Methods and systems are described for facilitating lending of NFTs through an NFT marketplace system. In some embodiments a token marketplace system receives a request from a lender to create an NFT loan listing, verifies the lender's ownership of the token, and creates the listing. When a potential borrower requests to borrow the NFT, the system initiates a series of verification steps. These include requesting permission for a retrieval smart contract to act on behalf of the borrower's account and confirming that these permissions have been granted by the lendee. Upon successful verification, the system initiates a blockchain transaction to transfer the NFT to the borrower's account. The foregoing allows NFT owners to lend their NFTs to lendees in a trustless ecosystem.

A game controller can provide input to a video game played on a mobile computing device. Some games require a touch input on the touch screen of a mobile computing device, but a game controller may not have its own touch screen to receive and provide the required touch input. The game controller can be manually configured by a user of the game controller to convert an actuation of a control surface (e.g., a button, joystick, etc.) of the game controller to a touch screen input. However, this can be a very cumbersome and frustrating process for the user and has several limitations. The embodiments described herein can overcome this problem by providing a map that is automatically configured, without user configuration, to convert an input representing an actuation of the control surface into a touch screen input.

A universal mobile game controller is provided that can interoperate with multiple computing device operating systems (e.g., Android and iOS) in an automatic way through a common connector (e.g., USB-C).

These embodiments can also enable communication with an application running within the computing device operating system. Other embodiments are provided.

Various embodiments of the technology described programmatically access a user query intended for a Large Language Model (LLM), analyze the user query, and determine prompt-enriching information that is combined with the user query to generate an enriched user query that is ultimately communicated to the LLM. In this manner, additional prompt-enriching information or context is added to the user query before being communicated to the LLM so that the additional prompt-enriching information, along with the user query, can be tokenized to better guide the LLM to a more accurate answer without modifying weights, parameters, or training of the LLM. Certain embodiments have the technical effect of improved accuracy relative to existing approaches by enriching user queries with prompt-enriching information to generate an enriched user query that is passed to the LLM. Based on the enriched user query, certain embodiments reduce the likelihood of hallucinations present in the LLM response.

One challenge of designing a handheld game controller to accommodate thicker phones and phone cases is that it tends to make the handheld game controller thicker. A thicker handheld game controller increases weight, volume and material expense. In one embodiment, a handheld game controller is provided with an “overhang” that solves this problem by decoupling increased thickness of the phone from the requirement of increasing controller thickness. This allows for the benefits of broader phone and case support, while maintaining a more-comfortable posture.
