Samsung filed 1 patent in 1 category: Cloud Gaming (1). The filing covers technology for intelligently displaying gaming interface tools on a television-based gaming hub.
The Cloud Gaming patent describes a system that compares screen states before and after a pause event, then selectively shows only the quick-panel tools (such as mini maps, aim points, FPS counters, and timers) that remain functional given the changed screen conditions.
Samsung's single cloud gaming patent tackles a specific problem that arises when overlay tools meet unpredictable pause behavior in streamed games. The system captures the screen just before a pause, waits for the cloud server to respond, then compares the returned frame pixel by pixel to determine which quick-panel functions can still operate. Different games handle pauses differently, some displaying full-screen menus, others dimming the action or showing partial overlays, and the client has no advance knowledge of which approach a given title will use. By analyzing the actual returned image rather than relying on a static list of available tools, the device filters out functions that target screen areas now obscured or altered, presenting only the overlays that will work with the current pause state.
