Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems directed towards providing scaled engagement and views of an e-sports event. Instead of providing the same distribution of live e-sport event data to all remote viewers of a live e-sports event, features associated with e-sports gaming network could be used to customize the distribution of live e-sport event data to promote immersive viewer experience. The enhanced immersion can also be carried out in a virtual reality or augmented reality setting. The features would be capable of providing additional information, different views, and a variety of different commentators for the e-sports event so that the viewer can be more engaged when viewing the particular e-sports event. With the increased engagement from remote viewers, the distribution of live e-sports event data can also be further modified for monetization by incorporating advertisements as well.

Abstract: Methods and systems for tracking a game asset used in a video game includes receiving game inputs provided by a player during gameplay of the video game. The game inputs are analyzed to determine when the game inputs result in the occurrence of a significant event in the video game. A digital asset is awarded to the player providing the game inputs for the significant event. A non-fungible token is generated for the digital asset earned by the player and a value indicative of intrinsic value of the significant event is computed and associated with the digital asset. The non-fungible token is used to monitor use of the digital asset.

Abstract: A content image display section displays a content image. A system image display section superimposes a system image on the content image and displays the images in response to a user operation. The system image display section is provided with a chat information display section for displaying information related to a voice chat. A member display section displays members of one voice chat room in which the user stays. A chat list display section displays a list of a plurality of voice chat rooms in which the user stays.

Abstract: Systems and methods for real-time incorporation of user-produced content into a broadcast media stream are provided. A media title may be streamed to a producer computing device over a communication network. The producer computing device is associated with a channel for distributing the user-produced content in conjunction with the media title. Produced content may be captured from the producer computing device as the streamed media title is played on the producer computing device. Such captured produced content may be designated for the channel. The media title and the produced content may then be broadcast in real-time over the communication network to one or more subscriber devices subscribed to the channel. The media title and the produced content may be synchronized within the broadcast to reflect when the produced content was captured in relation to the media title as the media title was played on the producer computing device.
