Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- dynamically determining a location-based action that a user can perform at a physical location to obtain an online asset;
causing presentation, on a user interface displayed on a mobile device of the user, of an offer of the online asset for performing the dynamically determined location-based action at the physical location;
receiving verification data indicating performance of the location-based action, the location-based action comprising a physical presence in proximity of the physical location, the verification data including location information generated based on detection of a location of the mobile device using a global positioning system; and
providing, using a processor of a machine, the online asset to the user in response to the receiving of the verification data, the providing the online asset comprises causing an update to a data store that maintains an account of the user.

Abstract
In a method and system of providing in-game assets for location-based actions, an indication of a performance of a location-based action by a player of a computer-implemented game is received. A virtual item is provided based on the receiving of the indication of the performance of the location-based action by the player of the computer-implemented game, the virtual item being usable within the computer-implemented game.

11. A tangible machine-readable storage medium having no transitory signals and storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
-
dynamically determining a location-based action that a user can perform at a physical location to obtain an online asset; causing presentation, on a user interface displayed on a mobile device of the user, of an offer of the online asset for performing the dynamically determined location-based action at the physical location; receiving verification data indicating performance of the location-based action, the location-based action comprising a physical presence in proximity of the physical location, the verification data including location information generated based on detection of a location of the mobile device using a global positioning system; and providing, using a processor of a machine, the online asset to the user in response to the receiving of the verification data, the providing the online asset comprises causing an update to a data store that maintains an account of the user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system comprising:
one or more processors of a machine configured to perform operations comprising; dynamically determining a location-based action that a user can perform at a physical location to obtain an online asset; causing presentation, on a user interface displayed on a mobile device of the user, an offer of the online asset for performing the dynamically determined location-based action at the physical location; receiving verification data indicating performance of the location-based action, the location-based action comprising a physical presence in proximity of the physical location, the verification data including location information generated based on detection of a location of the mobile device using a global positioning system; and providing, using the processor of the machine, the online asset to the user in response to the receiving of the verification data, the providing the online asset comprises causing an update to a data store that maintains an account of the user.
