Patent ID: 8898325

Claim:
A method to facilitate transactions in association with a digital synthetic environment, the method comprising: using a processor to generate data representing a synthetic spatial environment through collaboration between a first game management server and a second game management server; associating portions of the synthetic spatial environment with respective first and second processes among the first and second game management servers; receiving data representing a request to perform a transaction in association with the respective first and second processes associated with the synthetic environment; providing a common process space for the transaction aggregated from the first and second processes, wherein the providing of the common process space comprises: exchanging game data related to the first process to the second game management server and game data related to the second process to the first game management server in the common process space; determining whether all parts of the updating operation occur, wherein the determining of whether all parts of the updating operation occur comprises: confirming the exchanging of the game data by a first user relating to the first process and a second user relating to the second process; and verifying whether the exchanging of the game data violates a rule, the rule including a specific amount of memory sufficient to store an acquired item exists, at least one participant relating to the first and second processes to be of a certain stature, or any combination thereof; in the event that all parts of the updating operation did not occur, nullifying the exchanging of the game data; and performing the transaction in association with the common process space, wherein the stature relates to an amount of experience in the synthetic environment or points related to the synthetic environment.
