Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for enabling efficient control of a media application at a media electronic device by a user electronic device are provided. For example, a user control data request may be generated by a device application of the media electronic device based on a media control data request received from the media application, where the user control data request may be utilized by a controller application of the user electronic device to update the status of one or more components of the user electronic device and/or to communicate user control data back to the device application, whereby such user control data may be utilized by the device application to generate corresponding media control data for use by the media application (e.g., to control game play of a video game).
