Abstract

Example embodiments relate to predicting aspects of an unknown event. A system may involve an electronic device communicatively coupled to a server. The server may provide a set of possible parameters relating to an unknown event to the electronic device. The electronic device may enable a user to select predicted parameters via a user interface and may further transmit the predicted parameters to the server. The server may generate a combination from the set of possible parameters to use to retrieve a pre-recorded event and transmit the event to the electronic device for display to the user. The server may also compare the predicted parameters to the generated parameters to determine a result and provide the result to the electronic device for display to the user.

Claims (68)

1. A server-implemented method comprising:

generating a set of pre-recorded events by:

detecting a plurality of events within a video using an artificial neural network (ANN) trained to detect events associated with a respective set of parameters within videos;

creating video clips based on the plurality of events detected within the video; and

adding the video clips to a library of pre-recorded events, each video clip being added to the library in association with the respective set of parameters of the video clip;

providing, to an electronic device, a plurality of possible parameters relating to an actual or hypothetical event having an as-yet unknown outcome;

receiving, from the electronic device, a selection of at least one predicted parameter of the plurality of possible parameters, the at least one predicted parameter constraining the as-yet unknown outcome;

generating, using a random number generator (RNG), a combination of parameters selected from the plurality of possible parameters so as to provide generated parameters;

retrieving, from the library of pre-recorded events, a pre-recorded event associated with the generated parameters;

transmitting, to the electronic device, the retrieved pre-recorded event for display;

comparing the at least one predicted parameter with the generated parameters to determine a result; and

transmitting, to the electronic device, the determined result for display.

2. The server-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the electronic device, a desired category of the actual or hypothetical event having the as-yet unknown outcome.

3. The server-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the server comprises:

one or more libraries of pre-recorded events, wherein the one or more libraries of pre-recorded events are configured to store content corresponds to a plurality of pre-recorded events.

4. The server-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

processing the determined result to provide an indication of a success rate to the electronic device.

5. The server-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the library of pre-recorded events comprises:

one or more sporting events, gender reveals, news events, television shows, movies, video games, and general activities.

6. The server-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a set of additional pre-recorded events; and

adding the set of additional pre-recorded events to the library of pre-recorded events.

7. A method comprising:

providing, by an electronic device, a plurality of possible parameters via a user interface, wherein the plurality of possible parameters relate to an actual or hypothetical event having an as-yet unknown outcome;

receiving, via the user interface of the electronic device, an input indicative of one or more predicted parameters, wherein the one or more predicted parameters constrain the as-yet unknown outcome;

transmitting the one or more predicted parameters to a server, wherein the server generated a set of pre-recorded events by: (i) detecting a plurality of events within a video, using an artificial neural network (ANN) trained to detect events associated with a respective set of parameters within videos, (ii) creating video clips based on the detected plurality of events within the video, and (iii) adding the video clips to a library of pre-recorded events, each video clip being added to the library in association with the respective set of parameters of the video clip;

receiving, by the electronic device and from the server, a pre-recorded event for display;

displaying, via the user interface, the pre-recorded event;

receiving information indicative of a result of the unknown outcome; and

displaying, via the user interface, result information, wherein the result information is based on a comparison between the one or more predicted parameters and the result of the unknown outcome.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

receiving, via the user interface of the electronic device, a selection of a category of pre-recorded events; and

transmitting the selection of the category of pre-recorded events.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving the plurality of possible parameters based on transmitting the selection of the category of pre-recorded events.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the electronic device comprises a smartphone, a laptop computer, a wearable computing device, a handheld gaming device, a gaming system, or a standalone gaming device.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the pre-recorded event corresponds to one or more of a sporting event, a gender reveal, a news event, a television show, a movie, a video game, and a general activity.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein receiving the input indicative of one or more predicted parameters further comprises:

receiving a wager corresponding to the one or more predicted parameters, wherein a value of the wager is between a minimum value and a maximum value.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the minimum value and the maximum value are based on a type of the pre-recorded event.

14. The method of claim 7 , wherein transmitting the one or more predicted parameters comprises:

transmitting the one or more predicted parameters to a server; and

wherein receiving the pre-recorded event comprises:

receiving display information indicative of the pre-recorded event from the server.

15. The method of claim 7 , wherein displaying the pre-recorded event comprises:

displaying one or more of one or more images, background information, maps, statistics, videos, multimedia, or text corresponding to the pre-recorded event.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to store instructions, that when executed by a computing system comprising one or more processors, causes the computing system to perform operations comprising:

generating a set of pre-recorded events by:

detecting a plurality of events within a video using an artificial neural network (ANN) trained to detect events associated with a respective set of parameters within videos;

creating video clips based on the plurality of events detected within the video; and

adding the video clips to a library of pre-recorded events, each video clip being added to the library in association with the respective set of parameters of the video clip;

providing, to an electronic device, a plurality of possible parameters relating to an actual or hypothetical event having an as-yet unknown outcome;

receiving, from the electronic device, a selection of at least one predicted parameter of the plurality of possible parameters, the at least one predicted parameter constraining the as-yet unknown outcome;

generating, using a random number generator (RNG), a combination of parameters selected from the plurality of possible parameters so as to provide generated parameters;

retrieving, from the library of pre-recorded events, a pre-recorded event associated with the generated parameters;

transmitting, to the electronic device, the retrieved pre-recorded event for display;

comparing the at least one predicted parameter with the generated parameters to determine a result; and

transmitting, to the electronic device, the determined result for display.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , further comprising:
