Patent number: 11918906Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards providing video game gameplay incorporating falling puzzle mechanics influenced by character movements within a puzzle space. In a preferred embodiment, a computer implemented method renders a game world that includes a puzzle space wherein a sequence of falling items aggregate in a puzzle formation. Players move characters within the puzzle space to remove items by colliding with them in an attempt to resolve the puzzle by clearing all items from the puzzle space. In one possible arrangement, the sequence of falling items is released according to character movements within the puzzle space. The relationship between character movements and falling puzzle items makes the game play more engaging by providing additional strategic and competitive elements to traditional falling puzzle games.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: YACHT CLUB GAMES, LLCInventors: David D'angelo, Alec Faulkner, Nickolas Wozniak, Sean Velasco, Ian Flood, Morgan Guyer, Michael Herbster, Russell Rafferty

Publication number: 20230046289Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for automatically generating labels for sensor data. For instance, first sensor data, for a vehicle may be identified. This first sensor data may have been captured by a first sensor of the vehicle at a first location during a first point in time and may be associated with a first label for an object. Second sensor data for the vehicle may be identified. The second sensor data may have been captured by a second sensor of the vehicle at a second location at a second point in time outside of the first point in time. The second location is different from the first location. A determination may be made as to whether the object is a static object. Based on the determination that the object is a static object, the first label may be used to automatically generate a second label for the second sensor data.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Inventors: Justin Thorsen, Changchang Wu, Alper Ayvaci, Tiffany Chen, Lo Po Tsui, Zhinan Xu, Chen Wu, Sean Rafferty

Publication number: 20230019893Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for automatically generating labels for sensor data. For instance first sensor data for a first vehicle is identified. The first sensor data is defined in both a global coordinate system and a local coordinate system for the first vehicle. A second vehicle is identified based on a second location of the second vehicle within a threshold distance of the first vehicle within the first timeframe. The second vehicle is associated with second sensor data that is further associated with a label identifying a location of an object, and the location of the object is defined in a local coordinate system of the second vehicle. A conversion from the local coordinate system of the second vehicle to the local coordinate system of the first vehicle may be determined and used to transfer the label from the second sensor data to the first sensor data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventors: Brandyn White, Congyu Gao, Sean Rafferty, Nicholas Armstrong-Crews

Publication number: 20210150799Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generated simulated sensor data. One of the methods includes obtaining a surfel map generated from sensor observations of a real-world environment and generating, for each surfel in the surfel map, a respective grid having a plurality of grid cells, wherein each grid has an orientation matching an orientation of a corresponding surfel, and wherein each grid cell within each grid is assigned a respective color value. For a simulated location within a simulated representation of the real-world environment, a textured surfel rendering is generated, including combining color information from grid cells visible from the simulated location within the simulated representation of the real-world environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2020Publication date: May 20, 2021Inventors: Zhenpei Yang, Yuning Chai, Yin Zhou, Pei Sun, Henrik Kretzschmar, Sean Rafferty, Dumitru Erhan, Dragomir Anguelov
