Abstract: Disclosed is an interactive electronic game machine configured to receive and interpret a continuous movement input from a user for a matrix-based game. In particular, an interactive electronic poker game employs a game controller configured to receive an input from a player corresponding to a continuous movement. The continuous movement corresponds to a path where two or more symbols that represent playing cards along the path are selected to form a winning poker hand. In examples, the symbols are arranged in a matrix, such that a player makes a poker hand by swiping, or tracing a path, across connected symbols within the matrix to group symbols together that form a winning hand.

Abstract: An invention is disclosed for improved computer system management by allowing complex computer-monitored events to be handled in different formats for correlation, analysis and action. Specifically, a method and system are disclosed for processing multiple heterogeneous event types in a complex event processing (CEP) engine.
