Abstract: Data processing/GUIs for NFT block chain data to “tell the story” of ownership or highlight “cool” aspects of a computer game-related NFT in simplified way. Machine learning (ML) may be used to boil down the complexity of data to what people need or want to understand. The displayed timeline of ownership as presented in a GUI can be interactive. Types of metadata to encapsulate in the NFT are discussed.

Abstract: A real-time event transcription system and related methods provides for determining the existence, sequencing and timing of an event and/or event elements, for detecting and compensating for latency issues and cheating while providing synchronized user engagement, wherein users who are observing an event interact with a stream of stimuli generated over the course of the event, each user's interactions precisely recorded and accurately timestamped, accounting and/or compensating for various delays that may cause different users to encounter the stimuli at different times. Embodiments further provide for methods to determine and synchronize stimuli and reaction timing across a plurality of geographical locations, transmission methods and media.

Abstract: A gaming system comprises a presentation assembly presenting a plurality of symbol positions and game-logic circuitry configured to cause the presentation assembly to associate, in response to an activation event, a first symbol position with an award region and present a subsequent game outcome by populating the symbol positions with randomly selected symbols. The game-logic circuitry detects whether or not a symbol of a linked symbol group including value-bearing symbols with respective positions within the linked symbol group and award indicia visibly indicating corresponding award values occupies the award region in the subsequent game outcome. The game-logic circuitry causes, in response to detecting a first value-bearing symbol occupying the award region, the presentation assembly to provide an award for the award values of at least one value-bearing symbol within the linked symbol group based on the position of the first value-bearing symbol relative to the positions of other value-bearing symbols.

Abstract: A chair sled attachment assembly includes a base structure, a support bracket, and a base access panel. The base structure is connected to a gaming machine cabinet in a base position projecting in a front direction from a front side of the cabinet and defines a base volume separate from a secure volume of the cabinet. The base structure also defines a base access opening to provide access to the base volume. The support bracket is located within the base volume adjacent to the base access opening and includes a support bracket connecting arrangement to which a chair sled receiver is connectable in a chair sled receiver operating position. The base access panel is removably secured to the base structure in a cover position substantially covering the base access opening.

Abstract: A method for monitoring the motion of a sport ball that has been impacted by an individual during the course of an athletic activity includes the steps of the sport ball sampling motion data from one or more of its motion sensors at a sampling rate, the sport ball saving the sampled motion data in a buffer at a first saving rate, the sport ball saving at least a portion of the sampled motion data in a file separate from the buffer at a second saving rate, wherein the second saving rate is adjustable separate from the sampling rate and varies during the course of the athletic activity based on impacts to the sport ball, and the sport ball wirelessly transmitting the sampled motion data in the file to a portable electronic device.

Abstract: A golf aid system for assisting a user with a golf shot on a golf course includes a user tracking system configured to determine the location of the user on the golf course, a portable electronic device with a display screen, and a processor. The processor, which is operable to communicate with the user tracking system and the portable electronic device, is configured to determine one or more target locations on the golf course, with each of the target locations representing a recommended target for a respective one of the golf clubs. The processor directs the portable electronic device to display an indicator of the respective golf club proximate the corresponding target location via the display screen, such that the user perceives at least a portion of the indicator to be coincident with the corresponding one of the target locations.

Abstract: An Augmented Reality (AR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) based interactive virtual try-on solution that facilitates trying on, fitting, and modularizing a virtual apparel in real-time—as if a consumer were wearing the apparel. A user with a mobile device defines retail adjustment operations on the virtual apparel using an AR-based visual interface. The user can interact with the virtual apparel for identifying, defining, and changing the look, fit, and design of the apparel on the user's body. The real-time interaction is with the same virtual apparel. The system defines operations based on user's features, sartorial measurements, intent, gestures, position, pressure values received from a controller operated by the user, and the sensed motion of the user to translate into a set of machine learning inference models that predict a series of states that visually generate the outcome the user anticipates based on the user's interaction with the virtual clothing.

Abstract: A system for modifying video of a live sporting event to include details of a micro market wager. A wagering platform that offers wagers on micro markets inside of a sporting event can produce personalized content for each user around highlights of their wagering experience.

Abstract: In various embodiments a player of a gaming device or mobile gaming device is presented with an indication of a payout amount less any taxes that would be owed for the payout.

Abstract: An upscaling unit generates a first to-be-displayed image on the basis of first image data. An alternative image generation unit generates an alternative image by estimating, on the basis of the first image data, a second to-be-displayed image to be generated on the basis of second image data. A display control unit displays, after displaying the image generated on the basis of the first image data, any one of the image generated on the basis of the second image data and the alternative image, depending on whether or not reception of the second image data has succeeded. A transmission control unit controls whether or not to transmit, to a terminal, the second image data on the basis of a possibility of successful estimation of the second to-be-displayed image on the basis of the first image data by the alternative image generation unit.

Abstract: Various embodiments are directed towards employing one or more physical sensors arranged on or in proximity to a video game player to obtain biofeedback measures that are then useable to dynamically modify a state of play of a video game. The sensors may be connected or even unconnected to the game player, replace, or otherwise augment traditional physical game controllers. The sensors gather various biofeedback measures and provide such measures to a biofeedback application programming interface (API). Before and/or during video game play, the video game queries the biofeedback API to request inferences about the game player's state of arousal. The response to the query is then used to modify the state of the video game play. Where the video game is a multi-player video game, biofeedback measures from other game players may also be obtained and used to further modify the state of the video game play.

Abstract: A system which causes an automatic publication of one or more sporting event wagers associated with one user to one or more other users.

Abstract: Techniques for improving a graphical user interface are described. In an example, a computer system receives an activity identifier of an activity in a video game and correlated locations. It builds a map of the locations from completion data indicating completion of the activity, and location data indicating where the activity was completed in the video game by other players. The identifier can be predefined in program code of the video game. Data is processed to determine where the likely location is for completing the activity in the video game. This likely location is shown as a graphical user interface element in a map.
