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;
- transmitting, by the processor to the first device, first data related to the game for display via a main information window of the first device;
- and
- transmitting, by the processor to the second device, second data related to the game 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 related to the game 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;
- and
- transmitting second data related to the game to the second device for display via a sub-information window of the second device, wherein the sub-information window is selected based on a location and an orientation of the second device relative to the first device.
A gaming 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
- wherein 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, and
- wherein the sub-information window is configured to display data related to the game 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 that, in response to execution by a processor, cause the processor to perform or control performance of:
- identify a first device and a second device for interaction with a game;
- transmit, to the first device, first data related to the game for display via a main information window of the first device;
- and
- transmit, to the second device, second data related to the game 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 related to the game that is distinct from data displayed in the main information window of the first device.
