Abstract:
A method for providing remote control of a user's gameplay is provided. A live video feed of a first user's gameplay is presented to a remote second user. A request to transition control of the first user's gameplay to the second user is processed. Control of the first user's gameplay by the second user is initiated.
Abstract:
A method for generating a playable limited version of a video game is provided. A user's gameplay of a full version of the video game is recorded. A plurality of user-defined portions of the user's recorded gameplay is determined. For each user-defined portion, boundaries within a gameplay context of the video game based on the user-defined portion, and a playable portion of the video game is generated based on the defined boundaries. Each of the playable portions of the video game is arranged in a series to define the limited version of the video game; wherein the method is executed by a processor.
Abstract:
A method for sharing recorded gameplay to a social graph is provided. Video of a user's gameplay is recorded during an active state of a gameplay session. A command is received to initiate a sharing operation during the active state of the gameplay session. In response to receiving the command, a paused state of the gameplay session is entered and a sharing interface is presented. Input received via the sharing interface is processed to determine a user-defined selection of the recorded video. The user-defined selection of the recorded video is shared to a social graph of the user, and the active state of the gameplay session is resumed.
Abstract:
A method for generating a playable limited version of a video game is provided. A user's gameplay of a full version of the video game is recorded. The user's recorded gameplay is analyzed to determine a region of interest. Boundaries are defined within a gameplay context of the video game based on the determined region of interest. The limited version of the video game is generated based on the defined boundaries.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides methods and systems for warning users of mobile terminals during active phone calls or active data transfer that they approach certain geographical areas known as areas where active phone calls or active data transfer may be interrupted. In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining, by a processor, location information associated with a mobile terminal, determining, by the processor, that the mobile terminal approaches a particular geographical area, the particular geographical area being associated with previous dropped calls based at least in part on historical data, and, based on the determination, sending, by the processor, a warning signal to the mobile terminal for informing a user of the mobile terminal that the mobile terminal is about to enter the particular geographical area.

Abstract:
Methods enable creation of a game slice from a game. Plurality of games is provided for presentation on a display device. Each game is identified by an image. Selection activity is detected at the image of one of the games. In response to the selection, game code of the selected game is executed to enable game play of an unlocked game. The selected game is streamed to the display device. User interaction related to the game play is received. A recording of the game play is examined to identify portions of the game for generating a game slice, which are returned in a suggested list for selection. Game slice is generated for a selected portion from the list. A recording of the game play for the game slice is associated as a primary video segment. The game slice and the primary video segment are provided for sharing over a network.
Abstract:
Methods and system for processing a game slice of a game includes presenting a plurality of games on a display. Each game is associated with a plurality of game slices and each game slice is a pre-selected portion of the game. Passive selection activity is detected proximate to an initial image of a game. In response, a primary video segment of a game slice of the game is rendered. During the rendering of the primary video segment, active selection activity is detected for the primary video segment. The active selection activity causes executable code of the game slice to be loaded to allow playing of an unlocked subset of the game within the game slice. The plays of the unlocked subset of the game within the game slice are recorded to define secondary video segments. The secondary video segments are posted for sharing with users of a social network.
