Patent number: 12280499Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for training a control input system involve taking an integral of an output value from a Motion Decision Neural Network for one or more movable joints to generate an integrated output value and comparing the integrated output value to a backlash threshold. A subsequent output value is generated using a machine learning algorithm that includes a sensor value and a previous joint position if the integrated output value does not at least meet the threshold. A position of the one or more movable joints is simulated based on an integral of the subsequent output value; and the Motion Decision Neural Network is trained with the machine learning algorithm based upon at least a result of the simulation of the position of the one or more movable joints.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2020Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Sergey Bashkirov, Michael Taylor

Publication number: 20250111741Abstract: Systems receive a request from a player device for a random numeric output associated with an outcome that indicates whether resource(s) are to be distributed to a player account of a player of a computer game. The request is authenticated, which includes determining a geographic location of the player from an identifier of the player device, and a current amount of player points already attributed to the player account are determined from player data associated with the player account. An API request associated with the random numeric output to be generated by the outside server is generated and transmitted to an outside server that includes the current amount of player points. A randomly generated numeric input is received from the outside server and based on the current amount of player points, and the outcome is determined based on the randomly generated numeric input and the resource(s) are distributed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2023Publication date: April 3, 2025Applicant: Truist BankInventors: Michael Taylor John, Daniel M.

Patent number: 12265587Abstract: Connections among two different entities are identified by processing a collection of documents to identify one or more documents that contain co-occurring mentions of each of the two different entities. This relationship may be graphically displayed in a user interface with an icon or the like for each of the two entities, along with a graphical link interconnecting the entities. The graphical link can be an active element of the user interface that responds to user interactions by providing access to evidence within the collection of documents that substantiates the connection between the two entities. In one aspect, a search input form field in a user interface may be used to explicitly request documents that substantiate a relationship between two entities. In another aspect, a user may ground entity mentions by explicitly selecting documents that mention an entity of interest.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2020Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Emily Brooks Pavlini, Jason Rastrick Briggs, Max Kleiman-Weiner, John Randolph Frank, Tyler Balensiefer, Cogan Dwayne Culver, Kevin John Doyle, Thomas Michael DuBois, Keith Michael Gabryelski, Andrew Richard Gallant, Andrew Wilson Haskell, Abdi-Hakin Dirie, David Johnson, Geoffrey Ira Milstein, Daniel Adam Roberts, Aaron Michael Taylor, Henry Forrest Leanna Wallace, Logan Eli Zoellner

Publication number: 20250104518Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing and achieving objectives determine that a user has accessed, via a user device, a gaming profile associated with an entity. The system transmits to the user device a digital communication, wherein the digital communication includes queries for determining a preferred objective of the user. After receiving one or more user inputs from the user device in response to the queries, the system derives the user's preferred objective, which is stored in an entity data source. Through the user device, the system determines that the user has accessed the gaming profile of the gaming software application associated with the entity. The system monitors the gaming profile of the user for completion of the one or more gaming actions and allocates to the gaming profile remuneration in an amount correlated to the user's preferred objective.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2023Publication date: March 27, 2025Applicant: Truist BankInventors: Michael Taylor John, Noah Jeffrey Joyce

Publication number: 20250104517Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing and achieving objectives that benefit a user and an entity include at least one processor that determines that a user has created, via a user device, a gaming profile associated with an entity. The processor displays one or more user objectives via the user device and receives a user selection of at least one user objective from the one or more user objectives. A gaming action is created that is capable of being performed via the user device that would permit a user to achieve the at least one user device. After receiving an indication from the user device that the user has achieved the at least one user device, a digital remuneration is transmitted to the user's gaming profile in an amount correlated to the at least one user objective achieved by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2023Publication date: March 27, 2025Applicant: Truist BankInventors: Michael Taylor John, Noah Jeffrey Joyce

Publication number: 20250099857Abstract: Systems and methods for achieving objectives include receiving, via a user device, user input requesting access to a gaming profile, receiving entity data from the user's gaming profile, collecting entity data from a plurality of user profiles associated with an entity, and extracting resource data from the entity data for the user and the plurality of users. In response to extracting the resource data, the system uses a machine learning dataset to predict an objective for the user. Based on the predicted objective, the system determines gaming actions capable of being performed via the user device and associated with the gaming profile that would further the objective. The system assigns a remuneration amount to each gaming action, monitors the gaming profile for completion of the gaming actions, and allocates to the gaming profile remuneration in the amount assigned to the gaming actions completed by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2023Publication date: March 27, 2025Applicant: Truist BankInventors: Michael Taylor John, Noah Jeffrey Joyce
