Abstract

Systems and methods presented herein include guest activity detection devices configured to detect activity of guests of an amusement park, and to send data indicative of the detected activity; an artificial intelligence entity management system configured to analyze the data indicative of the activity of the guests, and to modify properties of guest-specific artificial intelligence entities based at least in part on the analyzed data indicative of the activity of the guests; and park features disposed within a physical environment of the amusement park and configured to be instructed by the guest-specific artificial intelligence entities to modify a guest experience for the guests of the amusement park in accordance with the properties of the guest-specific artificial intelligence entities.

First claim

1 . A system for utilizing guest-specific artificial intelligence entities, comprising:
one or more guest activity detection devices configured to track activity and locations of a guest of an amusement park an artificial intelligence entity management system configured to deploy a guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park into a digital environment corresponding to a physical environment of the amusement park, to analyze data indicative of the tracked activity and locations of the guest of the amusement park, and to modify one or more properties of a guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park based at least in part on the analyzed data indicative of the tracked activity and locations of the guest of the amusement park; and one or more park features disposed within the physical environment of the amusement park and configured to be instructed by the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park to manifest the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park in the physical environment of the amusement park.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park is configured to move within the digital environment corresponding to the physical environment of the amusement park separate from movements of the guest within the physical environment of the amusement park.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park is configured to take actions within the digital environment corresponding to the physical environment of the amusement park separate from actions taken by the guest within the physical environment of the amusement park.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park is configured to take the actions within the digital environment corresponding to the physical environment of the amusement park in accordance with the modified one or more properties of a guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park.

5 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the actions taken by the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park within the digital environment corresponding to the physical environment of the amusement park directly cause the manifestation of the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park in the physical environment of the amusement park.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more park features comprise one or more displays configured to be instructed by the artificial intelligence entity management system to display the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more park features comprise a lighting effect system configured to be instructed by the artificial intelligence entity management system to generate light associated with the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more park features comprise one or more animated figures configured to be instructed by the artificial intelligence entity management system to simulate existence of the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more park features comprise a sound effect system configured to be instructed by the artificial intelligence entity management system to generate sound associated with the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more properties of the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park comprise an identity of the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park, one or more details about the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park, one or more personality traits of the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park, a mood of the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park, one or more preferences of the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park, or some combination thereof.

11 . A method for utilizing guest-specific artificial intelligence entities, comprising:
tracking, via one or more guest activity detection devices, data indicative of activity and locations of a guest of an amusement park; sending the data indicative of the activity and locations of the guest of the amusement park to at least one processor; deploying, via at least one processor, a guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park into a digital environment corresponding to a physical environment of the amusement park; analyzing, via the at least one processor, the data indicative of the activity and locations of the guest of the amusement park; modifying, via the at least one processor, one or more properties of a guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park based at least in part on the analyzed data indicative of the activity and locations of the guest of the amusement park; and instructing, via the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park, one or more park features disposed within the physical environment of the amusement park to manifest the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park in the physical environment of the amusement park.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park is configured to move within the digital environment corresponding to the physical environment of the amusement park separate from movements of the guest within the physical environment of the amusement park.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park is configured to take actions within the digital environment corresponding to the physical environment of the amusement park separate from actions taken by the guest within the physical environment of the amusement park.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park is configured to take the actions within the digital environment corresponding to the physical environment of the amusement park in accordance with the modified one or more properties of a guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park.

15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the actions taken by the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park within the digital environment corresponding to the physical environment of the amusement park directly cause the manifestation of the guest-specific artificial intelligence entity specific to the guest of the amusement park in the physical environment of the amusement park.

16 . The method of claim 11 ,
