Samsung received 1 granted patent in 1 category: Cloud Gaming (1). The patent covers a dedicated input offloading module that separates game controller inputs from game application processing.
This architecture reduces latency in cloud gaming systems by eliminating thread contention bottlenecks between input handling and game logic execution.
Samsung's single cloud gaming patent tackles the persistent latency problem that occurs when controller inputs compete for processing resources with game rendering tasks. The system creates a separate, isolated process specifically for handling controller data, complete with its own authentication credentials that allow it to operate independently. By routing input through this dedicated module rather than through the main game application thread, the design prevents the slowdowns that typically happen when games perform computationally intensive operations. The approach eliminates the need for controller signals to wait in queue behind Graphics rendering or physics calculations, maintaining responsive controls even during gameplay peaks.
