Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to systems for content recommendation and, more particularly, to systems and related processes for recommending gaming content, such as video game play session content for a video game based on players’ performance.
  • Video game play content may be recommended to a user based on the user’s watching history of the video games, genre of the games, and rating of the teams played in the video games.
  • recommendations of the game play maybe biased. For example, a particular team may be top rated compared to another team, but that team may not have played their best in that game.
  • the recommendation engine will not evaluate the game based on how that game was played by a player or the entire team for a particular genre at a particular level.
  • the present disclosure provides systems and related methods that recommend video game play content session content for a video game based on a player’s and/or team’s performance in the game.
  • the recommendation is based on sequential order of a pre-game analysis, an in-game analysis, and a post-game analysis of the video play game play content.
  • a system compares information in the post-game analysis with information in the pre-game analysis to determine whether to recommend the video game play content. For example, the system analyzes a particular player’s statistics before the game (pre-game analysis) and determines how that player played in an actual game (in-game analysis). Assuming the player played well in the actual game, the system analyzes the player’s statistics (e.g. no. of kills, no. of saves etc.) in the post-game analysis and determines whether the statistics are approximately same as the player’s statistics in the pre-game analysis. In other words, if system determines whether the player’s performance during the in-game analysis is close to performance in the pre-game analysis. If it is determined that the players’ performance is determined to be close, then the system recommends video game play content of the actual video game.
  • the system analyzes a particular player’s statistics before the game (pre-game analysis) and determines how that player played in an actual game (in-game analysis). Assuming the player played well in the actual game, the system
  • the system determines, in the pre-game analysis, whether a game play of a video game is interesting or not. For example, in the pre-game analysis, the system would analyze to determine that a player performance was really good, e.g. player killed 20 dragons in 30 minutes and thus would find the video game to be interesting. If the game play is determined to be interesting, then the system would further evaluate the game play of the video game in the in-game analysis. In the in-game analysis, the system would for example, determine the same player’s performance to be good also, e.g. the player killed 19 dragons in 30 minutes. Then, the system recommends the user to watch the video game play content of the actual video game.
  • the method in one aspect, includes calculating a pre-game performance metric based on stored player data and on stored settings for the video game. A determination is made that the pre-game performance metric meets a pre-game threshold. In response to determining that the pre-game performance metric meets the pre-game threshold, an in-game performance metric is calculated based on stored metadata associated with the video game play session content that is indicative of aspects of game play. Also, a determination is made that the in game performance metric meets an in-game performance threshold. In response to determining that the in-game performance metric meets the in-game performance threshold, aggregated statistics from the video game play session content are determined. The method further analyzes the aggregated statistic relative to the stored player data and stored settings for the video game and based on the analyzing, determines whether to recommend the video game play session content.
  • the method includes evaluating video game play session content for a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game.
  • Player data for each player of each team associated with the video game play session and stored settings for the MOBA video game is analyzed to determine to evaluate the video game play session content.
  • the player data includes metrics related to attack metrics, defense metrics, and damage metrics.
  • an in-game performance of each player of each team in the video game play session content is analyzed based on a game map of the video game play session content and on in-game metrics for each player of each team determined from the video game play session content.
  • the in-game metrics includes in-game attack metrics, in-game defense metrics, and in-game damage metrics.
  • the method further determines whether to recommend the video game play session content based on the in-game performance of each player of each team.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés de fourniture de recommandation de contenu de jeu d'un jeu vidéo en fonction de la performance du joueur. Avant de jouer réellement dans un jeu vidéo, une métrique de performance est calculée en fonction de données de joueur stockées et de réglages vidéo du jeu. La métrique de performance est évaluée pour calculer ensuite une métrique de performance de contenu de séance de jeu au jeu vidéo indiquant des aspects de jeu réel au jeu vidéo. Des données de métriques de chaque joueur sont déterminées à partir du contenu de séance de jeu au jeu vidéo. Les données de métriques de joueur sont analysées par rapport aux données de joueur stockées et aux réglages vidéo du jeu pour déterminer s'il faut recommander le contenu de séance de jeu au jeu vidéo.
