AI-Driven Input Prediction to Minimize Lag

Sony's New Patents Predicts Your Moves and Turns the PS5 Controller Into a Gun

A key patent, titled "Timed Input/Action Release," proposes a camera system that observes the player and controller. AI, utilizing a machine learning model, analyzes this footage to predict the player's upcoming button presses. Alternatively, the system could interpret "incomplete controller actions" to infer player intent. The goal is to proactively process inputs, thereby reducing lag and improving online gaming responsiveness.

Enhanced Gunplay Realism with a DualSense Trigger Attachment

Another notable patent describes a trigger attachment designed to transform the DualSense controller into a more realistic firearm simulation. Players would hold the controller sideways, using the space between the R1 and R2 buttons as a sight, and pressing the trigger to mimic firing. This accessory's compatibility with PSVR2 is also mentioned.

Sony's Patent Portfolio and Future Prospects

Sony holds a vast patent portfolio, with a significant percentage actively utilized. Past patents have explored concepts like adaptive difficulty, a DualSense controller with integrated earbud charging, and temperature-sensitive controllers for immersive feedback. However, it's crucial to remember that a patent doesn't guarantee product development. Whether these innovative ideas will materialize into actual products remains to be seen.
