Multi-device gaming interface

1. A system comprising:

a smartphone configured to:

present a user interface via which a user can select from a plurality of commands associated with a particular video game; and

in response to a selection of one of said plurality of commands, transmit said selected one of said plurality of commands to a game controller coupled to a game console associated with said video game, wherein:

said selected one of said plurality of commands causes said game controller to transmit a corresponding one or more simulated user inputs to said game console associated with said video game.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein parameter settings for a headset communicatively coupled to said smartphone are associated, in memory, with a particular audio clip from said video game.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein said smartphone is configured to automatically send said parameter settings to said headset in response to detection, by audio processing circuitry, of an occurrence of said particular audio clip in an audio signal output by said game console.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein said parameter settings determine one or both of:

a manner in which said headset processes game audio received by said headset from said game console; and

a manner in which said headset processes chat audio received by said headset from said game console.

5. The system of claim 2 , wherein said parameter settings determine a manner in which said headset processes microphone audio to be output by said headset to said game console.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein:

said transmitted selected one of said plurality of commands is routed to said game controller via a headset;

a link traversed by said transmitted selected one of said plurality of commands from said smartphone to said headset uses a first communication protocol; and

a link traversed by said transmitted selected one of said plurality of commands from said smartphone to said headset uses a second communication protocol.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein said game controller comprises a joystick and/or a directional pad.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein said smartphone is a headset configured to receive audio signals output by said game console.

9. A method comprising:

in a smartphone of a gaming peripheral network:

presenting a user interface via which a user can select from a plurality of commands associated with a particular video game; and

in response to a selection of one of said plurality of commands by a user of said smartphone, transmitting said selected one of said plurality of commands to a game controller coupled to a game console associated with said video game, wherein:

said selected one of said plurality of commands causes said game controller to transmit a corresponding one or more simulated user inputs to said game console associated with said video game.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein parameter settings for a headset communicatively coupled to said smartphone are associated, in memory, with a particular audio clip from said video game.

11. The method of claim 10 , comprising automatically sending said parameter settings to said headset in response to detection, by audio processing circuitry, of an occurrence of said particular audio clip in an audio signal output by said game console.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein said parameter settings determine one or both of:

a manner in which said headset processes game audio received by said headset from said game console; and

a manner in which said headset processes chat audio received by said headset from said game console.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein said parameter settings determine a manner in which said headset processes microphone audio to be output by said headset to said game console.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein said game controller comprises a joystick and/or a directional pad.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein said smartphone is a headset configured to receive audio signals output by said game console.
