Device for managing operations of accessories

摘要

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, an apparatus having a processor to detect a gaming accessory stimulation associated with a programmable layer of a number of programmable layers. The processor identifies a substitute gaming accessory stimulation of the programmable layer of the number of programmable layers of the gaming accessory. The substitute gaming accessory stimulation of the programmable layer is associated with the gaming accessory stimulation of the programmable layer of the number of programmable layers, according to a user profile of a number of user profiles associated with a user account. Other predetermined associations of stimulations of the gaming accessory with other substitute accessory stimulations are recorded in other user profiles of the number of user profiles, and the substitute gaming accessory stimulation is provided to a computing device to manage a gaming software application. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a controller; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the controller, facilitate performance of operations comprising:
determining a user profile of a plurality of user profiles associated with a gaming accessory comprising a plurality of programmable layers;detecting a gaming accessory stimulation signal of the gaming accessory associated with a programmable layer of the plurality of programmable layers; andidentifying a substitute accessory stimulation based on the gaming accessory stimulation by way of a predetermined association of the gaming accessory stimulation with the substitute accessory stimulation of the programmable layer of the plurality of programmable layers,wherein the predetermined association is recorded in the user profile of the plurality of user profiles,wherein other predetermined associations of stimulations of the gaming accessory with other substitute accessory stimulations are recorded in other user profiles of the plurality of user profiles, andwherein the substitute accessory stimulation of the programmable layer of the plurality of programmable layers, is provided to a gaming software application in place of the gaming accessory stimulation, responsive to the identifying of the substitute accessory stimulation.
