Publication number: 20260024335Abstract: In various examples, natural language processing may be performed on text generated by a game to extract one or more in-game events from the game. The system (e.g., a client device and/or server) may receive the text in the form of one or more strings generated by a game application. The system may then extract one or more in-game events from the text using natural language processing. The game may include the text in a message it sends to the system (e.g., using an Application Programming Interface (API)) and/or in a game log entry or notification. The text may be generated based at least on the game determining one or more conditions are satisfied in the gameplay (e.g., victory, points scored, milestones, eliminations, item acquisition, etc.). The text may be mapped to event templates, which may then be used to extract parameters of events therefrom.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2025Publication date: January 22, 2026Inventors: James Lewis van Welzen, Prakash Yadav, Charu Kalani, Jonathan White, Shyam Raikar, Stephen Holmes, David Wilson

Publication number: 20250378699Abstract: A game-agnostic event detector can be used to automatically identify game events. Game-specific configuration data can be used to specify types of pre-processing to be performed on media for a game session, as well as types of detectors to be used to detect events for the game. Event data for detected events can be written to an event log in a form that is both human- and process-readable. The event data can be used for various purposes, such as to generate highlight videos or provide player performance feedback. The event data may be determined based upon output from detectors such as optical character recognition (OCR) engines, and the regions may be upscaled and binarized before OCR processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2025Publication date: December 11, 2025Inventors: Nathan Otterness, Jonathan White, Dave Clark, Jim van Welzen

Publication number: 20250308234Abstract: Examples provide a system for performing video redaction. The system includes an electronic processor configured to obtain video data, identify an object in a respective frame of video data using an artificial intelligence (AI) model trained on object detection, and flag the object for redaction from the video data. The electronic processor is also configured to identify a moving portion in the respective frame of the video data. The moving portion including at least one pixel having motion in a plurality of frames of the video data. The moving portion is included in a portion of the video data not having the object flagged for redaction. The electronic processor performs a motion analysis of the moving portion of the video data, and, based on a result of the motion analysis, flags the moving portion for redaction from the video data.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2024Publication date: October 2, 2025Inventors: William W.

Publication number: 20250232794Abstract: In various examples, users may access a tool that automatically generates video montages from video clips of the user's gameplay according to parameterized recipes. As a result, a user may select—or allow the system to select—clips corresponding to gameplay of the user and customize one or more parameters (e.g., transitions, music, audio, graphics, etc.) of a recipe, and a video montage may be generated automatically according to a montage script output using the recipe. As such, a user may have a video montage generated with little user involvement, and without requiring any skill or expertise in video editing software. In addition, even for experienced video editors, automatic video montage generation may be a useful alternative to save the time and effort of manually curating video montages.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2025Publication date: July 17, 2025Inventors: James van Welzen, Jonathan White, David Clark, Glenn Cochran, Amit Parikh

Patent number: 12079423Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for rapidly capturing user input. Some embodiments of the present disclosure may rapidly capture user input for psychometric analysis applications. For example, a Likert scale may be used to capture the intensity of feelings of a respondent for a given item or question, and therefore can be applied to multiple domains including psychology and social sciences, business and marketing, etc. According to techniques described herein, a visual display screen may prompt respondent input (e.g., via an input prompt, question, statement, etc.). A touch-sensitive input area of the visual display screen may capture respondent input. The touch-sensitive input area may include an input bar and an input position (e.g., a slider). A respondent may control the input position along the input bar (e.g., using a finger), such that the input capture system may efficiently capture, determine, and record the input.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2022Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Inventor: Jonathan White

Patent number: 12005363Abstract: In various examples, applications may be executed on remote computing devices to composite and broadcast gameplay with video and audio data. Systems and methods are disclosed that distribute, between and among various computing devices, processing of tasks including rendering of gameplay, composition of various types of data, and broadcasting of composited data. The tasks may be executed on computing devices that are remote to a client device, such as a virtual machine, GPU, server, and/or other computing device in the cloud, all of which are connected through a network. Customized composited content may be generated within the system, without latency and dropped frames, by distributing tasks such as compositing and rendering of gameplay to computing devices that have high performance capability and are specialized for handling memory- and time-intensive tasks.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2021Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: James van Welzen, Amit Parikh, Jonathan White, Travis Muhlestein
