A seat application management device for managing an application for offering an experience using a seat is provided. The seat application management device for managing a usage pattern of a seat provided with a sensor is configured to execute, in response to an operation of a user, an application execution process of providing an interface that allows the user to select at least one application from among a plurality of applications each of which utilizes data acquired from the sensor to offer an experience using the seat to a seated occupant, and executing the selected application, and a record presentation process of retrieving and presenting an execution result of an executed application.

Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media to automatically present suitable content for a particular locale. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes receiving gaming content associated with a game associated with a first client locale, the received gaming content including content that is restricted at a second client locale, receiving at least one content alternative, the at least one content alternative being an alternative to replace the received gaming content, generating a first localized rating for the received gaming content and a second localized rating for the at least one content alternative, and automatically providing the received gaming content or the at least one content alternative to a user device associated with the second client locale based on the first localized rating and the second localized rating.

A system and method for providing contextual recommendations in gaming media streams. One or more users request a gaming media stream broadcast corresponding to game play. A broadcast service obtains the gaming media stream that includes a gaming stream identifier and user identifier. The broadcast service can generate a set of recommendations based on at least one of social network information, historical information, and identification of events and items in the gaming media stream. The broadcast service provides the gaming media stream with one or more recommended items.

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a computing device having a controller to modify sound produced by a gaming application according to an otological profile of a user. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

In various examples, data representing user interactions with a plurality of games are analyzed to generate an aggregate playstyle profile for each game. The aggregate playstyle profiles of games participated in a by a user may be used to recommend one or more other games with a similar aggregate playstyle profile. In embodiments, an individual user's playstyle patterns may be used to determine games having similar playstyle profiles to eh user's playstyle patterns. In this way, game recommendations are more tailored to a particular type of gameplay, and not only to particular genres of games or games that are currently the most popular.

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.

The present invention is directed to a method and system for controlling the state of an interactive application and controlling delivery of the interactive application to one or more users. The system of the present invention is a system for delivering an interactive application to one or more users of a communications network and may comprise an interactive application adapted to the communications network; a user access device adapted to receive said interactive application; control means for establishing parameters under which said interactive application is rendered on said user access device; and mediation means for establishing terms for the interaction between the at least one user and other users and the communications network.

Embodiments include a system and method that facilitate detecting a request from a player to share a trigger clip of a video game, preparing the trigger clip for sharing and sharing the trigger clip in a message to a third party or to a social media destination. Additional embodiments include storing one or more trigger clips in a library where the trigger clips are available for searching and review by players and others. Advantages include making the trigger clips available for subsequent review, training, coaching and other purposes.

A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, an embodiment for detecting a map associated with a gaming session for a video game executing on a computing device associated with a first user, and obtaining a map equalizer profile associated with the map for the video game. Further embodiments can include determining a first avatar, associated with the first user, is located within a first environment of the map for the video game, and obtaining a first environment equalizer profile associated with the first environment. Additional embodiments can include providing first instructions to the computing device associated with the first user according to the map equalizer profile and the first environment equalizer profile. The first instructions indicate to the computing device to adjust audio output of the video game according to the map equalizer profile and the first environment equalizer profile. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

An approach to facilitating interface-based game-space contest generation is provided. A user interface may be provided to an administrator. The user interface may be configured to receive user inputs from the administrator that include one or more performance criteria to be associated with a contest to be provided in a game space, one or more awards to be distributed in association with the contest, and one or more qualifications to participate in the contest. A notification that relates to the contest may be provided, based on the user inputs, in the game space. Performance scores of users that participated in the contest may be determined based on the performance criteria and activities that are performed in the game space by the participating users. Automated distribution of the awards to individual ones of the participating users may be facilitated in accordance with the performance scores of the individual participating users.
