US 11,376,502 B2 · Adjudicating fault in a virtual simulation environment

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for adjudicating incidents between players within a simulation environment (e.g., a gaming environment). For example, systems disclosed herein involve training an adjudication model trained to evaluate player data from a plurality of player states over time to determine whether one or more players are at fault for an identified incident within the simulation environment. The systems disclosed herein can maintain a dynamic circular buffer that provides a snapshot of the player data over a predetermined period of time and which provides a scalable and computationally efficient mechanism for evaluating player data for multiple players to determine whether one or more players are violating rules within the simulation environment.

Dependent claims

A method performed by a client device, comprising:

maintaining, for a player in a simulation environment of an application, a circular buffer, the circular buffer including captured states of player data for the player over a predetermined period of time within the simulation environment;
detecting an incident between the player and one or more additional players within the simulation environment;
obtaining a current version of the circular buffer based on an identified conclusion of the incident between the player and the one or more additional players within the simulation environment;
and
providing the current version of the circular buffer to an adjudication model trained to output a fault determination for a given player based on a sequence of states of player data for the given player.

2 more elements

A client device, comprising:

one or more processors;
memory in electronic communication with the one or more processors;
and
instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the one or more processors to:
maintain, for a player in a simulation environment of an application, a circular buffer, the circular buffer including captured states of player data for the player over a predetermined period of time within the simulation environment;
detect an incident between the player and one or more additional players within the simulation environment;
obtain a current version of the circular buffer based on an identified conclusion of the incident between the player and the one or more additional players within the simulation environment;
and
provide the current version of the circular buffer to an adjudication model trained to output a fault determination for a given player based on a sequence of states of player data for the given player.

6 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, causes a client device to:

maintain, for a player in a simulation environment of an application, a circular buffer, the circular buffer including captured states of player data for the player over a predetermined period of time within the simulation environment;
detect an incident between the player and one or more additional players within the simulation environment;
obtain a current version of the circular buffer based on an identified conclusion of the incident between the player and the one or more additional players within the simulation environment;
and
provide the current version of the circular buffer to an adjudication model trained to output a fault determination for a given player based on a sequence of states of player data for the given player.
