  • Patent number: 11524242
    Abstract: A system and method for providing customized instances of a game within a virtual space. The system may be configured to obtain values associated with one or more users of the virtual space. The game, which is playable within the virtual space, may initially comprise predefined features and initially undefined features. The customizations may define the initially undefined features to provide custom-defined features. As such, when played, the game may include the predefined features and the custom-defined features. Customizations defining the initially undefined features to provide custom-defined features for a given instance of the game may be determined based on the values associated with a given user. The system may be configured to provide the given instance of the game to the given user.

  • Patent number: 10949484
    Abstract: Systems and methods for graphically representing a research relationship. A user operating a user device provides a search input for a target entity. An input detector receives the search input. A database searcher retrieves publications associated with the target entity from a plurality of databases, at least some of which being jointly contributed to by the target entity and associated entities. A publication compiler determines a number of publications for the target entity and a number of publications for the associated entities. A user interface generator generates a GUI representing a research relationship between the target entity and the associated entities. The target entity and the associated entities are represented as objects having a size corresponding to the number of publications, with the objects connected via connectors which represent joint contribution to one or more of the plurality of publications by the target entity and a respective associated entity.
