Patent number: 11724205Abstract: A snapshot of a game may be generated by a client. At some point, a suspension request is delivered to a computer system. Once the suspension request is received, the computer system will suspend the emulated title. The computer system generates a snapshot of the game by recording the current state of all devices being emulated. The snapshot is then delivered to the client. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Inventors: Jacob P. Stine, Brian Michael Christopher Watson, Victor Octav Suba Miura, Nicholas J. Cardell

Patent number: 11413550Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for using and generating a mini-game from a game. One example method includes detecting an instruction to generate the mini-game for the game. The instruction is configured for a starting location for the mini-game from the game. An end location for the mini-game is determined. The mini-game includes an event of the game that occurs between the starting location and the end location of the mini-game. A snapshot is generated for the mini-game to enable play of the mini-game at the starting location. The starting location of the mini-game is selectable to be at a point that is after a start of the game.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Brian Michael Christopher Watson, Victor Octav Suba Miura, Jacob P. Stine, Nicholas J. Cardell

Patent number: 11351469Abstract: A starting location for the mini-game is chosen in the legacy game state. A snapshot is generated of that location. Once the snapshot is taken, trigger events are identified. Triggers corresponding to the trigger events are identified. A mini-game script is generated using the snapshot and triggers. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Brian Michael Christopher Watson, Victor Octav Suba Miura, Jacob P.

Patent number: 9925468Abstract: A snapshot of an emulated game may be generated by a client. At some point during the emulation of the emulated game, a snapshot initiator delivers a suspension request to an emulator. Once the suspension request is received, the emulator will suspend the emulated title. The emulator generates a snapshot of the emulated game by recording the current state of all devices being emulated. The snapshot is then delivered to the client.

Patent number: 9717989Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention describe the addition of a haptic response to legacy games that were not originally programed to support haptics. The haptic capabilities may be added to the legacy game while it is being emulated by an emulator. The emulator is designed to generate a haptic stimulus that may be sent to the client device platform when a haptic trigger is present in the legacy game. The client device platform may then use the haptic stimulus to generate a haptic response. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2013Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT INC.Inventors: Victor Octav Suba Miura, Brian Michael Christopher Watson, Jacob P.
