InterDigital CE Patent Holdings, SAS filed 1 patent this quarter 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 for cloud gaming applications. This approach aims to enable more efficient compression and reduce Streaming latency by providing additional context about the virtual camera's perspective during gameplay.
InterDigital's cloud gaming patent addresses the unique characteristics of rendered game content versus traditional video. The application embeds virtual camera metadata, including position, orientation, and field of view, directly into the video bitstream syntax. This allows the compression algorithm to make encoding decisions based on the fact that game frames come from a deterministic 3D rendering engine rather than a camera capturing unpredictable real-world scenes. The method targets ultra-low latency Streaming by treating game content as fundamentally different from conventional video footage.
