Controller state management for client-server networking

A user device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory including instructions that, when executed with the processor, cause the user device to, at least:
• receive, at a user device, input from a user of the user device that relates to a first action to be performed by an avatar;
• provide, to a second electronic device, a first set of state data generated from the received input over a first communication channel;
• determine, based on the received input, a user intent that relates to a second action to be performed by the avatar that differs from the first action;
• generate, based on the user intent, a second set of state data that is different from the first set of state data and including less than all available state data;
• provide, to the second electronic device, a second set of state data generated from the received input over a second communication channel different from the first communication channel;
• and
• cause the avatar to perform a modified action that differs from the first action based on the first and second sets of state data.

A non-transitory computer-readable media collectively storing computer-executable instructions that upon execution cause one or more computing devices to collectively perform acts comprising:

• receiving, at a user device, input from a user of the user device that relates to a first action to be performed by an avatar;
• providing, to a second electronic device, a first set of state data generated from the received input over a first communication channel;
• determining, based on the received input, a user intent that relates to a second action to be performed by the avatar that differs from the first action;
• generating, based on the user intent, a second set of state data that is different from the first set of state data and including less than all available state data;
• providing, to the second electronic device, the second set of state data over a second communication channel different from the first communication channel;
• and
• causing the avatar to perform a modified action that differs from the first action based on the first and second sets of state data.
