  • Patent number: 10613707
    Abstract: Individualized icon elements are provided to a development team implementing a user interface or other image content for a new software application. A computer system receives an electronic document representing an image mockup from a designer, and scans the electronic document to identify mock icons. The mock icons are matched to corresponding icons in a digital icon repository. Each icon in the repository has associated metadata such as file name, description, file format, location, etc. Icons may be available with different file formats. The corresponding icons are provided with associated metadata in a form which is selectable by a developer. Corresponding icons may be provided by displaying icon images with respective confidence values representing an estimated likelihood of matching. A desired icon can be selected for inclusion in an icon package, and thereafter be removed from the list of available icons in the icon repository for the current project.

  • Patent number: 9987559
    Abstract: Control of artificial intelligence (AI) entities in a video game is enhanced using a meta-game template which reflects successful human player styles, strategies and tactics. Multiple game histories having game environment data and meta-game data relating to human behavior are analyzed, and specific meta-game data is statistically correlated with successful play. Meta-game data can include player chat, which is used to establish a context using natural language processing. Meta-game data can also include team associations, location information relating to a player, and item utilization by a player. Meta-game data can be associated with a particular time period of the game. A meta-game template is applied in a subsequent game by identifying a current context, matching the current context to the context associated with a template, and controlling an AI entity in accordance with the template. After conclusion of the game, the computer system presents meta-game statistics to a user.
