CN-122028961-A - System and method for supporting team-based video game play

Abstract

Systems and methods by implementing an assessment engine, an auxiliary engine, and an auxiliary implementation controller provide for automatic detection and handling of team dilemma in video game play. The assessment engine implements a first Artificial Intelligence (AI) model to assess performance assessment parameters of a team of players participating in a video game play. The assistance engine implements a second AI model to determine assistance measures for improving play of the team of players in the video game. The auxiliary engine is started when the assessment engine determines that the performance assessment parameter indicates that the team of players is experiencing trouble in their video game play. The auxiliary implement controller implements auxiliary measures determined by the auxiliary engine in the video game.

15. 15. The system of claim 1, wherein the assistance measures include one or more of removing an existing player from the team of players and adding a new player to the team of players.
16. 16. The system of claim 1, wherein the assistance measures include providing the team of players with information about how to progress in the video game.
17. 17. The system of claim 1, wherein the assistance measures include adjusting tasks assigned to players in the team of players.
18. 18. The system of claim 1, wherein the assistance measure comprises adjusting an aspect of the video game.
19. 19. The system of claim 1, further comprising: A challenge engine configured to implement a third AI model to determine whether the team of players is sufficiently challenged in the video game, and A challenge adjustment controller configured to automatically increase a difficulty level of the video game in response to the challenge engine determining that the player team is under-challenged in the video game.
20. 20. The system of claim 19, wherein the challenge adjustment controller is configured to automatically reduce a difficulty level of the video game in response to the challenge engine determining that the player team is overly challenged in the video game.

Description

System and method for supporting team-based video game play Background The video game industry has experienced many changes over the years and has sought ways to enhance the player's video game play experience and increase the player's interaction with video games and/or online gaming systems, which ultimately results in more revenue for video game developers and providers, as well as the entire video game industry. It is against this background that the embodiments of the present disclosure are presented. Disclosure of Invention In one example embodiment, a system for automatically detecting team dilemma in video game play is disclosed. The system includes an evaluation engine configured to implement a first artificial intelligence (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AI) model to evaluate performance evaluation parameters of a team of players participating in video game play. The system also includes an assistance engine configured to implement a second AI model to determine assistance measures for improving play of the team of players in the video game. The auxiliary engine is started when the assessment engine determines that the performance assessment parameter indicates that the team of players is experiencing trouble in their video game play. The system also includes an auxiliary implement controller configured to implement auxiliary measures determined by the auxiliary engine in the video game. In one example embodiment, a method of automatically detecting team dilemma in video game play is disclosed.
