Adeia received 1 granted patent this quarter in Cloud Gaming.
The patent covers adaptive video compression technology that dynamically adjusts quality during scene changes to prevent lag spikes in cloud gaming streams over fluctuating networks. This work addresses the technical challenges of maintaining smooth gameplay when network conditions vary during Streaming sessions.
The cloud gaming patent tackles a persistent problem in streamed gameplay: sudden quality drops and stuttering when scenes change quickly. Traditional encoders can produce oversized frames during transitions, causing either visual artifacts or complete stream interruptions when the network can't handle the burst. This approach uses a feedback loop between the encoder and rate controller to predict how large a frame will be before sending it, then adjusts compression settings on the fly to keep frame sizes within network limits. The method prevents the disruptive keyframe resets that typically break cloud gaming sessions when encoders struggle with complex scenes.
