Abstract: A method and apparatus may be used to support coordinated and cooperative sectorized transmissions. Power control and clear channel assessment for sectorized transmissions may be used, along with sectorized beacon and associated procedures. Transmissions in a network may be protected by a first access point (AP) sending an omni-directional transmission and a beamformed or sectorized transmission to a station (STA), an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) confirming a spatially orthogonal (SO) condition based on the omni-directional transmission, and a second AP monitoring the omni-directional transmission and confirming the SO condition. The STA may be configured to receive a request-to-send (RTS) frame indicating data is available for transmission, and transmit a cooperative sectorized (CS) clear-to-send (CTS) frame indicating an ability for multiple AP reception.

Abstract: A computing system receives a request to create a digital data object from a user device of a user for use in a game. The computing system generates the digital data object based on the request. The computing system causes a physical data object corresponding to the digital data object to be activated. The computing system receives a plurality of scanned images of the physical data object. The computing system receives an indication of an outcome of the game based on the physical data object. Based on the indication and the plurality of scanned images, the computing system generates a set of graphical objects to be displayed to the user via the user device of the user. The computing system causes the user to participate in the game using the set of graphical objects.

Abstract: Some existing health and fitness apps map athletic activity and track that activity over time and present to the athlete various aggregations of their activity. Other existing health and fitness apps create training schedules for the athlete to achieve a fitness goal. However, the training schedules provided by these apps are static in nature and provide a fixed quantity and type of exercise within a fixed schedule for the athlete to accomplish. The presently disclosed virtual athletic coach offers dynamic training schedules that can make incremental adjustments based on an athlete's performance to the training schedule over time.

Abstract: The innovations herein concern a frontend game development platform, wherein games developed by the platform comprise: a composable state machine having a plurality of states, wherein each of the plurality of states supports customizable game logic and a plurality of triggers. In prior art GDK slot game engines, most games had a fairly rigid structure that did not easily accommodate custom game developer functionality. The innovations presented herein thus provide a more flexible frontend game (e.g., slot game) development platform and a game engine that provides developers with the ability to easily insert their own custom logic steps or stages into outcome calculation and game flow/presentation. In addition, the improved game engine will provide developers the ability to have game execution flow defined externally—and in a way that it may be modified without the need for a recompilation of the configuration files and/or state machines with each code modification.
