SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENABLING INTERACTIVE GAME ASSISTANCE DURING GAMEPLAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17827335 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENABLING INTERACTIVE GAME ASSISTANCE DURING GAMEPLAY
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application describes a method for providing adaptive game assistance during gameplay. - The method involves allowing a user to play a game using a game controller and accessing a profile model of the user during the game session. - The profile model is a machine learning model that predicts the user's gaming skills based on specific game contexts. - The method also includes detecting a context in the game where the profile model predicts that the user lacks a gaming skill to progress further. - When such a context is detected, a haptic cue is activated on the game controller. - The haptic cue is a vibration that occurs in a specific region of the game controller. - The vibration in the specific region of the game controller suggests a type of input that the user should make to advance in the game.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for providing adaptive game assistance during gameplay is described. The method includes providing access to play a game for a game session by a user via a game controller and accessing a profile model of the user during the game session. The profile model is a machine learning model used for predicting gaming skills from select game contexts in games. The method further includes detecting a context in the game during the game session where the profile model predicts that the user lacks a gaming skill to advance in the game and activating a haptic cue to the game controller, wherein the haptic cue is a vibration to a specific region of the game controller. The vibration to the specific region is suggestive of a type of input to be made using the game controller to advance in the game.
