20130079143 | EXPANDING THE GAMING SOCIAL NETWORK WITH UNRELATED PLAYERS - Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for expanding gaming social networks with players that do not have an existing social relationship with other players. One method includes an operation for determining one or more selection rules for a player of an online game, where each selection rule defines a criterion for selecting users from a plurality of users. The determined one or more selection rules are applied to the plurality of users resulting in a plurality of candidate game friends from the plurality of users. At least one of the candidate game friends does not have a social link with the player. In addition, the method includes an operation for presenting the plurality of candidate game friends. An operation to link, in the online game, the player with at least one of the plurality of candidate game friends is initiated, in response to an input from the player. The operation to link may be sending a request to befriend the candidate, or may be linking the candidate without the need for permission when an automatic acceptance is in place. | 03-28-2013 |

20110212783 | APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AN ONLINE GAME MANAGER - The APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR A ONLINE GAME MANAGER (“OGM”) transform user social graph and online behavioral pattern data inputs via OGM components into optimized server computational load reports. In one embodiment, the OGM may process a user server migration request for a user by obtaining user social graph data identifying co-users, and social activity pattern data associated with the user and the co-users. The OGM may also obtain server load indices of servers associated with the co-users, and server load analysis rules. By analyzing the server load indices using the server load analysis rules, the OGM may identify a subset of the servers as non-overloaded transfer candidate servers. The OGM may calculate transfer candidate server scores for the non-overloaded transfer candidate servers using the user social graph data and the social activity pattern data. Also, the OGM may select one of the non-overloaded transfer candidate servers for migrating the user based on the transfer candidate server scores, and migrate data associated with the user to the selected non-overloaded transfer candidate server. | 09-01-2011 |

20130130805 | EXPANDING THE GAMING SOCIAL NETWORK WITH UNRELATED PLAYERS - Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for expanding gaming social networks with players having no existing social relationships with other players. One method includes an operation for identifying first filters selected by a first user, the first filters identifying a first criteria for desired new friends. Another operation identifies second filters selected by a plurality of users in the network, where the second filters are entered by each user to identify second criteria for being added as a friend in the network. A plurality of candidates to be added as friends for the first user are determined, where each candidate conforms to the first criteria and where the first user conforms to the second criteria set by each candidate. Additionally, friendship requests are sent to one or more of the candidates or candidates are added as friends when the candidates have chosen automatic addition of friends. | 05-23-2013 |

20140317214 | SENDING OUT-OF-BAND INSTANT MESSAGES FROM A GAME NETWORKING SYSTEM - Techniques for sending out-of-band messages from a game networking system are described. For example, a machine identifies a friend of a user of a game networking system. The identifying of the friend may be based at least in part on a game instance of a game provided by the game networking system. The machine selects an out-of-band instant message from a plurality of messages generated by the game networking system. The one or more of the plurality of messages may be transmittable as different message types based on an activity level of the friend of the user with respect to the game networking system. The machine sends the out-of-band instant message to the friend of the user of the game networking system. The out-of-band instant message may include a request that the friend of the user perform an action with respect to the game executing on the game networking system. | 10-23-2014 |
