System and method for distributing user interface device configurations

A computing device comprising:

• a memory storing computer instructions;
• and
• a controller coupled with the memory, wherein the controller responsive to executing the computer instructions performs operations comprising:
• providing to a first server a request for User Interface (UI) device configurations, wherein the first server is remote from the controller, wherein the controller is in communication with the first server over a network;
• providing to the first server configuration criteria associated with the request;
• and
• receiving configuration data associated with target UI device configurations from the first server, wherein the target UI device configurations are selected by the first server from among a plurality of UI device configurations that are compatible with the controller based on the provided configuration criteria.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer instructions which, responsive to being executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a request from a computing device for User Interface (UI) device configurations, wherein the request is received by a server that is remote from the computing device, wherein the server is in communication with the computing device over a network;
• selecting a group of UI device configurations from among the plurality of UI device configurations based on parameters associated with the computing device;
• determining if the computing device has a peripheral device operably connected thereto;
• selecting a first UI device configuration from among a plurality of UI device configurations stored in a memory when the computing device has the peripheral device operably connected thereto;
• selecting a second UI device configuration from among the plurality of UI device configurations when the computing device does not have the peripheral device operably connected thereto;
• and
• providing configuration data associated with one of the first or the second UI device configurations to the computing device.

A method comprising:

• providing User Interface (UI) device configurations from a computing device to a remote server, wherein the UI device configurations are based on at least one of a gaming environment, a gaming time, and a gaming group;
• providing a request for a target UI device configuration from the computing device to the remote server;
• receiving at the computing device provisioning information from the remote server, wherein the provisioning information is associated with the target UI device configuration;
• and
• provisioning at least one of the computing device and a peripheral device based on the provisioning information, wherein the peripheral device is operably coupled with the computing device.
