Publication number: 20230121413Abstract: In examples, a device's native input interface (e.g., a soft keyboard) may be invoked using interaction areas associated with image frames from an application, such as a game. An area of an image frame(s) from a streamed game video may be designated (e.g., by the game and/or a game server) as an interaction area. When an input event associated with the interaction area is detected, an instruction may be issued to the client device to invoke a user interface (e.g., a soft keyboard) of the client device and may cause the client device to present a graphical input interface. Inputs made to the presented graphical input interface may be accessed by the game streaming client and provided to the game instance.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Prakash Yadav, Charu Kalani, Stephen Holmes, David Wilson, David Le Tacon, James Lewis van Welzen

Patent number: 11617951Abstract: A game summary may be produced using an event log of in-game events and corresponding game content based on game data associated with a gameplay session(s). The event log may include metadata that indicates times of in-game events and associations between in-game events and game content items that capture the in-game events. A user may interact with in-game events with temporal context, allowing for more informed selections and a better understanding of the gameplay session. Using the event log, a game summary may provide such features as a timeline to convey relative timing of in-game events, a list of in-game events, a map of a virtual environment of the game that is temporally annotated based on in-game events, game status information, and statistical and performance information. A game summary may show trends over time and/or game sessions and convey information for selected sets of players, such as teams.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: James Lewis van Welzen, Glenn R.

Publication number: 20230071358Abstract: In various examples, natural language processing may be performed on text generated by a game to extract one or more in-game events from the game. The system (e.g., a client device and/or server) may receive the text in the form of one or more strings generated by a game application. The system may then extract one or more in-game events from the text using natural language processing. The game may include the text in a message it sends to the system (e.g., using an Application Programming Interface (API)) and/or in a game log entry or notification. The text may be generated based at least on the game determining one or more conditions are satisfied in the gameplay (e.g., victory, points scored, milestones, eliminations, item acquisition, etc.). The text may be mapped to event templates, which may then be used to extract parameters of events therefrom.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2021Publication date: March 9, 2023Inventors: James Lewis van Welzen, Prakash Yadav, Charu Kalani, Jonathan White, Shyam Raikar, Stephen Holmes, David Wilson

Patent number: 11565147Abstract: A dynamic belt-tensioning apparatus for a treadmill includes a base having a first end and a second end spaced from the first end. A foot-striking platform is movably supported by the base so as to allow for vertical movement of the platform during operation of the treadmill. A drive belt has a fixed circumference and is positioned above a top portion of the platform. A drive roller is pivotally mounted adjacent to the first end of the base and engages the drive belt. A bell crank is pivotally coupled to the platform such that pivoting of the bell crank translates into movement of a tensioning roller that is pivotally mounted to the base and that is capable of a range of movement to provide substantially constant tension to the drive belt in response to vertical movement of the platform.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey A. Beyer, Stacy E. Stamm, Jay T. Worobets, Brian R. Brothers, Andrew James Lewis, Edward F. Wettlaufer, Jr.

Patent number: 11565279Abstract: A sprinkler assembly guard includes a base, a plurality of protective members, and at least one clip member. The base has a plurality of base members centered about a central axis. Each of the protective members having a first portion radially spaced from the central axis and a second portion affixed to one of the base members and extending radially toward the central axis, the first portions of the plurality of protective members being angularly spaced about the central axis to define a cage volume for housing a sprinkler assembly. The at least one clip member is engaged with the protective members to draw the base members radially inward. The second portion of at least one of the protective members includes a securement member extending from the second portion and axially spaced from the base to define a space therebetween for securely housing a portion of a sprinkler frame.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2018Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: TYCO FIRE PRODUCTS LPInventor: Matthew James Lewis
