  • Persistent linked sign-in for gaming consoles
    Patent number: 10904248
    Abstract: Gaming console user sign-in systems, methods, and services are provided herein. In one example, a user device, such as a gaming console, detects a connection event for a user input device and responsively determines a device identifier provided by the user input device associated with the connection event. The method includes linking a user identity for use on the user device to the device identifier, and persisting the linking between the user identity and the device identifier over more than one power cycle of the user device for sign-in of the user identity on the user device based on subsequent connection events involving the user input device.
