Abstract

Systems and methods for designing a virtual platform based on user inputs. The system includes a memory that stores instructions for executing processes for designing a virtual platform based on user inputs. The system also includes a processor configured to execute the instructions. The instructions cause the processor to: receive, via an input device, a plurality of user inputs; generate the virtual platform, wherein successful inputs of the virtual platform are based on the plurality of user inputs; and store the virtual platform on a storage device such that a user may utilize the virtual platform on a computing device.

Claims

a memory that stores instructions for executing processes for designing a virtual platform based on user inputs; and

a processor configured to execute the instructions, wherein the instructions cause the processor to;

receive, via an input device, a plurality of user inputs;

in response to receiving the plurality of user inputs, generate the virtual platform having one or more successful inputs, wherein the one or more successful inputs of the virtual platform are based on the plurality of user inputs; and

store the virtual platform on a storage device such that a user may utilize the virtual platform on a computing device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the successful inputs match an entire sequence of the plurality of user inputs.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to extract common features from the plurality of user inputs over a number of iterations of receiving the plurality of user inputs via the input device.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the input device comprises a plurality of input devices of different types, and the instructions further cause the processor to:

cluster the plurality of user inputs based on the type of input device; and

generate the virtual platform tailored for each type of input device based on the clustered plurality of user inputs.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein receiving the plurality of user, inputs comprises receiving the plurality of user inputs from a plurality of users, and the instructions further cause the processor to:

aggregate the plurality of user inputs from the plurality of users;

extract common features from the aggregated user inputs by clustering the aggregated plurality of inputs to identify the common features; and

determine the successful inputs for the virtual platform based on the extracted common features.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein receiving the plurality of user inputs comprises receiving the plurality of user inputs from a plurality of users, and the instructions further cause the processor to:

separate the plurality of users into separate classes;

aggregate the plurality of inputs from each class of users separately;

extract common features from the aggregated user inputs for each class by clustering the aggregated plurality of inputs to identify the common features; and

determine the successful inputs for the virtual platform for each class of users.

7. The system of claim 3, wherein extracting the common features comprises clustering the plurality of inputs to identify the common features.

8. The system of claim 3, wherein the successful inputs are based on the common features.

aggregating the plurality of user inputs from the plurality of users;

extracting common features from the aggregated user inputs by clustering the aggregated plurality of inputs to identify the common features; and

determining the successful inputs for the virtual platform based on the extracted common features.

14. The method of claim 9, wherein receiving the plurality of user inputs comprises receiving the plurality of user inputs from a plurality of users, and the method further comprises:

separating the plurality of users into separate classes;

aggregating the plurality of inputs from each class of users separately;

extracting common features from the aggregated user inputs for each class by clustering the aggregated plurality of inputs to identify the common features; and
