Use of Secondary Sources for Location and Behavior Tracking

Abstract

In a method modifying a user's virtual environment, a tracking module identifies a user identity and determines the location of the user. The tracking module retrieves historical user data associated with the user identity and the user location and identifies one or more patterns of user behavior using an analytical technique based on the historical user data. Upon determining one or more patterns from the data, the tracking module predicts user behavior associated with at least one parameter associated with the location and modifies at least one of a user virtual environment and a user avatar characteristics based on the predicted user behavior.
