USER-RESPONSIVE RENDERING OF A VIRTUAL UNIVERSE ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A method for user-defined configuration of a rendering of a virtual universe domain environment, comprising:
- a first user of the virtual universe domain environment selecting or defining an artifact tag comprising rendering data and a protocol for applying the tag to an artifact of the virtual universe domain, the protocol comprising a compliance prerequisite for rendering the tag information to another user of the virtual universe domain environment;
the first user requesting application of the tag to an artifact item within the virtual universe domain, the requesting setting or updating a protocol compliance value;
an avatar of a second user engaging the artifact item; and
a virtual universe client of the engaging second user avatar rendering the artifact item to the second user in compliance with the tag rendering data if the set or the updated compliance value meets the compliance prerequisite.

Abstract
Methods, services, program products and devices are provided for user-defined configuration of a rendering of a virtual universe domain environment. A first user of a virtual universe domain environment selects or defines an artifact tag comprising rendering data and a protocol for applying the tag to an artifact of the virtual universe domain, the protocol comprising a compliance prerequisite for rendering the tag information to another second user of the virtual universe domain environment. A first user requesting application of a tag to an artifact item within the virtual universe domain, causes a setting or updating of a protocol compliance value. An avatar of another, second second user engaging the artifact item causes a virtual universe client of the engaging second user avatar to render the item to the second user in compliance with the tag rendering data if a set or updated compliance value meets a compliance prerequisite.

8. A service for user-responsive configuration of a rendering of a virtual universe domain environment, comprising:
-
a service provider deploying an application for user-defined configuration of a rendering of a virtual universe domain environment defining a tag comprising data, a virtual universe environment rendering requirement associated with the tag data, and a protocol for applying the tag to an artifact of the virtual universe domain, the protocol comprising a compliance prerequisite for rendering the tag information to a user of the virtual universe domain environment; the service provider setting or updating a compliance value of the protocol in response to a request for application of the tag to an artifact item within the virtual universe domain by a first user; in response to an avatar of a second user of the virtual universe domain engaging the artifact item, the service provider causing a virtual universe client of the engaging second user to render the artifact item to the second user in association with the tag data if the set or the updated compliance value meets the compliance prerequisite. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

11. A method for user-defined configuration of a rendering of a virtual universe domain environment, comprising:
-
producing computer executable program code; storing the code on a computer readable medium; providing the program code to be deployed and executed on a computer system engaging a virtual universe domain, the program code causing the computer system to; enable a first user of the virtual universe domain environment to select or define an artifact tag comprising rendering data and a protocol for applying the tag to an artifact of the virtual universe domain, the protocol comprising a compliance prerequisite for rendering the tag information to another user of the virtual universe domain environment; enable the first user to request application of the tag to an artifact item within the virtual universe domain, the requesting setting or updating a protocol compliance value; and cause a virtual universe client of a second user engaging the artifact item to render the artifact item to the second user in compliance with the tag rendering data if the set or the updated compliance value meets the compliance prerequisite. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A programmable device comprising:
-
a processing means; a memory in communication with the processing means; and a network interface in communication with the processing means and the memory; wherein the processing means is configured to; enable a first user of a virtual universe domain environment to select or define an artifact tag comprising rendering data and a protocol for applying the tag to an artifact of the virtual universe domain, the protocol comprising a compliance prerequisite for rendering the tag information to another user of the virtual universe domain environment; enable the first user to request application of the tag to an artifact item within the virtual universe domain, the requesting setting or updating a protocol compliance value; and cause a virtual universe client of a second user engaging the artifact item to render the artifact item to the second user in compliance with the tag rendering data if the set or the updated compliance value meets the compliance prerequisite. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
