Abstract:
Un ecosistema independiente de plataforma y de aplicación para la creación, consumo e intercambio o comercio de contenido digital generado por usuario permite que cualquier aplicación que opera en cualquier plataforma participe en economía manejada por el mercado para objetos digitales generados por usuario (UGDOs). El sistema de comercio es independiente de todas las aplicaciones participantes. Un método de atribución de metadatos para UGDOs en combinación con soporte de aplicación heterogénea a través de interfases bien definidas facilita la participación no limitada. Los metadatos atribuidos pueden entenderse y consumirse a través de plataformas y aplicaciones. Las técnicas de imposición de derechos de UGDO flexibles en combinación con servicio de intercambio justo flexible para esos derechos soportan todas las formas de UGDOs y, por lo tanto, transacciones comerciales. Las aplicaciones participantes pueden proporcionar imposición de derechos en algunos casos. La naturaleza de la imposición puede yacer sobre la naturaleza de contenido de UGDO, derechos en UGDOs o preferencias de autor. El sistema de intercambio o comercio asegura que todas las transacciones en la economía de UGDO son seguras, tolerantes a fallas y atómicas, lo que proporciona integridad y confianza en la economía de UGDO.
Abstract:
Techniques for recognizing the accomplishments of a game player are disclosed herein. In particular, a user identification profile is provided so that digital items awarded to the user for meeting specified performance criteria in a video game or some other event may be associated with such user identification profile. The digital item may be something that is usable within the current video game title, in a later version or the next generation of a particular video game title, or even in a different video game by the same developer. One technique involves receiving an identification representative of the digital item awarded to the user, associating the digital item with the user identification profile corresponding to the user, and storing an indication that the digital item is associated with the user identification profile. In this way, the indication may be utilized to display the digital item in the user identification profile.
Abstract:
A platform and application independent ecosystem for the creation, consumption and trade of user generated digital content permits any application operating on any platform to participate in market driven economy for user generated digital objects (UGDOs). The trading system is independent of all participating applications. A metadata attribution method for UGDOs in combination with heterogeneous application support through well-defined interfaces facilitates unlimited participation. Attributed metadata may be understood and consumed across platforms and applications. Flexible UGDO rights enforcement techniques in combination with flexible fair exchange service for those rights support all manner of UGDOs and commercial transactions therefore. Participating application may provide rights enforcement in some instances. The nature of enforcement may rest on the nature of UGDO content, rights in UGDOs or author preferences. The trading system assures that all transactions in the UGDO economy are secure, fault tolerant and atomic, providing integrity and confidence in UGDO economy.
