Patent number: 11666823Abstract: Conversion components may receive game video rendered in high-dynamic-range (HDR) and standard-dynamic-range (SDR) camera video of a game player. The conversion components may provide local video output to a local display and remote video output for network transmission to remote viewers. The SDR camera video may be converted to HDR and provided with HDR game video in the local video output. For HDR network transmission, the HDR game video and converted HDR camera video may be included in the remote video output. For SDR network transmission, the HDR game video may be converted to SDR and provided with the SDR camera video in the remote video output. The game video, camera video and other video feeds may have respective portals in the local and remote video outputs. The local and remote video outputs may have respective visual portal arrangements that may be at least partially different from one another.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Om Prakash Gangwal, Ross Alan Cameron Gardner, Daniel Campanile, Alexander Tyler

Patent number: 11425219Abstract: A plurality of image sources that are open on a first computing device may be determined. A plurality of visual representations of the plurality of image sources may be displayed. A selection of a first image source of the plurality of image sources for which to transmit first image data corresponding to the first image source to one or more other computing devices may be received via the plurality of visual representations. A first image capture component to capture the first image data may be automatically selected, by one or more software components, from a plurality of image capture components. The first image data may be captured using the first image capture component, and the first image data may be transmitted to the one or more other computing devices.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Twitch Interactive, Inc.Inventors: Sang Jin Lee, Maxime Boulin, Jackson Gardner, Phillip Carter, Charles Bradford, Ross Alan Cameron Gardner, Tyler McDowall, RayAna Min Stanek, Kevin M.

Patent number: 11076111Abstract: A streaming application setup assistant may receive an image captured by a camera, the image capturing a physical environment that is to be part of a live video stream. A plurality of pixels may be selected from the image. The plurality of pixels may be grouped, based on a pixel color value for each pixel, into a plurality of pixel groups. A key pixel color value may be calculated that is associated with an average pixel color value of pixels in a largest pixel group of the plurality of pixel groups. A similarity color range that encompasses a threshold percentage of the pixels in the largest pixel group may be identified based on the key pixel color value. The similarity color range may be utilized to configure settings for replacement of the background in the live video stream.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2019Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Twitch Interactive, Inc.Inventors: Kevin M. Ni, Jackson Gardner, Charles Bradford, Sean Stanek, Ross Alan Cameron Gardner, Tyler McDowall, Phillip Carter, Furqan Rydhan, Florian Patrick Nierhaus, Sang Jin Lee

Patent number: 10922152Abstract: A visual scripting system can provide support for handling event-specific messages received through an event messaging system. The messaging system can provide event messages over one or more event buses that have a determined behavior context. An event node of a visual scripting system can enable a developer to specify event handlers to detect specific types of event notifications sent on a specified event bus, as well as specific actions to be taken in response to those event notifications, such as to send additional event messages, all of which comply with the behavior context. Once the event node is configured and properties and actions defined, the corresponding script can be generated by the visual scripting system, to be complied and executed as part of a user application.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2019Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jegan Chen, Charles Michael Hutchins Curran, Ross Alan Cameron Gardner, Derric L.

Patent number: 10722801Abstract: A quick or limited matching process can be used to quickly get players of a gaming application into an active game session. In order to improve the quality of the match for a subsequent game session, a longer-running match process can be utilized while players are engaged in a current game session. A pool of players likely to be available around the time at which a current game session will end is determined. The longer-running match process can analyze the data for the player pool to determine matches of players for one or more future game sessions. Information for these sessions can be provided to the relevant players, who are then enabled to join in the respective sessions. Such a process provides for more flexibility and accuracy in the matching process without extending the player wait times endured.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2018Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Jeff Curley, Bruce Erwin Brown, Ross Alan Cameron Gardner, Brian J.
