  • Patent number: 11644893
    Abstract: An application processing system provides an interaction with a virtual character to a user. The system outputs an image of a virtual space including the virtual character to a head mounted display. The system determines that a menu icon has been selected based on detection information obtained by the head mounted display. The system sets, based on the menu icon being selected, a first selection point and a second selection point on the virtual character, and determines, based on one or more items of detection information obtained by the head mounted display, that the first selection point or the second selection point has been selected. The system specifies, based on the first selection point being selected, a first user action as an action of the user, and specifies, based on the second selection point being selected, a second user action as an action of the user.

  • Patent number: 11550450
    Abstract: Card controls can be selectively applied by a user to a card using a graphical user interface (GUI). The card controls can dictate whether network requests associated with usage of the card are to be handled using an account subsystem or a service subsystem. For example, the user can input a first selection to the GUI for applying a first card control in relation to a first type of network request. Based on the first selection, the system can be configured to complete network requests of the first type using the service subsystem. The user can also input a second selection to the GUI for applying a second card control in relation to a second type of network request.

  • Patent number: 11531400
    Abstract: Method for generating haptic feedback responses starts with processor causing communication interface for communication session to be displayed on first user interface and on a second user interface. Processor detects first touch input on first user interface and second touch input on second user interface. Processor monitors location of the first touch input on the first user interface and location of the second touch input on the second user interface. Processor determines distance between location of first touch input on first user interface and location on first user interface corresponding to location of second touch input on second user interface. Processor causes the first user interface and the second user interface to generate a haptic feedback response based on the distance. The haptic feedback response increases in intensity or speed as the distance decreases and decreases in intensity or speed as the distance increases. Other embodiments are described herein.
