Systems and methods for reducing latency through motion estimation and compensation techniques are disclosed. The systems and methods include a client device that uses transmitted lookup tables from a remote server to match user input to motion vectors, and tag and sum those motion vectors. When a remote server transmits encoded video frames to the client, the client decodes those video frames and applies the summed motion vectors to the decoded frames to estimate motion in those frames. In certain embodiments, the systems and methods generate motion vectors at a server based on predetermined criteria and transmit the generated motion vectors and one or more invalidators to a client, which caches those motion vectors and invalidators. The server instructs the client to receive input from a user, and use that input to match to cached motion vectors or invalidators. Based on that comparison, the client then applies the matched motion vectors or invalidators to effect motion compensation in a graphic interface. In other embodiments, the systems and methods cache repetitive motion vectors at a server, which transmits a previously generated motion vector library to a client. The client stores the motion vector library, and monitors for user input data. The server instructs the client to calculate a motion estimate from the input data and instructs the client to update the stored motion vector library based on the input data, so that the client applies the stored motion vector library to initiate motion in a graphic interface prior to receiving actual motion vector data from the server. In this manner, latency in video data streams is reduced.

The present disclosure describes methods and systems directed towards identifying player engagement to generate contextual game play assistance. User gameplay information is monitored so that the user can be provided assistance within the video game where the user may have problems. User gameplay information is monitored in order to identify what type(s) of assistance could be provided to the user. The information can be based on the current level of frustration of the user with the video game.

A method includes: processing a request to execute a transaction of a virtual asset of a video game; responsive to the request, accessing a blockchain to perform an anti-fraud verification, including analyzing data of a prior transaction involving the virtual asset; responsive to the anti-fraud verification providing a result that does not indicate fraudulent activity, then generating transaction data based on an identifier for the first user account, an identifier for the second user account, an identifier for the virtual asset, and state data of the virtual asset, and submitting the transaction data to a node network, to write the transaction data to a block of the blockchain; receiving confirmation of the writing of the transaction data; responsive to receiving the confirmation, then updating a registry of virtual assets to transfer ownership of the virtual asset from the first user account to the second user account.

A system and method for presentation of computer vision (e.g., augmented reality, virtual reality) using user data and a user code is disclosed. A client device can detect an image feature (e.g., scannable code) in one or more images. The image feature is determined to be linked to a user account. User data from the user account can then be used to generate one or more augmented reality display elements that can be anchored to the image feature in the one or more images.

Through the present invention, game players can auction or transact game objects under their game accounts, such as roles, props, services, etc. The management of game account trading through the trading platform will also protect the safety of game object transactions. In addition, players can also take advantage of the functions of the present invention to manage their auctions and negotiate prices.

The present disclosure describes methods and systems directed towards automating tournaments within a gaming environment. Data regarding a first set of players that registered for a tournament may be received by a tournament server. The players are placed in a tournament queue. If the number of players in the tournament queue exceeds a certain threshold, then one or more tournaments are created based on a model tournament, the maximum size of the tournament, and the number of players in the tournament queue. The players in the tournament queue are placed into each of the tournaments that includes one or more matches

A game image generating section 120 generates a first image and a second image of an application. An image providing section 152 provides the first image to an output apparatus 4. A sharing processing section 160 streaming-distributes the second image to the sharing server. A display image generating section 150 may generate a display image including at least the first image and information associated with the second image. In addition, the sharing processing section 160 may instruct the application to generate the second image on the basis of a request from a viewing user.
