Abstract: In various examples, when a user presses a button to interact with an object while playing a mobile video game, a prioritization zone around a targeting reticle can be defined. If the user positions the prioritization zone on a group of objects, a set of prioritization rules are applied to identify high importance objects (e.g., game Champions) in the prioritization zone. Based on the prioritization rules, the system can select the identified high importance object found inside the prioritization zone that is closest to the targeting reticle. In some embodiments, the prioritization zone is activated only for a defined period of time after the user presses the attack button. If the user releases the attack button during the defined period of time, the system can identify any of the objects in the prioritization zone and select a high importance object to interact with (e.g., launch an attack).

Abstract: Systems, methods, and media are provided for improved targeting of an individual object among a plurality of objects in a mutli-player online video game. The video game may include plurality of objects located at various places at a given frame. At each frame, a position of the objects is identified. If a player object is within a predetermined radius of another player object, a target position of the player object is modified relative to other player objects. Next, the target position of the player object is modified towards its original position within the frame. This process is repeated for each player object until the corresponding player object is no longer within the predetermined radius of another player object or a violation of a constraints prevents the modification from being performed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and media are provided for improved targeting of an individual object among a plurality of objects in a multi-player online video game. The video game may include plurality of objects located at various places at a given frame. At each frame, a position of the objects is identified. If a player object (except for the player object associated with the user) is within a predetermined radius of another player object, a target position of the player object is modified relative to other player objects. Next, the target position of the player object is modified towards its original position within the frame. This process is repeated for each player object until the corresponding player object is no longer within the predetermined radius of another player object or a violation of a constraints prevents the modification from being performed.

Abstract: A system and method for improved targeting of a long-range object in a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game is provided. Initially, a touch gesture is received at a tool selection area of a dynamic image provided by the MOBA game, enabling a user to select a tool (e.g., an ability, a virtual weapon, a spell, or the like) to target an object within the virtual world. Next, a second touch gesture is received at a mini-map of the virtual world causing the dynamic image to be automatically adjusted from a perspective corresponding to a character controlled by the user to a perspective representing the location selected within the mini-map. Finally, a third touch gesture is received at a targeting tool providing a target range of the selected tool within the adjusted dynamic image and the user can more precisely and accurately target the object.

Abstract: Systems and methods for precise position selection of an offset anchor from items within a map of a multiplayer game with touchscreen gestures. Specifically, the systems and methods utilize inputs from a touchscreen, to selectively define an offset targeting position in relation to a selected target, e.g., for the selective teleportation of a player's character. In essence, the methods and systems facilitate a user's or “player's” ability to precisely position an character, offset from a target object (generally referenced herein as a “target”), utilizing an intuitive offset-positioning focus point reticle. The offset-positioning focus point reticle, as described herein, allows the player to precisely and efficiently select a radial and offset position for a character to be teleported to relative to a selected target.

Abstract: The Wireless Internet Classroom Environment (WICE) is a system comprising a Personal Computer and a number of tablet computers, plus the software programs that form tools that allow schools to fully digitalize their classrooms. This system can create a completely electronic and paperless learning environment which still incorporates the experience of face to face learning and hands-on activities. There are two software functions to the WICE. The teacher would install the “server” software on the Teacher-PC which has internet access and WiFi tethering capabilities. The students would install the “client” software on their Personal Digital Assistant (Student-PDA) devices, or tablet computers which have WiFi terminal capabilities. The Teacher-PC and Student-PDAs together form a wireless classroom learning environment where the teacher can deliver the class materials electronically while maintaining control and engagement of all students.
