    摘要: The present invention provides an approach to invoke advertisement(s) in a VU. Specifically, an advertisement is virtually associated with a user of the virtual space. The advertisement will then be visually referenced in the VU, and optionally distinguished/highlighted (e.g., using visual effects such as colors, icons, flashing icons, etc.). The advertisement will be invoked in response to a trigger occurring in the VU user in the). Once invoked, an action associated with the advertisement will be executed. The present invention can also allow for advertising user to be compensated for allowing their asset(s) to be associated with advertisement(s). Such compensation can be in the form of credits associated with the VU being provided to the advertising user and/or compensation to be provided to the user outside of the VU (e.g., in the real world in the form of money, gift certificates, goods and/or services, etc.).

    摘要翻译: 本发明提供了一种在VU中调用广告的方法。 具体地,广告实际上与虚拟空间的用户相关联。 然后,该广告将在VU中被视觉地引用,并且可选地区分/突出显示(例如,使用诸如颜色,图标,闪烁图标等的视觉效果)。 响应于在VU用户中发生的触发将会调用该广告)。 一旦被调用,将会执行与广告相关联的动作。 本发明还可以允许广告用户被补偿以允许他们的资产与广告相关联。 这样的补偿可以是与提供给广告用户的VU相关联的信用形式和/或要在VU之外提供给用户的补偿(例如,在现实世界中以货币,礼券,货物的形式 和/或服务等)。

    摘要: In general, the present invention allows advertising content to be targeted in a VU. Specifically, users' VU inventories that include visible assets are made available to an advertiser or other third party. This asset information is analyzed by the other party to determine the user's potential real world interests. Based on this analysis, the advertising content providers can target advertising content for real world goods and services.

    摘要: the present invention provides an approach for planning and paying for advertisements in a VU. Specifically, under the present invention, it is first determined which sections of a region of the VU (referred to herein as “portions” or the VU), and which avatars are most viewed. This data is the analyzed to plan and place advertisements. Once advertisements are placed, users coupled be compensated based on the frequency, time, etc. that associated advertisements are viewed.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to attaching an external virtual universe to an existing virtual universe. A method for enhancing a preexisting virtual universe (VU) in a computerized system may include providing an external virtual universe in a second computerized system, where the external virtual universe is configured so as to be attachable to the first, preexisting virtual universe. As a result, residents of virtual universes can create, run, and/or host their real estate, inventory items, and/or avatars (including all necessary geometries, textures, scripts, etc.) using their own computing devices, which may be inserted, attached, and detached from the VU grid.

    摘要: A system for analyzing social networks includes a memory storing a social network data structure, a correlation engine, a trigger function module, and a reporting module. The social network data structure includes a plurality of attributes, a plurality of nodes, each of the nodes corresponding to an entity and having at least one of the attributes associated with the entity, and at least one connection connecting at least two of the nodes. The system also includes at least one processor, coupled to the memory. The at least one processor is operative to execute the correlation engine to examine at least one of the nodes as a subject node. The subject node is coupled to at least one other one of the nodes, comprising a data node, by at least the at least one connection. The examination by the correlation engine is carried out to determine at least one of the attributes comprising a related attribute of the subject node and the at least one other one of the nodes, comprising the data node. The at least one processor is also operative to execute the trigger function module to determine if the reporting module should be executed to provide the report. Further, responsive to determining that the reporting module should be executed, the at least one processor is operative to execute the reporting module to provide a report indicating a correlation assessment to the subject node, the correlation assessment being related to the at least one related attribute. A method, apparatus, and computer program product are also provided.

    摘要: In various embodiments, virtual universe regions are dynamically generated within a virtual universe based on user requests. Dynamic generation allows virtual universe users or “residents” to create virtual universe regions that are tailored to their desired specifications. Additionally, in some implementations, virtual universe users may have the option to instantly discard or retain a created region after evaluation based on whether the region meets the user's expectations. Furthermore, dynamic generation of regions may increase user satisfaction and provide additional means for revenue generation for the virtual universe administrator and for virtual universe businesses and entrepreneurs.

    摘要: Generally speaking, systems, methods and media for authenticating a user to a server based on previous authentications to other servers are disclosed. Embodiments of a method for authenticating a user to a server may include receiving a request to authenticate the user to the server and determining whether authenticating the user requires matching an authentication plan. If a plan is required, the method may also include accessing a stored authentication plan with authentication records each having expected information relating to user access to a different server. The method may also include receiving an indication of the user's current authentication plan from an authentication store where the plan has authorization records each having current information relating to user access. Embodiments of the method may also include comparing the stored authentication plan with the received current authentication plan to determine whether they match and, in response to a match, authenticating the user.
