Abstract

Game spaces are configured for best computer functioning. A game space is defined by hardware, software, and network(s). Each game space in a home or business is characterized for gaming performance capabilities. Individual devices, peripherals (such wireless gaming controllers, steering wheels, and joysticks), and even networks are also characterized for gaming performance capabilities. Cloud-based services then determine hardware, software, and network configurations that, when combined as a best game space, yield the best computer functioning for computer gaming. The cloud-based services may even auto-install or auto-execute the configurations that yield the best computer functioning for computer gaming.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a hardware processor of an information handling system, a hardware inventory generated by a game space;
receiving a network survey generated by the game space;
identifying a gaming configuration that corresponds to the hardware inventory and to the network survey generated by the game space;
auto-installing the gaming configuration to improve a computer functioning of the game space for a computer gaming, wherein the auto-installing of the gaming configuration includes autonomously changing a basic input/output system of the information handling system;
determining, by the hardware processor, a first game space experience score based on gaming performance capabilities of the gaming configuration;
auto-adjusting hardware configurations in the information handling system;
based on the auto-adjusted hardware configuration, creating a second game space experience score, wherein the auto-adjusted hardware configurations and the second game space experience score provide a best computer functioning for the computer gaming;
storing the second game space experience score in a memory;
based on the second game space experience score, recommending a gaming application and a gaming service that is best suited to the gaming performance capabilities associated with the game space; and
retrieving, from a gaming database by the hardware processor, the gaming application that corresponds to the second game space experience score.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a software inventory generated by the game space.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying the gaming configuration that corresponds to a software inventory.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising scoring the hardware inventory.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising scoring a software inventory.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a radio signal by the game space.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a state generated by the game space.

8. An information handling system comprising:
a hardware processor; and
a memory device storing instructions that when executed by the processor perform operations, the operations including:
receiving a hardware inventory generated by a game space;
receiving a network survey generated by the game space;
identifying a gaming configuration that corresponds to the hardware inventory and to the network survey generated by the game space;
auto-installing the gaming configuration to improve a computer functioning of the game space for a computer gaming, wherein the auto-installing of the gaming configuration includes autonomously changing a basic input/output system of the information handling system;
determining, by the hardware processor, a first game space experience score based on gaming performance capabilities of the gaming configuration;
auto-adjusting hardware configurations in the information handling system;
based on the auto-adjusted hardware configuration, creating a second game space experience score, wherein the auto-adjusted hardware configurations and the second game space experience score provide a best computer functioning for the computer gaming;
storing the second game space experience score in a memory;
based on the second game space experience score, recommending a gaming application and a gaming service that is best suited to the gaming performance capabilities associated with the game space; and
retrieving, from a gaming database by the hardware processor, the gaming application that corresponds to the second game space experience score.

9. The information handling system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further include receiving a software inventory generated by the game space.

10. The information handling system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further include identifying the gaming configuration that corresponds to a software inventory.

11. The information handling system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further include scoring the hardware inventory.

12. The information handling system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further include scoring a software inventory.

13. The information handling system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further include receiving a radio signal by the game space.

14. The information handling system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further include receiving a state generated by the game space.

15. A memory device storing instructions that when executed caused a hardware processor to perform operations, the operations including:
receiving a hardware inventory generated by a game space;
receiving a network survey generated by the game space;
identifying a gaming configuration that corresponds to the hardware inventory and to the network survey generated by the game space;
auto-installing the gaming configuration to improve a computer functioning of the game space for a computer gaming, wherein the auto-installing of the gaming configuration includes autonomously changing a basic input/output system of an information handling system;
determining, by the hardware processor, a first game space experience score based on gaming performance capabilities of the gaming configuration;
auto-adjusting hardware configurations in the information handling system;
based on the auto-adjusted hardware configuration, creating a second game space experience score, wherein the auto-adjusted hardware configurations and the second game space experience score provide a best computer functioning for the computer gaming;
storing the second game space experience score in a memory;
based on the second game space experience score, recommending a gaming application and a gaming service that is best suited to the gaming performance capabilities associated with the game space; and
retrieving, from a gaming database, the gaming application that corresponds to the second game space experience score.

16. The memory device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further include receiving a software inventory generated by the game space.

17. The memory device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further include identifying the gaming configuration that corresponds to a software inventory.

18. The memory device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further include scoring the hardware inventory.

19. The memory device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further include scoring a software inventory.

20. The memory device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further include receiving a radio signal by the game space.
