Systems and Methods to Provide Location Information
Systems and methods are provided to facilitate location based services based on locations in virtual worlds and locations in the real world. In one aspect, a location server obtains and provides the locations of avatars of users in different virtual worlds and the locations of mobile devices of the corresponding users in the real world. An application server, for example, may provide location based services in a virtual world based on the location of a mobile device in the real world, or provide location based services to a mobile device based on the location of an avatar in a virtual world, or provide location based services to an avatar in one virtual world based on the location of a related avatar in another virtual world.
