Xiaomi Files Patent for Developing Blockchain-Powered Virtual Characters
Xiaomi is one
of the biggest mobile phone and tech companies in the world. The company has filed a patent that implements blockchain technology for the creation of
its virtual characters. The patent that has been filed in China mentions
that the creation of the characters will be done using a gene sequence that
will be largely responsible for determining the appearance of the characters.
Xiaomi Introduces Blockchain in Character Generation
Several
industries are adopting blockchain technology for their new products due to its
decentralized and immutable nature. Xiaomi is a Chinese company known for its
mobile phones and gadgets. It has revealed about filing a patent that would
use blockchain technology for the generation of its virtual characters. The
patent, titled "Virtual Character Processing Method, Device, and Storage
Medium," which was introduced in January 2022, has been disclosed recently
by the company.
The company
has announced that its virtual characters will be generated using different
gene sequences. It will be used to determine the images that will identify the
characters. The method determines that each of the characters will be unique
and unpredictable.
Blockchain Segment
The segment
that mentions blockchain in the patent largely involves the storage of the
characters to be created. The characters would use decentralized ledger
technology to store their gene sequences so the unique combination could
be preserved against tampering and distortion.
The concept of the application is still pending, although the patent has been
filed. There is speculation about Xiaomi launching
its metaverse platform with virtual characters as the main draw. But
there is no official confirmation by the company. Xiaomi has earlier flirted
with the crypto world. In 2018, the brand launched its first collection of
NFTs, which it called Crypto Rabbits. But the project was shelved in
March, citing low popularity, according to the sources.
