Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems, methods, and devices that enable interactions between a tag having conductive, coded ink and a gaming environment. As an example, a method is disclosed that includes receiving, at a touch-capable user interface, a user gesture provided in combination with a tag having data encoded thereon with an encoded physical medium that is readable by the touch-capable user interface. The method further includes extracting the data encoded on the tag, determining an output to provide based on the extracted data, and causing a user output device of a gaming device to provide the determined output.

Abstract: Embodiments of the systems and methods disclosed herein provide a request distribution system in which a request for resources may be executed by a plurality of workers. Upon receiving a request for resources from a user computing system, the request distribution system may select a subset of workers from the plurality of workers to execute the request within a time limit. Once the workers generate a plurality of outputs, each output associated with a quality level, the request distribution system may transmit the output associated with the highest quality level to the user computing system.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems, methods, and devices that enable interactions between a tag having conductive, coded ink and a gaming environment. As an example, a method is disclosed that includes providing a tag with an encoded physical medium that is readable by a touch-capable user interface, determining that the tag has been read by a touch-capable user interface of a gaming device in combination with detecting a gesture of the user at the touch-capable user interface of the gaming device, enabling the gaming device to provide a predetermined game feature in response to determining that the tag has been read by the touch-capable user interface of the gaming device in combination with detecting the gesture of the user at the touch-capable user interface of the gaming device, and updating an electronic record associated with the tag to indicate that the predetermined game feature has been enabled.

Abstract: The present specification describes a system and method for aggregating user results, rankings and statistical data associated with playing video games across two or more games, normalizing the aggregated data to unified values and presenting the aggregated and unified data via an interface, such that data from one game may be fairly combined and/or compared to data from another game. The present system enables users of one game to trade game-related virtual items with users of another game by providing a normalized score or value for virtual items, thereby permitting virtual items associated with one game to be fairly compared against virtual items of another game.

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: A system for suspending a micro-market through a visual indicator, such as the offense breaking the huddle or the referee removing his hand from the ball after the spot when the offensive line is at the line of scrimmage waiting to run the play.

Abstract: A method of AI adjusting odds based on the context of the lineup in baseball or cricket. Specific examples include a batter likely to be pitched around because of who is up next and when a reliever is approaching his third batter faced (the minimum before he can be replaced).

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores a control program for a game device connectable to an operation device that is held by a player or attached to a certain position on the body of the player. The control program causes the game device to execute the following: causing a first image to be displayed on a display device in order to cause the player to perform a movement such that a posture of the operation device becomes a specified posture; retrieving posture information relating to the posture of the operation device at a certain timing; determining a degree of matching between the posture of the operation device and the specified posture based on the retrieved posture information; and causing a second image in accordance with the determination result to be displayed on the display device.

Abstract: This application provides a method and an apparatus for locking on to a target object in a game scene, and an electronic device. The method may include determining at least one to-be-applied object corresponding to a skill currently triggered by the terminal. The method may further include generating, in an active joystick area, a sub-area corresponding to a quantity of the at least one to-be-applied object. The method may further include determining, in at least one sub-area, a target sub-area indicated by a joystick corresponding to the skill. The method may further include determining, as a target object, a to-be-applied object corresponding to the target sub-area.

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.
