Techniques for managing notifications are described. In an example, a computing device presents content in an application window based on an execution of an application. Notification data is received by a computing device. Based on a context associated with the computing device, such as whether the application window is the foreground and whether the notification data is associated with the application or such as the operational mode of the computing device, a determination is made whether to present a corresponding notification in-context within the application window or in a pop-up window. Otherwise, the notification is added to a notification list and can be summarized in a notification summary.

Embodiments relate to gameplay using mobile devices. Embodiments include receiving, by a first device, input from a player initiating a targeted action. Embodiments include determining, by the first device, an orientation of the first device. Embodiments include determining, by the first device, a location of at least a second device based at least on a message received from the second device. Embodiments include identifying, by the first device, that a target of the targeted action is associated with the second device based on the orientation of the first device and the location of the second device. Embodiments include transmitting, by the first device, an indication of the targeted action to the second device.

An image processing unit 118 generates a distribution image including a game image. A distribution processing unit 126 distributes the distribution image to one or more of information processing terminals through a shared server. A participation processing unit 128 accepts play requests of viewing users operating the information processing terminals and approves a game play of one of the viewing users who has made a request for a play. An application execution unit 110 processes a game using operation information transmitted from the information processing terminal operated by the viewing user the game play of which has been approved.

A system in which players participate as characters in a virtual game world via game clients executing on client devices and communicate via an in-game communications channel. A messaging service is provided that enables active players to communicate with non-players via messaging platform(s). A player may send a message to another person via an in-game communications channel; upon detecting that the person is not active in the game, the service maps the person's identity to one or more messaging platform endpoints, tags the source of the message with the sending player's in-game identity, and forwards the message to the person via the messaging platform(s). The person may respond to the message via the messaging platform(s). The identities of the active player may be obfuscated so that a player's personal contact information is not exposed.

Systems and methods that utilizes an application running on a mobile device to collect game data regarding a player's experience at an electronic gaming machine, wherein the application subsequently utilizes such collected game data is inform the player of their prior experiences at different EGMs.

A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, a processor that facilitates a performance of operations. The operations may include obtaining an identification of an action to monitor during a gameplay associated with a game, storing a representation of a sliding window of the gameplay in a first storage medium, monitoring, by the system, for the identification of the action during the gameplay, detecting the identification of the action during the gameplay responsive to the monitoring, and responsive to the detecting, storing the representation of the sliding window of the gameplay in a second storage medium that is different from the first storage medium. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device that has a memory to store instructions and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein responsive to executing the instructions, the processor performs operations that include defining a group of perspectives around an avatar controlled by a player of a video game, detecting a current trigger during the video game, recording a trigger clip of game content for each perspective in the group of perspectives resulting in a group of trigger clips, wherein each trigger clip of the group of trigger clips is a portion of game content that includes the current trigger from each perspective of the group of perspectives, and providing the group of trigger clips over a communication network to a gaming device utilized by the player. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
