Computer simulation skills training techniques

Abstract

Techniques are disclosed pertaining to determining a level of proficiency of a user at a computer simulation through the use of a plurality of skill assessment tests. Each skill assessment test can test a respective skill for use in the computer simulation. The techniques can also be used to train a user for the computer simulation and / or to determine team composition using roles for use in the computer simulation. In some aspects, skill assessment tests may incorporate multiple iterations in including a first base line iteration and subsequent iterations that differ between user devices. In some embodiments, metrics that are indicative of a level of proficiency of the user can be made with respect to metrics of other users to determine a user's level of skill with respect to various groups of other users.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17 / 084,368, filed Oct. 29, 2020, entitled “COMPUTER SIMULATION SKILLS TRAINING TECHNIQUES,” which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.BACKGROUND[0002]Computer simulations are widely used for entertainment, education, and training purposes. Many computer simulations are competitive wherein users compete against each other in real time using internetworked computer devices. For example, video games can be competitive computer simulations used for entertainment purposes in the forms of first person shooters, real-time strategy games, driving simulators, role-playing games, etc. In these computer simulations, users may use computer devices in the form of PCs, console game platforms, handheld devices, etc. to interact, via a computer network including the internet, with competing users.[0003]Competitive computer simulations are beco...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a system for matching users of a computer simulation by role. The system receives metrics from users based on their performance at various skills in the simulation and uses those metrics to determine the user's suitability for a specific role in the team. The system can also use randomized tests to ensure a fair and accurate match. The technical effect of this system is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of computer simulations by automatically assigning users to roles based on their skills and abilities.

Problems solved by technology

However, there are few tools to aid users in becoming more proficient at competitive computer simulations.
