Samsung received 1 granted patent in H1 2026, covering Cloud Gaming (1).
The patent addresses latency reduction in cloud gaming through a specialized input offloading architecture. This approach introduces a dedicated module that handles game controller inputs independently from the main game application processing, preventing thread contention bottlenecks that typically slow response times.
In the cloud gaming category, Samsung's 1 patent targets a specific bottleneck that arises when controller input must compete with game processing on the same thread. The patented system creates a separate, isolated process dedicated entirely to handling game controller data, complete with its own authentication credentials, so that input signals never have to pass through the game application's execution pipeline. When a game performs heavy computation, traditional architectures force input handling to wait in line, causing latency spikes at exactly the moments when responsiveness matters most. By giving input its own lane, the system keeps controller data moving regardless of what the game application is doing at any given moment.
