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.
      1. Potential Applications
  • Location-based marketing and sales strategies
  • Augmented reality gaming experiences
  • Virtual tourism and exploration applications
      1. Problems Solved
  • Targeted marketing based on physical location
  • Enhanced user engagement through location-specific virtual goods
  • Monetization of virtual environments and experiences
      1. 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.
