Gaming interface techniques for media centers

摘要

A media center may include an interface to receive video game information including first and second tags from a communication link. The media center may also include a module to separate the video game information based on the first and second tags. A first modulator may modulate first video game information corresponding to the first tag at a first frequency on a media communication link, and a second modulator may modulate second video game information corresponding to the second tag at a second frequency on the media communication link.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
providing at least one media center to provide electronic game data for one game to at least two game players of said game who play the game at the same time in concert; separating the game data so that separate game images may be provided for each of the game players who play the same game and such that the game images for each of the players may be different in at least some respects; and receiving, wireless game control commands from said players using separate wireless controllers and identifying which commands originate with each of said game players by decoding tags appended to said wireless game control commands so that a command from one player is distinguished by said media player from a game control command received from the other player using said tags appended to said wireless game control commands.
