Coming across few stirring patents filed by the tech giants, it has been felt necessary for me to bring a whole new series of blogs to the notice which only talks about some of the stunning inventive patents filed around the decade.

The series should definitely hit with a triggering start which can’t be achieved without missing the launch of all new Sony’s Play Station 5 console in the rambling gaming market, especially during the Covid situation.

The brand new console had been giving a hint on the internet towards some evolutionary changes when it comes to gaming User Interface. Patent US 10675544, filed by Sony Interactive Entertainment long before, provides for a personalized user interface to access games available for a user account based on in-application behaviour.

Earlier, the game data such as points scored, hurdles crossed, enemies captured or overcome, game tools captured, spent or awarded, communications with friends, etc. were captured while playing a game on consoles. However, such game data could not be retrieved on re-starting the game from the point where the game was being paused.

Further, issues as to the frustration and lack of satisfactory user experience was being observed due to the non-retrieval of data such as losing unlocked special moves in arcade titles like Mortal Kombat X.

Thus the Sony’s invention claims to provide user with option to view specific behaviour metrics for the user before or during game play and to allow the user to view game state of a prior game play of the game played by the user without having to navigate through multiple menus. It would also be advantageous if the user is allowed to view game play of other users to allow the user to improve his/her game playing skills.

This recently published patent by Sony can be a game changer in the gaming market.
