Abstract: A method for dynamically modifying audio playback of a video game is provided. The method includes ascertaining a game music data associated with the video game. The game music data may include a plurality of game soundtracks classified according to predetermined criteria. The method may include collecting feedback over a period of time while the user is playing the video game. The method may continue with determining, based on the feedback, one or more replacement soundtracks based on criteria associated with the one or more replacement soundtracks. The method may further include dynamically modifying the game music data while the user is playing the video game by replacing at least one of the plurality of game soundtracks with the one or more replacement soundtracks to obtain modified game music data. The modified game music data may be provided to the user while the user is playing the video game.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for altering and combining real and simulated audio streams. For example, a system can determine a location of a first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The system can then determine a location of an object and can receive an audio stream associated with the object. The system can then determine a distance between the location of the first UAV and the location of the object. The system can adjust the audio stream volume according to the distance. The system can then send the audio stream to a listener.

Abstract: A method generating an image according to a style is described. The method includes receiving a textual description describing a first image. The method further includes applying an artificial intelligence (AI) model to determine the style of a second image based on the textual description, the first image, a plurality of descriptions, and a plurality of images to generate a suggestion. The style provides a context to the second image. The style is lacking in the first image. The method includes generating the second image with the suggestion according to the style and providing the second image to a client device for display.

Abstract: System, process and device configurations are provided for detecting negative gameplay behavior and gameplay control. A method can include receiving gameplay data for a plurality of players for a game, wherein the gameplay data includes player input controls for the plurality of players. The process may use player input controls to detect negative gameplay behavior, such as a toxic behavior, including but not limited to a team kill, item/equipment trade fraud. Player input controls may be identified and evaluated using a model. Processes can include warning players based on patterns observed by the model and blocking toxic player input controls meant to harm other players. Processes can include determining game function responses of the game to limit outcome of the at least one player input control for the game and controlling output of the game.

Abstract: An electronic system is configured to use a tailored large language model to process natural language spoken by a computer gamer during gameplay. Non-verbal output can then be provided in response, where the non-verbal output may be visual, tactile, and/or audible. As examples, the non-verbal output may respond to a request from the user, may acknowledge that the natural language is being processed, and/or may indicate that a requested action has been registered for execution in the future.

Abstract: Systems and methods for customizing an image based on user preferences are described. One of the methods includes receiving a textual description with a request to generate an image, accessing a user account to identify a characteristic of a user and a profile of the user, and generating the image by applying an image generation artificial intelligence (IGAI) model to the textual description based on the characteristic of the user and the profile of the user. The IGAI model is trained based on a plurality of images and a plurality of textual descriptions received from a plurality of users. The method further includes conditioning the image to confirm that the image satisfies a plurality of constraints to output a conditioned image and providing the conditioned image for display on a client device via the user account.

Abstract: A computer simulation object such as a chair is described by voice or photo input to render a 2D image. Machine learning may be used to convert voice input to the 2D image. The 2D image is converted to a 3D object and the 3D object or portions thereof are used in the computer simulation, such as a computer game, as the object such as a chair. A physics engine can be used to modify the 3D objects.

Abstract: A warning is generated when a computer simulation controller is determined to have insufficient charge to permit use through an upcoming simulation sequence. Thus, responsive to a computer simulation having a first context and a computer simulation controller having a first voltage, a human-perceptible indication of low voltage is presented, whereas if the computer simulation has a second context typically requiring less input than the first context, no indication is presented if the controller has the same first voltage.
