    摘要: A method and system provides for the use of credit arrangements in simulated environments. A user can participate in credit transactions involving purchases of virtual products, virtual services, and virtual items of value. Feedback is provided to the user regarding results of the credit transactions. In some embodiments multiple users can make simulated purchases or incur simulated credit obligations that are posted to virtual accounts, and the multiple users can also make simulated compensation against balances due or obligations owed for said virtual accounts. The user is also provided with an opportunity of engaging in real-world financial transactions related to the virtual credit arrangement. In some implementations of the system and method, multiple players at different locations can use virtual charge accounts and/or real world financial accounts in connection with arranging or resolving a virtual credit transaction. One implementation includes a virtual credit account available for use in a fictional world environment, wherein a real-world person or entity is identified to be responsible for compliance and payment obligations arising from usage of the virtual credit account.

    摘要: In one aspect, a technique including receiving at least a portion of at least one shared image at a receiving image device from at least one capturing image device that has captured the at least the portion of the at least one shared image. Either the capturing image device or the receiving image device is monitored to determine a value of a memory storage portion of the receiving image device. At least some data is transmitted from either the capturing image device or the receiving image device, that is being monitored, to an image storage device that is external to the memory storage portion of the receiving image device, when the value of the memory storage portion exceeds a prescribed value.

    摘要: Embodiments include an apparatus, device, system, computer-program product, and method. In an embodiment, system includes a computing system couplable to a virtual world via a network, and instructions. The instructions when executed by the computing system cause the computing system to generate a signal responsive to a received participant input and operable to affect a character in the virtual world. The instructions also cause the computing system to identify an occurrence of a defined loss suffered by the character. The defined loss described in a risk management agreement that includes an obligation of a protection entity to provide a benefit to the participant upon an occurrence in the virtual world of the defined loss.
