This month's Streaming & Broadcasting category includes 2 filed patent applications, both from Adeia.
The patents cover server-side streaming architecture and camera control technology for cloud gaming and game streaming environments. Adeia's filings address peer-to-peer RTP delivery from game consoles, including congestion-aware scheduling and adaptive bitrate fallback for low-bandwidth connections, as well as automated camera angle switching that uses multiplexed virtual IMU data and personalized calibration thresholds to reduce motion sickness for remote players.
Adeia received 2 patents in this category, both centered on improving the streaming experience for remote players in cloud gaming and game streaming contexts. The first covers a system where a game console functions as a peer-to-peer RTP server, managing multiple clients simultaneously through a scheduling mechanism that bases transmission decisions on the slowest or most delayed player in the session, while mapping bitrate levels to encoding properties defined on a per-game-title basis. When network conditions deteriorate beyond a usable threshold, the system falls back to an adaptive bitrate spectator mode and can optionally substitute an AI-controlled character in place of a disconnected player, keeping the game session intact. The second patent addresses motion sickness by automating camera angle switches during streaming, computing virtual IMU parameters directly from in-game camera data and embedding that metadata alongside the video stream so that each viewer's device can make real-time switching decisions based on thresholds calibrated to that individual user, removing the need for any manual intervention or hardware-based stabilization.
