Abstract
A price for use of a digital asset in a set of digital assets is determined. The set of digital assets stored in a digital asset repository. A time slot during which the digital asset is available for use is determined. The digital asset is leased out at the price and during the time slot, the leasing allowing use of the digital asset during the time slot in return for payment of the price. the leased digital asset is integrated with a set of base characteristics of a virtualized user. The integrated leased digital asset is presented in a virtual environment during the time slot.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining a price for use of a digital asset in a set of digital assets, the set of digital assets stored in a digital asset repository;
- determining a time slot during which the digital asset is available for use;
- leasing out, at the price and during the time slot, the digital asset, the leasing allowing use of the digital asset during the time slot in return for payment of the price, the leasing resulting in a leased digital asset;
- integrating, with a set of base characteristics of a virtualized user, the leased digital asset, the integrating resulting in an integrated leased digital asset;
- and
- presenting, in a virtual environment during the time slot, the integrated leased digital asset.
A computer program product for leasing a digital asset, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the stored program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to determine a price for use of the digital asset in a set of digital assets, the set of digital assets stored in a digital asset repository;
- program instructions to determine a time slot during which the digital asset is available for use;
- program instructions to lease out, at the price and during the time slot, the digital asset, the leasing allowing use of the digital asset during the time slot in return for payment of the price, the leasing resulting in a leased digital asset;
- program instructions to integrate, with a set of base characteristics of a virtualized user, the leased digital asset, the integrating resulting in an integrated leased digital asset;
- and
- program instructions to present, in a virtual environment during the time slot, the integrated leased digital asset.
A computer system comprising one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, and one or more computer-readable storage media, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the stored program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to determine a price for use of the digital asset in a set of digital assets, the set of digital assets stored in a digital asset repository;
- program instructions to determine a time slot during which the digital asset is available for use;
- program instructions to lease out, at the price and during the time slot, the digital asset, the leasing allowing use of the digital asset during the time slot in return for payment of the price, the leasing resulting in a leased digital asset;
- program instructions to integrate, with a set of base characteristics of a virtualized user, the leased digital asset, the integrating resulting in an integrated leased digital asset;
- and
- program instructions to present, in a virtual environment during the time slot, the integrated leased digital asset.
