Abstract

An information processing system includes processing circuitry configured to acquire an input given by a user; acquire, using a machine learning model constructed by artificial intelligence, a specific image obtained by inputting the given input to the first machine learning model; and associate the specific image with a specific item usable in a virtual space.

Claims (53)

associate the specific image with a specific item usable in a virtual space.

2 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the specific item includes at least one of an item associated with an avatar in the virtual space and an item placed in the virtual space.

3 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to

acquire, using a machine learning model constructed by artificial intelligence, shape information of the specific item obtained by inputting the given input to the second machine learning model, and

shape the specific item based on the shape information.

4 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to

acquire, using a machine learning model constructed by artificial intelligence, item surface information obtained by inputting the given input to the third machine learning model, and

set or change at least one of a pattern, a fabric, a decoration, and a texture of the specific item based on the item surface information.

5 . The information processing system according to claim 3 , wherein

the specific item includes at least one of an item associated with an avatar in the virtual space and an item placed in the virtual space, and

the processing circuitry is further configured to edit the shape information based on information on the avatar to be associated with the specific item or information on the space in which the specific item is to be placed.

6 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein

the specific item includes an item associated with an avatar in the virtual space, and

the processing circuitry is further configured to edit the item surface information based on information on the avatar with which the specific item is to be associated.

7 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the given input includes at least one of a text, a symbol, a pictogram, a digit figure, a color, a texture, an image, a sound, a gesture, and a combination of any two or more of these.

8 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to collect evaluation results from a plurality of users in the virtual space with respect to the specific item with which the specific image is associated, or an avatar with which the specific item is associated.

9 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry simultaneously associates the specific image or a derivative image obtained by changing a part of the specific image with the specific items related to a plurality of avatars.

10 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to

calculate a value of a specific parameter related to similarity between the specific item with which the specific image is associated and another item that is usable in the virtual space, and

output the value of the specific parameter.

11 . The information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein the processing circuitry calculates the value of the specific parameter related to the one specific item with which the specific image is associated, based on the specific image associated with the one specific item and the given input used to acquire the specific image.

12 . The information processing system according to claim 11 , wherein the processing circuitry calculates the value of the specific parameter related to the one specific item with which the specific image is associated further based on an attribute of the one specific item.

13 . The information processing system according to claim 11 , wherein

the processing circuitry is further configured to calculate a value of a first parameter related to similarity between the specific image and an image associated with the other item, and

the value of the specific parameter includes the value of the first parameter or a value based on the value of the first parameter.

14 . The information processing system according to claim 13 , wherein the processing circuitry calculates the value of the first parameter based on at least one of a color, a texture, and a pattern.

15 . The information processing system according to claim 13 , wherein the processing circuitry calculates the value of the first parameter based on three-dimensional views seen from a plurality of viewpoints.

16 . The information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein

the processing circuitry is further configured to calculate a value of a second parameter related to similarity between the given input used to acquire the specific image and another input corresponding to the given input and used to generate an image associated with the other item, and

the value of the specific parameter includes the value of the second parameter or a value based on the value of the second parameter.

17 . The information processing system according to claim 16 , wherein the processing circuitry calculates the value of the second parameter based on a relationship between a text included in the given input and a text included in the other input.

18 . The information processing system according to claim 16 , wherein

the given input and the other input each further include a random seed value, and

the processing circuitry calculates the value of the second parameter based on a relationship between the seed value included in the given input and the seed value included in the other input.

19 . The information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to permit, prohibit, or restrict use or distribution in the virtual space of the specific item with which the specific image, based on the value of the specific parameter.

20 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to manage, in association with the given input, the specific image or the specific item with which the specific image is associated.

21 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to

determine whether the given input satisfies a predetermined condition, and

in a case where the given input satisfies the predetermined condition, prohibit or restrict use or distribution in the virtual space of the specific image acquired based on the given input.

22 . The information processing system according to claim 21 , wherein the predetermined condition is satisfied when a possibility of infringing another person's intellectual property right is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value or when a possibility of violating public order or morality is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value.

23 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to issue and manage a non-fungible token based on the specific image or the specific item with which the specific image is associated.
