Systems and methods for replenishment of virtual objects based on device orientation
First Claim
1. A computer system, comprising:
- a processor;
a memory device holding an instruction set executable on the processor to cause the computer systems to perform operations comprising;
while a user device on which a plurality of tiles is displayed is in a first physical orientation, receiving a selection of at least one target tile for removal from display, the first physical orientation being one of a landscape orientation and a portrait orientation;
detecting a change of the user device to a second physical orientation, the second physical orientation being a different one of the landscape orientation and the portrait orientation than the first physical orientation; and
while in the second physical orientation;
identifying at least one proximate tile placed above a tile position of the at least one removed target tile due to the change to the second physical orientation;
shifting the at least one proximate tile downward towards the tile position of the at least one removed target tile;
determining a respective replacement tile for each removed target tile based at least in part on;
the second physical orientation, a current rate of progress of a player, and a reference rate of progress; and
based on the determining of the respective replacement tiles, inserting a replacement tile in an open tile position resulting from shifting the at least one proximate tile.

Abstract
A system, a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions, and a computer-implemented method are described herein for a System Tuner for updating user interfaces. The System Tuner receives a selection of at least one target tile for removal from display of a plurality tile according to a first physical orientation. The System Tuner detects a change to a second physical orientation. While in the second physical orientation, the System Tuner identifies a proximate tile(s) placed above a tile position of the at least one removed target tile due to the change to the second physical orientation. The System Tuner shifts the proximate tile(s) downward towards the tile position of the at least one removed target tile. The System Tuner inserts a replacement tile in an open tile position resulting from shifting the at least one proximate tile.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:
-
while a user device on which a plurality of tiles is displayed is in a first physical orientation, receiving a selection of at least one target tile for removal from display, the first physical orientation being one of a landscape orientation and a portrait orientation; detecting a change of the user device to a second physical orientation, the second physical orientation being a different one of the landscape orientation and the portrait orientation than the first physical orientation; and while in the second physical orientation; identifying at least one proximate tile placed above a tile position of the at least one removed target tile due to the change to the second physical orientation; shifting the at least one proximate tile downward towards the tile position of the at least one removed target tile; determining a respective replacement tile for each removed target tile based at least in part on;
the second physical orientation, a current rate of progress of a player, and a reference rate of progress; andbased on the determining of the respective replacement tiles, inserting a replacement tile in an open tile position resulting from shifting the at least one proximate tile. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
while a user device on which a plurality of tiles is displayed is in a first physical orientation, receiving a selection of at least one target tile for removal from display, the first physical orientation being one of a landscape orientation and a portrait orientation; detecting a change of the user device to a second physical orientation, the second physical orientation being a different one of the landscape orientation and the portrait orientation than the first physical orientation; and while in the second physical orientation; identifying at least one proximate tile placed above a tile position of the at least one removed target tile due to the change to the second physical orientation; shifting the at least one proximate tile downward towards the tile position of the at least one removed target tile; determining a respective replacement tile for each removed target tile based at least in part on;
the second physical orientation, a current rate of progress of a player, and a reference rate of progress; andbased on the determining of the respective replacement tiles, inserting a replacement tile in an open tile position resulting from shifting the at least one proximate tile. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
