 and keeping their
relationship going online, thereby enhancing the user experience.
[0048] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the multimedia platform 110
comprises a number of users. The users participate in various shared experiences
together during the lifecycle on the multimedia platform. The information of the user
are extracted from the multimedia platform. The extracted information comprises the
demographic information, profile information, shared experiences, and chat history of
the user.
[0049] The users are then classified into groups based on the attributes of the shared
experiences such as watching movie, playing game, augmented reality, or virtual
reality. For example, users of group -1 usually watches Bollywood romantic movies,
users of group-2 usually plays soccer or sports related games on the multimedia plat
form 110.
[0050] After classification into groups, the demographic information and profile information
of the users are processed to determine the interests of the user with respect to the
shared experience in which they participated. The activities and chat history of the
users are also monitored to determine the user specific preference with respect to
various types of content. For example, in group-1 user 2 and 3 watches only movies
for 10-15 minutes while surfing the content on the multimedia platform, while users
11
1 and 4 watches movies quite often and they have interest in movies as per the profile
information. Also, users 1 and 4 are of a same age category.
[0051] Thus, users 1 and 4 are matched based on the user interest and user specific preference
with respect to particular type of content. Similarly, the users 6 and 7 of the group-2
spend most of their time on the multimedia platform playing games and the profile
information of the users 6 and 7 also indicate that the user have interest in playing
games. Hence, users 6 and 7 are matched based on their interests and preferences.
[0052] A map of matching and shared experiences may be created for each of the couples
within the groups. A video or animation may be then created based on the map of
matching and shared experiences. The video may comprise a snippet of movie they
watched together, various events, activities in which they participated together. The
video or the animation may be shared with the matched users to facilitate enhanced
interaction of users on the multimedia platform 110.
[0053] Fig. 2 illustrates an exemplary data flow for generating a video for matched users or
couples, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0054] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a system 210 may extract information
from the multimedia platform. The information of the users may comprise at least one
of the information discussed above. The system 210 may the create groups of two or
more users based on the attributes of the shared experiences. In one non-limiting
embodiment of the present disclosure, the system may only consider the shared
experiences of the user within a predetermined time period.
[0055] The system 210 may process the extracted information of the users within each group
to determine the interest of the user. The system 210 may also monitor activities of
the user on the multimedia platform. The system 210 may then match one or more
users within the group based on the interest of the users and the activities of the user
on the multimedia platform.
[0056] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the system 210 may determine a map of
matching and shared experiences of each matched couple based on the extracted
12
information and fed it to video generation unit 220 of the system 210. The video
generation unit 220 may be configured to generate video or animation for each of the
matched couples based on the map of matching and the shared experiences.
[0057] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the video or animation may comprise
snippets of various milestones or significant events of their relationship or the snippets
of first of every shared experience they have done together on the virtual platform.
The video or the animation may comprise one or more of the following but not limited
to text data, audio data, emoji, stickers, avatars, and images, audio-visual media, etc.
[0058] The system 210 may then share the generated video or animation with the respective
matched couple. In one non-limiting embodiment, the matched user or couple may
share the video or animation with their respective connections in the virtual world.
Thus, the generated video may facilitate enhanced interaction of users on the
multimedia platform and keeping their relationship going online, thereby enhancing
the user experience.

[0084] Fig. 4 illustrate a flowchart of an exemplary method 400 for generating a video for
matched users or couples, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0085] At step 401, the method 400 discloses extracting plurality of information for users
present on a multimedia platform. The plurality of information comprises at least one
of: demographic information, profile information, and shared experiences. The
demographic information of the user may comprise at least one of the following but
not limited to age, race, ethnicity, gender, marital status, income, education, and
employment of each of the user. The profile information may comprise details
provided by the user in question and answer format, while creating the profile.
18
[0086] The shared experiences may comprise may include events attended or activities
performed by the users during their life cycle on the multimedia platform as discussed
above. In one non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure, the extracted shared
experiences may only be recent shared experiences of the user which happened within
a predetermined time period. The shared experiences may comprise watching a movie
together, reading a book together gardening, playing a game, making a house, keeping
a pet, etc.
[0087] At step 403, the method 400 discloses creating one or more groups among said users
based on one or more attributes of the shared experiences. In an exemplary scenario,
the shared experience may be a movie and the one or attributes associated with movie
may be at least one of but not limited to a genre of movie, language of the movie,
actors present in the movie, time duration of the movie.
[0088] In another exemplary embodiment, the shared experience may be game played on the
multimedia platform together and the attributes associated with game mat at least one
of but not limited to action games, action-adventure games, adventure games, roleplaying games, simulation games, strategy games, sports games, puzzle games, idle
games, etc.
[0089] The users present on the multimedia platform may be filtered at group level based on
the types of shared experience and the attributes associated with the shared experience.
For example, a first group of users likes watching Bollywood romantic movies and a
second group of users likes watching Hollywood action movies. A number of such
group may be created based on type of shared experience and attributes associated
with the shared experience.
[0090] At step 405, the method 400 discloses processing the at least one of the demographic
information and the profile information for each user within their groups to determine
interest of each user. The processing of the demographic information and the profile
information may facilitate in analyzing the age group and present status of the user
and users’ interest in different types of shared experiences.
19
[0091] At step 407, the method 400 discloses monitoring preference of each user with respect
to different types of content available on the multimedia platform. The user device
activities may be continuously monitored for determining the type of content preferred
by the respective user. The activities of the user may be used to determine primary
and secondary behavior of user on the multimedia platform.
[0092] At step 409, the method 400 discloses matching at least one couple within the created
groups based at least on the determined interest and the preferences of the users. In
one non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure, matching the at least one
couple further based on the chat history of users. The chat history may be peer to peer
chat history or group chat history. The chat history may also comprise media content
shared between the users during the chat.
[0093] At step 411, the method 400 discloses generating a video or an animation for the at
least one matched couple. The step of generating comprises generating a map of
matching and one or more shared experiences between the at least one matched
couple, creating one or more snippets of the map of matching and one or more shared
experiences, and combining the one or more snippets to generate the video.
[0094] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the map of matching may comprise
activities or interaction due to which the match happened. The one or more shared
experience may comprise the shared experiences or activities that the matched user
have done together before the matching on the multimedia platform. In one nonlimiting embodiment, the generated video may comprise shared experiences or
activities that the matched users have done after the matching.
[0095] The video or animation may comprise snippets of various events, activities, and
shared experiences done together. video or the animation may comprise one or more
of the following but not limited to text data, audio data, emoji, stickers, avatars, and
images, audio-visual media, etc.
[0096] In one non-limiting embodiment, the video or animation may comprise the snippets
of various milestones or significant events of their relationship or the snippets of first
of every shared experience they have done together on the multimedia platform.
20
[0097] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method 400 discloses sharing the
video or animation with respective matched users or couples. The video or animation
may be shared with the connections of the matched users or couples on the multimedia
platform based on user permission. In one non-limiting embodiment, the matched user
or couple may share the video or animation with their respective connections in the
multimedia platform or virtual world.
[0098] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the matched users may customize or
update the video or animation as per their choice. In one non-limiting embodiment, a
preference of the respective user may be received and the video or the animation may
be customized based on the preference of the matched users. For example, the user
may only want to have video or animation or story of various milestones of their
relationship. The processing unit 305 may only generate the video or animation
comprising the milestones in such scenario.
[0099] Thus, the method 400 may facilitate enhanced interaction of users on the multimedia
platform and keeping their relationship going online, thereby enhancing the user
experience. In one non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure, a server may
perform all the step of method 400. In another non-limiting embodiment of the present
disclosure, the steps of method 400 may be performed in an order different from the
order described above.
