A brand new Sony patent has been spotted by TGP in which the company is seeking to use AI machine learning in order to reduce lag in games.
Assuming this ends up being used in PlayStation 5, this would be super good news for online players who want to have the lowest m/s response time possible which would be crucial in games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Street Fighter V.
Obviously like any patent, there is no guarantee that this patent will be made into a reality, but it certainly does seem like a feature that would tip competitive players toward PlayStation 5 as an online gaming platform.
You can catch the appropriate blurb and images from the patent below:
“The present disclosure is related to allocating resources for an online game, and more specifically to building an artificial intelligence (AI) model and using the AI model to identify and allocate resources for the online game. Additional resources may be identified that provided higher bandwidth for transmitting the frames to the client devices.
Based on this information, the algorithm may identify the processing resources and provision these processing resources in anticipation that the gameplay may require these resources to provide the game data to the client device with very minimal lag. The resources that may be identified by the algorithm for provisioning to the online game may be the same resources that were previously assigned to the online game or resources that have similar or better capabilities.”
