  • Patent number: 10512845
    Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture for manipulating an interactive gameplay of a mobile device in real-time based on a state of a physical environment in which the mobile device is located. Embodiments include receiving, from one or more sensor devices of the mobile device during an interactive gameplay of an application on the mobile device, data characteristic of operating conditions of the environment in which the mobile device is located. Once the application determines that data received from the sensors satisfies conditions configured on the application for each type of sensor device, embodiments determine whether to manipulate the interactive gameplay by querying a remote database for one or more gameplay effects corresponding to the data. Once a response identifying at least one gameplay effect associated with the data is received, embodiments manipulate the interactive gameplay based on the identified gameplay effect.
