Abstract
Method of retrieving event information is presented. Memento objects can be recognized by an archive engine. Based on the recognition, the archive engine obtains information related to the memento object, possibly one or more recognizable features, and uses the information to search for events associated with a timeline that have corresponding tags. The archive engine can then return the event information as a result set to a user.
Claims22
A computer-based game event archiving system comprising:
- at least one non-transitory computer readable memory storing one or more computer readable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one non-transitory computer readable memory, wherein the at least one processor is operable to perform the following operations upon execution of the one or more computer readable instructions:
- obtaining location data related to a computer-based game from at least one location sensor associated with a first client device;
- instantiating, in the at least one non-transitory computer readable memory, an event object related to the computer-based game upon satisfaction of contextual triggering criteria depending on at least the location data and a time-based criterion;
- deriving one or more recognizable features from a digital representation of at least one memento token associated with the location data and the first client device;
- storing the event object in at least one database, wherein the event object is associated with the at least one memento token and is indexed by at least one of the one or more recognizable features, the time-based criterion, and the location data;
- and
- enabling the first client device and at least one other client device to retrieve the event object from the database during a common game session concurrently active in the first client device and the at least one other client device, based on the location data, the time-based criterion, and at least one recognizable feature similar to the at least one of the one or more recognizable features.
A method for archiving an event for a computer-based game, the method comprising:
- obtaining location data related to the computer-based game from at least one location sensor associated with a first client device;
- instantiating, in at least one non-transitory computer readable memory, an event object related to the computer-based game upon satisfaction of contextual triggering criteria depending on at least the location data and a time-based criterion;
- deriving one or more recognizable features from a digital representation of at least one memento token associated with the location data and the first client device;
- storing the event object in at least one database, wherein the event object is associated with the at least one memento token and is indexed by at least one of the one or more recognizable features, the time-based criterion, and the location data;
- and
- enabling the first client device and at least one other client device to retrieve the event object from the database during a common game session concurrently active in the first client device and the at least one other client device, based on the location data, the time-based criterion, and at least one recognizable feature similar to the at least one of the one or more recognizable features.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable memory configured for storing one or more computer-readable instructions, which upon execution by at least one processor coupled to the non-transitory computer readable memory, perform the following operations:
- obtaining location data related to a computer-based game from at least one location sensor associated with a first client device;
- instantiating, in the at least one non-transitory computer readable memory, an event object related to the computer-based game upon satisfaction of contextual triggering criteria depending on at least the location data and a time-based criterion;
- deriving one or more recognizable features from a digital representation of at least one memento token associated with the location data and the first client device;
- storing the event object in at least one database, wherein the event object is associated with the at least one memento token and is indexed by at least one of the one or more recognizable features, the time-based criterion, and the location data;
- and
- enabling the first client device and at least one other client device to retrieve the event object from the database during a common game session concurrently active in the first client device and the at least one other client device based on the location data, the time-based criterion, and at least one recognizable feature similar to the at least one of the one or more recognizable features.
