Patent number: 11707684Abstract: Computer implemented systems and methods for cross-platform consumption of in-game objects are provided herein. An exemplary method includes receiving by a data platform from at least one first device game object data discovered by a user while playing a video game associated with the data platform; attributing by the data platform a cross-platform identifier to the game object data; storing by the data platform metadata associated with the game object data to a database associated with the data platform, and receiving by the data platform from a second device associated with the data platform a request for access to the game object data and the metadata. The request may include the cross-platform identifier. The exemplary method further includes authenticating by the data platform the request based on the cross-platform identifier; and based on the authentication selectively providing by the data platform access to game object data and the metadata.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2019Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment LLCInventors: Adil Sherwani, Charles Wayne Denison, II, Matthew Stewart Bloom-Carlin, Derek Andrew Parker

Patent number: 11457277Abstract: A system and method for making context-based action suggestions is provided. Data regarding one or more activities may be stored in memory. Such activities may be associated with an interactive content title and one or more actions. Information regarding a current user status for each activity may be received by a server. A set of one or more activities available to a user based on the current user status may be identified. One or more actions may be filtered based on availability to the user and the current user status for each identified activity. A subset of the filtered actions may be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2019Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Mischa Stephens, Steven Trombetta, Daniel Hiatt, Benedikt Neuenfeldt, Junya Noda, Atsushi Fuse, Nobukazu Koyama, Adil Sherwani, Derek Parker, Parsa Shirazi, Charles Wayne Denison, II

Patent number: 11249623Abstract: A system and method for generating an integrated interface is provided. A user dataset of a user, a peer dataset of a peer user, and interactive titles available to the user are stored in memory. A network interface establishes a session with a user device associated with the first user. A processor executes instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor constructs a group of interactive activities based on the sets of one or more activities of each interactive title, a user presence based on the first user dataset, and a peer presence based on the peer dataset and displays the set of interactive activities, the user presence, and the peer presence on an integrated interface displayed on the first user device.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2018Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignees: SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT LLC, SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT INC.Inventors: Steven Trombetta, Charles Wayne Denison, II, Benedikt Neuenfeldt, Akihiko Kusumoto, Nobukazu Koyama, Atsushi Fuse
