  • Patent number: 11547944
    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.

  • Patent number: 11487792
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for modifying and controlling access to private data objects. A system can maintain a node graph comprising nodes that each maintains an association with one or more neighbor nodes. The system can maintain private data objects that are generated based on a request from an organizer node, and include a list of authorized nodes and a setting to enable neighbors of authorized nodes to request inclusion in the list of authorized nodes. The system can receive a request for private data objects from a first node, and identify private data objects that include one or more neighbor nodes of the first node. The system can present a list of private data objects to the first node, and add the first node to the list of authorized nodes of the private data object subsequent to receiving a request from the first node.

  • Patent number: 11457285
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides live event systems having one or more processors coupled to memory. The live event system can access a plurality of messages associated with a live event broadcasted to a plurality of broadcast receiver devices via a broadcast provider system. The live event system can determine that at least one message of the messages satisfies a condition of a notification generation policy relating to the live event. The live event system can identify, from the broadcast receiver devices, a subset of broadcast receiver devices that satisfy a notification transmission policy relating to the live event. The live event system can transmit instructions to the broadcast provider system, instructions causing the broadcast provider system to communicate with each broadcast receiver device of the subset of broadcast receiver devices and cause each broadcast receiver device of the subset to display a notification identifying the live event.

  • Patent number: 11451878
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating notification interfaces based on interactions with broadcast events are provided. The system can maintain content items corresponding to a live event, and identify interactions provided via a broadcast receiver device while the broadcast receiver device presented corresponding historic live event broadcasts. The system can determine an arrangement of the content items corresponding to the live event based on attributes of the historic live event broadcasts. The system can generate display instructions for the broadcast receiver device that cause the broadcast receiver device to display the content items with a broadcast of the live event according to the arrangement, and transmit the display instructions to the broadcast receiver device to cause the broadcast receiver device to display the content items with the broadcast of the live event.

  • Patent number: 11445264
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating notification interfaces synchronized with broadcast events and local interactions are disclosed. The system can receive a plurality of interactions corresponding to a conditional event opportunity of a live event from a respective plurality of client devices, and identify a broadcast receiver device that is presenting a broadcast of the live event. The system can generate instructions for a broadcast receiver device that causes an application executing on the broadcast receiver device to display one or more content items corresponding to the conditional event opportunity. The system can transmit the instructions to the broadcast receiver device to cause the application to display the one or more content items with the broadcast of the live event.

  • Publication number: 20220270431
    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: 20220215718
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a multidimensional data structure based on fantasy sports account activity are described herein. Processors can maintain user profiles, each user profile having player lineups associated with fantasy sports contests. The processors can identify, for a first user profile, player lineups of the first user profile and respective contests for which the player lineups were entered. Each player lineup including players having players attributes. Each contest having contest attributes. The processors can generate, for the first user profile, a multidimensional data structure including a plurality of features. Each feature can have a respective value that is based on the player attributes corresponding to the players included in the player lineups and the contest attributes corresponding to the contests for which the player lineups were entered.
