Abstract

A system is provided for control of an entertainment state system having segregated secure functions and public functions for use by one or more users of the system. First, a public interface portal receives instructions regarding operation of the entertainment state system from the one or more users. The interface portal includes a first interface, a processor, a graphical user interface (GUI) coupled to the processor, a control unit in operative communication with the processor and graphical user interface, and a second interface providing an application program interface (API). Secondly, a secure entity unit is provided, the secure entity unit including a receive interface, the receive interface adapted to receive a call from the application program interface (API) of the interface portal, a send interface, the send interface adapted to provide a response to the interface portal interface, a game engine, and a financial engine.

Claims (32)

1 . A method for control of data in a system having segregated secure functions in a segregated secure entity unit for use by secure users of the system and public functions in a public interface portal for use by one or more public users of the system, the system including a cognitive computing unit, the cognitive computing unit using at least machine learning based on training input for training of the cognitive computing unit, the system generating digital content based on data input from one or more data sources, the data input being subject to transformation into output content for output from the system, comprising the steps of:

receiving instructions at the public interface portal regarding operation of the system from the one or more public users, the public interface portal including:

receiving instructions at a first interface and communicate output from the first interface to the one or more public users, the instructions including a data input of first content and the output including at least transformed second content,

processing at least the first content into the transformed second content,

interfacing with the public users via a graphical user interface (GUI) coupled to a processor,

controlling by the processor and graphical user interface, enforcing behavior in the segregated secure entity unit, and

interfacing the public functions via an application program interface (API) adapted to the secure function by sending one or more call requests to the segregated secure entity unit and receiving one or more responses from the segregated secure entity unit, and

segregating the secure entity unit from the public interface portal, the segregated secure entity unit being accessible only to the secure users of the system, the segregated secure entity unit including:

receiving the one or more call requests from the application program interface (API) of the public interface portal,

sending one or more responses from the segregated secure entity unit to the public interface portal,

receiving at least in part the training input coupled to the cognitive computing unit for training of the cognitive computing unit,

training the cognitive computing unit, at least using a machine learning unit for training of the cognitive computing unit, and

transforming the first content into the transformed second content using the cognitive computing unit.

2 . The method for control of data of claim 1 wherein the data input first content is text.

3 . The method for control of data of claim 2 wherein the output second content is a machine translation of the text.

4 . The method for control of data of claim 1 wherein the data input first content is audio content.

5 . The method for control of data of claim 4 wherein the output second content is audio content of a chatbot.

6 . The method for control of data of claim 4 wherein the audio content is music.

7 . The method for control of data of claim 1 wherein the data input first content includes an image.

8 . The method for control of data of claim 1 wherein the output second content is an image.

9 . The method for control of data of claim 1 wherein the data input first content is game play data.

10 . The method for control of data of claim 1 wherein the training during the machine learning is supervised learning.

11 . The method for control of data of claim 1 wherein the training during the machine learning is non-supervised learning.

12 . The method for control of data of claim 1 wherein the training during the machine learning is reinforcement learning.

13 . The method for control of data of claim 1 wherein the machine learning utilizes a neural network.

14 . The method for control of data of claim 1 wherein the training during the machine learning identifies structure.

15 . The method for control of data of claim 1 wherein the training during machine learning identifies patterns.

16 . The method for control of data of claim 1 wherein the machine learning utilizes hyperparameters.

17 . The method for control of data of claim 1 wherein the training is trained at least in part with human input for training.

18 . The method for control of data of claim 1 wherein the training is trained at least in part with Internet of Things (IOT) data.

19 . The method for control of data of claim 1 wherein the data input of first content is video content.

20 . The method for control of data of claim 1 wherein the transformed second content is video content.
