Abstract
Technologies and implementations for providing an online game experience using multiple devices are generally disclosed including methods and devices for, in some examples, receiving first data from a first device, the received first data being associated with a first interaction with the online game, receiving a request to utilize a second device and responsive to the received request, transmitting second data to the second device, the second data being associated with a second interaction with the online game, the second interaction related to first interaction but being different from the first interaction.
Claims19
A processor-implemented method to provide a gaming experience, the method comprising:
- identifying, by a processor, a first device and a second device for interaction with a game;
- sending, by the processor to the first device, first data, related to the game, for display via a main information window of the first device;
- determining, by the processor, a distance between the first device and the second device;
- and
- in response to determining that the distance between the first device and the second device is greater than a specific distance:
- customizing, by the processor, second data, related to the game, to include an indication of a proximity error in the second data;
- and
- sending, by the processor to the second device, the customized second data for display via a sub-information window of the second device, wherein the sub-information window of the second device is configured to display data that is distinct from data displayed in the main information window of the first device.
A processor-implemented method to provide a gaming experience, wherein the processor-implemented method is performed by a game host, the processor-implemented method comprising:
- identifying a first device and a second device for interaction with a game;
- transmitting first data, related to the game, to the first device, for display via a main information window of the first device;
- determining a location and an orientation of the second device relative to the first device;
- and
- identifying, based on the location and the orientation of the second device relative to the first device, second data related to the game;
- and
- transmitting the second data to the second device for display via a sub-information window of the second device, wherein the sub-information window is configured to display data that is distinct from data displayed in the main information window of the first device.
A game system, comprising:
- a first device that includes a main information window;
- and
- a second device that includes a sub-information window, wherein:
- the first device is operable to obtain, from a game host, first data, related to a game, for display via the main information window of the first device, and
- the second device is operable to obtain, from the game host, second data, related to the game, for display via the sub-information window of the second device,
- the second data includes proximity error data that is indicative of a distance between the first device and the second device being greater than a specific distance, and
- the sub-information window is configured to display data that is distinct from data displayed on the main information window of the first device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that includes computer executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the computer executable instructions, in response to execution by a processor, cause the processor to perform or control performance of operations that comprise:
- identify a first device and a second device for interaction with a game;
- end, to the first device, first data, related to the game, for display via a main information window of the first device;
- determine a distance between the first device and the second distance;
- and
- in response to a determination that the distance between the first device and the second device is greater than a specific distance:
- customize second data, related to the game, to include of an indication of a proximity error in the second data;
- and
- end, to the second device, the customized second data for display via a sub-information window of the second device, wherein the sub-information window of the second device is configured to display data that is distinct from data displayed in the main information window of the first device.
