Patent number: 8998722Abstract: A gaming platform is presented where various types of non-game domains can be incorporated into a game as a game component. Two or more domains, possibly a website, can become a territory within an online game where players cooperate or compete to dominate the website. The domains can be bridged or otherwise linked to form a game map topology, and allow movement of a player's units from one domain to another. The game space can be presented to players as an overlay in a browser allowing players to engage the game and browse domain content without necessarily affecting the underlying website.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2012Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Nant Holdings IP, LLCInventors: Brian Elan Lee, Michael Sean Stewart, James Stewartson

Publication number: 20130346452Abstract: Inventory management systems and methods are described in which a user can manage inventory instances across multiple, independent stories. A transmedia inventory management system can include an inventory database to store inventory objects and a story database to store a plurality of independent story templates. A story engine can generate multiple, independent stories from the story templates. An inventory management engine can be used to manage instances of at least some of the inventory objects across the independent stories. A user can interact with at least some of the instances using first and second distinct user interfaces, respectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2012Publication date: December 26, 2013Applicant: FOURTH WALL STUDIOS, INC.Inventors: Brian Elan Lee, Michael Sean Stewart, James Stewartson

Publication number: 20120233347Abstract: Transmedia experience engines are described having a transmedia server capable of delivering synchronized content streams of a story to multiple devices of a single user, or even to multiple users. The transmedia server can be coupled to a story server that stores at least one story comprising the content streams. The transmedia server can configure the user's media devices to present the story according to the synchronized streams.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2012Publication date: September 13, 2012Applicant: FOURTH WALL STUDIOS, INC.Inventors: Brian Elan Lee, Michael Sean Stewart, James Stewartson
