  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20230311006
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and one or more processors coupled to the memory. The one or more processors are configured to determine a first setting of a first parameter associated with a first device. The first device is associated with a first device type. The one or more processors are further configured to detect an event. The event is associated with one of the first parameter or a second device that is associated with a second parameter, and the second device is associated with a second device type. The one or more processors are further configured to determine, based on detecting the event, a second setting of the second parameter for the second device based on a calibration relationship between the first parameter and the second parameter.

  • Publication number: 20230217064
    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.
