Netflix

Granted Patents 2 patents

Overview

Netflix received 2 granted patents in H1 2026, all in UI/UX.

The patents cover technology for transforming mobile devices into intelligent second-screen game controllers, featuring context-aware layouts that adapt dynamically to real-time gameplay events. Additionally, the UI/UX category includes an adaptive feedback system that customizes haptic, Audio, and visual responses on second-screen controllers based on both in-game activities and individual device Hardware capabilities.

Technology Themes

Both UI/UX patents center on making a secondary device, like a phone or tablet, function as a smarter, more responsive game controller. The first describes a system where the controller's on-screen layout is not fixed but instead shifts automatically in response to what is happening in the game at that moment, allowing different players on different devices to see different information depending on their role. The second builds on that foundation by addressing how the device physically and aurally responds to gameplay: rather than delivering identical feedback to every device, the system detects what a given piece of Hardware is actually capable of and adjusts its haptic, Audio, and visual responses accordingly, while also sorting those responses into categories so players can tell apart routine inputs from more meaningful in-game events without needing to look at the screen.
