Supercell has 1 granted patent in Networking.
The patent covers matchmaking technology that addresses sparse player populations by proactively identifying and inviting skill-matched players through push notifications. This Networking approach aims to reduce wait times when insufficient players are available for multiplayer sessions.
The Networking patent tackles the problem of long wait times when there aren't enough active players to fill a skill-matched multiplayer session. Rather than leaving players in a queue until others happen to log in, the system identifies suitable participants who are offline and sends them push notifications inviting them to join a game in progress. This proactive recruitment differs from traditional matchmaking, which only works with players already connected to the server. By reaching beyond the current player pool, the approach aims to assemble balanced matches even when online populations are low.
