  • Publication number: 20230134645
    Abstract: Data specifying a first segment of a set of clients and first configuration parameters can be received. The first configuration parameters can specify operation of a first interface. The first interface can be integrated into an application. The first segment, including a first subset of the set of clients, can be determined. A request for initiation of operation can be received from the first interface. The first segment can be determined to include a first client. The first configuration parameters can be transmitted. The first configuration parameters can cause the first client to modify operation of the first interface in response to receiving the transmitted configuration parameters. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Publication number: 20220297002
    Abstract: Data characterizing two players enrolled in a tournament of an online video game is received. Each player is executing a separate instance of the online video game. The online video game is asynchronous between the two players. The data is received by a tournament server hosting the tournament and separate from a game server providing game data to clients associated with the two players. An instruction for synchronous initiation of gameplay between the two players is generated. The instruction is transmitted to the clients associated with the two players, the instruction causing synchronous initiation of the asynchronous games for the two players. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 10653966
    Abstract: Data specifying a first segment of a set of clients forming part of a peer-tournament system and first configuration parameters can be received. The first configuration parameters can specify operation of a first peer tournament interface. The first peer-tournament interface can be integrated into a third-party gaming application. The first peer-tournament interface can provide a peer-to-peer tournament for the third-party gaming application. The first segment, including a first subset of the set of clients forming part of the peer-tournament system, can be determined. A request for initiation of peer-tournament operation can be received from the first peer-tournament interface. The first segment can be determined to include a first client. The first configuration parameters can be transmitted. The first configuration parameters can cause the first client to modify operation of the first peer-tournament interface in response to receiving the transmitted configuration parameters.
