  • Publication number: 20260091318
    Abstract: Techniques for instantiating objects in a virtual space are described herein. For example, the techniques may include generating recommended furniture layouts in online games. The game (e.g., an online game) may receive a request to generate a furnished space. The game may identify the current configuration of the space to furnish (e.g., identify existing furniture, door(s), aperture(s), dimension(s) of the space and/or furniture, etc.). Further, the game may receive criteria that describe how to furnish the space (e.g., preferred furniture style, player budget(s), furniture priority, rule(s), etc.). The game may identify characteristics (e.g., furniture types, furniture style, etc.) of other spaces that are proximate to the space to furnish. The game may generate the recommended furnished space by inputting the current configuration of the space, the criteria, and/or the characteristics of the proximate space(s) into a machine learned model which may output a recommended furnished space.

  • Patent number: 9501626
    Abstract: Dispensing machine. The machine includes a number of silos for the storage of smaller objects and a mechanism for dispensing the stored objects into a central receptacle at a designated time or frequency in a combinatorial manner, regardless of the size, shape, or other physical characteristics of the pill to be dispensed. Major components of the device include a number of silos for storing objects of dispersal, a user input interface, a circuit board, an actuator, a central receptacle, a sensor, a storage receptacle, and an alarm. It is preferred that the designated time or frequency for dispersal from each silo is set by a user or a third-party. It is preferred that the machine further includes a capability for wireless connectivity to an intranet or an internet and a mechanism for monitoring access to the central receptacle and for outputting feedback to a user or a third-party.
