Patent ID: 8145516

Claim:
An automated method for a cross-virtual-world resource scheduling framework comprising: providing to a user a scheduling interface on a user interface portion of a computing platform, the scheduling interface allowing creation of a cross-world virtual world event, wherein the cross-world virtual event is to be scheduled in a plurality of virtual world computing platforms, the plurality including at least two virtual world computing platforms which are incapable of interaction between the at least two virtual world computing platforms; creating by a computing platform a new cross-world virtual world event to be associated with a virtual identity for said user, wherein the new cross-world virtual world event is scheduled and reserved to occur at a future time in said at least two virtual world computing platforms which are incapable of interaction; communicating by a computing platform the created event to said plurality of virtual world computing platforms using one or more cross-channel notifications to achieve cross platform scheduling among the at least two virtual world computing platforms which are incapable of interaction; and notifying by a computing platform a plurality of participants other than said user of said created event, wherein the plurality of participants includes at least one participant from at least each of the at least two virtual world computing platforms which are incapable of interaction, and wherein the notifying is performed using one or more cross-channel notifications.
