Platform for associating characteristics of a digital asset with multiple media sources
First Claim
1. A method for managing a stored digital asset on one or more computers independently of a plurality of media sources, the plurality of media sources performing at least different first and second media, the digital asset being represented by digital asset data, the digital asset comprising a plurality of characteristics including at least one alterable characteristic, the digital asset comprising one or more of a virtual character, virtual property, or a game asset, the method comprising:
- sending at least a first portion of the digital asset data to a first one or more of the media sources including at least one alterable characteristic, whereby performance of a first media by the first one or more media sources is affected by the at least one alterable characteristic;
receiving data from the first one or more of the media sources for altering the at least one alterable characteristic based on the performance of the first media and independently of a performance of the second media;
altering, by the one or more computers, the at least one alterable characteristic in the stored digital asset based on the received data to provide updated digital asset data having at least one altered characteristic;
sending at least a second portion of the updated digital asset data including the at least one altered characteristic to a second one or more of the media sources independently of the performance of the first media, the second one or more of the media sources being either the same media sources or different media sources from the first one or more of the media sources, whereby performance of the second media by the second one or more media sources is affected by the at least one altered characteristic.

Abstract
A method for managing a stored digital asset on one or more computers independently of a plurality of media sources. The digital asset includes a plurality of characteristics including at least one alterable characteristic, and includes one or more of a virtual character, virtual property, or a game asset. The method includes sending at least a first portion of the digital asset data to one or more of the media sources including at least one characteristic, whereby performance of media by the one or more media sources is affected by the at least one characteristic, receiving data from the one or more media sources for altering the at least one alterable characteristic, and altering the at least one alterable characteristic in the stored digital asset based on the received data.

14. A method for managing a plurality of digital assets on one or more computers independently of a plurality of media sources including first and second media sources, the plurality of media sources performing at least different first and second media, each of the digital assets comprising one or more of a virtual character and virtual property and being represented by digital asset data, the digital asset data comprising a plurality of characteristics including at least one alterable characteristic, the method comprising:
-
enabling a user to access at least a portion of the digital asset data for at least one of the plurality of digital assets independently of performing either the first media or the second media; and providing the accessed digital asset data to each of the first and second media sources, whereby the performance of the first and second media by the first and second media sources is affected by the accessed digital asset data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. An apparatus for facilitating performance of different first media and second media by a plurality of media sources, the apparatus comprising:
at least one computer networked with the plurality of media sources, the at least one computer comprising; a database storing a plurality of digital assets, each digital asset comprising digital asset data comprising identification information, user information, and a plurality of characteristics including alterable characteristics; a first interface configured to receive requests and identification information from one or more media sources, send digital asset data to one or more media sources for performing the first and second media, and receive data from one or more media sources based on performing the first and second media for altering one or more alterable characteristics; a processor configured to retrieve digital asset data in response to the requests and identification information for sending via the interface, and configured to alter the one or more alterable characteristics in response to the received data; and a second interface enabling a user to access at least a portion of the digital asset data for at least one of the plurality of digital assets independently of performing either the first media or the second media. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
