Sling TV L.L.C.
holds 1 granted patent in Streaming. The patent covers technology for simultaneous video Streaming and cloud gaming within a split interface. The system tracks both viewing and gameplay time through timestamped status messages, which can be used to determine rewards for users.
Sling TV's single Streaming patent tackles the challenge of measuring user engagement when someone watches video and plays cloud games at the same time. The system uses a split interface that displays both activities concurrently, with a unified timestamped messaging architecture tracking playback state for Streaming and interaction state for gaming within the same session. This approach allows a rewards system to account for both types of activity simultaneously, rather than treating Streaming and gaming as separate engagement metrics that can't be measured together.
