This category includes 2 granted patents from 2 companies, GN Store Nord (1) and Sony (1).
The patents cover technologies related to gameplay capture and cross-platform session management. GN Store Nord's patent describes a system that holds gameplay footage in a rolling buffer within fast storage, committing that window to permanent storage only when a defined action is triggered. Sony's patent covers a universal game session invite system that uses shareable URLs to route players to their native platform client, allowing invites to be sent across platforms such as PS5, Xbox, and PC without relying on platform-specific friend lists.
GN Store Nord received 1 patent covering a smarter approach to gameplay capture. Rather than recording an entire session and leaving players to scrub back through footage, the system keeps a rolling window of recent gameplay in fast storage, then commits that window to a separate, permanent storage tier only when a specific trigger action is detected. The result is that the moments immediately before the trigger are preserved automatically, even when a player would not have had time to clip them manually.
Sony received 1 patent describing a cross-platform session invite system built around shareable web links. Instead of relying on any single platform's friend list or proprietary invite infrastructure, the system generates a URL that can be passed along freely and then routes each recipient to their own native platform client when they open it. This means a player on PS5 can invite someone on Xbox or PC without the two parties needing a shared friend connection on either platform.
