Regardless of the manner the devices are coupled to each other, for various embodiments, inviter device 200, LM provider server 110, relay server 120 and recipient device 150 are equipped to operate in accordance with the at least one LM protocol, if needed.

  • the reservation ID provides clients a facility to designate a location to meet "within" the Central Game Server.
  • the clients provide the reservation LD to the central game server when a connection is established. If that reservation LD is currently in use, the Central Game Server 130 will provide all the necessary routing information for the client to navigate to it. If the reservation ID is not currently in use, the central game server will create a new instance of that game and then provide the routing information. This allows the clients to connect in any order and still arrive at the same "location.”
  • the reservation ID can be queried from the central game server during game play, such that an invitation can be composed while the game is already in progress. Again, the reservation LD is generated in a manner that ensures only participants in the LM conversation should have access to the game instance.
  • updated game data is then sent to the users of the game session in block 850. Processing loops back to decision block 830 until a determination has been made in decision block 830 that the game session is no longer active. At which point, the game session may end in block 855.
