Cyberspace system for accessing virtual reality objects
First Claim
1. A cyberspace system server for supplying a virtual reality space from said server to users'"'"' terminals, characterized in that the virtual reality space is constructed by information objects which supply information and user objects which access the information objects to receive the information, and each of said information objects allows or disallows an access of each of said user objects when F(Si, Su) is true, where Si represents a status of said information object, Su represents a status of said user object and F represents a function for determining allowance or disallowance of the access to said information object.

Abstract
According to the cyberspace system of the present invention, a virtual reality space to be supplied to a user'"'"'s terminals is constructed by information objects for supplying information and user objects for accessing the information objects to receive the information, and each of the information object allows an access of each of the user objects when F(Si, Su) is true: Si represents a status of the information object, Su represents a status of the user object and F represents a function for determining allowance or disallowance of the access to the information object.

5. A cyberspace information network including one or more servers coupled to one or more clients, the server operable to store and control access to information by the clients, the information network comprising:
-
one or more information objects which represent information in a virtual reality space and include associated information and one or more status attributes; and one or more user objects which represent users in the virtual reality space and include one or more status attributes and which are operable to access the information objects to receive the associated information, wherein each of the information objects allows an access of the associated information by each of the user objects within the virtual reality space when F(Si, Su) is true, and wherein Si represents the status attributes of the information object, Su represents the status attributes of the user object, and F represents a function for determining whether a particular user object is permitted to access each of the information objects within the virtual reality space. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A cyberspace information access control method comprising the steps of:
-
assigning one or more status attributes to one or more information objects within a virtual reality space, wherein the information objects include associated information; assigning one or more status attributes to one or more user objects within the virtual reality space, wherein the user objects are operable to access the information objects within the virtual reality space to receive the associated information of the information objects; computing the value of F(Si, Su) where Si represents the status attributes of the information objects, Su represents the status attributes of the user objects, and F represents a function for determining whether a particular user object is permitted to access a particular information object within the virtual reality space; allowing the user objects access to the associated information of the information objects if the computed value of F(Si, Su) is true for the particular information object and the particular user object within the virtual reality space; and disallowing the user objects access to the associated information of the information objects if the computed value of F(Si, Su) is not true for the particular information object and the particular user object within the virtual reality space. - View Dependent Claims (20)
