A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a video game processing program for causing a server to perform functions to determine an influence area of an object on a character is provided. The functions includes: a registering function configured to register influence area information in advance, a relationship between a plurality of unit areas around an object when a character is connected to the object and a structural model constituting the character being set for each of the unit areas in the influence area information for each combination of the character and the object; and an outputting function configured to output, in a case where a certain combination of a character and an object is specified, influence area information corresponding to the certain combination.

A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, a processor that performs operations including detecting a first depression range of a button that includes an electro-mechanical sensor for detecting the first depression range, comparing the first depression range to a first actuation threshold, and asserting a first actuation state when the first depression range is at or exceeds the first actuation threshold. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

In various embodiments, a Data Processing System for Generating Interactive User Interfaces and Interactive Game Systems Based on Spatiotemporal Analysis of Video Content may be configured to: (1) enable a user to select one or more players participating in a substantially live (e.g., live) sporting or other event; (2) determine scoring data for each of the one or more selected players during the sporting or other event; (3) track the determined scoring data; (4) generate a custom (e.g., to the user) user interface that includes the scoring data; and (5) display the custom user interface over at least a portion of a display screen (e.g., on a mobile computing device) displaying one or more video feeds of the sporting or other event. In this way, the system may be configured to convert a video feed of a sporting event into an interactive game.

A game management system generates a multidimensional parametric player model representative of player behavior by one or more players in a computer game. The parametric player model populated is used in the identification of groups or clusters of players, and/or in at least partly automated configuration of custom game content for behavior consistent with the parametric player model. A single parametric player model is defines a single set of parametric values corresponding to multiple predefined gameplay parameters, and can be used to model the behavior of a single respective player or to model the behavior of multiple players (e.g., based on cumulative historical gameplay data for the relevant players), providing a representative player model for those players. The player model is ingested by a content generator configured to generate game content customized to the behavior represented by the player model.

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a computing device having a controller to modify sound produced by a gaming application according to an otological profile of a user. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

A computing system is configured to execute a computer program on a server and to provide a video stream of the program output to a geographically remote client over a communication network. An add-on manager is provided to facilitate the use of add-ons to extend the functionality of the computer program. The add-on manager is responsive to commands received from the client and is configured to associate individual add-ons and add-on data with specific user accounts. The add-ons can be located on the server or some other location remote from the client.

A system enhances existing audio-visual content with audio describing the setting of the visual content. A scene annotation module classifies scene elements from an image frame received from a host system and generates a caption describing the scene elements. A text to speech synthesis module may then convert the caption to synthesized speech data describing the scene elements within the image frame
