Sony patents system that swaps virtual objects if they fail rules
Sony describes a method for managing content in a virtual space by checking if specific elements meet certain output conditions. If an element does not meet the condition, the system automatically selects an alternative element from a list of candidates to replace it.
In the filing’s own words
Provided is an information processing device including a condition acquisition unit that acquires an output condition related to output of content in a virtual space, a determination unit that determines whether or not at least one element of multiple elements constituting the content output in the virtual space meets the output condition, in reference to information related to the output condition, and a selection unit that selects, in a case of determination that at least one element of the multiple elements does not meet the output condition, an alternative element to be used instead of the element not meeting the output condition from alternative element candidates.

1. An information processing device comprising: a condition acquisition unit that acquires an output condition related to output of content in a virtual space; a determination unit that determines whether or not at least one element of multiple elements constituting the content output in the virtual space meets the output condition, in reference to information related to the output condition; and a selection unit that selects, in a case of determination that at least one element of the multiple elements does not meet the output condition, an alternative element to be used instead of the element not meeting the output condition, from alternative element candidates.
