Patent number: 11602686Abstract: Implementations are provided that permit a seamless activation of a game or other application on a host device from a game controller. The game may be launched on the host device in response to an activation signal that is dispatched from the game controller. The game controller may generate the activation signal or it may send such a signal to the host device for processing. The game controller may detect that an action button has been pressed and generate the activation signal in response thereto.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2021Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Christopher Jones, Jeffrey David Yaksick

Patent number: 9509673Abstract: Content stored on a server may be selected using a user device and enabled on a central device. The identity of the central device may be authenticated without transmitting user credentials corresponding to the user, user device, user account, etc. A central device identifier can be sent to the server via the user device. An encrypted version of the central device identifier may be returned to the user device and to the central device. The central device can send the encrypted and unencrypted version of the identifier to the server, and the server can transmit the desired content to the remote device based on a comparison of the encrypted and unencrypted identifier.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2014Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Jason Parks, Timothy Kilbourn, Jeremy Ellington, Cyrus Phiroze Master, Joe Freeman Britt, Jr., Jeremy Lyon, Eugene Koh, Owen Daniel Otto, Michael Jonathon Chen, Jason Simmons, Dmitry Dolinsky, Jeffrey David Yaksick, Manuel Roman
