Warner Bros. Patents Method for Inter-Vehicle Gaming

Passengers will be able to enjoy multiplayer games while traveling.

Warner Bros. is working on implementing a method for providing inter-vehicle games for passengers. According to the patent filing, the company has been developing the system for over 2 years now.

The method is meant to connect users from two or more vehicles and allow them to play multiplayer games together. It will store user profile data and match players with the same interests, a common destination, or "prior social connections".

"The method includes maintaining data structures of media program data, user profile data and vehicle profile data, receiving user and vehicle state information, identifying a group of users based on contemporaneous presence in two or more vehicles or common participation in a game or other group experience for related trips at different times, and selecting, configuring or creating media program for play at media players."

Warner Bros. is not the only company looking into car gaming. Last month, BMW teamed up with AirConsole aiming to bring a variety of gaming experiences to its vehicles. Tesla also allows users to play games in its electric cars, so Warner Bros. will have to face quite a competition.
