Displaying contact identifiers based on user behavior in online games
A computer server has been granted a patent for a system that generates user behavior data based on interactions with a game displayed on multiple computer devices connected to the server. The system includes a network interface for receiving user inputs, computer storage for storing user inputs and contact identifiers of other users, and a processor that analyzes user progress in the game to predict the likelihood of a user leaving the game. The processor prioritizes a set of contact identifiers to be displayed on the user's device, focusing on users most likely to leave the game, encouraging interaction between users to potentially retain them in the game.
Furthermore, the system allows users to interact with their contacts through selectable icons associated with each contact identifier, facilitating engagement between users. The method involves transmitting a prioritized set of contact identifiers to the user's device, with a subset of users identified as most likely to leave the game, and displaying them in a customized pop-up message. By monitoring the effect of displaying contact identifiers and encouraging user interaction, the system aims to improve user retention in the game. Additionally, the method includes ranking contacts based on their likelihood of leaving the game and displaying them in order of priority, as well as allowing users to send invitations or in-game gifts to their contacts to enhance engagement and potentially reduce user churn.
