US 11,887,229 B2 · Method and system for populating a digital environment using a semantic map

Abstract

A method of populating a digital environment with digital content is disclosed. Environment data describing the digital environment is accessed. Populator data describing a populator digital object is accessed. The populator data includes semantic data describing the populator digital object. The populator digital object is placed within the digital environment. A semantic map representation of the populator digital object is generated. The semantic map representation is divided into a plurality of cells. A target cell of the plurality of cells is selected as a placeholder in the digital environment for a digital object that is optionally subsequently instantiated. The selecting of the target cell is based on an analysis of the environment data, the populator data, and the semantic map representation. Placeholder data is recorded in the semantic map representation. The placeholder data includes properties corresponding to the digital object that is optionally subsequently instantiated.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

one or more computer processors;
one or more computer memories;
a set of instructions stored in the one or more computer memories, the set of instructions configuring the one or more computer processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
generating a semantic map representation of a digital object;
generating an updated semantic map representation of the digital object based on a modification to at least one of a dimension of the digital object and a location of the digital object within an environment;
dividing the semantic map into a first plurality of cells;
dividing the updated semantic map into a second plurality of cells;
mapping a cell in the first plurality of cells to a cell in the second plurality of cells based on a similarity of properties between the cell of the first plurality of cells to the cell in the second plurality of cells;
and
transferring data from the cell in the first plurality of cells to the cell in the second plurality of cells.
