Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods utilizing an application that utilizes the hardware and software capabilities of a mobile device to extend the time of user engagement. The hardware and software capabilities of the mobile device that are utilized can include gaze tracking, requiring user engagement for award redemption, requiring two-device confirmation in a trading system, blockchain tracking, geo-location reminders, Global Positioning System (GPS) reminders, and combinations thereof.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- providing a virtual scoreboard with a graphical user interface on an application on a mobile device,
- displaying real-time information on the virtual scoreboard;
- receiving from the mobile device a user input for at least one of a plurality of units of gameplay within a prescribed time limit, wherein the plurality of units of gameplay are related to the real-time information;
- polling one or more data sources for updates to the real-time information;
- determining a target view point on a screen of the mobile device from a plurality of view points that a user looked at the most using gaze tracking;
- and
- moving information on the graphical user interface of the mobile device from a first position to a second position to encourage continued interaction with the virtual scoreboard wherein the second position is the target view point.
A system for providing an interactive fan engagement experience, the system comprising:
- a central processing server in communication with at least one computer network and an application running on one or more mobile devices, wherein the central processing server is configured to:
- obtain real-time information from one or more data sources;
- present, via the application, a virtual scoreboard with a graphical user interface, wherein the virtual scoreboard is configured to display the real-time information and is configured to accept user input for a plurality of units of gameplay related to the real-time information within a prescribed time limit;
- receive and present, via the application, the user input for a plurality of units of gameplay, wherein the user input comprises a numeral from the one or more mobile devices;
- and
- a gaze tracking system that utilizes a camera of the one more mobile devices, wherein the camera uses one or more images of a user's eyes and facial features to determine a plurality of view points on a screen of the one or more mobile devices a user is looking;
- and
- wherein the application is configured to receive data from the gaze tracking system and change the graphical user interface of application seen by the user to present information to target view points from the plurality of view points determined to be viewed more frequently by the user to encourage continued interaction with the application.
