Tencent holds 2 granted patents across 2 categories: Graphics (1) and UI/UX (1).
The Graphics patent covers GPU-accelerated color space conversion, using shader pipelines to transform images between RGB and YUV formats faster than CPU-based pixel-by-pixel processing. In the UI/UX category, Tencent has patented a multi-slot accessory switching interface for shooting games that allows players to freely swap between 3 or more weapon attachments via touch gestures on mobile devices.
The single Graphics patent shifts color space conversion from CPU to GPU by leveraging shader pipelines with texture coordinate mapping. Instead of processing pixels one by one in sequence, the approach transforms all pixels simultaneously through parallel operations on the Graphics processor. This architectural change replaces traditional iterative methods with a parallelized workflow that handles RGB and YUV conversions at higher speeds.
Tencent's UI/UX patent introduces a multi-slot accessory system for mobile shooting games that breaks past the typical two-option toggle. Players can switch between 3 or more weapon attachments using a radial or panel-based interface activated by specific touch gestures. The design allows contextual swapping during combat without disrupting the action, expanding accessory management beyond simple primary and secondary configurations.
