Abstract: A method and encoder for encoding target images(s) into an image atlas file. Image elements present in the target images are identified. A set of unique image elements is created including each unique image element identified in the one or more target images and only one instance of each non-unique image element identified in the one or more target images as a corresponding unique image element. The unique image elements of the set are arranged into the image atlas file in a manner that empty spaces in the image atlas file are reduced. A metadata file is generated corresponding to the image atlas file, the metadata file comprising meta information of each target image, wherein meta information of a given target image is indicative of locations and dimensions of unique image elements in the image atlas file that are required to compose the given target image.

Abstract: A system for detecting and preventing fraudulent activities in digital advertising, system including server arrangement that is communicably coupled with a user device. The server arrangement is configured to send a data element of given digital advertisement to the user device; receive user-interaction data from the user device responsive to rendering of the data element at the user device; receive sensor data from the user device, the sensor data being collected by at least one sensor of the user device during generation of user-interaction data; analyse at least one of: a number of taps indicated in user-interaction data, touch pressures during taps, sizes of touch areas on touchscreen during taps, locations of touch areas on touchscreen during taps, time stamps of taps, to detect whether the user of the user device is bot; and perform at least one action when analysis indicates that the user of the user device is bot.

Abstract: A system for detecting and preventing fraudulent activities on a software application. The system includes a server arrangement that is communicably coupled with a user device. The server arrangement is configured to receive user-interaction data and sensor data from the user device on which the software application is being executed. The user-interaction data is indicative of an interaction of a user with the software application. The sensor data is collected by at least one sensor of the user device during execution of the software application. The server arrangement is further configured to analyse the user-interaction data and the sensor data to detect whether or not the user is a bot, and perform at least one action when the user is a bot.

Abstract: A system and method for playing an online game. The system includes player devices associated with the online game and a server arrangement communicably coupled with the player devices. The server arrangement is configured to receive a request from a player device to initiate the online game; determine at least one passive player device based on predefined condition; transmit an authorization request to the at least one passive player device to play the online game as virtual player; receive an authorization response from the at least one passive player device; create at least one virtual player for the at least one passive player device, based upon the received authorization response, and initiate the online game among the at least one virtual player and the at least one player device, wherein the at least one passive player device is different from the at least one player device.

Abstract: A system for managing user experience in an application portal. The system includes an application recorder and a processing unit including a first module and a second module. The application recorder configured to capture data corresponding to actions of a first user in the first application. The processing unit communicatively coupled to the application recorder. The first module is configured to acquire the captured data from the application recorder and train a first digital entity based on the captured data to simulate the actions of the first user. The second module is configured to implement the first digital entity in the second application to perform the actions therein.
