Abstract

An interactive platform system, which can be applied in a metaverse environment or an educational field, for solving the problem that the functionality of conventional platform system is limited. The interactive platform system includes a communication scene which has a public area and a limited area within the public area defined in an interface arrangement of the communication scene. When a virtual character of a user is in the public area, an information transmitted by the user is public, and when the virtual character of the user is in the limited area, the information transmitted by the user is only receivable by corresponding virtual characters of other users who are in the limited area at the same time. An educational metaverse interactive platform system is also provided.

wherein when a virtual character of the user is in the public area, an information transmitted by the user is public;

wherein when the virtual character of the user is in the limited area, the information transmitted by the user is only receivable by corresponding virtual characters of other users who are in the limited area at the same time;

wherein the user of the virtual character that first enters the limited area has the power of managing the limited area and be capable of selecting virtual characters of other users to enter or excluding virtual characters of other users from entering the limited areas.

2 . The interactive platform system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a verification device for detecting recognizable biological information of the user;

wherein the platform module further includes a log-in module for the user to verify his or her identity to complete a log-in procedure of the interactive platform system;

wherein the platform database further includes a user database having a verifying information database for saving verification information of each user for logging in the interactive platform system, and the verification information includes the recognizable biological information of the user;

wherein the verification device, the processing module, the verifying information database and the log-in module are coupled with each other, when the user has the biological information detected by the verification device, the processing module receives and determines whether the biological information detected by the verification device is identical to the biological information in the verifying information database;

wherein when the processing module determines the biological information detected by the verification device and the biological information in the verifying information database are identical, the processing module sends a corresponding control instruction to the log-in module to activate the log-in module to complete the log-in procedure of the user.

3 . The interactive platform system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a verification device for detecting recognizable biological information of the user;

wherein the platform module further includes a character module coupled with the character database to display multiple prebuilt virtual characters through the image-playing equipment for the user to select;

wherein the platform database further includes a user database having a verifying information database and a preferred setting, wherein the verifying information database saves verification information of each user for logging in the interactive platform system, and the verification information includes the recognizable biological information of the user;

wherein the preferred setting saves a predetermined association information, which records the choices of each user from the character database;

wherein the verification device, the processing module, the verifying information database, the character module and the preferred setting are coupled with each other, when the user has the biological information detected by the verification device, the processing module receives and determines whether the biological information detected by the verification device is identical to the biological information in the verifying information database;

wherein when the processing module determines the biological information detected by the verification device and the biological information in the verifying information database are identical, the processing module sends a corresponding control instruction to the character module to load in the predetermined association information saved in the preferred setting, to correspondingly link to the character database to load in a corresponding virtual character.

4 . The interactive platform system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a verification device for detecting recognizable biological information of the user;

wherein the scene module further includes a user scene providing each user a corresponding personal space for the user to select one or more of corresponding scene information and object information from the platform database;

wherein the platform database further includes a user database having a verifying information database and a preferred setting, wherein the verifying information database saves verification information of each user for logging in the interactive platform system, and the verification information includes the recognizable biological information of the user;

wherein the preferred setting saves a predetermined association information, which records the choices of each user from the corresponding user scene;

wherein the verification device, the processing module, the verifying information database, the scene module, the platform database and the preferred setting are coupled with each other, when the user has the biological information detected by the verification device, the processing module receives and determines whether the biological information detected by the verification device is identical to the biological information in the verifying information database;

wherein when the processing module determines the biological information detected by the verification device and the biological information in the verifying information database are identical, the processing module sends a corresponding control instruction to the scene module to load in the predetermined association information saved in the preferred setting, to correspondingly link to the platform database to load in corresponding user scenes.

5 . The interactive platform system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a verification device and an external unit; the verification device is configured for detecting recognizable biological information of the user;

wherein the external unit includes an external processing module and an external user database;

wherein the external user database has an external verification dataset and an external personal dataset;
