  • Patent number: 8998722
    Abstract: A gaming platform is presented where various types of non-game domains can be incorporated into a game as a game component. Two or more domains, possibly a website, can become a territory within an online game where players cooperate or compete to dominate the website. The domains can be bridged or otherwise linked to form a game map topology, and allow movement of a player's units from one domain to another. The game space can be presented to players as an overlay in a browser allowing players to engage the game and browse domain content without necessarily affecting the underlying website.

  • Publication number: 20130346452
    Abstract: Inventory management systems and methods are described in which a user can manage inventory instances across multiple, independent stories. A transmedia inventory management system can include an inventory database to store inventory objects and a story database to store a plurality of independent story templates. A story engine can generate multiple, independent stories from the story templates. An inventory management engine can be used to manage instances of at least some of the inventory objects across the independent stories. A user can interact with at least some of the instances using first and second distinct user interfaces, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20120231887
    Abstract: Augmented reality (AR) mission generators are described that generate missions based on environmental data separate from a user's location. The environmental data can be obtained from a user's mobile device or using other sensors or third-party information. The missions can be generated from an AR mission template stored in a mission database, and presented to the user on the user's mobile device.
