Abstract
A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system having a processor that performs operations including receiving from a computer accessory a control signal for controlling a software application, determining a result that would arise if the control signal is supplied to the software application, and generating an updated control signal to produce a desired result responsive to detecting that the result is undesirable. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- generating, by a processing system comprising a processor, a control signal from a first input device stimulation for controlling a video game according to a first setting associated with the control signal;
- generating, by the processing system, a predicted gaming result corresponding to an application of the control signal to the video game;
- determining, by the processing system, whether the predicted gaming result that is received from the first device is not a desired gaming result;
- responsive to determining that the predicted gaming result is not the desired gaming result, determining, by the processing system, a new setting associated with the control signal that will produce the desired gaming result according to a prior history of control signal settings and corresponding gaming results;
- generating, by the processing system, an updated control signal according to the new setting of the control signal;
- and
- providing, by the processing system, the updated control signal to the video game.
A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- transmitting, to a first device, a control signal associated with a gaming accessory to control a video game that is executing a video game;
- receiving, from the first device, a first gaming result that would arise if the control signal were supplied to the video game;
- determining whether the first gaming result that is received from the first device is not a desired gaming result;
- and
- generating an updated control signal according to a new setting of the control signal for producing the desired gaming result at the video game according to prior history of control signal settings and corresponding gaming results responsive to determining that the first gaming result is not the desired gaming result.
A system, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- transmitting, to a first device, a control signal associated with a gaming accessory to control a video game that is executing a video game;
- determining whether a first gaming result that would arise if the control signal were supplied to the video game is not a desired gaming result;
- and
- generating an updated control signal according to a new setting of the control signal for producing the desired gaming result at the video game according to prior history of control signal settings and corresponding gaming results responsive to determining that the first gaming result is not the desired gaming result.
