CLOViZ announced that its core technology for the poker learning app POKER Q'z has been registered as a patent on July 30, 2026. The patent covers a system that presents real-game poker scenarios as practice questions and provides AI-driven explanations for the correct moves, including equity and hand range visualization.
The patent, registered as No. 7901932, covers a method that turns real poker situations into drill-style problems and explains the reasoning behind each correct play. It includes three main components: presenting the user's hand against the correct move, visualizing win probability and hand ranges, and an AI question function that answers 'why' on the spot.
CLOViZ, based in Setagaya, Tokyo, developed POKER Q'z with a focus on helping players understand strategy rather than memorizing answers. The company notes that poker differs from shogi and go as an incomplete information game, making self-study difficult for beginners.
The patent was filed on September 26, 2025, and approved on June 10, 2026. CLOViZ obtained it as part of a Tokyo Metropolitan Government intellectual property strategy support program.
