Abstract: Techniques for coordination of content presentation operations are described herein. In some cases, a client may generate client metadata associated with client event data. The client metadata may include, for example, an indication of any one or more of a time, a frame, a location, an angle, a direction, a speed, a force, or other information associated with the client event data. Also, in some cases, the content provider may generate content provider metadata associated with image data. For example, the content provider metadata may indicate a location of a virtual camera associated with the respective image data and/or a location of one or more objects represented within the respective image data.

Abstract: A game system allows a user to play a game in a similar way to a game machine. The game system includes a server device, a game machine, and a network terminal device. A game machine program makes a control device function as a device for making a user play a game and a device for accepting a predetermined service from the server device as well as identifying a user in cooperation with the server device. The server device is provided with a virtual game machine portion which executes the game machine program and makes a control unit thereof function as the device for making a user play the game and the device for accepting the service. The network terminal device is provided with an I/O control portion which makes the network terminal device function as a remote I/O device for the virtual game machine control portion.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of interaction with an application executed by a piece of equipment separate from a client terminal implementing the method of interaction. In particular, the method of interaction is a method for interaction of a client terminal with an application executed remotely. The application executed remotely is, in particular, a video game broadcast using, for example, a WebRTC communication protocol. One piece of subject matter of the invention is a method of interaction with an application, executed by a piece of equipment, providing a video stream displayed by a client terminal separate from the piece of equipment, the method of interaction comprising a transmission of a piece of position information suitable as an interaction position input parameter of the application, the suitable position information being dependent: —on a client position of a positional interface relative to an image of the video stream, —and proportional to the ratio between a resolution of the piece of equipment and a suitable client resolution. Therefore, interaction errors during the remote execution of an application are avoided, while limiting the network load and calculation costs, and maintaining the real-time character.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to the implementation of a gaming environment including gaming servers for instantiating instances of games requested by a user. The gaming environment includes a game device for obtaining game inputs corresponding to the instantiated game. Additionally, the gaming environment includes one or more output devices for obtaining outputs generated by the processing of the inputs by the gaming server. Illustratively, the game device and one or more output devices form game device groups. Within each game device group, the inputs obtained by game device are transmitted independent of the outputs transmitted to the output devices. The transmission of input data from the game device and the transmission of the output audio data, output video data or other data from the gaming server may be individually optimized.

Abstract: Methods and systems to identify options of secondary client devices for a device handover of game play include establishing a session of game play of a game for a primary client device by executing the game on a server for streaming video frames to the primary client device. A request is received to generate a profile of one or more secondary client devices that are identified to be local to the primary client device. The profile is configured to identify device attributes for the secondary client devices. A handover option is provided to the primary client device during game play, identifying one or more of the secondary client devices, based on the profile. A selection of a secondary client device identified by the handover option received from the primary client device causes pausing of the streaming of video frames to the primary client device, saving a game state for the game and providing an option to resume play of the game on the secondary client device. A resume request received from the secondary client device causes the game state for the game to be accessed and game play resumed so as to continue streaming video frames to the secondary client device.

Abstract: A display data generation method used in a computer including an output module, includes generating display data of page numbers for scrollably displaying page numbers of a plurality of pages each containing predetermined item information, to output the display data of page numbers from the output module, retrieving page information indicating a same number of pages as a number of page numbers displayed in a distance corresponding to a distance between two points in a display region in which the page numbers are displayed when the two points are specified by the user, wherein the number of page numbers are calculated based on the distance between the two points and the distance between adjacent page numbers displayed in the display region, and generating item display data for displaying item information contained in the pages indicated in the retrieved page information, to output the item display data from the output module.

Abstract: A cloud network server system, a method, and a software program product for experiencing a three-dimensional (3D) model are provided. 3D model data associated with a 3D video game is uploaded to the cloud network server system. The system and method are used to design for example a computer game that renders non-spatial characteristics such as, smell, reflection and/or refraction of light, wind direction, sound reflection, etc., along with spatial and visibility information associated with 3D objects displayed in the 3D video game. Different versions of the 3D model are created based on memory, streaming bandwidth, and/or processing power requirements of different user terminal computers. Based on a virtual location of a user in the 3D model, parts of at least one version of the 3D model are rendered to the user.

Abstract: To encourage viewer participation, games, contests and social interactions are able to be synchronized with programming such as television shows or commercials utilizing a second screen such as a cell phone, iPad® or laptop computer. The programming is able to be television programming, Internet programming (e.g. a video displayed on a webpage or mobile device) or any other programming. The gaming is able to be any game such as a game of skill or chance, for example, played in connection with a football telecast.

Abstract: Digital readable narrative content comprising written narrative materials for display in a digital format and a macronarrative may be gathered. A user engagement parameter that represents an engagement attribute of a user of a networked device with the digital readable narrative content may be gathered. A first narrative episode within the digital readable narrative content that comprises a first micronarrative, that in turn is part of the macronarrative, and that has a first narrative size based on the user engagement parameter may be selected. One or more first gameplay actions that facilitate one or more first user interactions with the first narrative episode may be associated with the first narrative episode. First streaming blocks that contain the first narrative episode may be created to facilitate streaming the first narrative episode to the networked device.

Abstract: On a server, a collision handler is called by a physics simulation engine to categorize a plurality of rigid bodies in some simulation data as either colliding or not colliding. The simulation data relates to a triggering event involving the plurality of rigid bodies and is generated by a simulation of both gravitational trajectories and collisions of rigid bodies. Based on the categorization and the simulation data, a synchronization engine generates synchronization packets for the colliding bodies only and transmits the packets to one or more client computing devices configured to perform a reduced simulation function.
