Patents by Inventor Benjamin McCanny

Benjamin McCanny has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9830014
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a system for processing user input on a device is disclosed which includes a low-latency subsystem (LLS) adapted to receive signals from an input subsystem and to selectively forward the signals to a conventional software stack. The subsystem is adapted to generate a low-latency response in response to one or more of the signals and the signals received by the subsystem comprise an input which triggers a cross-control behavior that inhibits forwarding of at least some of the signals to the conventional software stack. In another embodiment, a system for processing user input having an input subsystem is disclosed. A LLS is adapted to receive signals from the input subsystem and to generate a low-latency response in response to one or more of the signals, and to send at least one of the signals to a regular output subsystem. The LLS is configured to identify the cross-control behavior and generate a response reflecting the behavior.

  • Patent number: 9632615
    Abstract: A system for processing user input with reduced control response latency includes an input device, an input processing unit, a high-latency subsystem, a low-latency subsystem, input processing unit software for generating signals, and an output device. The low-latency subsystem receives the signals and generates low-latency output and the high-latency subsystem processes the signals and generates high-latency output. In an embodiment, the signals comprise an identification of a defined cross-control behavior.
