AT&T received 1 granted patent in cloud gaming.
The patent covers technology for Streaming game content more efficiently by downloading only necessary data during gameplay transitions. This approach reduces both storage requirements and load times on player devices.
AT&T's single cloud gaming patent tackles the persistent challenge of balancing local storage constraints with seamless gameplay. Rather than forcing players to download entire games upfront or rely entirely on server-side rendering, the system fetches content just ahead of when it's needed and actively purges outdated assets. The approach treats transition periods between game segments as opportunities rather than dead time, using those moments to handle both downloads and deletions. By managing content dynamically on the device itself, the technology sidesteps the bandwidth demands of pure Streaming while avoiding the storage burden of traditional installations.
