MAPPING TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN THE REAL WORLD AND A VIRTUAL WORLD
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for mapping transactions between a real world and a virtual world, comprising:
- receiving information associated with a real world item at a virtual business object (VBO) controller on a computer system;
receiving information associated with a user at the VBO controller;
generating by the VBO controller a VBO comprising the information associated with the real world item in response to receiving by the VBO controller a decision to buy the real world item;
generating by the VBO controller a VBO light comprising the information associated with the real world item in response to receiving at the VBO controller a decision not to buy the real world item; and
transmitting one of the VBO and the VBO light to a VBO inventory database associated with the user based on the user'"'"'s information.

Abstract
A method for mapping transactions between a real world and a virtual world may include receiving information associated with a real world item at a virtual business object (VBO) controller. Information associated with a user is received at the VBO controller. In response to receiving by the VBO controller a decision to buy the real world item, the VBO controller generates a VBO, which includes the information associated with the real world item. In response to receiving at the VBO controller a decision not to buy the real world item, the VBO controller generates a VBO light, which includes the information associated with the real world item. Either the generated VBO or the VBO light is transmitted to a VBO inventory database associated with the user based on the user'"'"'s information.
