Tencent received 1 granted patent in the Game Engines category.
The patent covers a dynamic map update system that adjusts element refresh rates based on how frequently changes occur in different areas. The technology also includes a development framework that encapsulates map classes to reduce the complexity of building game maps.
Tencent's single game engine patent tackles the dual challenges of efficient map rendering and faster development workflows. The system monitors how often individual map elements change and automatically adjusts their refresh rates accordingly, replacing the traditional approach of updating everything at fixed intervals or through manually coded logic. This per-element adaptive strategy means static objects consume fewer resources while frequently changing elements update as needed. The patent pairs this runtime optimization with a framework that lets developers add new map components through configuration files rather than writing custom code for each element, separating the visual update mechanics from the underlying implementation of each map feature.
