Abstract: Methods and systems for assigning a data center in a second geo location for migrating data in anticipation of receiving a request from a user account from the second geo location includes receiving an indication of a change in geo location of a user from a first geo location to the second geo location. Save data for the user is identified at the first geo location. The save data is analyzed to determine usage trend of the user for the plurality of games. A portion of the save data is identified, based on the usage trend, and transmitted to a second data center in the second geo location in anticipation of the user's likely access of the save data at the second geo location. The save data is made available to game logic of one or more games, when executed on a cloud gaming system, so as to provide current state of game play of the respective one or more games for rendering on a client device of the user used to access the game.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a flexible architecture for video gaming applications. In some embodiments, the flexible architecture is platform agnostic and provides a continuous visual experience for players across different platforms while engaging them at different levels of play. The architecture provides user interfaces that facilitate access to video gaming applications in various ways that may include: via social networks or sites; via wall posts or via an online social networking service that enables its users to send and read text-based posts; via mobile devices (iOS, Android, or Windows-based smart phones); or via dedicated game consoles. In some embodiments, the flexible architecture provides multiple levels of play options, which may include a peer-to-peer competitive challenge level for “core” players, a “casual” play level for play with friends with whom a player shares an affinity, for example, in a social network; or a “spectator” mode that permits non-players in a network to assist friends. In some embodiments, feed-based triggers may allow for greater rewards to players and ease of discovering games.

Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure relates to a system configured to provide a virtual space, in accordance with one or more implementations. Users of virtual spaces may encounter barriers in a game. During these barriers, users may receive and/or provide assistance to other affiliation members. One aspect of the disclosure relates to allowing affiliations or other groups to utilize in-game items to assist other players in game progress in an online game. This may incent positive player actions towards affiliation members, may enhance engagement between affiliation members, may provide an incentive for users to join an affiliation, and/or have other results. These results may ultimately contribute to enhanced retention, enhanced monetization, enhanced user satisfaction, and/or other enhancements.

Abstract: A online gaming system may provide for a videographer mode in online gaming. The online gaming system may initiate an instance of an online game for players playing the online game in a player mode, establish connections to respective game clients of the players and to a videographer client of a computing device of a videographer, the videographer being a user participating in the online game in a videographer mode differing from the player mode, the videographer mode including capturing gameplay at least one of the players. Then, the online game system may receive player input data from at least one of the players, update a game state of the instance based on the player input data, and output respective game client data to the respective game clients and videographer client data the videographer client.

Abstract: A system comprising audio processing circuitry is provided. The audio processing circuitry is operable to receive audio signals. The audio processing circuitry is operable to process the audio signals to detect strength of a chat component of the audio signals and strength of a game component of the audio signals. The audio processing circuitry is operable to automatically control a volume setting based on one or both of: the detected strength of the chat component, and the detected strength of the game component. The combined-game-and-chat audio signals may comprise a left channel signal and a right channel signal. The processing of the combined-game-and-chat audio signals may comprise measuring strength of a vocal-band signal component that is common to the left channel signal and the right channel signal.

Abstract: A message generation unit generates a notification message. A setting unit registers setting information determining whether or not a camera image is to be included in a distribution image. A distribution processing unit distributes a distribution image. When the camera image is set to be included in the distribution image, an image processing unit generates the distribution image including a region in which the notification message is superimposed. When the camera image is set not to be included in the distribution image, the image processing unit generates the distribution image not including the region in which the notification message is superimposed.
