Xiaomi Obtains Patent for Unique Virtual Character Creation
A Beijing subsidiary of Xiaomi announced on July 15 that a patent entitled “Image Parameter Generation Method, Device and Storage Medium of Reproductive Virtual Characters” has been authorized.
The patent introduction shows that it can generate virtual characters with different images according to different gene sequences, and the generated images of virtual characters are unpredictable, increasing the interest of generating virtual characters. Related information can also be stored with blockchain, so as to ensure that virtual characters are unique, unrepeatable and cannot be destroyed.
