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.

The method includes: obtaining a motion status of a target object at a current moment in a virtual scene and a first operation for controlling the target object to move in the virtual scene; predicting a first moving track along which the target object is to move within a period of time after the current moment based on the motion status of the target object at the current moment and the first operation; and displaying the first moving track and a second moving track, the second moving track being a moving track along which the target object has moved before the current moment.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus which accepts a bet for a competition in which a bet can be placed on a betting target includes a processor configured to execute a process including: accepting a designation of a betting target for the competition from a first player, selecting a second player who places a bet on the same betting target as the betting target designated by the first player from among a plurality of second players who predict outcomes of the competition, and displaying information indicating the second player selected in the selecting on a terminal of the first player.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for associating a player identifier with a financial account. The financial account can holds funds that are accessible through the player's use of a payment vehicle. The payment vehicle can be, for example, a credit payment vehicle or a debit payment vehicle. The player can load funds from the financial account to a wagering account.

Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods provide for generating real-time egress plans for users in a building, based on the users' current locations. As the users' current locations change, egress plans associated with the users can be dynamically modified in real-time. The egress plans can also be generated, modified, and/or trained based on inputted information about the user. The disclosed technology can include a mobile application for presenting, in a centralized interface, information about user-specific egress plans, training the user for different emergency scenarios, improving or changing features in the building to improve safety, and user profiles. The mobile application can include training simulation games to help prepare the users to safely egress during an emergency. The disclosed technology can also predict building component and structure emergency risk levels. The disclosed technology can also designate zones in the building based on possible egress routes.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing a wagering system. In one exemplary embodiment, state information of a live event such as a sports game may be received in real time.
