This page contains 1 granted patent from Google in the Streaming & Broadcasting category.
Google's patent covers technology that enables game livestream audiences to collectively vote on in-game actions in real-time. The system transforms passive viewers into active participants who can influence gameplay decisions during live streams.
Google received 1 patent that creates a formal system for audience participation in live game streams. The technology establishes a dedicated Remote Input Aggregation (RIA) application layer that manages the complete process of collecting viewer input, from initial solicitation through final execution. Rather than relying on informal suggestions typed into chat, the system algorithmically processes audience proposals using clustering and centroid calculation techniques, then presents them as visual heat maps before injecting the aggregated decisions directly into the running game session. The approach converts scattered viewer ideas into structured, actionable inputs that can modify gameplay in real time.
