Intel filed 1 patent in 1 category: Cloud Gaming (1). The filing covers technology for Streaming games in segments rather than as complete downloads.
During level or scene transitions, the client device retrieves only the upcoming content and removes data no longer needed, reducing latency without requiring a full installation.
AT&T's cloud gaming patent describes a hybrid approach that sits between traditional downloads and pure video Streaming. The system monitors gameplay for natural breaks like level changes or scene transitions, then uses those moments to fetch the next segment of content while deleting earlier portions the player has moved past. By tying both downloads and deletions to these detected transitions, the device maintains only what's immediately relevant rather than storing the entire game or relying solely on a remote video feed. The approach manages the local footprint dynamically as the player progresses through the game.
