  • Publication number: 20230282063
    Abstract: Systems and methods for synchronizing client data structures with session events are disclosed. The system can establish a session responsive to a request from a host client device associated with a host player profile. The system can configure the host player profile to share records of events performed via the host player profile during the session, and can receive requests to join the session, each request associated with a respective viewer player profile. The system can receive a request from a viewer to permit automatic population of records corresponding to events performed via the host player profile during the session. The system can detect an event performed via the host player profile during the session, and generate a record corresponding to the event in the viewer player profile, which is used to enable performance of a corresponding event having the same event parameters via the viewer player profile.

  • Patent number: 11715345
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using a non-regulated device to generate data objects via a regulated device. A first device can provide interface content items corresponding to one or more events for which to generate a data object, and receive, via a user selection, object information identifying an event of the one or more events, one or more object parameters, and a second device identifier identifying a second device of the user. The first device can generate a request to provide the object information to one or more servers, and transmit the request to provide the object information to one or more servers. The request causes the one or more servers to store an entry including the object information, generate a link to the object information, and transmit a message including the link to the second device of the user using the second device identifier.

  • Publication number: 20230209127
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically adjusting display content and parameters on a display region are provided. A display manager can control a display environment including a plurality of display regions and can display content items in the display regions. The display manager can identify an event record placed via a client device located in a display zone corresponding to a display region of the display environment. The event record can correspond to an event associated with at least one of the respective content items. The display manager can determine to change a first content item displayed within the display region or a value of a parameter of the display region. The display manager can modify the display region by replacing the first content item with a second content item corresponding to the event associated with the event record or by adjusting the parameter of the display region.

  • Publication number: 20230158410
    Abstract: Systems and methods for algorithmically arranging contests in a lobby interface are provided. A contest management system can generate, execute and maintain a plurality of contests, such as but not limited to, fantasy sports contests. Rank values can be assigned to the contests using pacing parameters of the contests and profile attributes of users who participate in the contests. The pacing parameters, such as registration ratios and registration deadlines, can indicate if a particular contest is on pace to meet a registration threshold prior to their respective registration deadline. The contest management system can dynamically update, responsive to receiving a plurality of registrations from a plurality of users, the rank value of one or more contests responsive to a change in a registration ratio of at least one contest and arrange the plurality of contests in a lobby interface based on the updated rank values.

  • Publication number: 20230136292
    Abstract: Systems and methods for validating live programming content based on data are provided. A system can access an initial schedule for a live broadcast event provided by a broadcast provider computing system, and identify an initial start time for the live broadcast event and a duration for the live broadcast event. The system can receive an update relating to the live broadcast event from a data source. The system can determine that the initial schedule is invalid based on the update, and set a flag for the live broadcast event indicating that the initial schedule has changed. The system can then modify a selection policy for content to display with the live broadcast event responsive to the flag.
