  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING PLAYER'S BEHAVIOR PATTERN
    Publication number: 20120149449
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for analyzing player's behavior pattern between a game client which is accessed by a player and via which the player plays a game and a game server which provides the player with a game service. The apparatus includes a capture unit, a data extraction unit, a cluster extraction unit, a matching unit, and a generalization unit. The capture unit captures packets transmitted and received between the game client and the game server. The data extraction unit extracts data corresponding to the player's behavior pattern from the packets. The cluster extraction unit extracts the player cluster, having similar behavioral characteristics, using the extracted data. The matching unit matches the player cluster with similar characteristics of an actual player set. The generalization unit generalizes the results of the matching.

  • Method for determining player behavior
    Patent number: 11090566
    Abstract: Methods and systems for determining behavior of a player playing a video game includes assigning a behavioral value point for the player and for each game item in a gaming scenario of the video game. An action performed by the player and directed toward a specific game item is detected in the gaming scenario. Adjustment value points defined for the action and for the effect of the action on the different game items are identified. A change in the behavioral value points for the player and for each game item affected by the action of the player is dynamically computed by applying adjustment value points defined for the action and for the effect of the action to the corresponding behavioral value points assigned to the player and for each game item affected by the action. The change in the behavioral value points of the player and of each game item affected by the action are examined to establish if the player is exhibiting good behavior or bad behavior.

  • METHOD TO CONFIGURE OFFLINE PLAYER BEHAVIOR WITHIN A PERSISTENT WORLD GAME
    Publication number: 20070298886
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for configuring offline player behavior within a persistent world game. A player agent for an offline player includes an event monitor that monitors for events that occur in a persistent virtual world maintained by a game server. When a game event occurs that triggers an offline player rule, the player agent may generate game events on behalf of the offline player. The player agent may also receive messages from an offline player. The messages may include commands for adding, removing, or editing offline player rules. A message may also include a command to view a list of rules or fire a one-time execution of a rule upon receipt. Therefore, a player may contribute to the persistent virtual world even when offline by sending commands using a messaging client or Web browser.

  • Methods and Systems for Processing Disruptive Behavior within Multi-Player Video Game
    Publication number: 20210370183
    Abstract: Disruptive behavior events are identified within an online gaming system. Players responsible for the identified disruptive behavior events are verified. A behavioral designation is applied to players in the online gaming system. The behavioral designation indicates whether or not a player is verified as responsible for one or more of the identified disruptive behavior events. Current real-time player behavior demographic data is generated for a specified game space using the behavioral designations applied to players associated with the specified game space. The generated current real-time player behavior demographic data for the specified game space is displayed to players associated with the specified game space. Using current real-time player behavior demographic data generated and displayed for different game spaces, a player is enabled to make a behavior-informed selection of a game space in which to enter for game play.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASURING GAMING PLAYER BEHAVIOR
    Publication number: 20170228977
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to analyzing recorded game information to determine information about a player's behavior. This is accomplished by analyzing the player's actions following a positive increase in credits within credit meter data. This analysis can be utilized in automatically altering a game parameter of the gaming device being played by the player or in providing operators trend information that can be used in modifying the game device or designing future gaming devices. An analysis station may be included in a gaming system using this analysis process to allow an operator to view and manipulate a graphical representation of the credit meter data.

  • Behavior-aware player selection for multiplayer electronic games
    Patent number: 10807006
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating a multi-player game session including a set of players with compatible preferences and behaviors. Each player can be associated with a set of behaviors exhibited by that player, as well as a set of preferences for those behaviors. On a request to initiate a game session, a first player can be paired with a set of other players whose behaviors are compatible with the preferences of the first player. Graph analysis may be used to facilitate selection of players. For example, each player may be represented as a node within a graph, and be connected to other nodes via an edge weighted according to a compatibility of preferences of the two players with their respective behaviors. In some instances, behaviors or preferences of players are determined based on analysis of in-game actions.
