Abstract:
The present disclosure describes methods and systems directed towards assignment of contextual gameplay assistance to player reaction. By analyzing user gameplay and reactions of a user, appropriate gameplay assistance (such as hints, advice, or walk-through information) can be assigned for different thresholds associated with levels of frustration that users can obtain regarding different obstacles found within the video games. The system and methods allow for customization of what type of gameplay assistance can be provided to each user as each user may have different thresholds of frustration or preferences regarding the types of assistance they would like to receive within the video game.

Claim (Index 17):
A method for assigning contextual gameplay assistance, the method comprising:\n storing assistance information associated with a video game, wherein the assistance information assists users in overcoming events within the video game; establishing default thresholds that identify different levels of frustration for the user associated with the video game; assigning default assistance information for each of the default thresholds, wherein the assigned assistance information is offered to the user upon detection that the user reaction one of the default thresholds; receiving a first user gameplay data from the video game and a first user reaction associated with the user gameplay data, wherein user reaction is indicative of a level of user frustration with the video game; transmitting corresponding assistance information based on the user reaction compared against the default thresholds; monitoring subsequent user gameplay data and user reaction of the user after the user receives the assistance information from the assistance server, the subsequent user gameplay data indicating that the user has overcome the event; and modifying a user profile associated with the user, the user profile storing a general trend of the performance of the user that correspond to the established default thresholds, wherein the modification modifies the general trend of the performance of the user based on the monitored subsequent user gameplay data and user reaction, and wherein modification of the general trend includes:\n modifying the default thresholds, and \n re-assigning assistance information to each of the modified thresholds.
