  • Patent number: 9985999
    Abstract: Functionality is disclosed herein for changing an application between a single-user session and multi-user session. An application enters a multi-user session in response to additional users being detected and authorized. The application may enter the multi-user session in response to another user being detected as being in proximity to a first user. Data indicating that an application is to switch between the single-user session and the multi-user session may be provided by a network-based multi-user service or another application. The application may communicate and send and receive data via an API. During the multi-user session, the application uses one or more preferences associated with users of the multi-user session instead of using just the preferences of a first user. One or more displays associated with the application might also be updated to reflect the multi-user session.
