Abstract
A method and system provides transactions and arrangements in virtual world environments. A user can participate in transactions to acquire virtual property and related virtual rights. In some implementations, real-world and virtual parties can be involved in possible transfers and/or transfer revocations involving various types of virtual objects and virtual rights.
Claims21
A system for implementing a future transfer in a virtual world, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory electronically coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, direct the at least one processor to perform the following steps:
- identifying a particular virtual object or virtual right in the virtual world acquired in the virtual world by a real-world donor entity;
- establishing that the future transfer of the particular virtual object or virtual right in the virtual world from the real-world donor entity to a recipient party is subject to revocation;
- and
- triggering a tentative transfer of the particular virtual object or virtual right in the virtual world as a result of a real-world disqualification factor.
