Multi-dimensional characteristic attributes of a plurality of players may be tracked and utilized to improve player experience, player retention, and detect abnormal behavior in game play. Player performance and interest may be assessed in real-time. Game independent characteristic attributes are defined for player profiles and are used to adjust a player's experience or preference level based on gaming results such as win-loss scores. Characteristic weights for a player's characteristic attributes are also defined. Methods and apparatus to select game sessions and players with similar interests or experiences are also disclosed. Methods for detecting abnormal patterns in game session behavior are also disclosed. Methods and apparatus for allowing users to opt out of the calibrations process are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and systems may be used automated profiling and context dependent cooperative Internet of Things (IoT) management operations. Sensor data may be received from a plurality of devices, arranged into states, and categorized to generate a plurality of behavior categories. State transitions of the sensor data may be detected to generate state transition events. Interdependencies between the states and the state transition events may be analyzed using sets of event pattern detection rules. Actionable event patterns (AEPs) may be created and run based at least on the states and the state transition events to detect combinations of behavior patterns. Control actions and/or alerts may be sent to devices/users based on the detected combinations of behavior pattern. An interdependency graph (IDG) may be generated and/or displayed to users to represent the interdependencies between the states and the state transition events.

Abstract: A method and system for facilitating the transfer of game or virtual reality (VR) state information is disclosed herein. An Event Pattern Detection engine may receive a periodic update of a game/VR state of a Source Game/VR Client and detect a trigger for transfer of the game/VR state based on the periodic update. The Event Pattern Detection engine may then send a message for transfer of the game/VR state to a Game/VR State Transfer Engine. The Game/VR State Transfer Engine may send a request for the game/VR state to a Game/VR Server and may receive the game/VR state from the Game/VR Server. The Game/VR State Transfer Engine may send the game/VR state to a Destination Game/VR Client and receive a confirmation of the receipt of the game/VR state by the Destination Game/VR Client. The Game/VR State Transfer Engine may send a Game/VR State Transfer Complete message to the Game/VR Server.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed herein to provide real-time shadowing service architectures and workflows to support dynamic event pattern parameter configuration, collection, filtering, learning, and profiling for users of one or more interactive platforms. The real-time shadowing service may receive a subset of application specific tags, generate tag values for the tags in the subset based on user behavior, and report the values for the tags in the subset. Further, the real-time shadowing service may collect data based on a list of tags for an engagement level related parameter vector (E.V.) and a competence level related parameter vector (C.V.). Further, the real-time shadowing service may map E.V. and C.V. for an event of interest (EoI) to an engagement level (E.L.) and competence level (C.L.) based on a model. The real-time shadowing service may also generate alerts based on detection rules, E.L. and C.L., and transmit the alerts.

Abstract: Reverse auction methods and systems are disclosed herein and include fast multi-round auction methods and services to pervasive mobile applications, supporting mobile users in a location sensitive environment. A buyer agent, on behalf of a buyer, may generate a reverse auction request and then monitor auction rounds of an auction initiated based on the request. The buyer agent may terminate the reverse auction upon the auction reaching a maximal round or terminal condition, or executing an optimization policy. The optimization policy may include local optimization. The local optimization may be based on the location of a buyer and seller in a small cell network (SCN). A seller agent may calculate a bidding price based on a seller's acceptable price range and an available time window. The seller agent may determine a time to stop bidding based on bidding price rules. An auction service may select N sellers for each buyer.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described herein to identify the anonymous events which may belong to the same customer by providing inter-event virtual linkage sequence to link anonymous behavior data from multiple independent sessions. The behavior data may be encrypted without tracking or storing all other types of data such as contact information. An anonymous user may be identified and categorized based on rhythms of predictive behavior pattern sequences by extracting signatures the rhythms to provide fast content based search to identify one or more similar behavior event patterns from a set of data. The signatures may include multiple time series vectors, which may be matched to unique patterns. Personalized services may be offered to anonymous offer pools and may be based on event patterns categories defined and detected by customized rules. The application or game may use the data collection inter-session virtual link to pull the service offer.
