  • Patent number: 11583772
    Abstract: Systems and methods to facilitate staking of digital articles on a permanent registry to upgrade player type within an online gaming platform supporting different player types are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may execute instances of a game; control player accounts associated with the players; facilitate usage of a particular digital article that is usable to upgrade players from the first player type to a second player type, wherein upgrading unlocks additional utilities; receive an upgrade instruction from the first player; perform an in-game action falling within the additional utilities on behalf of the first player, wherein the in-game action is performed by virtue of the first player having been upgraded to the second player type; and/or other steps.

  • Publication number: 20230048958
    Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a bridge server to support multiple shards of blockchains are disclosed. The multiple shards may be used to record ownership rights of in-game digital assets. The in-game digital assets may be usable in an online gaming platform. Exemplary implementations may: execute an instance of a game; maintain user accounts for the users of a blockchain on a first and a second decentralized ledger server; record sets of rights pertaining to sets of digital assets; receive an exchange request for a first digital asset; receive transferal information for the first digital asset; transfer sets of instructions to the first and second decentralized ledger servers such that the first decentralized ledger server removes the first digital asset from the first set of digital assets and the second decentralized ledger server adds the first digital asset to the second set of digital assets.

  • Patent number: 11568600
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using natural language processing (NLP) to automatically generate three-dimensional objects in a virtual space are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: obtain three-dimensional objects using a three-dimensional voxelized format; encode those objects, using a variational autoencoder, into pairs of vectors that are subsequently sampled; decode the sampled vectors; determine loss information for the decoded voxelized three-dimensional objects; use the loss information to train the variational autoencoder; fine-tune a pretrained text-based system; receive user input describing a three-dimensional object; generate a vector from the user input; decode the vector into a voxelized three-dimensional object; present the voxelized three-dimensional object to the user.

  • Patent number: 11511198
    Abstract: Systems and methods to control benefit-producing virtual territories in an online gaming platform are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may execute instances of a game; manage player accounts associated with the players; receive instructions from sets of players to obtain access to distributions associated with particular virtual territories in the game, wherein access is obtained in exchange for particular amounts of fungible digital articles; determine whether to provide a particular distribution of in-game benefits, produced in and/or by a particular virtual territory, to a particular set of players, based at least in part on whether the particular set of players continues to control the particular virtual territory; and responsive to the determination, provide the particular distribution to the particular set of players.
