Method and apparatus for managing a gaming application
First Claim
1. A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- detecting a difference between a first performance of a first device and a second performance of a second device, the difference being detected responsive to a request to initiate a video game by both the first device and the second device;
instructing the first device and the second device to adjust a first performance configuration and second performance configuration to mitigate the difference between the first performance and the second performance, wherein a mitigation of the difference between the first and second performances is based on the instructing of the first and second devices causing a degradation of one of the first or second performances; and
coordinating an exchange of first control information provided by the first device and second control information provided by the second device to enable a multiplayer session of the video game between the first device and the second device.

Abstract
An embodiment of the present disclosure includes, for example, a method for receiving from a first device a request to initiate a video game with a second device, determining a location of the first device, detecting a difference between first computing resources of the first device and second computing resources of the second device, instructing the first device, the second device, or both to adjust a resource configuration to mitigate an aspect of the difference between the first computing resources and the second computing resources, and coordinating an exchange of first control information provided by the first device and second control information provided by the second device to enable a multiplayer session of the video game between the first device and the second device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

9. A method, comprising:
-
providing, to first and second devices by a processing system including a processor, instructions to adjust a performance configuration to reduce a difference between a first performance parameter of the first device and a second performance parameter of a second device, wherein the difference is detected responsive to a request associated with a gaming session that is associated with the first and second devices; and coordinating, by the processing system, an exchange of first control information provided by the first device and second control information provided by the second device to enable the gaming session between the first device and the second device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A device, comprising:
-
a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; transmitting, to a first communication device, a stream associated with a gaming application responsive to a determination that the first communication device lacks a resource to locally initiate the gaming application; and receiving first control information and second control information, wherein the first control information is generated by the first communication device, wherein the second control information is generated by a second communication device to enable a multiplayer game between the first communication device and the second communication device, and wherein the first communication device, the second communication device, or both are instructed to change a resource configuration to mitigate a detected difference between a first gaming performance of the first communication device and a second gaming performance of the second communication device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
