Adeia secured 4 granted patents across 3 categories: VR & AR (1), Cloud Gaming (2), and Game Mechanics (1).
The VR & AR patent covers dynamic personal bubble zones for headsets that automatically resize based on user body size and move with users in shared physical spaces to prevent collisions. In Cloud Gaming, one patent addresses switching between low-latency and adaptive bitrate Streaming protocols during cutscenes to reduce bandwidth consumption, while another enables dynamic mid-session virtual machine upgrades for real-time performance adjustments. The Game Mechanics patent describes an AI-driven system that analyzes player behavior and social data to suggest personalized item transfers between multiplayer participants.
The single VR & AR patent tackles a persistent problem in shared physical spaces where multiple headset users risk colliding with one another. Instead of relying on static guardian boundaries that each user manually configures at the start of a session, this approach creates personalized safe zones that adjust automatically to individual body dimensions and track the headset's position in real time. These bubbles coordinate across multiple devices to prevent overlap, eliminating the need for users to pause and redraw boundaries when they move around the room or when new participants join.
Two cloud gaming patents optimize resource allocation during active sessions. The first switches Streaming protocols on the fly, using low-latency RTP for interactive gameplay but shifting to adaptive bitrate HLS during cutscenes and advertisements when rapid input response is unnecessary. This protocol swap happens automatically based on content detection rather than requiring manual intervention, cutting bandwidth and GPU load at the network edge without affecting the player's experience. The second patent allows players to upgrade their virtual machine resources mid-session through dynamic service-level agreement renegotiation, enabling real-time boosts to frame rates or graphical fidelity during demanding moments like boss battles or competitive modes. These upgrades respond to in-game events rather than fixed subscription tiers, letting cloud infrastructure adapt to gameplay context without forcing a session restart.
A single Game Mechanics patent replaces traditional in-game marketplaces with a proactive trading system. Rather than requiring players to browse generic item listings, the system analyzes behavioral patterns and social data to suggest specific item transfers tailored to each player's activity and needs. These recommendations appear directly in the game environment and include score-based valuation that adjusts per player, trial usage periods, and timer-restricted re-transfer windows to create a structured economy layer.
