Publication number: 20240024764Abstract: An expansion device includes a device body, which includes two carrying structures and a first elastic component, and a clamping structure. The two carrying structures are slidably disposed on each other, each carrying structure has a carrying portion and a clamping portion, and the carrying portion carries an electronic device. The first elastic component is connected to the two carrying structures and causes the two carrying structures to slide from a first state to a second state with variation of an elastic potential energy thereof, and the two clamping portions clamp the electronic device between the first state and the second state. The clamping structure includes a clamping component and a second elastic component. The clamping component is movably disposed on the carrying structure. The second elastic component causes the clamping component to move form a first position to a second position with variation of an elastic potential energy thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kai-Yu Cheng

Publication number: 20240024765Abstract: A game of skill played simultaneously by several players whereby each participant effectively competes only against players having a similar skill tier to provide a better opportunity to win awards. The system includes a central computer system with each remote participant having a mobile device such as a cell phone. The system also provides for effective promotion or updating to a higher skill tier of successful players of the game. Each skill tier adds complexity which increase point potentials. The game play is relatively easy initially, permitting new users to enjoy success in the game. As the user becomes more skilled and reaches higher tiers prizes increase and game elements become more challenging thus motivating continued play while retaining a player's interest. While players are able to view all scores including those in higher tiers, they will know that players in other tiers had more opportunities to earn points.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: David B. Lockton, Mark K. Berner, Mark J. Micheli

Publication number: 20240024767Abstract: A processing method includes acquiring a view list of a target client, the view list identifying at least one client associated with a view area of the target client in a game scene. The method further includes determining a to-be-synchronized client of the target client based on the view list. The method further includes, in response to a first to-be-synchronized client being not visible to the target client, performing game logic processing on first initial game data associated with the first to-be-synchronized client to obtain first game result data for transmitting to the target client. The method further includes, in response to a second to-be-synchronized client being visible to the target client, transmitting second initial game data associated with the second to-be-synchronized client to the target client to enable the target client to perform game logic processing on the second initial game data to obtain second game result data.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Company LimitedInventor: Junkai ZHANG

Publication number: 20240024769Abstract: Disclosed are an entertainment device, a method and a computer program. The entertainment device includes receiver circuitry and processing circuitry. The receiver circuitry receives, from a controller, input actuation information and associated motion detection information, where the input actuation information is indicative of detected actuation of at least one manual actuation input of the controller and the associated motion detection information is indicative of detected motion of the controller. The processing circuitry processes a game state of a game and, in at least a first mode of operation, selects, from amongst a plurality of interpretations, an interpretation of the input actuation information in dependence on the associated motion detection information and updates the processing of the game state in dependence on the selected interpretation of the input actuation information.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Alan Murphy, Mark Friend
