Smart gamepad

A game controller, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing user gaming account data and a stored combination key;
• and
• a hardware processor configured to:
• detect a first host game console,
• in response to detecting the first host game console, determine that the game controller is capable of being connected with a plurality of game consoles that includes the first host game console,
• in response to determining that the game controller is capable of being connected with the plurality of game consoles that includes the first host game console, connect with the first host game console and over the wireless communications network,
• receive a first login code at a game controller for the user gaming account from a gaming server via the first host game console and over the wireless communications network, the first login code being a hexadecimal number, binary code, proprietary code, hash value, or identification code,
• determine that the first login code from the gaming server is capable of being encrypted,
• in response to determining that the first login code is capable of being encrypted, encrypt the first login code with the stored combination key in the non-transitory computer-readable medium of the game controller without any input from a user,
• transmit the encrypted first login code to the first host game console to determine whether the stored combination key within the encrypted first login code matches a previously stored combination key from an initial setup of the game controller with the gaming server, and
• transmit the user gaming account data to the first host game console based on a verification that the stored combination key within the encrypted first login code matches the previously stored combination key.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a plurality of instructions that cause a processor to:

• detect, using a game controller, a first host game console,
• in response to detecting the first host game console, determine, using the game controller, that the game controller is capable of being connected with a plurality of game consoles that includes the first host game console;
• in response to determining that the game controller is capable of being connected with the plurality of game consoles that includes the first host game console, connect, using the game controller, with the first host game console over a communications network;
• receive, using the game controller, a first login code for the user gaming account from a gaming server via the first host game console and over the wireless communications network, the first login code being a hexadecimal number, binary code, proprietary code, hash value, or identification code;
• determine, using the game controller, that the first login code from the gaming server is capable of being encrypted;
• in response to determining that the first login code is capable of being encrypted, encrypt, using the game controller, the first login code with a combination key stored in a storage device of the game controller without any input from a user;
• transmit, using the game controller, the encrypted first login code to the first host game console over the wireless communications network to determine whether the combination key within the encrypted first login code matches a previously stored combination key from an initial setup of the game controller with the gaming server, the combination key being associated with the user gaming account;
• and
• transmit, using the game controller, user gaming account data to the first host game console over the wireless communications network based on a verification that the combination key within the encrypted first login code matches the previously stored combination key.
