Abstract: An apparatus includes communication circuitry and processing circuitry. The communication circuitry is configured to receive, from a requesting device, a stream-recommendation request associated with a player profile, and the processing circuitry responsive to the stream-recommendation request to select, from a list of available game streams, one or more available game streams. The processing circuitry is configured to generate a stream recommendation indicating the selected one or more available game streams. The processing circuitry is configured to select the one or more available game streams in dependence on the player profile.

Abstract: An entertainment system includes circuitry configured to receive input signals from at least a first input device and a second input device, where each input signal corresponds to a control in one of the input devices, determine whether each input signal is included in a respective control subset allocated to the input device from which the input signal was received, determine if each input signal is an input signal to be utilised based on whether it is included in the respective control subset, treat input signals to be utilised from any of the input devices as input signals from the same single input device, and determine, according to a predetermined control scheme, a process to be executed based on the input signals to be utilised, and where the respective control subsets each comprise at least one control not found in the other control subsets, and the respective control subsets together comprise a full complement of controls for an input device.

Abstract: A method for protecting personal space in a multi-user virtual environment includes the steps of generating an avatar for a target user in the multi-user virtual environment, determining a relationship score between the target user and a peer user, creating a personal space around the avatar of the target user, wherein the dimensions of the personal space is computed based on the relationship score with the peer user, detecting the peer user's avatar crossing the boundary of the personal space, and applying rules to the peer user to restrict his/her interactions with the target user.
