Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided. Some embodiments include receiving, at a first server, a command that includes a first instruction for execution by the first server and a second instruction for execution by a second server, the first instruction comprising an instruction to update setting information associated with a client, the setting information including information representing a first value for a setting associated with the client, the second instruction comprising an instruction to update an appearance of a virtual object. The setting information is updated, the updating including storing information representing a second value for the setting. An output request is received at the first server. In response to the output request, output data is generated using current setting information associated with the client, the current setting information including the information representing the second value for the setting. The output data is output to an output device.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving, at a first server, a command that includes a first instruction for execution by the first server and a second instruction for execution by a second server, the first instruction comprising an instruction to update setting information associated with a client, the setting information including information representing a first value for a setting associated with the client, the second instruction comprising an instruction to update an appearance of a virtual object;

updating the setting information in accordance with the first instruction, wherein the updating the setting information includes storing information representing a second value for the setting, the second value different from the first value;

receiving, at the first server, an output request;

generating, in response to the output request, output data using current setting information associated with the client, the current setting information including the information representing the second value for the setting; and

outputting the output data to an output device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first instruction comprises an instruction to reset the setting to a predetermined default value.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first instruction comprises an instruction to set the second value for the setting.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the setting information includes the information representing the first value for the setting and further includes information representing a third value for a second setting associated with the client, and

wherein the current setting information includes the information representing the second value for the setting and further includes the information representing the third value for the second setting.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the updating the setting information includes deleting the information representing the first value for the setting.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the updating the setting information includes storing the first instruction in a log associated with the client.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, after updating the setting information in accordance with the first instruction and before receiving the output request, a second command that includes a third instruction for execution by the first server and a fourth instruction for execution by the second server, the third instruction comprising an instruction to update setting information associated with a second client, the second client different from the client, the fourth instruction comprising an instruction to update the appearance of the virtual object; and

updating the setting information associated with the second client in accordance with the third instruction.

8. A method comprising:

receiving, at a first server, an identifier and a request to obtain setting information associated with the identifier and send the setting information to a second server;

using the identifier to obtain the setting information; and

sending, from the first server to the second server, the setting information and a command to apply the setting information to an image generated by the second server such that an appearance of a virtual object is updated according to the setting information.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

associating, before receiving the identifier and the request, a unique string of characters with the setting information, wherein the identifier matches the unique string of characters.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the associating the unique string of characters with the setting information comprises:

sending, from the first server to a third server, the setting information and a request to generate the unique string of characters and store the unique string of characters and the setting information in a data store such that the unique string of characters is associated with the setting information in the data store.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the identifier comprises a string of characters generated based on one or more user inputs received at a client.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the using the identifier to obtain the setting information comprises:

sending, from the first server to a third server, the identifier and a request for the setting information associated with the identifier; and

receiving, at the first server from the third server, the setting information.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein the using the identifier to obtain the setting information comprises:

identifying a string of characters that matches the identifier; and

retrieving the setting information associated with the string of characters.

14. A method comprising:

receiving, at a computing system from a client, user input information, the user input information based on one or more user inputs received at the client;

generating a command based on the user input information, the command including a first instruction for execution by a first server and a second instruction for execution by a second server, the first instruction comprising an instruction to update setting information associated with the client, the second instruction comprising an instruction to update an appearance of a virtual object; and

sending, from the computing system to the first server and to the second server, the command.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

receiving, at the computing system from a browser on the client, a request to access a resource; and

sending, from the computing system to the client, the resource, the resource including one or more elements enabling user interaction when the resource is displayed in the browser,

wherein the receiving the user input information comprises receiving, at the computing system from the browser on the client, the user input information after sending the resource.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein the user input information comprises information sent to the computing system in response to a selection of an interface element presented in a graphical user interface on a display of the client.

17. The method of claim 14, wherein the first instruction comprises an instruction to change multiple setting values associated with the client, and

wherein the second instruction comprises an instruction to modify multiple features of the virtual object.

18. The method of claim 14, wherein the first instruction comprises an instruction to set a specified value for a specified setting associated with the client, and

wherein the second instruction comprises an instruction to apply a specified change to a specified feature of the virtual object.

19. The method of claim 14, wherein the instruction to update the setting information corresponds to the instruction to update the appearance of the virtual object.

20. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

receiving, at the computing system from a second client, second user input information, the second client different from the client, the second user input information based on one or more user inputs received at the second client;

generating a second command based on the second user input information, the second command including a third instruction for execution by the first server and a fourth instruction for execution by the second server, the third instruction comprising an instruction to update setting information associated with the second client, the fourth instruction comprising an instruction to update the appearance of the virtual object; and

sending, from the computing system to the first server and to the second server, the second command.
