Game-based incentives for location-based actions
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- identifying one or more computer-implemented games associated with a user;
determining, using at least one processor of a machine, a reward for the user based at least in part on the one or more computer-implemented games, the reward being an in-game asset in the one or more computer-implemented games;
determining a location-based action for the user based on a stored attribute of the physical location, the location-based action being an action performable by the user at a physical location external to the one or more computer-implemented games;
providing an offer of the reward based on performance of the location-based action at the physical location to a device associated with the user; and
crediting the user with the reward based on verification that the user performed the location-based action at the physical location.

1. A method comprising:
-
identifying one or more computer-implemented games associated with a user; determining, using at least one processor of a machine, a reward for the user based at least in part on the one or more computer-implemented games, the reward being an in-game asset in the one or more computer-implemented games; determining a location-based action for the user based on a stored attribute of the physical location, the location-based action being an action performable by the user at a physical location external to the one or more computer-implemented games; providing an offer of the reward based on performance of the location-based action at the physical location to a device associated with the user; and crediting the user with the reward based on verification that the user performed the location-based action at the physical location. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
-
identifying one or more computer-implemented games associated with a user; determining a reward for the user based at least in part on the one or more computer-implemented games, the reward being an in-game asset in the one or more computer-implemented games; determining a location-based action for the user based on a stored attribute of the physical location, the location-based action being an action performable by the user at a physical location external to the one or more computer-implemented games; providing an offer of the reward based on performance of the location-based action at the physical location to a device associated with the user; and crediting the user with the reward based on verification that the user performed the location-based action at the physical location. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system comprising:
-
at least one processor of a machine; and a game networking system configured to; identify one or more computer-implemented games associated with a user; determine a reward for the user based at least in part on the one or more computer-implemented games, the reward being an in-game asset in the one or more computer-implemented games; determine a location-based action for the user based on a stored attribute of the physical location, the location-based action being an action performable by the user at a physical location external to the one or more computer-implemented games; provide an offer of the reward based on performance of the location-based action at the physical location to a device associated with the user; and credit the user with the reward based on verification that the user performed the location-based action at the physical location.
