US 11,957,982 B2 · Parametric player modeling for computer-implemented games

Abstract

A game management system generates a multidimensional parametric player model representative of player behavior by one or more players in a computer game. The parametric player model populated is used in the identification of groups or clusters of players, and/or in at least partly automated configuration of custom game content for behavior consistent with the parametric player model. A single parametric player model is defines a single set of parametric values corresponding to multiple predefined gameplay parameters, and can be used to model the behavior of a single respective player or to model the behavior of multiple players (e.g., based on cumulative historical gameplay data for the relevant players), providing a representative player model for those players. The player model is ingested by a content generator configured to generate game content customized to the behavior represented by the player model.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

populating a multidimensional player model representing gameplay behavior in a computer-implemented game, the player model comprising a multi-value set of parametric values corresponding to a predefined parameter set defined by multiple gameplay parameters, each parametric value being a numerical value representing player behavior for a respectively corresponding gameplay parameter in the parameter set;
and
in an at least partly automated procedure using the player model, generating custom game content specific to the player model, the generating of the custom game content comprising generating a custom configuration, the custom game content comprising determining a custom layout of gameplay elements as a function of one or more of the parametric values of the player model.

A system comprising:

one or more computer processor devices;
and
memory storing instructions to configure the system, when the instructions are executed by the one or more computer processor devices, to perform operations comprising:
populating a multidimensional player model representing gameplay behavior in a computer-implemented game, the player model comprising a multi-value set of parametric values corresponding to a predefined parameter set defined by multiple gameplay parameters, each parametric value being a numerical value representing player behavior for a respectively corresponding gameplay parameter in the parameter set;
and
in an at least partly automated procedure using the player model, generating custom game content specific to the player model, the generating of the custom game content comprising generating a custom configuration, the custom game content comprising determining a custom layout of gameplay elements as a function of one or more of the parametric values of the player model.
