A speech-processing system may be configured to provide certain endpoints (e.g., skills and / or applications) with data reflecting an explicitly selected user profile. When handling requests from a device configured to support a session context (e.g., a personal device), the skill may handle multiple requests in an interaction (e.g., a “session”) using the selected profile as the session context, even if the system recognizes a different user for one or more of the requests. Thus, if the system recognizes more than one user using a personal device during an interaction with the skill (e.g., playing a game or requesting songs), the skill may handle each request of the interaction according to the selected profile. For a device not configured to support a session person, however, (e.g., a communal device) the skill may handle each request according to the recognized profile regardless of an explicitly selected profile.

The invention provides an automatic game playing implementation method and system based on a host mechanism, and the method comprises the steps: enabling a server to execute a host selection algorithm based on network delay data after the game playing is started, and determining a current host client; the host client side calculates behavior instructions and behavior results of all the AI robots in the scene; the server receives a calculation result fed back by the host client and verifies the calculation result; if verification fails, it is judged that the host cheats and stops the authority of the host, and if verification passes, whether the current calculation step is a preset key step or not is judged; if yes, broadcasting calculation results to all the clients and requiring verification, and arbitrating whether to pass or not according to voting results of the clients; if not, directly broadcasting the calculation result; and all the clients execute the calculation result finally broadcasted by the server. According to the method, computing resource consumption of the server can be reduced, and the bearing capacity of the system is improved; and the anti-cheating capability can be enhanced, and the game fairness is guaranteed.

A framework trains game-engine-like neural models from annotated videos to generate a Learnable Game Engine (LGE) that maintains states of the scene, objects and agents in it, and enables rendering the environment from a controllable viewpoint. The LGE models the logic of the game and the rules of physics, making it possible for the user to play the game by specifying both high- and low-level action sequences. The LGE also unlocks a director's mode where the game is played by plotting behind the scenes, specifying high-level actions and goals for the agents using text-based instructions. To implement the director's mode, a trained diffusion-based animation model navigates the scene using high-level constraints, to enable play against an adversary, and to devise the strategy to win a point. To render the resulting state of the environment and its agents, a compositional neural radiance field (NeRF) representation is used in a synthesis model.

Through the use of an internal support system integrated with the interior shell of a hollow ball, the concentration of impact stress to the ball's shell during game play is reduced through better dispersion and resistance of applied force, while also reinforcing the ball's shell at its weakest points, which are the holes, thus making it more resilient and thereby less susceptible to breakage. Enhanced fortification against impact stress applied during gameplay serves to increase the usable life of the ball.

A plurality of finger actuatable paddles may be selectively installed on and removed from a socket on the controller to provide game play inputs. Overlays may be releasably installed by the user on the console to change appearance and / or tactile features of portions of the controller.

A graphical user interface (GUI) of a gaming device displays a first option to play a bonus game at the first multiplier value and a second option to increase the first multiplier value for a future bonus game. Based on a selection of the first option by a player, the gaming device initiates the bonus game, generates a bonus game result, determines a first bonus game award based on the bonus game result, multiplies the first bonus game award based on the first multiplier to generate a first total bonus game award, and awards the first total bonus game award to the player. Based on a selection of the second option by the player, the gaming device increases the first multiplier value to a second multiplier value higher than the first multiplier value, removes the first bonus game trigger condition, and resumes play of the base wagering game.
