Abstract:

In various examples, natural language processing may be performed on text generated by a game to extract one or more in-game events from the game. The system (e.g., a client device and/or server) may receive the text in the form of one or more strings generated by a game application. The system may then extract one or more in-game events from the text using natural language processing. The game may include the text in a message it sends to the system (e.g., using an Application Programming Interface (API)) and/or in a game log entry or notification. The text may be generated based at least on the game determining one or more conditions are satisfied in the gameplay (e.g., victory, points scored, milestones, eliminations, item acquisition, etc.). The text may be mapped to event templates, which may then be used to extract parameters of events therefrom.

Abstract:

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth techniques for selecting an audio environment for a handheld device. A widget detects a first input via a specially designated input mechanism. The widget enters an audio processing environment select mode based on the first input. The widget detects a second input via either the specially designated input mechanism or a second input mechanism. The widget changes an audio processing environment from a first setting to a second setting based on the second input. One advantage of the disclosed techniques is that users may change audio processing environments quickly and intuitively using existing input mechanisms such as a mute button, volume rocker control, and touch screen interface on a handheld device.
