System and method for distributing user interface device configurations

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a system including a processor, peripheral device settings over a network from a first computing device, wherein the peripheral device settings are configured for use by a peripheral device for playing a video game, the peripheral device being a portable device that is separate from and configured for communication with the first computing device via at least one of a hardwire connection or a wireless connection;

storing the peripheral device settings in a memory that is accessible to the system, wherein the memory is remote from the first computing device;

receiving, by the system, a request over the network from a second computing device for the peripheral device settings, wherein the second computing device is remote from the system and the memory; and

providing, by the system, the peripheral device settings to the second computing device responsive to the request to enable a user to play the video game at the second computing device utilizing the peripheral device settings.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the peripheral device is a keyboard, and wherein the peripheral device settings include macros corresponding to keystrokes on the keyboard.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the peripheral device is a navigation device, and wherein the peripheral device settings include a speed associated with the navigation device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second computing devices are remote from each other, and wherein the video game is hosted by a host server over the network.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the peripheral device settings comprise display settings.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the display settings include at least one of color, sharpness or resolution associated with a presentation of the video game.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the peripheral device settings comprise keyboard settings, and wherein the keyboard settings include at least one of key binding or macros associated with the playing of the video game.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the peripheral device settings comprise audio settings, and wherein the audio settings include at least one of balance, stereo or noise reduction.

9. A method comprising:

receiving, by a system including a processor, peripheral device settings over a network, wherein the peripheral device settings are configured for use by a peripheral device during playing of a video game;

storing the peripheral device settings in a memory that is accessible to the system;

receiving, by the system, a request over the network from a computing device for the peripheral device settings, wherein the computing device is remote from the system and the memory; and

providing, by the system, the peripheral device settings to the computing device responsive to the request to enable a user to play the video game at the computing device utilizing the peripheral device settings, the peripheral device being a portable device that is separate from and configured for communication with the computing device via at least one of a hardwire connection or a wireless connection.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the peripheral device settings are received from another computing device that is different from the computing device that provides the request.

11. The method of claim 10 , comprising:

receiving, by the system, a software driver from the other computing device over the network; and

storing the software driver in the memory.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the peripheral device settings comprise navigation device settings.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the peripheral device settings comprise keyboard settings.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the peripheral device settings comprise display settings.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the peripheral device settings comprise audio settings.

16. The method of claim 9 , comprising providing, by the system, a software driver over the network to the computing device, wherein the software driver is configured to enable use of the peripheral device settings at the computing device.

17. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a computing device, a request over a network to a server for peripheral device settings for playing a video game, wherein the peripheral device settings are stored in a memory that is accessible by the server;

receiving, by the computing device, the peripheral device settings over the network from the server responsive to the request;

configuring, by the computing device, a peripheral device with the peripheral device settings; and

enabling a user to play the video game at the computing device utilizing the peripheral device with the peripheral device settings when the peripheral device is in communication with the computing device, the peripheral device being a portable device that is separate from and configured for communication with the computing device via at least one of a hardwire connection or a wireless connection.

18. The method of claim of claim 17 , comprising:

providing, by the computing device, the peripheral device settings over the network to the server to cause the server to store the peripheral device settings in the memory, wherein the peripheral device settings include at least one of audio settings, display settings, navigation device settings or a software driver associated with the peripheral device.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the peripheral device settings are received by the server over the network from another computing device to cause the server to store the peripheral device settings in the memory, wherein the peripheral device settings include at least one of audio settings, display settings, navigation device settings or a software driver associated with the peripheral device.

20. The method of claim 17 , wherein the peripheral device is at least one of a mouse, a keyboard, an audio device or a display device.
