System and method of utilizing a multiplayer game
In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, one or more methods, and/or one or more processes may determine first multiple subsegments of an image segment of first image segments associated with image coordinates; determine first multiple average color values respectively associated with the first multiple subsegments; receive user input from an information handling system (IHS) of the multiple information handling systems (IHSs); receive a second image frame of the game based at least on the user input; determine second multiple subsegments of an image segment of second image segments of the second image frame associated with the image coordinates; determine second multiple average color values respectively associated with the second multiple subsegments; determine that a comparison of the first multiple average color values with second multiple average color values meets or exceeds a threshold; and associate the image coordinates with the IHS of the multiple IHSs.
SHOOTING GAME DEVICE HAVING LOCKING FUNCTION, AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING LOCKING FUNCTION THEREOF
A shooting game device having a locking function, and a method for implementing the locking function thereof. A preview unit generates, according to at least one lockable target, a corresponding preview image including at least one lock icon corresponding to the at least one lockable target. The preview unit presents the preview image on a game screen and provides same to a player. The player can switch to and select any one of the at least one lock icon via a control unit, such that a game processing unit locks a corresponding lockable target, and the player can then quickly and accurately switch to said lockable target to perform locking. The invention thus meets user requirements.
Method and apparatus for analyzing user-generated performance data
A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, a processor that facilitates a performance of operations. The operations may include obtaining an identification of an action to monitor during a gameplay associated with a game, storing a representation of a sliding window of the gameplay in a first storage medium, monitoring, by the system, for the identification of the action during the gameplay, detecting the identification of the action during the gameplay responsive to the monitoring, and responsive to the detecting, storing the representation of the sliding window of the gameplay in a second storage medium that is different from the first storage medium. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
Non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein game program, game system, information processing apparatus, and information processing method
In a first mode, based on an operation input to a controller of a first player, a game system controls a first character object and controls a pointer object. In the first mode, the game system automatically controls a second character object and causes the second character object to perform a predetermined action on a position in a virtual space indicated by the pointer object. In a second mode, the game system controls the first character object based on the operation input to the controller of the first player and controls the second character object based on an operation input to a controller of a second player.
Methods, systems, and devices of social networking with portions of recorded game content
Embodiments include a system and method that facilitate detecting a request from a player to share a trigger clip of a video game, preparing the trigger clip for sharing and sharing the trigger clip in a message to a third party or to a social media destination. Additional embodiments include storing one or more trigger clips in a library where the trigger clips are available for searching and review by players and others. Advantages include making the trigger clips available for subsequent review, training, coaching and other purposes.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FACILITATING SECRET COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PLAYERS DURING GAME PLAY
Systems and methods for facilitating secret communication between players are described. One of the methods includes receiving image data of a first player to identify one or more gestures and receiving input data indicating a response of a second player to the one or more gestures. The method further includes training a model using the image data and the input data to generate an inference of communication between the first user and the second user. The method also includes generating additional inferences of communication between the first user and the second user. The method includes generating a recommendation to the second user based on the inference of communication and the additional inferences of communication.
BENDABLE DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
The present disclosure relates to a bendable display. For example, the bendable display device stores first information about a size of a screen of the bendable display device in a memory, outputs video data and audio data of content via the screen, receive second information about a curvature of the screen, and output the audio data adjusted based on the first information and the second information via the screen.
Video game systems and methods
Example systems and methods relate to playing a multi-player video game in which multiple players each supply inputs to a respective input device to control a corresponding game character in a game world displayed on a display screen. Movements of each game character in the game world are controlled in accordance with respective first game character control operations during the playing of the multi-player video game. In response to satisfaction of one or more conditions, one player's game character is protected from harm in the game world, wherein one of the one or more conditions is a condition triggered voluntarily by the one player. Movements of the protected game character in the game world are controlled based on a position of another, unprotected game character.
