20090287728 | TAG ALONG SHOPPING - A method for browsing in a virtual environment includes generating a plurality of tag data collections from multiple tag data sources. A plurality of virtual online browsing modes are presented using a computer having data storage. A browsing mode is selected by a user, wherein the browsing mode specified includes tag data and preference data. The tag data collection is analyzed for tag data associated with the browsing mode data. At least one specified tag collection from the plurality of tag collections is generated using the selected browsing mode. Associated tag data is determined from the specified tag collection and a user's tag data. A tag data group is generated from the tag data collection analysis using the tag sets, and a three-dimensional virtual environment is generated and presented on the computer using the tag data group, which may present the user with a plurality of goods and/or services. | 11-19-2009 |
20100100487 | VIRTUAL WORLD CONTEST, AUCTION, ELECTION, SALES METHOD FOR NOTIFICATION AND INTERACTION WITH THE REAL WORLD - A method and system for conducting contests, auctions, elections, or sales are disclosed. A user in a real world can participate in an event in a virtual world without knowing the event occurs in the virtual world. Information related to the event is first transmitted from the virtual world to the real world in accordance with an inter-world protocol. In the real world, the information is broadcasted via a communication channel. A user in the real world provides a feedback for the event by calling or text messaging. The feedback from the user is transmitted from the real world to the virtual world. The feedback is collected in the real world or in the virtual world. Based on the number of feedbacks, a winner is selected in the event in the virtual world. The winner is also informed to the real world in accordance with the inter-world protocol. | 04-22-2010 |
20100269053 | METHOD FOR SECURITY AND MARKET SURVEILLANCE OF A VIRTUAL WORLD ASSET THROUGH INTERACTIONS WITH A REAL WORLD MONITORING CENTER - An embodiment of the invention provides a method for security and market surveillance of a virtual world asset through interactions with a real world monitoring center. The method monitors at least one virtual world object in a virtual world, including detecting at least one virtual world event associated with the virtual world object. A notification of the virtual world event is received by a real world operations center. In response to the receiving of the notification, the real world operations center automatically sends the real world response to an end user and/or the virtual world response to the virtual world. The real world response includes a telephone call, a text message, an email, an audible alert, and/or a silent alert. | 10-21-2010 |
