Abstract:
A virtual reality device is configured to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that replicate a real or imagined environment for a user. As a first user interacts with the device, first user interaction data representing interactions between the first user and the device during a first user visit are recorded. A first unique visitor fingerprint is generated based on the first user interaction data. As a second user interacts with the device, second user interaction data representing interactions between the second user and the device during a second user visit that is different from the first user visit are recorded. A second unique visitor fingerprint is generated based on the second user interaction data. The first and second unique visitor fingerprints are compared to determine whether the second user is the same as the first user. Based on the determination, one or more functions can be performed.

Claim (Index 10):
A computer-implemented method for identifying a user of a virtual reality device, the method comprising:\n receiving, from at least one virtual reality device, first user interaction data representing a first plurality of interactions between a first user and the at least one virtual reality device during a first user visit, the at least one virtual reality device configured to generate at least one of realistic images, sounds and other sensations that replicate a real or imagined environment; a step for generating a first unique visitor fingerprint based on the first user interaction data; receiving, from the at least one virtual reality device, second user interaction data representing a second plurality of interactions between a second user and the at least one virtual reality device during a second user visit that is different from the first user visit; a step for generating a second unique visitor fingerprint based on the second user interaction data; comparing the first and second unique visitor fingerprints; and determining whether or not the second user is the same as the first user based on the comparison, wherein the step for generating at least one of the first and second unique visitor fingerprints based on the first and second user interaction data, respectively, includes:\n determining one or more available use features of the virtual reality device; and \n determining which of the one or more available use features are useful for generating one or both of the first and second visitor fingerprints; \n combining the useful use features into one or both of the first and second visitor fingerprints.
