Methods and systems for establishing games with automation using verbal communication

摘要

Methods and systems establish games with automation using verbal communication for exchanges between the automated game and the one or more game players. Game information data is converted into verbal information that is provided to the individual. The individual provides verbal instruction which is received and converted into the instruction data. The instruction data is applied to the current game to update the current game status. Information data for the current game status is converted to verbal information for the current game status which is provided to the individual. The game may be implemented on a local device of the individual or may be network-based and accessed remotely by the individual through verbal communication over a voice connection. The voice connection may be of various forms such as a conventional voiced call to a voice services node of a telephone network or a voice-over IP voiced call on a data network.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
prompting, through a communication network, a first game player to provide a voice pattern for registration; receiving the voice pattern from the first game player; registering the first game player as an active player based on the voice pattern; when the first game player is registered, allowing the first game player to participate in game play; and during participation of the first game player in game play:
receiving verbal game commands from the first game player and a second game player;identifying, via a processor, by comparing the voice pattern to a second game player voice pattern associated with the second game player, an instruction from the first game player within the verbal game commands; and responsive to the instruction, following a predefined set of logical operations comprising:
applying, via the processor, the instruction within the game play, to yield updated game play;providing a spoken notice to the first game player and the second game player regarding the updated game play; andbridging the verbal game commands of the first game player and the second game player in the communication network so that the first game player can hear the second game player but the second game player cannot hear the first game player, while the first game player is providing the verbal game commands.
