MANAGING EPHEMERAL LOCATIONS IN A VIRTUAL UNIVERSE |
| 摘要 |
Systems and methods for advertising, and, more particularly, systems and methods for managing ephemeral locations in a virtual universe. A method for managing ephemeral locations in a virtual universe (VU) includes causing a computer infrastructure to: render an ephemeral location upon a triggering in the VU; teleport a VU user avatar to the ephemeral location; permit the user avatar to interact in the ephemeral location; teleport the user avatar out of the ephemeral location; and un-render the ephemeral location. |

1. A system for advertising in a virtual universe (VU), comprising a computer infrastructure structured and arranged to:
render an ephemeral location in the VU; update a state table regarding information associated with the rendered ephemeral location; transport a user avatar from the VU grid to the ephemeral location; present a VU-ad to the user at the ephemeral location; transport the user avatar from the ephemeral location back to the VU grid; un-render the ephemeral location to cause the ephemeral location to disappear from the VU; and update the state table to indicate that the ephemeral location has been un-rendered. |
