==SALE OF VIRTUAL GOODS BASED ON PHYSICAL LOCATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17899191 titled 'SALE OF VIRTUAL GOODS BASED ON PHYSICAL LOCATION

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes methods, apparatus, and non-transitory machine-readable media for selling virtual goods based on physical location.

* An apparatus includes a memory device and a processing device.
* The processing device can detect a computing device within a threshold radius of a first physical location.
* It can display a virtual environment associated with the physical location via a user interface of the computing device.
* The apparatus can provide a virtual good for sale via the user interface based on a second physical location of the computing device within the first physical location.

### Potential Applications
* Location-based marketing and sales strategies
* Augmented reality gaming experiences
* Virtual tourism and exploration applications

### Problems Solved
* Targeted marketing based on physical location
* Enhanced user engagement through location-specific virtual goods
* Monetization of virtual environments and experiences

### Benefits
* Increased sales through targeted marketing
* Enhanced user experience through location-based virtual goods
* Monetization opportunities for physical locations and virtual environments


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Methods, apparatus, and non-transitory machine-readable media associated with sale of virtual goods based on physical location are described. An apparatus can include a memory device and a processing device communicatively coupled to the memory device. The processing device can detect a computing device within a threshold radius of a first physical location, display a virtual environment associated with the physical location via a user interface of the computing device, and provide a virtual good for sale via the user interface based on a second physical location of the computing device within the first physical location.
