Parental Controls of Gameplay Sessions
Systems and methods for monitoring gameplay for stopping points and applying a setting preference at a next predicted timing point. The monitored gameplay may be based on object data received from an object server. The supervising control server may predict one or more starting and/or stopping timing points in stopping periods within a gameplay session. The predicting of the one or more starting and/or stopping timing points may be based on a comparison of the gameplay data to historical gameplay data. Then, a setting preference set by a supervisory account may be applied to a next predicted timing point.
VIRTUAL OBJECT DYNAMIC CHANGE METHOD, APPARATUS, AND DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
This application provides a virtual object dynamic change method performed by a computer device. The method includes: obtaining a target region displayed by a virtual scene on a current interface; determining an environmental element associated with the target region, and an operation to a virtual object displayed in the target region; determining a dynamic change parameter of the virtual object according to the environmental element and the operation; updating the virtual object in the target region according to the dynamic change parameter, to obtain a updated virtual object; and causing a display of the updated virtual object on the current interface.
Communication with augmented reality virtual agents
A method implemented by a processor of a computing device, comprising: receiving an image from a camera; using a machine vision process to recognize the at least one real-world object in the image; displaying on a screen an augmented reality (AR) scene containing the at least one real-world object and a virtual agent; receiving user input; deriving a simplified user intent from the user input; and in response to the user input, animating the virtual agent within the AR scene, the animating being dependent on the simplified user intent. Deriving a simplified user intent from the user input may include converting the user input into a user phrase, determining at least one semantic element in the user phrase, and converting the at least one semantic element into the simplified user intent.
Connecting a player to expert help in real-time during game play of a gaming application
A method for gaming assistance. Information relating to game plays of player for a gaming application is received at a back-end server. A current game context of a first game play of a first player is determined from the information. Historical expert game contexts of expert game plays of experts that have played the gaming application are determined from the information. An assistance query related to the first game play is received. The current game context of the first player is compared to the historical expert game contexts to determine at least one expert having a corresponding historical expert game context that matches the first game context. A first expert is assigned to the first player for obtaining assistance. A communication session is generated between a device of the first expert and a device of the first player to enable the first expert to render assistance to the first player.
Systems and methods for determining game level attributes based on player skill level prior to game play in the level
A system, a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions, and a computer-implemented method are described herein for a System Tuner for customizing a player's experience. The System Tuner calculates a player skill level for a player. The System Tuner modifies at least one attribute of a second game level based on the player skill level prior to game play of the player in the second game level. The System Tuner detects game play of the player in the second game level. The System Tuner identifies a difference between a current rate of progression of the player and a reference rate of progression. The System Tuner triggers the modified attribute of the second game according to an extent of the difference between the current rate of progression and the reference rate of progression.
