InterDigital CE Patent Holdings, SAS filed 1 patent application in Cloud Gaming (1).
The application covers a method for embedding virtual camera metadata, including position, orientation, and field of view, directly into video bitstreams during cloud gaming sessions. This approach enables more efficient compression and ultra-low latency Streaming by allowing the system to leverage camera-specific information during video encoding and transmission.
InterDigital's single cloud gaming patent tackles a fundamental inefficiency in how game Streaming systems compress video. Traditional codecs process rendered game frames as if they were live-action footage captured by a physical camera, missing opportunities to optimize based on how the images were actually created. This patent instead embeds the virtual camera's position, orientation, and field of view directly into the bitstream syntax, allowing the encoder to make compression decisions that account for the predictable, deterministic nature of 3D rendered scenes rather than treating them like real-world video.
