Abstract: A method and system for generating a customized summary of virtual actions and events. Gameplay data sent over a communication network from a client device of the player engaged in a current activity of the respective interactive content title within a current gameplay session may be monitored. A trigger in the monitored gameplay data is detected and associated with a request for a summary that encapsulates actions and events of past gameplay associated with the trigger. A subset of the actions and events of the past gameplay for the summary is selected based on one or more selected customized tags associated with the trigger. The summary is generated based on the selected subset of the actions and events and provided to the client device for presentation.

Abstract: Methods and systems for cooperative or coached gameplay in virtual environments are disclosed. Memory may store a content control profile regarding a set of control input associated with an action in a virtual environment of a digital content title. A request may be received from a set of one or more users associated with different source devices regarding cooperative gameplay of the digital content title. At least one virtual avatar may be generated for an interactive session of the digital content title in response to the request. A plurality of control inputs may be received from the plurality of different source devices and combined into a combination set of control inputs. Generating the combination set of control input may be based on the content control profile. Virtual actions associated with the virtual avatar may be controlled within the virtual environment in accordance with the combination set of control inputs.

Abstract: Provided are a transmission apparatus, a transmission method, and a program that achieve transmission of image data having an appropriate referent with a small network load. An acquisition unit (26) sequentially acquires frame images drawn in a frame buffer. An encoding processing unit (28) sequentially encodes encoding units each corresponding to part or whole of one of the frame images and generates image data. A data transmitting unit (30) sequentially transmits the image data. A transmission failure probability estimating unit (38) estimates, after the transmission of the image data, a transmission failure probability that is a probability of failure of the transmission of the image data. A referent determining unit (42) determines, in reference to the transmission failure probability of the image data, one or a plurality of referents that serve as a referent of a given encoding unit from the encoding units related to the image data transmitted. The encoding processing unit (28) encodes the given encoding unit by referring to the one or the plurality of referents, thereby generating the image data.

Abstract: A data processing device includes a plurality of cameras arranged according to a predetermined configuration, where each camera is configured to capture successive images and to detect a current location of one or more elements in the captured images with respect to a coordinate system of the camera, a processor to generate a common camera coordinate system in dependence upon the respective coordinate systems of the plurality of cameras, the common camera coordinate system comprising a set of locations in a three-dimensional space included within the field of view of the plurality of cameras, and a detector to detect a current location of a given element with respect to the common camera coordinate system based on images captured by the plurality of cameras, wherein for each camera, the processor is configured, in response to a detection by the detector that the current location of the given element corresponds to a location in the set of locations of the common camera coordinate system, to generate first data for that location in the set of locations indicative of a mapping between the coordinate system for the camera and the common camera coordinate system, and wherein in response to a detection of a location in the set of locations for which the first data is indicative of the mapping for two or more cameras with respect to the common camera coordinate system, the processor is configured to generate second data for that location indicative of a mapping between the coordinate systems for the two or more cameras.

Abstract: An acoustic-based Direction of Arrival (DoA) system uses acoustic information to determine the direction of incoming sound, such as a person talking. The direction of the sound is then used to focus a laser-based time of flight (ToF) system to narrow the area of laser illumination, improving the signal to noise ratio because laser illumination is focused on the direction of the sound. The DoA system also provides elevation information pertaining to the source of the sound, to further narrow the required field of view of the laser ToF system.
