Systems, methods, and computer readable media for providing information related to virtual environments to wireless devices
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing information related to a virtual environment, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving first input identifying a condition related to the virtual environment for which a notification is to be provided to a mobile wireless communication device;
determining that the condition is occurring;
determining whether the condition is within a predetermined distance of the mobile wireless communication device;
responsive to determining that the condition is within the predetermined distance, providing the notification to the mobile wireless communication device of the condition;
receiving second input instructing that the notification corresponding to the condition related to the virtual environment be sent to the mobile wireless communication device of a user and that a further notification corresponding to the condition related to a further virtual environment be sent to a further mobile wireless communication device of the user;
upon determining that the condition is related to the virtual environment, then providing the notification to the mobile wireless communication device; and
upon determining that the condition is related to the further virtual environment, then providing the further notification to the further mobile wireless communication device.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed for providing information related to virtual environments. One such method includes receiving user input identifying an event related to the virtual environment for which a notification is to be provided to a mobile wireless communication device. User input is also received identifying an output to be provided by the mobile wireless communication device in response to receipt of the notification. A determination is then made that the event related to the virtual environment has occurred. In response to determining that the event occurred, the mobile wireless communication device is provided with the notification, and the output identified by the user input is provided by the mobile wireless communication device.

7. A system for providing information related to a virtual environment, comprising:
-
a processor; and memory comprising instructions to be executed by the processor, wherein the instructions are configured to enable the processor to perform a method comprising; receiving first input identifying a condition related to the virtual environment for which a notification is to be provided to a mobile wireless communication device, determining that the condition is occurring, determining whether the condition is within a predetermined distance of the mobile wireless communication device, responsive to determining that the condition is within the predetermined distance, providing the notification to the mobile wireless communication device of the condition, receiving second input instructing that the notification corresponding to the condition related to the virtual environment be sent to the mobile wireless communication device of a user and that a further notification corresponding to the condition related to a further virtual environment be sent to a further mobile wireless communication device of the user, upon determining that the condition is related to the virtual environment, then providing the notification to the mobile wireless communication device, and upon determining that the condition is related to the further virtual environment, then providing the further notification to the further mobile wireless communication device. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving first input identifying a condition related to the virtual environment for which a notification is to be provided to a mobile wireless communication device; determining that the condition is occurring; determining whether the condition is within a predetermined distance of the mobile wireless communication device; responsive to determining that the condition is within the predetermined distance, providing the notification to the mobile wireless communication device of the condition; receiving second input instructing that the notification corresponding to the condition related to the virtual environment be sent to the mobile wireless communication device of a user and that a further notification corresponding to the condition related to a further virtual environment be sent to a further mobile wireless communication device of the user; upon determining that the condition is related to the virtual environment, then providing the notification to the mobile wireless communication device; and upon determining that the condition is related to the further virtual environment, then providing the further notification to the further mobile wireless communication device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
