Riot Games holds 1 granted patent in UI/UX.
The patent covers a system for displaying enemy character information on mobile MOBA interfaces, using a rule-based approach to determine when icons should appear for off-screen enemies. These icons combine library elements that convey character identity, health status, and directional information to maintain screen readability on smaller displays.
Riot's single UI/UX patent tackles the challenge of translating MOBA gameplay to mobile screens by controlling when and how off-screen enemy information appears. The system uses a set of rules to decide whether an icon should display for an enemy character positioned just beyond the visible play area. Rather than showing a static marker, the approach assembles each indicator from a library of visual components that communicate which character it represents, how much health they have remaining, and where they are located relative to the player. The visibility logic also accounts for fog-of-war mechanics, ensuring the interface respects the game's information rules and only surfaces details when contextually appropriate.
