  • Transactional memory synchronization for synchronization of game instance functions between remotely located servers or data centers
    Patent number: 11511187
    Abstract: An online gaming service is provided, having two or more servers, the two or more servers being located in two or more locations that are remote from each other, including: a transaction layer implemented across the two or more servers, for handling synchronization between different sessions of a video game that are respectively executed by the two or more servers; wherein the different sessions of the video game are respectively configured to provide interactivity with a virtual space through respective client devices; wherein the transaction layer is configured to identify sessions providing interactivity with proximate regions of the virtual space, and effect transactional memory synchronization for the identified sessions, such that events in the virtual space generated by the identified sessions are synchronized across each of the identified sessions.

  • Transactional memory synchronization between multiple sessions of a video game
    Patent number: 11020660
    Abstract: An online gaming service is provided, having two or more servers, the two or more servers being located in two or more data centers, including: a transaction layer implemented across the two or more servers, for handling synchronization between different sessions of a video game that are respectively executed by the two or more servers; wherein the different sessions of the video game are respectively configured to provide viewing of a virtual space through respective client devices; wherein the transaction layer is configured to identify sessions providing viewing of proximate regions of the virtual space, and effect transactional memory synchronization for the identified sessions, such that events in the virtual space generated by the identified sessions are synchronized across each of the identified sessions.
