  • Patent number: 11928920
    Abstract: A server system for electronic games includes a memory and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory. When the instructions are executed, the instructions cause the processor to receive from a communication device, a plurality of first signals generated in response to the communication device entering one or more predefined zones associated with the electronic games, and generate, based on the plurality of first signals, a heat map that defines one or more cells based upon a magnitude of a data element of the first signals.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 13, 2023
    Date of Patent: March 12, 2024
    Assignee: VIDEO GAMING TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

  • Patent number: 10896570
    Abstract: A server system includes a processor configured to receive a first signal from a communication device in response to the communication device entering one of an immediate zone, a near zone, or a far zone. The immediate zone defined around a first beacon, the near zone defined around the immediate zone, and the far zone defined around the near zone. The processor may be configured to determine a first zone associated with the communication device, such as one of the immediate zone, the near zone, or the far zone. The processor may be configured to determine a first state of the communication device based on a movement of the communication device relative to the first beacon, such as one of an incoming state, an outgoing state, or an idle state. The processor may transmit a message to the communication device based on the first zone and the first state.

  • Publication number: 20190088081
    Abstract: A server system includes a processor configured to receive a first signal from a communication device in response to the communication device entering at least one of an immediate zone, a near zone, or a far zone. The immediate zone may be defined around a first beacon, the near zone may be defined around the immediate zone, and the far zone may be defined around the near zone. The processor may be configured to determine a first zone associated with the communication device, such as one of the immediate zone, the near zone, or the far zone. The processor may be configured to determine a first state of the communication device based on a movement of the communication device relative to the first beacon, such as one of an incoming state, an outgoing state, or an idle state. The processor may transmit a message to the communication device based on the first zone and the first state.

  • Patent number: 10157518
    Abstract: A communication device presents a targeted message to a user associated with a communication device. The communication device includes a sensor configured to receive a first signal from a first beacon, and a computing device programmed to determine a plurality of first parameters associated with the communication device based on the first signal, and determine a message for presentation on the communication device based on at least one of the plurality of first parameters. The plurality of first parameters include a first zone associated with the communication device and a first state associated with the communication device.
