Las Vegas Sands received 1 granted patent this quarter in the Platforms category.
The patent covers a server-side validation system for video games that detects cheating and software bugs through action log replay. The Platforms technology compares game state models in real-time by processing client action logs on the server, enabling verification of gameplay integrity.
Las Vegas Sands received 1 Platforms patent that tackles the challenge of validating online gameplay without slowing down the player experience. The system records client actions in a compressed format and replays them server-side using the same game logic code that runs on the client. This replay happens at accelerated speeds and asynchronously, meaning it doesn't interrupt or delay the live game session. By comparing the server's reconstructed game state with what the client reported, the system can identify both cheating attempts and programming bugs through deterministic verification, avoiding the performance costs of fully server-authoritative architectures while eliminating the security risks of purely client-trusted models.
