Sling TV L.L.C.
received 1 granted patent this quarter in Streaming (1). The patent covers technology for simultaneous video Streaming and cloud gaming displayed in a split interface. This approach includes timestamped status messages that track both viewing and gameplay time, enabling a rewards system based on user engagement with both types of content.
Sling TV's single Streaming patent tackles the challenge of measuring user engagement across two very different activities happening at once. The system displays video content and cloud gaming side by side in a split interface, but the real work happens beneath the surface. A unified tracking architecture generates timestamped status messages that capture both what users are watching and how they're interacting with games, all within the same session. This allows a rewards program to credit users for time spent on both Streaming playback and active gameplay, rather than treating each as an isolated activity that must be measured separately.
