Dell received 2 granted patents in H1 2026 across 2 categories: AI & Machine Learning (1) and UI/UX (1).
The AI & Machine Learning patent covers heat mapping technology that uses artificial intelligence to identify important screen zones and position gaming notifications in areas that avoid disrupting gameplay across multi-room home setups. The UI/UX patent describes a gaming controller with an adjustable center of gravity that shifts weight dynamically in response to in-game events, providing haptic feedback through physical weight redistribution.
The 1 AI & Machine Learning patent centers on a gaming controller that physically repositions its internal weight in response to in-game events, rather than relying on vibration alone. By shifting the controller's actual center of gravity, the system gives developers a way to communicate directional forces and in-game physics through how the device feels in a player's hands.
Rounding out the filing period, the 1 UI/UX patent addresses where on-screen notifications appear during gameplay by using real-time heat mapping to identify which areas of the display a player is actively focused on. Instead of placing overlays at fixed screen positions, the system routes them to zones the player is least likely to be watching at any given moment. The patent extends this capability to multi-room home setups, where the UI reconfigures itself as a player moves between displays of different sizes.
