Netflix received 1 granted patent this quarter in the UI/UX category.
The patent covers an adaptive feedback system for second-screen game controllers that delivers haptic, Audio, and visual responses synchronized with in-game events. The system customizes these device responses based on the Hardware capabilities of each controller.
Netflix's single UI/UX patent tackles the challenge of delivering consistent gaming feedback across diverse second-screen devices with varying Hardware capabilities. The system automatically detects what each controller can support and adapts its combination of haptic vibrations, sounds, and visual cues accordingly, ensuring players receive appropriate responses even on devices lacking certain features. Beyond simple adaptation, the patent introduces a categorization scheme that organizes feedback into input confirmation, informative notifications, and immersive atmosphere types. This classification allows players to understand what's happening in the game through controller responses alone, distinguishing between their own actions, important game state changes, and ambient environmental effects without needing to look at the screen.
