  • Publication number: 20250018300
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may provide a system that enables game play or other application sessions from a set of candidate game hosts and environments to consumption devices of a user's choice while the user moves about their home between the different environments. The system may employ methods to determine where a user is located within the home, availability and selection of candidate game hosting and target environments, homing and direction of related I/O and audio-visual (AV) content for consumption. The solution accommodates multiple users simultaneously within the home, whether in single player, multiplayer using the same screen, or multiplayer using separate screen games. The solution may configure AV and input/output (I/O) such that multiple users can consume one or multiple games in the home simultaneously, whether in separate locations or when seated together in front of the same consumption device.

  • Publication number: 20240226718
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may provide a system that enables improved input classification and processing for I/O devices. In one aspect, a computing device may receive interaction data from an I/O device. The interaction data may be associated with a first user interaction. The computing device may classify, with a first model and based on the interaction data, the first user interaction as an invalid input and may reject the first user interaction. In certain aspects, the computing device is the I/O device.

  • Publication number: 20240189714
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may detect user interface (UI) elements of a gaming application UI and rearrange and/or modify the UI elements in response to a change in aspect ratio of the gaming application. An anchor may be determined for each UI element as the aspect ratio of the gaming application changes such that the gaming application's aspect ratio may be changed without eliminating important UI elements. In cases where a UI element is modified, the UI element may be made collapsible, may be split into sub-elements, or may be separated from the rest of the UI elements and displayed on a separate device.

  • Publication number: 20240189715
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may provide a system that adjusts a user interface (UI) of a game in a non-obtrusive way to a user. The system may determine the least obtrusive area(s) on the screen for a UI element game overlay to be presented, at least in part by determining an importance level for area on the screen containing a UI element. The importance level for an area on the screen may be determined using a generated heat map that indicates the importance values of various areas of the screen. The heat map may be generated with inputs including one or more of user interactions with UI elements, game context, UI element rate of change, user matching, and user preferences. The system may temporarily hide UI elements from display that are determined to be below a threshold importance level.

  • Patent number: 11799921
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may provide a system that enables determining, for each respective content component of a streaming session, a host device for displaying the respective content component. The system may utilize user, content, and device context to orchestrate content components across all connected displays to maximize the collective user experience across all users in an environment. Inputs may be provided to a machine learning model that considers every possible layout combination of content components on a one or more host devices and outputs potential layouts for the one or more host devices. The potential layouts may be sorted by confidence and one layout selected for each of the one or more host devices.
