Now.GG received 1 granted patent this quarter in Cloud Gaming (1).
The patent covers an authentication system for cloud gaming that enables users to access remote Hardware, such as mobile devices running in the cloud, without repeated login prompts. This approach relies on pre-provisioned tokens stored on client devices to maintain seamless session continuity across different devices.
Now.GG's single cloud gaming patent addresses a specific authentication challenge that arises when users need to access actual Hardware running remotely in the cloud. The system stores authentication tokens on the user's local device ahead of time, then uses those tokens to automatically unlock the remote Hardware when a cloud gaming session begins. What distinguishes this approach from typical single sign-on systems is that it physically unlocks Hardware controls on the remote device, such as a screen lock on a cloud-hosted mobile phone, rather than simply granting software-level access. The patent matches these pre-stored tokens with cloud authentication credentials to provision the remote Hardware seamlessly, eliminating the need for users to manually authenticate each time they connect to a cloud gaming service.
