Meta Platforms had five patents in mobile during Q4 2023. Meta Platforms Inc has filed patents for a virtual personal interface for controlling an artificial reality environment, generating and utilizing digital visual codes, and using a haptics library to determine haptic responses. The personal interface allows for interactions with XR applications, navigation between virtual worlds, and presenting 3D content separately. The digital visual codes contain information about a user’s account and can provide privileges to other devices. The haptics library determines whether to provide predefined or parametrically-defined haptic responses based on desired semantic attributes.

Application: Virtual personal interface for control and travel between virtual worlds (Patent ID: US20230419618A1)
The patent filed by Meta Platforms Inc. describes methods and systems for a virtual personal interface in an artificial reality (XR) environment. This personal interface allows users to interact with XR applications, view detailed information on selected items, navigate between virtual worlds seamlessly, and execute aspects of different XR applications simultaneously. The personal interface can present content in a separate runtime while the user is in a virtual world, enhancing the user experience by providing additional information and functionalities.
The patent claims detail a method for coordinating content display for virtual objects in an XR environment, involving multiple applications and controllers. The method includes providing the XR environment, accessing a personal interface executed in a separate runtime, receiving user selections of virtual objects, accessing controllers through deeplinks, and displaying controller content on the personal interface. The claims also cover various scenarios for user interactions with virtual objects, parameters related to selections, different types of controllers, and the display of content on the personal interface. Overall, the patent aims to enhance user engagement and interaction within XR environments through a versatile and user-friendly personal interface.
