Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to: execute a first video game application, wherein execution of the first video game application comprises generating first control information indicative of one or more controls for controlling the first video game application; execute a control indication program using the first control information to indicate the one or more controls for controlling the first video game application to a user; execute a second video game application, wherein execution of the second video game application comprises generating second control information indicative of one or more controls for controlling the second video game application; and execute the control indication program using the second control information to indicate the one or more controls for controlling the second video game application to a user.

Abstract: A method is disclosed of detecting whether a first user is a bad actor within a platform network, in which the platform network enables interactions between individuals within video games, the method comprising the steps of measuring for the first user one or more selected from the list consisting of at least a first a game-agnostic behaviour metric that measures an investment of effort by the first user in interactions with other individuals; and at least a first a game-dependent behaviour metric that measures in-game patterns of interaction with other individuals by the first user, comparing the or each metric with an average or reference metric for a typical individual, and where a difference in the comparison or a combination of the comparisons meets a first criterion, treating this as indicative that the first user may be a bad actor.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to: receive a first signal indicative of one or more words communicated from a first user of online content to one or more second users of online content; classify the one or more words using the first signal; receive one or more second signals indicative of one or more physiological characteristics of the one or more second users in response to the communicated one or more words; classify the one or more physiological characteristics of the one or more second users using the one or more second signals; determine, based on a classification of the one or more words and a classification of the one or more physiological characteristics of the one or more second users, whether to generate an action signal, the action signal indicating that an action associated with the first user of the online content is to be taken; and when it is determined an action signal is to be generated, generate and output the action signal.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to: receive a first signal indicative of one or more words communicated from a first user of online content to one or more second users of online content; classify the one or more words using the first signal; receive one or more second signals indicative of one or more physiological characteristics of the first user within a time period of a start of the communication of the one or more words; classify the one or more physiological characteristics using the one or more second signals; based on a classification of the one or more words and a classification of the one or more physiological characteristics, generate an action signal indicating that an action associated with the first user of the online content is to be taken, the action signal indicating a characteristic of the action determined based on a combination of the classification of the one or more words and the classification of the one or more physiological characteristics; and output the action signal.
