Abstract

A connected interleaved wagering system is disclosed, including an interactive controller configured to: communicate, to an application controller, first application telemetry, the first application telemetry associated with a first interactive application; communicate, to the application controller, second application telemetry, the second application telemetry associated with a second interactive application; receive a wager outcome; provide a display of the received wager outcome; a wager controller constructed to: receive a wager request; determine a wager outcome; and communicate, to the application controller, the wager outcome; and the application controller operatively connecting the interactive controller and the wager controller, the application controller constructed to: receive the first application telemetry; communicate, to the wager controller, the wager request; receive the wager outcome; communicate, to a session controller, updated user session information; receive, from the interactive controller, the second application telemetry; and communicate, to the interactive controller, the wager outcome.

Claims

1. A connected interleaved wagering system, comprising:

an interactive controller configured to;

communicate, to an application controller, first application telemetry, the first application telemetry associated with a first interactive application;

communicate, to the application controller, second application telemetry, the second application telemetry associated with a second interactive application;

receive, from the application controller, a wager outcome generated based on the first application telemetry; and

provide a display of the received wager outcome;

a wager controller constructed to;

receive, from the application controller, a wager request;

determine a wager outcome based on the wager request; and

communicate, to the application controller, the wager outcome; and

the application controller operatively connecting the interactive controller and the wager controller, the application controller constructed to;

receive, from the interactive controller, the first application telemetry;

communicate, to the wager controller, the wager request;

receive, from the wager controller, the wager outcome;

communicate, to a session controller, updated user session information based on the received wager outcome;

receive, from the interactive controller, the second application telemetry; and

communicate, to the interactive controller, the wager outcome.

2. The connected interleaved wagering system of claim 1,

wherein the interactive controller and the application controller are constructed from the same device, and

wherein the application controller is operatively connected to the wager controller using a communication link.

3. The connected interleaved wagering system of claim 1,

wherein the wager controller and the application controller are constructed from the same device, and

wherein the application controller is operatively connected to the interactive controller using a communication link.

4. The connected interleaved wagering system of claim 1, wherein the first interactive application is thematically distinct from the second interactive application.

5. The connected interleaved wagering system of claim 1, wherein the first application telemetry is communicated during a first session, and wherein the second application telemetry is communicated during a second session, wherein the first session and the second session occur at distinct times.

6. The connected interleaved wagering system of claim 1,

wherein the application controller is further constructed to:

communicate, to the session controller, a request for user session information;

receive, from the session controller, the user session information; and

communicate, to the interactive controller, the user session information, and

wherein the interactive controller is further configured to receive, from the application controller, the user session information.

7. The connected interleaved wagering system of claim 6,

wherein the interactive controller is further configured to communicate, to the application controller, a session initialization indication,

wherein the application controller is further constructed to receive, from the interactive controller, the session initialization indication, and

wherein the application controller communicates, to the session controller, the request for the user session information upon receiving the session initialization indication.

8. The connected interleaved wagering system of claim 1, wherein the application controller is further constructed to communicate, to the session controller, updated user session information based on the received wager outcome.

9. A connected interleaved wagering system, comprising:

a wager controller of the connected interleaved wagering system constructed to;

receive, from an application controller, a wager request;

determine a wager outcome based on the wager request; and

communicate, to the application controller, the wager outcome; and

the application controller of the connected interleaved wagering system operatively connecting the wager controller to an interactive controller using a communication link and constructed to;

receive, from the interactive controller, first application telemetry, the first application telemetry associated with a first interactive application;

communicate, to the wager controller, the wager request based on the first application telemetry;

receive, from the wager controller, the wager outcome;

communicate, to a session controller, updated user session information based on the received wager outcome;

receive, from the interactive controller, second application telemetry, the second application telemetry associated with a second interactive application; and

communicate, to the interactive controller, the wager outcome, wherein the interactive controller provides a display of the wager outcome.

10. The connected interleaved wagering system of claim 9, wherein the first interactive application is thematically distinct from the second interactive application.

11. The connected interleaved wagering system of claim 9, wherein the first application telemetry is communicated during a first session, and wherein the second application telemetry is communicated during a second session, wherein the first session and the second session occur at distinct times.

12. The connected interleaved wagering system of claim 9, wherein the application controller is further constructed to:

communicate, to the session controller, a request for user session information;

receive, from the session controller, the user session information; and

communicate, to the interactive controller, the user session information.

13. The connected interleaved wagering system of claim 12, wherein the application controller is further constructed to receive, from the interactive controller, the session initialization indication, and

wherein the application controller communicates, to the session controller, the request for the user session information upon receiving the session initialization indication.

14. The connected interleaved wagering system of claim 9, wherein the application controller is further constructed to communicate, to the session controller, updated user session information based on the received wager outcome.

15. A connected interleaved wagering system, comprising:

an interactive controller of the connected interleaved wagering system configured to;

communicate, to an application controller, first application telemetry, the first application telemetry associated with a first interactive application;

communicate, to the application controller, second application telemetry, the second application telemetry associated with a second interactive application;

receive, from the application controller, a wager outcome generated based on the first application telemetry; and

provide a display of the received wager outcome; and

the application controller of the connected interleaved wagering system operatively connecting the interactive controller to a wager controller and constructed to;
